There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, and President Biden hadn’t known for at least four fucking years that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. If they didn’t, then every single one of our intelligence agencies….sucked. In short: They fucking knew.

Trump tried a seizure of power in 2021. It didn't work, because he relied only on a violent mob. The military and FBI stayed loyal to the Constitution. This time, with approval of the Republican Senate, Trump has installed anti-constitutional putschists at FBI, DoD, and Pentagon

Russia launched an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022. Since then, thousands of Ukrainians have perished. Entire towns and cities reduced to rubble. It will take them decades to recover, if at all. For Trump to casually flip the narrative via tweet is beyond disgusting.

Countries that support the international order that the U.S. helped cultivate since World War II, that are committed to democracy and the rule of law, that seek peace, stability and prosperity in the world must at this moment view this US admin not as a faltering ally but as an active opponent.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

Just in case the pattern of corruption is not 100% clear, Musk is firing anyone who was "obstructing" his companies in any way. He has co-opted the government to enrich himself at your expense.

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.
