I no longer subscribe to the Wapo but this headline is enough to confirm what I have known all along.

Opinion | A sickening moral slum of an administration
Regarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.

So I asked some Trump supporters what they thought about the Trump administration is allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. I got only silence.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

My uncles were in an ANTIFA group in the 1940s. It was called the United States Army. They fought in World War II. They would turn in their grave to witness what this country is becoming.

This was back before JD Vance sold out completely.
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.”

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military
If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

Gavin Newsom reenacted Trump's cabinet meeting at it's hilarious, including a simplified MAGA level "presidential" English. 🤣

In any other timeline, a dog-eating, bear-dumping, whale-chainsawing, sexual-assaulting, brain-wormed moron like RFK Jr, a man with no medical degree who swears he can diagnose kids just by looking at them...would exist only as an Onion headline.

Trump couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag, much less find a way to reach a peace agreement & stop Putin from bombing Ukraine off the map.

This should be a non-stop media campaign for the next three years. Stop running solely against Trump; he won't be on the ballot. Explain over and over again why unless you're a billionaire, Democrats are *always* better for your personal financial situation. The evidence is abundant. 🧵1/x
Democrats should have a full-time marketing team, that includes an economist whose #1 job it is to make sure everyone knows the economy does vastly better under Democrats. It should report to a party leadership committee with authority to speak for the party.

A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship.
Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Georgia is about to cancel 477,000+ voter registrations this week — one of the largest purges in U.S. history. Black voters will be hit hardest, making up 32% of GA’s electorate. Even if you think you’re safe, you could be on the list if you moved, missed mail, or skipped the last 2 elections.
