Americans should know that Trump just abandoned allies with a combined GDP equivalent to US GDP, in exchange for Russia which has a GDP only 6% the size of US GDP. And Trump convinced MAGA that they were all going to be rich.

I’ve been saying for almost a decade now that trump was recruited when he went to Moscow in 1987. He was $10 billion in debt at the time. An easy target. Over the next few years, his debts magically disappeared. Not coincidence. It was a plan. The plan has now come to fruition. Know the enemy.

Trump and the DoD violated the Impoundment Control Act because they are extorting a mineral resource deal with Ukraine for more aid. They are threatening to cut access to StarLink if Ukraine doesn’t sign up. Call +1 (202)-439-5102 US Government Accountability Office to leave a complaint

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

So true indeed 👇. They have sold themselves to Russia. Russia has been aiding Iran with weapons and missiles, so the GOP has been party to this game going on with Russia,China, and Iran. There is no denying who the real DICTATOR is. 👇

Did everyone make the connection that Trump’s Russian code name recalls a former Russian lieutenant-general who became a Nazi collaborator, lived in exile, and then was sentenced to death by the Soviet Union as a traitor to his country? It’s not a compliment.

A quick review of Hassett's prediction record: – 1999: The Dow should soon hit "36,000." – 2004: "I don't think a [housing] catastrophe is very likely." – 2020: Covid deaths will peak in mid-April, then drop off. And no, he never raised any concerns about trillions in covid aid under Trump.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.
