Fetterman is only in the senate because Dems in PA and nationally had his back when he was incapable of campaigning. And now, with all the things Trump is doing, he dedicates all his time and energy (which isn’t much) incoherently trashing Dems on Fox & Newsmax every single day.
I’m so thrilled for U.S. Senator Ed Markey being reelected. I recently spoke with the Senator regarding healthcare cuts, and he is one of our biggest champions in Congress. Thank you, Massachusetts!!Congratulations Senator @markey.senate.gov 👏👏💙💙

The Pentagon faces profound institutional turmoil, as a crisis of leadership at home converges with a crisis of capacity abroad. Six months into the Iran war, Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon has fewer senior leaders, fewer critical weapons & less public accountability than at any point in Trump's two terms.

After such a statement, and following President Zelenskyy’s ultimatum regarding Russian airspace, Putin will likely intensify repression inside Russia, continue escalating against Ukraine, and step up the hybrid war against the EU in order to preserve his image as a "strong president."
Putin personally said there would be no mobilization and called it "nonsense." Until now, he had avoided making such statements. He was forced to do so because of the mood in Russian society, which is opposed to mobilization.
The RNC and the Trump administration want SCOTUS to allow states to carry out mass voter purges during the “quiet period.” But this safeguard exists for a reason — if voters are wrongly removed too close to Election Day, they may not know until they try to cast a ballot: https://demdock.com/4xm8STv
