Five years ago today, Trump summoned a mob to Washington, DC for a “protest” on Jan. 6, 2021, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!”
Rightwing extremists began planning for violence almost immediately.

As new Epstein files are released, keep in mind that in his first term, Trump ate, flushed, and stole documents, and his Chief of Staff burned them in the White House fireplace.

Mike Johnson was pissed that we pushed a petition through and are forcing a vote on extended ACA tax credits. He just can’t stop losing.
But right now we need your help. We need everyone to contact Congress and tell them to get it done:

Although Tom Ragsdale’s oil companies owe New Mexico more than $3.5 million for pollution and unpaid fees, the state has recovered only about $50,000.
Drillers across the industry have employed similar tactics in what is known as “the playbook.”

We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.
Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

The contrast between Trump's US & EU:
The EU just committed $105 Billion to Ukraine for two years.
The US defense billl offers $400 Million (!) a year for those two years.
Trump has made the US irrelevant.
The EU understands the importance of Ukraine, Trump does not.
