I’ve been saying for almost a decade now that trump was recruited when he went to Moscow in 1987. He was $10 billion in debt at the time. An easy target. Over the next few years, his debts magically disappeared. Not coincidence. It was a plan. The plan has now come to fruition. Know the enemy.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Medicaid provides essential healthcare for millions—including children, new parents, seniors, and hardworking adults. That means someone you love relies on it. Protecting Medicaid means protecting our families and communities. Let’s invest in care, not cuts. #MomSky #DontCutMyMedicaid

Senate Republicans just launched an all-night voting spree to rip apart Medicaid and starve kids—all so they can hand more cash to billionaires like Elon Musk. They’re doing this while most people aren’t watching. Absolutely disgraceful.

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.
