At this point, all illusions that Trump’s America would help Ukraine have dissolved. But most people don’t realize how deeply the current administration is steeped in pro-Russian sentiment & activities.

Here’s a quick look. Trump administration & their pro-Russia or anti-Ukraine positions:

This isn’t efficiency or modernization. This is the dismantling of a 120-year-old agency done illegally, done deliberately, and done fast enough that most people won’t notice until it’s too late.

The Forest Service just told Congress to go pound sand. Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz appeared before the House Appropriations Committee this week and made it clear the agency is moving forward with

Trump just posted threatening to knock out every power plant and every bridge in Iran if they don’t take his deal. He called it “the Iran Killing Machine.” Targeting civilian infrastructure isn’t negotiation it’s a war crime threat, posted publicly on social media like it’s nothing.

Masterful.

I’ve consistently spoken out against whistleblowers who follow the correct process being targeted.

I don’t care what political party is doing the targeting. It’s dangerous, and it has to stop. Whistleblower protections exist for a reason.

It’s frustrating, but not unexpected, that the administration has continued to downplay China and Russia’s involvement in helping Iran target US troops.

If/when this ceasefire fails, I would expect to see a big initial strike from Iran - they’ve had plenty of time to plan.

Disgusting.

This is why mass pardoning people for politics is never a good idea.

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.

Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?

A lot of you reached out asking if Brian Morales made it back yet he hasn’t. The 25-year-old Denver-born U.S. citizen is still stuck in Mexico. DHS is disputing his account, claiming their records show he isn’t a citizen he absolutely is. Several groups are actively fighting for his return.

That’s one of my biggest concerns. I don’t *think* he will opt for nuclear weapons, but I also know there are no guardrails like there were last time, flimsy as they were.

I’m confident that Hegseth wouldn’t even try to push back on a nuclear strike.

This is why we shouldn’t elect insane people.

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

These people are just pretending like Pakistan (the mediators) didn’t announce the same conditions as the Supreme National Security Council of Iran.

It’s dishonest nonsense.

Trump still hasn’t announced the “real” deal because he doesn’t want us to see he’s getting fleeced.

There is no such thing as birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.

If you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. That's what the Constitution clearly states.

And, as usual, Republicans want to ignore the Constitution.

Ah, yes

TL;DR: we killed a bunch of people and blew up a bunch of stuff, all to end up in a worse position than we were in with Obama’s nuclear deal. (4/4)

If the ceasefire holds (big if), the fairest way to “score” the war in Iran:

- clear operational successes. Large number of IRGC killed, Iranian Navy largely destroyed, etc.

- a massive tactical failure. 1/4

1. Americans shouldn’t root for the US to lose. It’s like rooting for your plane to crash.

2. People shouldn’t celebrate returning to worse than the status quo like it’s an accomplishment. It’s like losing steak for a shit sandwich.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

4 shipped made it through the Strait of Hormuz today.

Iran still controls their uranium and over half their ballistic missiles.

But hey, at least a bunch of Trump’s close friends made bank making anonymous bets on Polymarket!

Thanks for reminding us

I am super geeking out over these new Artemis photos.

The “Earthrise” is crazy.

Flat earthers are in shambles.

Soon to be appearing in midterm political ads for Democratic candidates nationwide. Thanks, Darnold. 🙏

Bingo!

Trump keeps disappearing at the first of the month.

Will he come back with a new giant bruise on his hand?

Over 200,000 people could lose MassHealth under coming federal changes, report says - The Boston Globe Massachusetts stands to lose a larger proportion of its Medicaid rolls than any other state.

Donald Trump did this:

Iran has been preparing for this eventuality for a long time. Their bunkers are well-built.

That’s one of the reasons we’ve always tried to avoid the military option, and it’s the main reason Hegseth telling Trump how easy this would be was so egregious.

Here’s the latest Wall Street play.

Step 1: Promote a new shadowy financial product.

Step 2: Lobby the Trump Admin to roll back safeguards and shove private credit into Americans’ 401(k)s.

Step 3: When it goes south, get out fast while leaving families holding the bag.

We need your help.

The Trump administration is dismantling the U.S. Forest Service. 193 million acres of public land (bigger than Texas) is being handed over to political operatives and industry insiders.

Pete Hegseth sent U.S. troops to fight and die in Iran. Was he trying to cash in on the war behind closed doors?

This would be a massive betrayal.

I’m pressing for a full investigation NOW.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
