They simply say it didn’t happen.

The GOP continues to treat accountability like an inconvenience, but democracy only works when the rules apply to everyone—including those at the top. @RepRaskin served a #CupOfJoe with a latte truth to power! #DemsUnited

BREAKING: JD Vance has no idea what he's talking about in North Carolina just now: "Joe Biden left us in a terrible situation. The reason why gas prices are where they are today is because of Donald Trump’s work." Note: Gas was $2.99 a gallon when Biden left office Gas is $3.65 and rising now.

New: @brianbeutler is using FOIA to try to force the DOJ to produce FBI Epstein records that they’re still withholding in defiance of the EFTA — or at least to force accountability and transparency for defying that law offmessage.net/p/foia-trump-e…

The Trump Administration is letting the meat processing industry exploit its workers—and is making the food you eat less safe.

All military members have an easy case proving this is an illegal operation. Don’t give your life for old white men and their love of power and money. This has always been about distracting from the files.

Trump is so far out of his depth that even he can’t lie his way out of this one. His stupidity and hubris has led him down a path from which there is now no return. Take a listen to this clip featuring Lawrence Wilkerson, retired US Army Colonel and former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. Wilkerson has been around the block a few times and has some bitter experience of these kinds of misadventures. The obvious question in this moment is what represents a road too far? Well I’m afraid Trump is on it wearing a new pair of his golden sneakers, he’s opened up a Pandora’s box and it’s full of geopolitical vipers. In his tiny little mind he’s said to himself, ‘I have the biggest most powerful army on the planet and Iran will comply or die,’ without a thought to the consequences. He saw opportunity for self-enrichment and bet his presidency and the Republican Party’s future on it. He always likes to say ‘in the good ole days’ when referring to wanting to make America great. In his mind, segregation and women knowing their place is his kind of golden age in which old grey white men set the rules and everyone falls into line. Times have changed, the age of gunboat diplomacy are dead I’m afraid. The very nature of war has changed. The writing has been on the wall since the Vietnam war, A conflict in which for the first time at scale, the US faced an insurgent enemy who melted into the population and then waged a relentless war of opportunity. A war where shock and awe plays no part, yet the U.S. appears to have learned nothing. Iran has 93 million people who have lived in a theocratic dictatorship for almost half a century. Trump decided to make this a holy war because he felt it was easier to sell. In his eyes, everybody hates Muslims right?. In his mind, America is now a reborn white Christian nation ready to fight a holy crusade against the evil Islamists. Mixing political power and religion has long been the holy grail of Western dictators. They believe they are doing the Lord’s work by eradicating the people that don’t worship their God. This religious fervour blinds the perpetrator to the truth that war rarely delivers the power those prosecuting it seek. Trump has followed Putin’s ‘Special Military Operation’ roadmap almost to the letter, but without the ground forces. He made the same assumption that victory could be had in weeks. As a result, he’s facing the same challenges Putin faced, a population that will never give up, they are forced to adapt to meet the challenges from a traditional large military adversary. Iran could never resist the overwhelming power of the US Air Force. They knew that, so while Trump brags about destroying air defences and the Iranian Navy, all indications to an idiot like Trump that he’s winning. The truth is, there was no real intention from Iran to fight this war on America’s terms. The Iranian leadership knows this is midterms year, Trump is spending a billion dollars a day to prosecute a war. They believe they can stretch out as long as is required. In their minds, they just have to wait him out. They don’t care how many civilians get killed because every civilian and child death is not only a recruitment Ad for the upcoming insurgency, it also paints the US as a monster on the world stage. Iran has a stock of millions of sacrificial lambs to expend on a war of attrition. They know this can’t be won from the air, and the US for all its power and might don’t have enough troops to win a war on the ground. The country is massive, the terrain is challenging and the Iranians are fighting in their own backyard. I have said it many times, the US has never won a war on its own EVER. Yet Trump’s malignant narcissism leads him to believe it will be different for him. He’s wrong, his dreams of empire are about to go up in flames and he’s going to take the American economy with him. It’s the definition of insanity. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRHhUDuA/

Again, we ask: Why? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

They’ll ban birth control pills but not condoms. They’ll criminalize abortion but not Viagra. They’ll strip women of autonomy while protecting men’s pleasure. If it were about life, we’d see universal healthcare, paid family leave, affordable childcare, and mental health support. But it’s not. It’s about power. It’s about keeping women and marginalized people under control.

Trump's net worth has jumped $3-4 billion during his presidency. Meanwhile, many American families can't pay their bills because of his bad decisions. Public office is for serving the people, not yourself.

Noticing a suspicious lack of coverage in the sex trafficking conviction of the Alexander brothers. They’re friends with Jared and Ivanka Trump and were allegedly raping girls at Epstein Island. Why isn’t this everywhere? Can you imagine if say someone connected to Mamdani did this? Seems a little more important than his wife’s Instagram likes.

"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter" "We're signing a health care plan within two weeks" "They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours" Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.

Trump lives in an echo chamber where he only hears what he wants to hear…

Chris Christie, recalling a dinner with Trump where he repeated the exact same ideology that Joseph Goebbels espoused. 😳👇

True

@allenanalysis @PendleWitch_ Save Act is the "Elite Voters Act. Every single American, including the poor, should be allowed to vote without big hurdles being erected. Has the GOP agreed to zero-cost passports and set up hundreds of passport offices to make it easy for people to obtain? Didn't think so.
