Good morning Ray. Hope surgery goes well and your recovery is speedy.
Take care!

Russia screams “disinformation” at the UN while burying its own dead.

Amb. Melnyk:

- 30–35K Russian troops lost every month. Recruitment failing.

Cash incentives no longer enough.

This is not strength.

It’s attrition masked as propaganda.

Ava urgently needs a famiy.

I’d like to see a Buttigieg AOC ticket in 2028. Either one will excel as President. I know it won’t happen. I’m not an idiot. I’d just like to see smart, energetic liberals in charge of our country.

Listen to Nancy Pelosi, Virginia: You have the absolute power to elect a Democratic Congress that will respect the people and hold Trump accountable. TOMORROW, April 21st, is Election Day—make your plan to vote YES! 6am–7pm.

#VoteYesVirginia

Trump Is dooming his party to a midterm blowout It's almost as though he wants Republicans to lose.

"Every Republican vote represents a voter saying 'I’m pretty happy with how things are going.' That anyone at all could say that right now is depressing, but Trump almost seems determined to make sure as few people as possible will say it in November." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

"If [Trump] can't be impeached and removed—I mean he is literally the nightmare that the framers of the Constitution had in mind—If members of Congress can't carry out that obligation, then what's the point to Article I? What's the point to the whole Constitution? We might as well just give up."

VIRGINIA IS FOR VOTERS: Bring someone you love with you to vote tomorrow.

Your kids deserve a future without an endless war in Iran that they can afford.

So we must take Congress away from Trump.

A YES vote ensures voters decide elections — not Trump.

Polls open 6a-7p tomorrow.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Trump just said: “Unfortunately, we will have to start dropping bombs again”…

He has no idea what he’s doing.

We’re watching Trump’s 7th bankruptcy unfold Trump's reelection missteps echo mistakes from his casino and hotel bankruptcies. Yet he always seems to get another chance.

Are six bankruptcies contagious?

Does the US need a "bankruptcy vaccination"?

Donald Trump ran 6 businesses that declared bankruptcy because they couldn’t pay their bills ... Trump is repeating ... the downfall..."

What do you think, and why?

Two weeks that pushed Trump to the edge. Is his presidency unravelling? The president has opened fissures in his base by starting a war he couldn’t finish with Iran, stoking inflation and offending Christians. Barred from running again, he may feel he has nothing to lose

🧵1/3
The aura is breaking. A president who promised no wars delivers one he can’t end; who vowed relief delivers rising costs; who courted faith now alienates it. The coalition that made him is no longer holding—it’s fracturing in plain sight. #TrumpCollapse #MAGAFracture

NPR receives $113 million in charitable gifts "My hope is that this commitment provides the stability and the spark NPR needs to innovate boldly and strengthen its national network," says Connie Ballmer, who gave $80 million of the $113 million.

📌NPR has received two of the largest gifts in the public media network's existence, totaling $113 million.

This is something called a "good news" story.

I'd die without NPR, I really would.

Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion.

Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

file the lawsuit, DISCOVERY will be so much fun...

Activists hold sign HE’S LYING

As a reminder, anything he says is likely to be a lie.
Tragically, the Iranian government statements regarding the blockade are much more likely to be accurate.
A terrible state for America to be in with an illegal unnecessary Trumpian war raging.
