A Chinese state-owned firm has supplied Russia with materials required to build hundreds of kamikaze drones. Records reviewed by Western governments provide the clearest evidence yet of a Chinese-state corporation continuing to aid a sanctioned company in the Kremlin’s military industrial complex.

Newsom: "Donald Trump is on the ropes, and he recognizes his presidency is over as we know it this November as long as we run the 100 yard dash. Don't run the 90 yard dash. We're this close!"

Newsom: "Do you know how much his supporters lost on that memecoin? It's down 98%. They lost $3.8 billion. His supporters. And he took home over $600 million. That says everything you need to know about the president of the United States, Donald Trump, about who this man is."

This is COMPLETE BULLSHIT! I have combat benefits. My dad was buried as a wartime veteran (Vietnam). Widows of friends I lost have combat benefits. None of us fought in a war Congress officially declared. But we deployed, fought, and bled across multiple continents...and our service was recognized.

Thank you to @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social for informing me of this CRUELTY OF TRUMP The Weeping Willow Trees were planted along the side of the John F Kennedy Center to symbolize the tears of sadness of the death of President Kennedy Facing the Potomac, Trump intentionally cut them down

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

Seems the Orange 🤡's renaming Lake Ontario is just as popular as his renaming The Gulf of Mexico, which is... NOT AT ALL. Instead of working on lowering prices, his focus on B.S. like the Ballroom, Helipad & putting his name on the Kennedy Center is the perfect Midterm strategy...for the DEMS!
