The war in Iran has shown that Trump’s inability to perceive reality has become truly dangerous. Iran is a disaster, but Trump’s irrationality could create other, even more perilous situations.

This is a flip from 🔴 to 🔵 and flips the board to Democratic control.

Q: Russia seems to have increased their attacks on civilian targets. That must be of concern to you.

TRUMP: Look, we're not involved. We're separated by an ocean.

My friend just drove to Mexico for the day to get a $350 dental procedure that would’ve cost him $5,000 in the U.S.

This wasn't at a roadside clinic either. It was a state of the art facility with great reviews. Apparently a ton of Americans are going there.

A four hour drive to save 93% on healthcare. Something needs fixing over here.

The news story about Donald Trump being totally desperate for immunity from tax fraud and the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capitol One for widespread money laundering, are RELATED.

I want to point out that with their unilateral oversight authority, Republicans in Congress have not held in contempt anyone associated with the Trump Crime Family, the #EpsteinFiles, the pay-for-pardons scheme, the no-bid Gov’t contracts to Trump aligned businesses.

Elon Musk & his DOGE boys wouldn't shut up about the billions in "waste" they were finding. Turns out most of that was a lie (shocker).

This was never about "waste," it was about undermining Americans’ faith in govt & grabbing big govt contracts for Trump's billionaire buddies.

In Russia's Ekaterinburg, drones have just attacked the largest Wildberries logistics complex in the Sverdlovsk region. A large-scale fire broke out at the facility after the attack.

The complex, with an area of over 158,000 square meters, is Wildberries' main logistics hub in the Ural region. It provides storage and distribution of goods for several regions of Russia and is located approximately 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

UM--Hillary CLINTON was never US AG or President. So she could NOT prosecute anyone. And Barack Obama was president before Trump ever became president. @SenThomTillis, you are the nut case. Please go back to NC and stay there. Thanks, America.

APPLEBAUM: The U.S. through negotiations helped create a climate in which Putin feels that continuing the war is possible.

Witkoff and Kushner went to Moscow to negotiate deals with Russian companies, rather than focus on ending war.

Russians had, if not a friend in Washington, at least somebody who wouldn't stop them, they had this feeling.

I'm afraid it's now the second way in which the United States is facilitating the continuation of the war in Ukraine.

One, by not offering Ukraine missile defense, and the second way is by having really flubbed negotiations quite badly.

Europe is now, for the moment, very solid. European money and weapons are what's keeping Ukraine going.

Plus Ukraine's extraordinary ability to generate new technologies, which already makes Ukrainian army way ahead of ours.

But, you know, the United States remains an ambiguous, opaque, or ambivalent player here.

And hasn't clearly intervened to stop the war, or give Ukraine the support it'd need to convince Russia to stop the war.

На аэродроме "Гвардейское" были прилеты, горит склад ГСМ, слышна детонация стрелковых боеприпасов
Пожар очень сильный, освещает на несколько километров окружающую территорию. Всего видно два очага пожаров.

С этого аэродрома русские запускают "шахеды".

Well, this was a pleasant surprise.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board published a major piece criticizing the U.S. failure to provide Ukraine with the missiles it desperately needs to defend its cities from russia’s ballistic missile attacks.

Someone shared my recent post, “I am utterly ashamed,” in the comments under the article.

It became the most liked and the most shared comments under the piece.

Thank you to everyone who is engaging with my posts, sharing, and helping to amplify this message.

I hope people in Washington are listening.

Because I meant every word I wrote:

“I am utterly ashamed.”

I am utterly ashamed that the US has stopped any help to Ukraine. We promised Ukrainians that if they give up their nuclear weapons we will guarantee their sovereignty. We made it official and called it the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. But when Ukrainian sovereignty came under attack in 2014, we did nothing. Just as we are doing nothing today to stop the russian aggression.

I am utterly ashamed of the US president – a man who not only refused to help Ukraine survive, but openly sided with war criminal Putin. Since Trump took office, russia has exponentially increased its missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities and civilians. Trump gave them silent permission.

I am utterly ashamed of those who voted for Trump, and especially those who still, after all the lies and betrayals, continue to cheer him on. I find such behavior despicable and morally bankrupt.

Finally, I am utterly ashamed of everyone who remains silently complicit in this genocide. People who claim that they are "neutral." The time of judgment will come – whether in this life or eternity. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said: "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."

Universal healthcare is NOT communism.

Affordable education is NOT communism.

A living wage is NOT communism.

The government owning American company stock IS communism.
