Ukraine is hitting back harder than ever, as its military pushes Russia out of key regions and puts Moscow's most significant targets in range--all while Russian gas prices skyrocket to a staggering $25 a gallon, deepening Putin's crisis. At the same t... Winter is Coming

Putin got everything he wanted and more. Trump just got humiliated. Listen to Rick break down the breakup heard 'round the world this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ILAMub1-y8

MAGA have been dismissing reports on inflation for months, saying it must be a Democrat hoax. Even FOX are saying inflation is bad now - are they part of a Democrat hoax too?

This is what the weaponization of prosecutors' offices looks like under an authoritarian regime. Facts - even the very most important one - do not matter.

All that matters to them is if you oppose the authoritarian reign.

Republicans alone will be responsible for those looming mass layoffs, so we’re paying them back.

We’re pledging to spend 2026 making sure these 26 MAGA GOP representatives lose THEIR jobs next fall. See any names we missed? Let us know here: https://action.lincolnproject.us/26for26

China weaponizes ag imports to target Trump and US farmers China’s freeze on U.S. soybean purchases hits a key GOP constituency in the run-up to 2026 midterm elections

China has not bought a single soybean from the U.S. in over 3 months, thanks to Trump's disastrous tariffs.

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

"Power only exists when you use it." Our own Rick Wilson has a message for Democrat leadership on MSNBC:

Take your own advice, Kash. Release the Epstein files.

President Trump tells us exactly who is responsible for the shutdown, and we couldn't agree more.

She told America. We told America. Now, it's here.

Trump is terrified of truth because authoritarianism doesn't work when people see what's really happening. MSNBC's Antonia Hylton and The Bulwark's Charlie Sykes join the pod to explain how our civil rights history and media are being smothered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjIeBWt6lEw

White Flag Democrats Schumer and Jeffries Are About To Blow The Shutdown Fight

Democratic leaders think making a deal is the 'right' thing to do, but it's a deal with the devil. They're walking right into a trap. Read Rick Wilson's piece here: https://open.substack.com/pub/therickwilson/p/white-flag-democrats?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

There it is. Trump just confirmed he'll be cutting benefits for hardworking Americans after he shuts down the government.

Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) is prepared to cave on negotiations to prevent a government shutdown. This cowardly move would allow Republicans to avoid the shame of a shutdown while ripping healthcare away from millions.

Call Schumer’s Office and tell him to vote NO: (202) 224-6542

Thinking about this piece from 2024 today...

The Comey case is only the latest abuse of power by Trump’s DOJ, and there will certainly be more to come. Rick Wilson prepares us for what’s ahead on MSNBC:

Generational Freudian slip

Trump is still dangerous, but he’s never been more vulnerable. Rick Wilson illustrates the current political battlefield, and how we win that battle, on MSNBC:

Trump’s Argentina bailout sparks fury among farmers, Republicans The proposal to provide Argentina billions in financial support has drawn scrutiny from farmers and their Congressional allies.

Millions of Americans’ healthcare and pay checks are left in limbo today because of the GOP’s fealty to Trump. But hey, at least Trump is making sure Argentina gets paid (with your tax dollars). https://www.newsweek.com/trumps-argentina-bailout-sparks-fury-among-farmers-republicans-10809559

ICE are not making our streets safer. Trump is not reducing crime. American citizens are being violently targeted by federally-directed agents and we should not act like this is just another presidency.

In his own district, Eli Crane is allowing rural hospitals to be crippled while over 50,000 of his constituents lose healthcare. And somehow he still found time to help hide the Epstein files. For the good of Arizona, Eli Crane cannot remain in Congress.

Juan Ciscomani is complicit in this shutdown and in the legislative disaster Republicans have created. Veterans will lose jobs, money, and healthcare. He is screwing over his own voters, and he needs to be voted out.

The last 3 shutdowns were all under Trump/GOP control. The GOP can’t govern, and America knows it.

No Dollars for Dictatorship Americans must stand against Trump’s shutdown agenda.

"Trump wanted this shutdown. This isn’t speculation — it’s strategy... Russ Vought, has openly embraced using a shutdown to permanently fire tens if not hundreds of thousands of public servants". Read @joetrippi.bsky.social on why this shutdown is different: www.lincolnsquare.media/p/no-dollars...

Rob Wittman spent the night of the shutdown eating steak with his rich donors. Meanwhile, the shutdown he and the GOP caused means soldiers and federal workers in his district will struggle to feed their families. Call his office at (202) 225-4261 and ask why.

Trump and Pete Kegsbreath treated a military speech like showtime at the Apollo - and they BOMBED. Rick and Maya break down their flop address tonight at 7 PM EST: https://youtu.be/8AgZbRPnYDI

Wittman holds fundraiser as the government shutdown looms Rep. Rob Wittman, R-VA01, was confronted in Washington on Tuesday for holding a fundraiser hours before the government shutdown. He was confronted on video outside of the fundraiser.

While he lets the thousands of soldiers and federal workers in his district go without pay, Rob Wittman ate $90 steak with wealthy donors. Republicans don't care about you. https://www.virginiascope.com/wittman-holds-fundraiser-as-the-government-shutdown-looms/
