This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

It was much more than that. He tried to extort him to dig up dirt on his political opponent - or even just say he'd opened an investigation. Trump was rightly impeached on two counts. Senate Republicans saved him in that body's sham trial. 1/x

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

outside of aoc, maxwell frost, jasmine crockett and a select few other dem reps, its hard to think of elected leaders who just let loose and say what we are all thinking about things. and that is a huge part of the democratic party problem. either they dont believe or actively censor themselves.

Don’t forget 25 Russians were indicted for interfering with the 2016 election as a result of the Mueller Investigation. They engaged in a campaign to get Trump elected by impersonating Americans online to spread misinformation and hacking into the DNC computers.

Keep your eye on the ball. JD Vance is laying the groundwork for Trump to defy court orders, weaken the courts, and dismantle checks and balances on the presidency.

We need the best communicators among the Democrats to speak to the public on a regular basis, much like governors did during COVID. This is becoming more urgent as the lawlessness and lies accelerate and it gets harder for people to know what’s true. This should include Pete Buttigieg. Who else?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

Why are Trump & Musk so fixated on Greenland? It’s not just about its strategic location—it’s the minerals. As Greenland’s ice melts (climate change) it’s exposing cobalt, lithium & copper (key for EV batteries).Their interest looks less like America first & more like exploiting crisis for profit.

$16 billion was spent in the last election. Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over. Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires. Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy. For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.

The only thing worse about the House Ethics committee report saying Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for sex is the realization that so many other Republicans were ready to hide that shit. So. Fucking. Gross.

Discussing blanket pardons draws us off of the real issue, the concern that Trump will pervert the criminal justice system & use DOJ as a political tool, which is forcing the Biden administration into these considerations. Don't forget why we're here.

When I was a platoon leader, I had two trans Soldiers in my platoon; two of the most motivated & high-quality Soldiers I’ve observed. Around 15k service members are trans. Expelling trained & capable SM’s harms national security. Most importantly, it’s immoral & goes against our national values.
