We are becoming more like our ally Russia every day under the Trump Regime. Vote his Republican enablers and supporters out of office next month. Our Republic is being shredded and our credibility all over the world is completely gone.

Trump is the great destroyer. Killing 500 healthy trees.

Kim Guilfoyle is still the US Ambassador to Greece.

Trump posted that Putin and Zelenskyy agreed to a deal this morning for a cease fire on energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy is asked about it and says: “That’s news to me.”

KARL: You've been a strong supporter of Ukraine & voted for sanctions on Russia. What do you make of Trump's plan to buy Russian diesel? EMMER: Well, it's another example of our president thinking out of the box. He's listening to the American people. They're hurting. He's the president of peace.

Mike Rogers spent over two decades in Washington advocating for forever wars in the Middle East and has been a staunch advocate for Donald Trump's illegal war in Iran. Watch our new ad, "War."

KARL: JD Vance called your views 'left wing radicalism dressed in the skin suit of our religion' and said they 'aren't Christianity.' ADAM HAMILTON: I thought it was a sad statement that the VP would come here and attack the faith of the pastor of the largest church in the state of Kansas

This week, I met with Mayor Connie Alsobrook, a historymaker as both the first Black and female mayor of Conyers! I am excited to collaborate with Mayor Alsobrook on transportation, infrastructure, and environmental issues when I take office.

Bessent: "As the president has said, he doesn't expect kinetic engagement until at least after the midterms"

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

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.
