That peace deal Trump keeps talking about isn’t a mythical two weeks away. It’s very far off.

"Reviewing the list of provocations, acts of aggression, international crimes, lies, deceits, and abuses Putin has committed since then is staggering. In the intelligence community, these are known as 'trends'—and they are rarely this clear."

We’re now with Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea, Mali, Nicaragua, Niger, Russia, & Sudan. With Trump in the White House, the United States is no longer on the side of the free world.👇
The US voted against a UN resolution condemning Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

Chief Justice Roberts rebukes Trump for his call to impeach judges who rule against him:
“For more than 2 centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose”

Making it harder to enforce the tax code makes it easier for the wealthiest Americans to skip out on paying their fair share.
Slashing the IRS workforce is a handout for the rich: the top 10% of earners account for 64% of unpaid taxes in the US, and the top 1% accounts for a whopping 28%.
