This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

The Trump administration has defended its cuts at the Federal Aviation Administration by saying safety-critical employees weren’t affected. Experts disagree. This article yesterday from Politico

President Zelenskyy is the hero of our generation. There isn’t a leader out there that I admire more or would support over him.

The Trump regime is trying to pressure Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine and force him into exile in France, this is part of an ongoing US / Russia ploy to force a surrender and plunder the country's resources. #StandWithUkraine

Trump called to motivate Team USA before last night's hockey clash against Canada: "We love you guys, and we'll be watching tonight. Bring it home." The Trump endorsement of doom worked out like it always does.😅 #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #ETTD #USAvsCAN #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

WHY DIDN'T THE USA DO THIS?- Because they were too busy with Trump's ongoing YEARS- long Hitler style "Blitzkrieg of Corruption" which kept our DOJ busy with THOUSANDS of J6 prosecutions, HUNDREDS of Trump indictments & prosecutions; Russian "influencers" on YouTube; endless Russian trolls on US SM.

Them's the kind of Americans I thought about while doing my duty in the Army. I detect a very chastened Congress-critter, something they have earned quite right-fully.

Share if you agree! Rep. McGovern: "Maybe before coming after USAID, Republican should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. You want to save some money? Let's start there."

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

As someone who grew up in Huntington Beach I could not be more ashamed of its politics right now. And as a woman who spent over a decade in the NFL working for 3 teams incl as a sideline reporter for Monday Night Football I could not be more proud of an NFL player. This is what patriotism looks like

Trump is spending millions of tax payer dollars to go to sporting events, golfing, and on commercials and ads praising himself. He’s wasting money on a new AirForce One while slashing Medicaid, education grants, & money for medical research. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory apple.news/A2OFaC9u9Sv6...
