Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history.

We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump.

For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard:

World leaders: stand up to Trump, starting *now*
Donald Trump is a bully. And like any bully…we need to stand up to him. If we don’t, our international world order is in danger. He’s already threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Can

Our relationship with our neighbors and close allies matter. Trump seems intent on screwing them up before he even takes office. Here's the literal illustration of why we can't let that happen--when your house is on fire, sometimes you need your neighbor's help to put it out.
While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

Biondi was the AG who was to decide if Trump was to be Prosecuted for his illegal Stunt with Trump University. Everything he promised about Trump University was Fraudulent, it would take pages. Donald made a large donation to Biondis' re-election Campaign and 'Poof' like Magic Trumps troubles-gone!

“Adair, IA, had a population of 794. So it seemed suspicious when its three-person police dept asked regulators to buy 90 machine guns.

Federal agents later discovered Adair's police chief…was using his position to acquire weapons and sell them for personal profit.” www.cbsnews.com/news/police-...
Police illegally sell restricted weapons, supplying crime
These high-powered weapons are only meant for police. How are they ending up in criminals' hands?

It's a problem that Trump's post-election transition process has been a chaotic mess.

It's a bigger problem that he apparently hasn't noticed. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Whatever the outcome, I wish everyone would drop any pretense that Pete Hegseth is fitting to lead our military men and women. They deserve so much better.

I think we all know...
Here's a curious one: As recently as Tuesday, Lindsey Graham told journalists that the recent reporting on Hegseth has been “very disturbing,” adding that the allegations will be “difficult” to overcome.

One day later, he brushed off the allegations.

What changed between Tuesday and Wednesday?
Graham: The allegations against Hegseth are all anonymous sources. I’m not going to make any decision based on an anonymous source. If you are not willing to raise your hand under oath to make the accusation, it doesn't count.

Before the war, 56,000 people in Gaza were registered as living with disabilities, according to the Palestinian Authority. Experts believe the conflict between Israel and Hamas has disabled thousands more. “Gaza wasn’t built for people like me before the war, but now it isn’t built at all for us.”
