@McFaul While the US stepped away, Ukraine has been developing a drone and robotics industry in alliance with other countries that has been very effective on the battlefield and at destroying Russian industry. This is just one manifestation of the decline in US power they have caused.

I disagree. The Trump administration to stop helping Ukraine will go down in history a giant strategy mistake and a major sign of Americas decline as the leader of the free world. (Hope it gets reversed)

@atrupar Another stupid GOP bot - throw him out.

Chris Wright: "Yes, we have gas prices today over $4 a gallon. Still a dollar less than they were in the Biden administration, and we're ending the 47 year conflict with Iran. It does mean higher prices today. It probably means higher prices for a few more weeks. But I'm proud of President Trump."

I've seen firsthand the chaos inside Donald Trump's administration. And I've seen firsthand how his extreme plans are hurting Virginia's families. I won't sit by any longer. So today, I'm launching my campaign for Congress. I'm going to fight like hell to undo the harm that Donald Trump has done to hardworking Americans – but I can't do it alone. RT if you’re with me.

These Holocaust survivors lost nearly everyone they loved—just because they were Jewish. It's not a conspiracy. There is no debate. Reply with a candle to show you will remember. 🕯️

@allenanalysis Every political position in this administration is filled with an amateur from the top down. Their Iranian counterparts are running rings around these rubes. All the military equipment in the world doesn't make up for stupidity.

JD Vance just called Iran’s Strait of Hormuz tolls “economic terrorism against the entire world.” Then said: “Two can play at that game.” Read that again. The Vice President of the United States just described America’s own blockade as playing the same game as economic terrorism. He said it out loud. On camera.

Denis Villeneuve, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Cranston, Mark Ruffalo and over 1,000 other major Hollywood names have signed an open letter against the Warner Bros merger with Paramount. The letter warns that the deal will result in fewer jobs for creatives, higher costs and less choice for audiences.

@LakotaMan1 @jnewutoo It seems so obvious.

Absolutely

@lipacraves Thank you! I needed some perfection today

@conservmillen You're a fool.

I do believe that he didn’t think of this as a depiction of Jesus when posting. Still, there has to be more care and discernment here.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact). And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. 😡😡😡✅

@fellaraktar @MalcolmNance Thank you for the encouragement. What a nightmare this has been.

Thank you America. You went first. You showed the rest of us that right wing populists are full of shit, achieve nothing and will drag nations into the abyss. Your example might have saved Europe from a dangerous shift. Good luck in November, my friends! 🫡 You got this.

We seriously have to kick Donald out of office… NOW

@FoxBrambleFarm Now they know that loyalty only goes in one direction for Trump.

An interesting local development. As some of you know, I live in a very, very MAGA red town. These people are Trump's most loyal base. This town's biggest industry is a marble quarry that has produced a lot of the marble used in DC monuments. The locals are absolutely shocked that Trump is importing Italian marble for his vanity arch instead of supporting American sources. The local Facebook pages are full of people expressing their outrage. It's the first time I've ever seen anybody express anger at Trump and actually had the sentiment echoed instead of shouted down.

@TVietor08 He has to be fuming that Leo is so much more popular than he is. That makes my day.

He’s truly lost it

@ArtCandee I'm done with Guy. Too bad.

Oh. Guy Fieri was hamming it up with Andrew and Tristan Tate at UFC last night? He can get bent too.

@ElxMapping He was ill-prepared to be a VP from the start, particularly for someone he knew would be an incompetent, malicious president. No sympathy.

visits the pope → pope dies leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide Man’s got a streak.

BREAKING: In defiance of Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, voters in Hungary today will vote against Orban’s authoritarianism. Today’s the day Orban’s reign ends. This is being almost entirely ignored by mainstream media. Let’s make it go viral.

@HadleySheley @atrupar It doesn't matter if this president is working or not - everything he touches turns to s**t.

@atrupar FFS. What is even happening here? We have failed negotiations with Iran, now a Navy blockade with no end to this conflict or lowering gas and oil prices insight- Yet the President of the United States is using his time to post random AI slop of Bruce Springsteen.

a message from the president

@owen_hues @HadleySheley @atrupar Even at UFC? 🤣🤣🤣

@HadleySheley @atrupar he's mad he got bood at UFC
