Trump plunges the US into a new war In fewer than six months in office, the self-proclaimed anti-war president has engrossed the US into a new war in the Middle East

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

Weapons of mass destruction… again? It’s Iraq 2.0?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Literally this happens when you get rolled @schumer.senate.gov

Medicaid covers...

-40% of births nationwide
-50% of kids with special needs

Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.

Senate report outlines 'grave' Russian threat in 2016 election probe The Senate Intelligence Committee released its final report on Russian interference in the 2016 elections, detailing ties with the Trump campaign.

It would be interesting if some brave journalists would ask Marco Rubio weather he stands by his 2020 SSCI report co-authored with Mark Warner on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election rollcall.com/2020/08/18/s...

Zelensky has thanked the United States on numerous occasions since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022 – expressing gratitude to Trump and Biden, to members of Congress from both parties, to US defense companies and their employees, and to the American people.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.

The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

If the IRS were forced to disclose taxpayer information in violation of Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, it would set a dangerous precedent that could, in theory, be used to justify the release of anyone’s tax records—including those of high-profile individuals like Musk and Trump.

Opinion | This Never Happened With an American President Before Trump’s behavior in the Oval Office with Zelensky was an unparalleled break with American foreign policy.

Sticker of Donald Trump with an "I DID THAT!" speech bubble, pointing towards the price tag for a carton of eggs in a grocery store. The price of eggs shown is $10.49.

Spotted in Wisconsin. $10.49 for eggs.

Prices keep going up and Donald Trump isn’t doing a damn thing about it!

“See you in court” -Maine Gov Janet Mills to Trump (to his face, with the cameras rolling)

Love it. This resistence is building. Dress down this clown. Bullies hate that 🤡

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well.

His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel.

Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

U.S. weighs destroying $500 million in stockpiled covid tests The government is reviewing proposals to shut down the program that ships free covid tests to American households and has been considering destroying 160 million tests.

The Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans.

Court decision allows DOGE to continue accessing student data A federal district judge has refused to issue a temporary restraining order to stop the U.S. DOGE Service from accessing student data at the Education Department.

A federal district judge on Monday refused to issue a temporary restraining order blocking employees of billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service from accessing student data at the Department of Education, saying there was no immediate threat in allowing it.

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

Now they want to make it even harder to vote. Married women who took their husband's name would have issues because it wouldn't match their birth certificate! How far back are we going????

We will always stand up for public education, teachers, students, and their future. ✊

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

@raskin.house.gov: "This is a coup, which is a seizure of state power by unelected actors... In addition to everything that Trump is doing to dismantle every part of gov’t that doesn't profit him personally, we have this additional problem of Elon Musk trying to consolidate state power under him."

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.
