Why is Donald Trump holding rallies if it’s supposedly too dangerous for him to be out in public? Wasn’t that why he said he needed a ballroom?

Is this in the armored ballroom or was it never about that?

@chiproytx elementary school kids in Texas can speak more than one language

I can only imagine that many of the people involved in you being a "cancer survivor" spoke more than one language in their youth

A monarch butterfly (Illinois’ state insect) perches on a pesticide-damaged white oak (Illinois’ state tree).
Oaks are keystone species: critical hosts for hundreds of moth and butterfly caterpillars and a foundational food source for native wildlife.

The pesticide debate gets stuck on human cancer risk. But widespread pesticide use and drift are silently degrading the nutritional quality of every wild plant and seed that birds and wildlife depend on.

We did not cancel elections during the Civil War.
We did not cancel elections for World War II.
We did not cancel elections for COVID.
But the Louisiana Governor sees the opportunity to gerrymander Black members out of their seats and…
STATE OF EMERGENCY: ELECTION CANCELLED

REMINDER: white Republicans SPECIFICALLY drew this map in 2024 so that it WOULD be declared racist and redrawn. The Supreme Court and activists suggested much more fair maps (6 in total) that could show 2 majority Black districts
I live in Louisiana. Ive seen the fight up close for years.

If you hear any of your Democrat friends whining about the Supreme Court decision re: the Voting Rights Act, ask them how the map in question meets the basic legal requirements of “reasonable configuration” as to “compactness, contiguity and natural geography.” Ask them.⚖️

This is categorically false. Not merely a stretch, but a straight-up lie.
Congress (not Biden alone) appropriated roughly $188 billion total for Ukraine-related support from 2022–2024. NOT $350 billion.
Of that, the bulk (~$110–130B in security/military categories) stayed right here in the U.S., paying American defense contractors & replenishing our own stockpiles.
Actual direct financial ("cash") support to Ukraine was roughly $31–38B. Those funds were tracked by the World Bank and were audited by firms like KPMG & Deloitte. We were not writing blank checks.
It's extremely frustrating to watch this President demonize an ally while downplaying Putin as the aggressor. This administration has ended new U.S. financial/military support for Ukraine (they can buy via the EU if needed). Combined with eased sanctions on Russia and the President's moral ambiguity on the war, it is just a complete betrayal that I will never, ever understand.
Polls show that the vast majority of Americans are very much clear eyed about this — we support Ukraine and we sympathize with Ukraine. Our President does not reflect that majority view.

Trump: "Biden gave 350 billion dollars for Ukraine, which was insane. It's one of the reasons why the war went on."

Renée Good was murdered by a federal agent.
Reassigning Jonathan Ross is not accountability.
If he’s in New York, he must be removed immediately.

why would anyone spend millions of dollars to build a factory in the US and train US workers when tariff policies can be changed on a whim by a compliment or an insult? you either shape your tariff regime around certain industrial goals or you're wasting everyone's time and money

How is this being treated as normal?
A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel an ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Obama probably deserves more blame for ruining American racial relations than any living person.
This post, in which he calls it racist to not have black votes count for more than white votes, is a perfect example of why.
Barack Obama@BarackObama
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Something a lot of people don't see. Trump thinks US troops in Germany are there to protect Germany. They're not.
They're there because the US needs the bases to be able to carry out US operations beyond the north American continent.
Trump doesn't understand this basic fact.

The continued attacks on NATO allies are counterproductive. The comments hurt Americans. I commanded the huge Ramstein AB in Germany. The two big airfields in Germany give us great access in three continents. We are shooting ourselves in our own feet.
