In case the President needs a refresher — we went to court against him and his allies 43 times in 2020 to defend our free and fair elections.

He went 0-43.

We're going to keep protecting our democracy –– and we will never let Donald Trump succeed in undermining the will of the people here in Pennsylvania.

This is what it looks like when Trump's billionaire allies own the social media platforms we use.

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on January 20th, 2025, it would be worth $415 today.

You lost everything. He made half a billion.

This year, Trump purchased more than $1 million of Dell stock.

This week, Trump's Pentagon announced a $9.7 billion contract with Dell.

If you took a shit on the floor of the US Capitol on Jan.6, you might be entitled to compensation.

This SCOTUS rulings so far
•Universities using race criteria to counter historical racism in admissions is unconstitutional, BUT
•ICE fascists using race criteria to target people of color is constitutional, BUT
•State legislatures using race criteria to counter historical voter suppression is unconstitutional, BUT
•Trump using race criteria to enact travel bans is constitutional
In short—race criteria that centers white people is constitutional, but race criteria otherwise is unconstitutional😐

MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you.

​1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world.

2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled.

3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations.

4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East.

5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon.

6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill.

7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs.

8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt.

9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world.

10. We’re not the freeloaders.

Trump: do as I say, or I will bomb you back to the stone ages

Iran: best I can do is this 10 point plan where you give us everything we want

Trump: deal!

FoxNews: Trump is a master negotiator

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

Trump is insane.

The US plans to return Russia's frozen assets once a peace agreement is signed, — Politico.

The US has informed EU sanctions chief David O'Sullivan of its decision to return frozen Russian assets to Russia after a peace plan is finalized.

Trump's plan: Russia destroys Ukraine, Europe has to pay for the reconstruction, and he does business with the Russians.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Again we must ask, though we may never know why Trump does everything he can to help Putin and Russia, if he were a Russian agent, what would he do differently?

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

“DOGE leaders pressured agency executives to hire a 21-year-old former intern at Palantir, a data analysis and technology firm, and grant him access to the personal data of every Social Security cardholder despite the executives’ concerns that he lacked sufficient training to handle such sensitive information.”

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

They weren't eating cats and dogs in Springfield, OH.
Aurora CO was not under siege.
The "caravans" magically ceased the moment the polls closed in '18.
And LA isn't even remotely in danger of "burning to the ground."
This is his go-to parlor trick, folks, to divide and distract.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

What you saw from Trump in CA this weekend was not law enforcement.

What you saw was a test of ways and means for Trump to disrupt and pervert the 2026 elections.

Tim Pool, a far-right influencer who was exposed last summer for accepting up to $400,000 a month from Russian state media to spread misinformation, was given the first question at today's White House press briefing.

[Olga Lautman 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @OlgaNYC1211]

Russia has carried out the systematic kidnapping of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, erasing their identities and forcing them into Russian families.

Now, Trump, Musk, and Rubio are helping Russia cover up this genocide as the regime cancels a crucial contract working on these horrific crimes.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in Washington.
The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust.
