Looks like Trump and Hegseth might be preparing to throw the military under the bus on the second strike.

This is why you donโ€™t execute illegal orders. Because you are responsible

The 6 Democratsโ€™ Video Is Accurate and Necessary Itโ€™s the Administration's Dishonesty and Saber-Rattling That Are the Problem

Make Money Not War: Trumpโ€™s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europeโ€™s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

Steve Witkoff has shown the world he will adopt Putin's talking points and concede the sovereignty of our Ukrainian allies if it means some of his billionaire buddies can get rich off Russia.

It's un-American and a total betrayal of our values. Witkoff needs to be fired.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. Thatโ€™s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defenseโ€ฆ He runs around on a stage like heโ€™s a 12 year old playing army. Itโ€™s embarrassing.

When a politician says: weโ€™ll deregulate health insurance and send you a โ€œfreedom accountโ€ check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers donโ€™t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store thatโ€™s not open.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to โ€œright-sizeโ€ its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

28 Points Later A definitive guide to the Russian zombie diplomacy of Trumpโ€™s peace plan for Ukraine โ€” aka what happens when you let the Russians eat your brains

The โ€œdealโ€ deprives Ukraine of everything it has won by withstanding Russian aggression and defending the borders of Europe.

It rewards Russian lawlessnessโ€”and makes America complicit in the lawlessness.

Itโ€™s the end of post WWII American power.

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White Houseโ€™s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable โ€”not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.

Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

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.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Many in Trumpโ€™s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.

Many Republicans wonโ€™t do town halls.

They avoid the citizenry because theyโ€™ve stopped serving them.

We deserve much better.

Three men โ€” Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos โ€” now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined.

They own the media.
They own the algorithms.
They own politicians in both parties.

The system is rigged โ€” but We the People can take it back.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The president got his feelings hurt, so he tore down part of the White House.

Every tantrum shows weakness.
