Do me a favor and forward this post.This needs to get out to everyone. We need to be unified.
Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

Does someone literally have to die before these “outbursts” merit a banner headline? Or even then, will they counsel us not to be alarmed—to consider the context? These people are going to help contextualize us into dictatorship. trib.al/Rjb6eVu
President Wants Legislators Hanged, and It’s Not Even the Lead Story
Donald Trump says he’d like to see lawmakers tried and executed, and The New York Times and The Washington Post just don’t seem to think it’s that big a deal. Why?

The longer they take, the worse it's going to be for them. With all that's likely in the files about Trump, redactions are going to be obvious. There's just too much.
Trump needs to step down, just like Nixon. He won't. I want to see the pedophile put in handcuffs and escorted out of the WH.

This one doesn’t even claim to actually be able to stop states from passing laws. Just that they’ll “sue” states if they can find some way to claim the law violates existing federal laws. They’re gonna get laughed out of court. Again.

European and Ukrainian officials have rejected Donald Trump’s latest proposal for a lopsided peace deal that favors Moscow, warning that caving in to Russia will only encourage Vladimir Putin to attack NATO next.
Europe to Trump: Your Ukraine peace plan is no plan at all
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s ceasefire blueprint is a blow to dismayed Europeans who thought Trump finally understood that you can’t trust Putin.

No release... Fine. We'll just make up the narrative, because Vance says it's okay to make up information. "Whatever it takes."

The four-word message the BBC should send Trump about his $1bn lawsuit
The corporation must show it will not be cowed, unlike American broadcast media, and call the president’s bluff

Senators and reps, and even some of Trump's cabinet have 14- and 15-year-old kids/grandkids. This point needs to be made repeatedly, so every time someone says "Epstein" they see their own child's face.
