Russia isn’t winning. They’re burning through men, tanks older than your dad, and begging North Korea for troops. That’s not strength—it’s desperation. We didn’t let them win the Cold War, and we won’t let them fake a win now.

Another whopper flowing from Trump’s never-ending supply of lies.

Update: the Trump administration has proposed cutting the National Park System by $900 million, about one third of its budget.
Please read/share if you love your national parks!
New from @pamherd.bsky.social & me: A DOGEr is now running the National Park Service.
They were already short of employees to manage record crowds. DOGE has cut 13% and wants to cut 30%.

The Trump administration has halted $1 billion in funding for mental health services for children, claiming that the programs, which were established under a bipartisan law aimed at curbing gun violence in schools, are no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.
I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

But when the Trump administration laid off thousands of employees on Tuesday, the targets included the very people who communicated the health department’s work to Americans.

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy.
These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do.

Stop trying to place coherence on a policy that’s really just a mob boss breaking legs and asking for protection money.

I just went to my bank's local branch and asked about how my data would be protected from the breach. This is one way to spread the news to people legitimately and just be calm and informative. I told them to google "Elon Musk treasury access."
