We really need to resume active support of Ukraine, but with Trump obeying Putin's wish to back off and Hegseth's flagrant wasting of our own munitions it's difficult. 🤬 #ProudBlue
It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.
Trump suddenly furious that he’s surrounded by idiots. Who let this happen?
“trump’s frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where he demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran.” wapo.st/4hQVTF0

That means a future attorney general could potentially recreate the fund. The fix is simple formally amend or void the settlement itself (with all required parties’ consent) or have Congress prohibit the fund through legislation. Until then, the door remains open.
Heads up: The Trump Justice Department says it's monitoring polling sites in four Michigan cities today: Detroit, Lansing, East Lansing, and Hamtramck.
A win! A federal court has dismissed the Department of Justice’s lawsuit seeking access to Colorado’s unredacted voter registration list.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
There are a striking number of parallels between 2006 and 2026, though I’m especially interested in the GOP’s scandal-plagued members. Tom DeLay, Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, and Mark Foley have been replaced by Max Miller, Cory Mills, Chuck Edwards, and Tony Gonzales. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The Trump Administration is sending billions to Amazon, Apple, Walmart, and other big corporations to refund them for Trump’s tariffs. American households were estimated to lose over $1,000 to tariff price hikes. Here's an idea: refund working families before big business.

First, @theunpopulist.net published a poll showing that hard core Trump support has declined by about a third in the last two years. Now that Trump is governing, and governing poorly, fewer think he is on their side. (Would like to see more polling on this). www.theunpopulist.net/p/trumps-har...
