Ukraine just did more to clean up American elections than Congress has done in twenty years.
We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.
The current White House Press Secretary is an insane liar. Change my mind.
It’s adorable that people think Lindsey Graham has a legacy.
In an administration of ignorant morons, Markwayne somehow manages to stand out.
1/ Russian commentators are hinting that the Trump Administration orchestrated the release from Montenegro of Russian warblogger Mikhail 'Rybar' Zvinchuk, despite its $10 million bounty on his head, because it didn't want to blow up its diesel deal of the same day with Putin. ⬇️

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.
Trump's head is so far up Putin's ass he can see Sarah Palin's front porch.
18% of voters pick 52 senators. Democrats won 7 of the last 9 presidential popular votes yet hold just 3 SCOTUS seats. Republicans have a tilted House map and a huge cash advantage, and they STILL want to suppress votes. Imagine having the casino rigged and being afraid to deal the cards.

“.. In other words, this economic cake is pretty baked. ‘Even if he did something, no one would believe it anyway at this point,’ as one GOP operative bemoaned the environment.” @politico.com www.politico.com/newsletters/...
“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side
This is yet another reason for us to turn out and show up at the ballot box, lest we slip back into a dark‑age mentality. 😤😒😔 #Blues
Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.
