Trump has launched an unjustified regime-change war w/out seeking the required congressional approval for the use of force. This is illegal, & another demonstration of this administration’s disregard for the Constitution & the separation of powers in our democratic system.

Marco Rubio, standing next to the old, sick and senile Trump, says Cuba’s issue is it’s run by senile, elderly men…

Look to your left, Marco 🙄🤣

FLASHBACK—Trump in 2023: When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil.

JUST IN: Trump says the U.S. will “run” Venezuela for now, until a “proper transition” can take place

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

If you told me back in medical school that someday I would be running for the Senate and my campaign slogan would be “It’s me or the measles” I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT HAVE BELIEVED YOU.

But here we are. It’s me or the measles. South Carolina, the choice is yours. 💙🇺🇸

Later this year, we’re going to take the House, the Senate, governorships, and state legislatures all over the country.

And we’re going to build the largest midterm margins against the incumbent party that this country has ever seen.

Let’s get to work. 👇

When Trump returned to power, some people questioned whether the resistance was dead or his agenda would be met with defiance and backlash.

Thank you for proving them wrong.

Voters are increasingly applying a new standard to Democratic leaders—one that asks who has the backbone to confront Trump’s abuses and fight for real structural change. Strength and principle are what the moment demands.

In sum, despite all the obvious lying, if this piece is meant to dispel concerns about Trump's health, it actually does the opposite. This is not a guy who is taking care of himself at 79 years old. (6/6)

Finally, Trump's diet! Oh my god. The piece closes with RNC Chair Joe Gruters saying he was "shocked" to witness Trump eat "french fries, a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger, a Big Mac and a Filet-O-Fish" in one sitting (5/6)

Donald Trump is breaking our Social Security system. Seniors, people with disabilities, and families are paying the price.

DOGE cut 7000 jobs at the Social Security Admin and closed 50 field offices, and now they’re struggling to respond to up to 6 million pending cases in its processing centers and 12 million transactions in its field offices.

Now they’ll say it’s broken and must be privatized.

They are truly heroes who deserve our support
