Russia is also supporting Iran against us. This guy is the biggest asshat on the planet.
Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

A person without any govt position, who has numerous financial conflicts of interest, should not conduct US foreign policy.

And that’s before we get to the fact that he uses this role to corruptly solicit money for himself.

It’s wrong. Many seem to have accepted it, but I’ll never stop objecting.

Trump and Elon Musk gutted the IRS so it couldn't audit and investigate wealthy tax cheats. In the process, it kneecapped IRS customer service, and now everyday taxpayers—the ones who aren't cheating—are deal with the infuriating fallout, as my colleague @smencimer.bsky.social reports.
The IRS is imploding.
The CEO says the agency is proving it's possible to have “less people and better results.”

so he’s saying his and his party’s total control of all branches of government is illegitimate?
Trump: "These disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it. It is not defensible."

A key part of Lindsey Graham's legacy: when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Do certain Democrats know they don’t have to say anything at all about Lindsey Graham dying? If you just put out a slobbering statement or video, please don’t waste my time in 2028. You can bet your ass Lindsey Graham wouldn’t be making any videos about how great it was to work with Cory Booker.
