Not sure this is something to brag about. Trump said his plan was to autograph the image, send it back to Putin, and invite Putin to come to America for the 2026 World Cup. Are we seriously aligning ourselves with Russia now? He’s not welcome here. Putin should have never set foot on American soil.

Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.

BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down.

Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed?

This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.

This should go without saying, but the candidate being helped by Trump will never stand up to Trump.

And if establishment Democrats aren't endorsing Zohran Mamdani because of Andrew Cuomo, then they can't be trusted to ever stand up to Trump either.

"Metadata embedded in the Epstein video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro."
