Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Convicted felon Donald Trump is parroting Kremlin propaganda, blaming Ukraine for its own invasion while downplaying Russia’s brutality. His rants aren’t just dangerous—they’re music to Putin’s ears. MAGA’s leader is openly siding with an enemy while undermining allies.

Given this memo ordering USAID employees not to talk to the press, let's also recall that Trump fired USAID's IG for revealing that the freezes put $500 million in food aid at risk of spoiling.
Dem strategists warning against talking about this are being ridiculous.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?
