If you are fine with Trump eliminating people who steward nature and destroying our National Parks and selling them off to the wealthy—you're an objectively terrible person. I will not be entertaining questions or rebuttals. www.npca.org/articles/707...

"Even before he sparked a riot at the capitol on January 6th, Trump calculated that he needed to foster a sense of grievance among his base if he was going to ever be president again." It worked. Morning Shots from @eggerdc.bsky.social, @samsteindc.bsky.social, and Will Selber:

What we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.

The same Republicans who have refused to do anything about school shootings, let hungry kids starve, rolled back child labor laws & defunded childhood cancer research are now using a single young boy as prop. If they truly cared about him they wouldn’t be gutting the programs designed to help him.

This is a wildly dangerous sign — the idea that there are only five SCOTUS votes for paying congressionally mandated invoices for work already done!? This should be as basic a test of Article I as you can get. And that does not bode well for decisions to come.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

If the US cuts funding for Ukraine, it will have nothing to do with Zelenskyy and everything to do with Trump's weakness. Trump has no plans to end the war and WILL NOT standup to Putin. I wrote the US would cut support to Ukraine in the epilogue of my new book written just days after the election.

It's economically destructive and geopolitical insanity and bad for the United States in every possible way, but more than that, torching our relationships with our closest friends and literal neighbors in Canada and Mexico is a profoundly immoral thing to do, and should be denounced as such.

3 days ago, he publicly bullied Zelensky. Earlier today, he stopped all U.S. cyber operations against Russia. And just now, he paused all military aid to Ukraine. Quit beating around the bush. Trump stands AGAINST the free world. He’s on Putin’s side. He’s doing Putin’s work. Shameful. Traitorous.
