It’s easy to imagine someone who raped more children than we know about launching an illegal war to keep it hidden.

"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran.
Months ago, we bombed Iran
& "obliterated" their nuke capabilities.
And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran
bc of their nuke capabilities."

Trump & Vance are now persecuting Minnesota even further by cutting Healthcare funding.

Opinion | Tariffs were illegal. The delayed refunds are wrong. The government said small business would be made whole. It’s time to pay up.

In latest voting lie, Trump says Dem voters get β€˜seven ballots’ as he pushes mail voting ban As is typical, Trump provided no credible evidence that any voters routinely receive multiple ballots.

NEW: President Donald Trump repeated false claims that Democrats β€œcheated” in the last election and escalated his push for national anti-voting policies, including a ban on mail-in voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Pollster: This is the weakest that Donald Trump has ever been with independents. Look at this drop. -47 points among independents. Donald Trump is near record lows overall.

Well deserved! Make it harder for him by electing Democrats EVERY time!

Portland Public Schools’ initiative to support Black students is the latest Oregon target of Trump administration Title VI was originally developed as a mechanism to counteract long-standing inequities in U.S. schools. That’s also the goal of the targeted PPS project in North Portland.

Portland Public Schools is under a federal civil rights investigation for moving forward on a voter-approved effort to better support the district’s historically marginalized Black students.

Is your music available on any other platforms than Spotify? Like Tidal or Qobuz? I canceled Spotify for not paying musicians well and only having low res streaming

After leaving WHO, Trump officials propose more expensive replacement to duplicate it HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.

Gift article. Trump pulled the USA out of the World Health Organazation and now wants to spend a ton of money to replace it. This sure ain't a "Winning" strategy.
