Noo!! But awesome move! By a true leader, putting his country’s safety first. Putin wants an “election” to install a president. And immediate entry into NATO? Brilliant. Hope Ukrainians rally behind him open.substack.com/pub/adampark...

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Musk buys the election for trump & in turn he fires officials so that the National Relations Board can’t rule on the investigations into Musk’s corporations. This is only 1 of many things trump is doing to repay Musk. Now do you understand?

Trump tried to bully Maine governor and threatened to whole education funding if Maine did not comply with his executive order banning trans men from women’s sports. The governor clapped back “see you in court.” Executive orders are not laws. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/ASUvZx1M6Q4O...

#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 Remember when Trump said this?👇 Well, Mr. Felon, I have a gut feeling that there’s going to be a bloodbath coming for you, Musk, and all elected Republican’s who are complicit. See how that works? We can do it also. No fear! Fight back!

GOP should learn from Cleveland’s 2nd term. He refused to provide federal aid to those in crisis and vetoed pensions for veterans. He refused to make adjustments to the failing economy weakening it further. He destroyed his party for a decade. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory time.com/7177312/grov...

Most likely explanation is that the militia wing of the President's supporters, whom the President praised and pardoned for previous attacks on democracy, harassed citizens seeking to express dissent. This is the story of many authoritarian states - is it the American story now?

Trump/Musk don't need any excuses...they are doing whatever they want to...they can just lie and say something happened when in fact it did not...that's all they need to do...nothing real needs to take place!
