The commercials are just the latest effort by the Trump administration to unlawfully use federal government resources to unfairly influence elections this year. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Trump’s taxpayer-funded propaganda ads draw third lawsuit
It’s the third lawsuit filed in response to the campaign-style ads, seemingly created to boost GOP candidates as the party registers historically low ratings.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera).
Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday.

Trump started a stupid & illegal war in Iran that has driven up diesel prices. Now he wants to bankroll Putin's illegal war against Ukraine by buying diesel from him.

The news just since I left work:
-A planned livestream of an execution by firing squad
-Trump basically trying to incite a pogrom against Somalis
Nothing mysterious or complicated about what's happening.

Universities bring in foreign students ... to undercut the wages of American residents? What?
This is exactly backwards. Foreign students subsidize the tuition of American students.
I wonder why the VP who follows Nazis online has this all wrong.
Probably an innocent, non-racist mistake.

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

Yesterday I was shocked, sickened and incredibly angry at the Russian strike on an apartment block in Chernihiv region.
But as the first day of mourning starts there, we have, if anything an even more monstrous attack on Kramatorsk in free Donetsk, striking two buses.

Welcome to Day 1688 of Russia's launch of its all out war on Ukraine.
But, by the way it's also 626 days since Trump's 2nd inauguration and his promises to end the war in 24 hours, but as with Iran, we see his boasts turn to dust if his family can rake in more cash.
