People are waking up to just how bad things are with co-presidents Trump & Musk and Republicans running Congress. We don’t have to wait for midterms—we can win special elections now. We’ve been here before and won. @repjasmine.bsky.social lays out the path 🔥

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

Do you stand behind President Zelenskyy and support Ukraine 🇺🇦 in its fight against Russia? If you do, raise a hand and pass it on! ✋

Talk about government efficiency… Hegseth sent a memo giving military leaders less than a week to propose $850 billion in budget cuts a week after he called for an increase in spending and the day before Trump endorsed a House budget calling for a $100 million increase! WTAF? 🤷‍♂️
