A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

I've started reading McFaul's new book, which is very timely:
"Autocrats vs. Democrats - China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder".
Trump/Witkoff/Bessent foreign policy is based on how much money it will make for them & their cohorts, not about what's best for America or world peace.

When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).

Horrific. Being done with our tax dollars and in our name.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Ghislaine Maxwell: as she is doing time already, Congress shd immunize her which would force her to have to testify (she is currently objecting based on the 5th A). She can be prosecuted if she lies or refuses to testify. And it would make it that much more outlandish for Trump to later pardon her.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

I was honored to speak at a conference “Intent to Destroy: Confronting Russia’s Campaign to Erase Ukraine & Its People” at Georgetown. The mere suggestion of amnesty for Russia's war crimes and genocidal actions against Ukrainians, contained in Trump's 28-point plan, is an unconscionable obscenity.

Yesterday, President Trump tried to justify the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by saying "things happen."
Today, Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that condemned his murder.

I keep coming back to the Joseph McCarthy moment where the red-baiting senator was finally asked, “Have you no decency,” and his cult of personality burst. “Quiet, Piggy.” We shouldn’t forget that the president of the United States uttered those words in this moment.

Aren't we all proud & grateful to have Jasmine Crockett serving in the House?
Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it.
The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts.
Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.

Weird that Trump and Vance didn’t do any “don’t embarrass our guest” when Zelenskyy was attacked by a reporter for not wearing a suit to the Oval. And yet ask MBS about killing an American….
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

We gave $40 billion to Argentina to influence their recent election and prop up Scott Bessent's hedge fund pals. So much for the "family values" party.
WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Sen. Murphy captured it about yesterday's Schumer Surrender 2 with the help of Team Cave: "Bullies gain power when righteous people yield in the face of their wrongdoing."
I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.
