Listen to every word of this, please.

The one thing missing: How do we stop it? @chrismurphyct.bsky.social ?
I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

We can debate each word he said, but I will leave you with this joke currently trending in Europe:

“In war between Russia and Ukraine, United States surrendered first.”

Trump and Putin
FM of Lithuania makes a very good point that I’ve been repeating for over a year: it’s not only about Ukraine, Putin is set to dismantle NATO.

Trump's entire gambit is to bully and harass and intimidate people into silence. But the elections last Tuesday, the huge No Kings turnout, and the packed rooms I saw in New Hampshire this week are proof that his plan is not working.

Destruction of the East Wing.

Destruction of the rule of law.

Destruction of health care, education, civil rights, voting rights, human rights, LGBTQ rights, women's rights.

Destruction of civility and morals.

Yeah, symbolic as hell.
Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

Secretary Kennedy has wrongly accused my fellow Democrats of being shills for Big Pharma. After his hearing today, I went down to the Senate Floor to offer a bill that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs.

Republicans blocked it.

This would take away my vote.
A new GOP bill would force nonmilitary overseas voters to prove they maintain a “current residence” in the U.S. with a verifiable mailing address.

If they cannot provide the proof, the individual cannot be treated as a state resident for voting purposes.

Pay attention.

Yes, I'm hitting this topic hard today, because it matters.
Yep, on Trump's threat to end mail voting, people are getting lost in the weeds, arguing he can't succeed. But the larger intent is the thing to watch: He's going to abuse presidential power in every way he possibly can to rig the midterms, and pull pretexts out of his ass to do so all the way.
“Trump’s rant clearly signals his intent to use presidential power in every conceivable way he can to swing the midterm elections against Democrats.”

@gregsargent.bsky.social warns about Trump’s clear intention to attack mail-in voting.

He wants to rig the midterms

Which is why I read Democracy Docket.
This is how the legacy media is reporting on Trump's unconstitutional attack on free and fair election versus how Democracy Docket is reporting on the same.

The House has voted to limit district court judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions.

Just one Republican, Mike Turner of Ohio, joined all Democrats in opposing the bill.

The legislation is a direct response to judges who have blocked certain Trump actions.
