This might end up being Trump’s most historic mistake: Foreign aid is not just charity—it’s an investment in stability, diplomacy, and American interests and it saves American lives too.

BREAKING NEWS: After stocks TANKED following Trump’s announcement to tariff Mexico 25% - he’s now backtracking and will delay them a “month” as the Mexican president promises to send the National Guard to the border.

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy. He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served. I spit on him.

From this morning:

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

The central core of Trumpism is voter suppression and election subversion. Too many people only pay attention to this right before elections and forget it once elections are over. We must take this threat literally and seriously if we want to have free and fair elections in the future.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American flying unit in the U.S. military. Altogether, 992 pilots graduated from the Tuskegee Air Field courses, and they flew 1,578 missions and 15,533 sorties, destroyed 261 enemy aircraft, and won more than 850 medals.

That settles that. Disgusting.

The new website is already up. They've even got a section where you can send her a note, so I sent her a note saying how proud I am/we are to support her. kamalaharris.com

How much municipal water was diverted by billionaire Rick Caruso’s private firefighters to protect the restaurants and stores of Palisades’ Village while houses across the street burned to the ground?

Republicans have been shamelessly polluting the planet for 60 years and still have the lying asshole energy to blame wildfires on Black people having jobs.

Anyone who thinks hydrants coming up dry were the real issue in the LA fires should be required to hook up a hose to a hydrant and put out a fire in 50mph winds. No? Then STFU.

Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, communities impacted by the Southern California wildfires can now get cash assistance to cover groceries and medicine. Contact disasterassistance.gov or call (800) 621-3362 now.

I'm dying 😂

How many times and how many ways do we need to tell these jokers we have water?

I do not understand why CNN allows Scott Jennings to lie unchecked. Even if they pushback, as they did about the LAFD DEI/budget LIES, he still said it & they continue to pay him. We can weather a lot of things but allowing people to lie & treating it like a both sides thing *will* break us.

Local, state, out-of-state mutual aid, and federal partners are hard at work battling the Los Angeles wildfires — 🧑‍🚒 8,000+ Personnel 🪖 600+ California National Guard Members 🚒 991 Fire Engines, Dozers & Water Tenders 🚁 40 Helicopters

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.
