Trump's Foreign Policy Doesn’t Have to Be America’s New Normal
On Iran, alliances, trade, Ukraine, and democracy, the polls tell a consistent story: Trump is out of step with the American public.

** JUST IN ** The bipartisan discharge petition for the Epstein Files Transparency Act II now has commitments from Democrats and four GOP - Massie, Mace, Norman, and Fitzpatrick. A vote WILL occur when the House returns post midterms. The bill empowers state AGs, victims and Congress to sue the DOJ.

ICE cannot be reformed. It must be abolished.
Based on my on-the-ground experience during last years raids in Los Angeles, currently in Philly, I’d estimate at least 25% of ICE agents are open White Nationalists.
Watch this one throw up a white power AND “heil Hitler” salute combo.
This is normal for ICE.
This is ICE culture, plain and simple.

Do you remember when Trump stole classified documents, then was recorded on tape showing and talking about a specific classified document to brag to at least one woman?

The next No Kings on October 17 is all about promoting unprecedented early voting for the midterms.
We’re expecting millions of participants — which means hundreds of moving parts, recruitment, supplies, and thousands of local events that can only come together with a lot of grassroots support.

The oligarch that paid for Donald Trump Jr's wedding party is part of Putin's inner circle. Umar Kremlev flew on Putin's plan to China with him and was awarded a medal by Putin earlier this year. It's just corruption. The Russians own the Trump family.

There's really no complicated explanation for this, or any kind of grand theory. It's just Econ 101 and he flat out does not understand it because he's an idiot.
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

OOF -- Enten details how Trump went from +2 on Russia-Ukraine in 2024 to -33 (!) now, and how Zelenskyy polls among Americans at +13 compared to Trump's -18 (in other words, Zelenskyy is 31 points more popular in America than Trump!)

Trump’s planned sale of controversial bombs to Israel is largest in years
The pending transfer of the 2,000-pound munition, involved in scores of incidents resulting in civilian casualties, sets up a potential litmus test for Democrats.
