Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

This vote highlights the need for DC statehood. No other jurisdictions have to worry about their local laws rewritten by Congress. That is only possible because DC is not a state. It is un-American and wrong, and moments like this just fuel the fire for #DCStatehood

CNN, NYT, AP, and other media orgs literally have interviewed families of people killed in Caribbean boat strikes, including some who say they were just fishermen.
Lies nested within lies, all in service of violating the laws of armed combat, for no evident national interest advancement at all.

Cotton on Trump's boat strikes: "Use common sense. If any of these had been boats full of fisherman or refugees, CNN would've already been on the ground & interviewed all their families & told their stories. We can be confident all of these strikes have been against cartel-based drug traffickers."

Trump is a bit of a perfect storm figure. A 1000 yr flood. The party was smarting over the ‘12 loss, populism rising with anger over R failures of the 2000’s, R voters wanting an asshole, and of course, Trump’s ability to exploit voters as suckers. None of which is to say things were good pre-Trump.
