Only Donald Trump could assert, in all seriousness, that the most important factor in a superpower's military might is ... branding.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

"The pressure hangs over everyone: We have to protect one another, because no one else is coming to save us. We have to save each other."

America under Trump is all about neighbor protecting neighbor from lawless, faceless thugs who come in the night to kidnap and harm us.

Amazing must-read.

Some people still don’t want to think this, but the explanation that makes the most sense is that he’s doing all this on purpose, not only for his own power and wealth, but specifically to weaken the United States of America.

They erased us from the textbooks. I’m putting us back in the story.

They buried our truth and hoped we’d stay silent.

Precisely. As a world β€œleader” the U.S. is done for decades.

In a White House meeting with civil rights leaders in early 2021, President Biden recounted his first trip to Europe. Biden he announced to them, β€œAmerica’s back!” The European leaders said β€œyeah, but for how long?”

They were skeptical.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Guys! Katie Wilson has pulled ahead in the race for Seattle’s mayor!

They’re still counting votes and she’s only ahead by a hair (less than 100 votes!) but the trend lines are looking good!!
