I will not concede that Ukraine should give up ANY territory to Russian invaders, particularly when Ukraine is so obviously winning, and Russia is reduced to terror attacks that murder civilians. Remember the punditocracy on Ukraine having “weeks” to survive?

Punchline from UK: “climate change-driven flooding … has the potential to trigger a destructive shock to the housing market that could ripple across the wider economy.” Time to wake up?
Even with their own corrupt fossil fuel stooges in key Trump positions, the market just doesn’t support this rotten program. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
The unthinkable has happened. DOJ lawyers in RI are under federal judicial scrutiny for misconduct, and the longstanding “presumption of regularity” is lost.

Pulte has no business at DNI, interim, temporary, part-time or otherwise. Period.
Bad enough to weaponize Americans’ banking data; give him intelligence data and the damage to our Intelligence Community’s reputation will be profound.

Democracy is the house that we all live in.
Donald Trump and his Supreme Court are setting that house on fire.
Reposted bySenator Sheldon Whitehouse
Republicans rammed through another partisan bill that does nothing to lower costs for Americans. They're giving billions of dollars to ICE and CBP without a single cent to make health care, energy or food more affordable. Republicans clearly have their priorities backwards.
Punchline: “Every ground line of communication leading into Crimea, or going west into western Zaporizhzhia Oblast and occupied Kherson Oblast, is under Ukrainian fire control.”
Blanche acts as Trump’s personal attorney and political henchman, but the Attorney General’s client is supposed to be the American people.
He will never understand that.
Trump intends to damage the rule of law, to protect his massive corruption, and Blanche is his hatchet man.
... pursuing illegal U.S. Attorney appointments, having courts regularly throw out indictments and grand juries return "no bills," and costing the Department its customary "presumption of regularity."
He is a walking disgrace.
Todd Blanche was behind the Epstein Files cover-up, the rotten cop-beaters slush fund, and a sleazy tax fraud amnesty for the Trump family and businesses; all while causing an unprecedented "fraud on the court" investigation of the Department... 🧵
This guy stinks!

This latest attempt to impose sweeping tariffs on many of our trading partners is just another effort to raise costs on the American people, who are already paying more for everyday essentials as a result of the President’s war in Iran.

On behalf of every family touched by pancreatic cancer, I am thrilled.
My Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act years ago laid a foundation for this breakthrough. As a result, patients today have new hope.

We want to pass permitting reform in the Senate. But the Administration’s clean energy obstruction must end.

As Trump wages war on our elections:
@democrats.senate.gov's Election Protection Task Force is gearing up with lawyers and response teams the moment he tries to interfere.
The GOP is already ignoring your bills, wages, health care, and freedom—we won’t let them ignore your vote too.

Americans can't "sit back and relax" when gas prices are through the roof.
This war has made prices at the pump and the grocery store unbearable for millions of Americans.
Trump's cavalier attitude is breathtaking.
