The US is down at least $30 billion in tourism for 2025. International boycotts and a loss in appeal to visit due to Donald Trump has resulted in millions of trips canceled.

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

Bookmark this for the investigations to come: the Trump team’s boat bombings trace back to at least 2018. That’s when White House officials asked me & others about whether they could do something like this.

We said it was illegal then. Now they’ve done it anyway.

“‼️The USA has handed over another document with security guarantees to Ukraine, which states:

▪️ If russia launches another offensive, the US president will have the right to deploy American troops and intelligence;”
So, Trump personally gets to make the decision if any action is taken, not only on behalf of the US but also for France, Britain, Germany, Poland, and Finland?

Sounds more like a guarantee to Ukraine of no security.

A way for the Putin-Trump regimes to ensure Europe won't help Ukraine next time.

It’s been 44 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her congressional race.

Mike Johnson knows she’ll be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files so he’s done everything he can to prevent her from taking office.

Speaker Johnson, do your job and swear her in.

"The goal of conducting a fast-tracked nuclear test can only be political, not scientific. ... It would give Russia, China and other nuclear powers free rein to restart their own nuclear testing programs, essentially without political and economic fallout.”
