In DC Dems & GOP alike are calling 4 Steve Witkoff removal after leaked transcripts reveal him actively trying to steer Trump into a peace deal that clearly favored Russia & completely sidelining Ukraine.
this reads less like loyalty to Trump and more like a puppet of Putin executing his playbook

Donald Trump didn’t come up with “Make America Great Again.” He stole it. From Reagan. He grabs whatever he wants without consent. Slogans, women, classified documents, elections, and countries. No original ideas, just a compulsive need to grab things that aren’t his. That’s his kink. Vlad knows.

Virginia in the 1940’s was a segregated state. The establishment of Lewis Mountain was a way for black Americans to enjoy the National Park. Given the Park’s proximity to DC, Shenandoah became a destination for all seeking the beauty, calm and quiet of the great outdoors. #Shenandoah #Virginia

@vanhollen.senate.gov is correct.
Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.

The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

Electricity costs are up nearly 8% in South Carolina since last year.

And what’s Trump doing about it? Hanging out with rich big tech CEOs whose data centers are spiking demand—while slashing investments in cheap, clean energy that could boost supply and drive prices down.
Soaring electricity prices are triggering a wave of power shutoffs, leaving more in the dark as unpaid bills pile up.

Americans are paying 11 percent more for electricity than they were in January, though that number varies widely by state.

Republicans like Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham are panicking on healthcare. DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. Their plan is a non-plan and does nothing to fix our broken healthcare system.

Affordability is clearly not on the Republicans’ agenda to fix…

Re-upping 🧵 below because the only way it’s going to change is if the R base gets cranky. So share the articles with your MAGA family members/friends over a holiday meal—that you likely spent a fortune on.

Donald Trump has been in office for almost a year, and his family has made nearly $2 billion in profits from crypto, personal gifts, and legal settlements—at the same time he's raising costs for millions of Americans.
