Donald Trump and his administration are telling you that you’re on your own during a hurricane, tornado, fire, or flood. Know that Illinois will keep fighting to make sure you’re protected when disaster strikes.

Unplug Musk.
“How long can we tolerate Elon Musk deciding our elections and foreign policy? How critical is it that investigations immediately begin if and when the Democrats take back power? Should Starlink and SpaceX be nationalized to minimize Musk’s power?” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...
upon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, when it became clear that he was conspiring with Trump, i posted that Trump—once he’s done with Musk—would likely nationalize his assets the seizure righteous people are talking about is that very thing
I am in favor of separating Musk from his wealth. Size the traitor's money.
New Mexico has yet to collect on the judgment, but this is an amazing outcome from [inter alia] your reporting💙 @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

One of his traveling doctors need to yank him off stage NOW. MEDIC!
Trump: "He violently slashed her neck. Almost cut her head right off. Slashed it violently & viciously. For those people who are able to handle that kind of stuff you know exactly what I'm talking about. Very rarely do you see it run behind the actual ... Her head was barely attached"

Trump chose his side years ago. He is with Russia all the way. 🤬
I'd like to remind Trump administration that after Iran war started, Ukraine deployed experts and technology to the Middle East to help Gulf states defend themselves against Iranian drones and protect US bases in the region, while Russia provided targeting information to Iran.

German Chancellor Merz yesterday said Russia wants to undermine democracy in Europe. So why are German exporters falling over themselves transshipping G-Wagons to Russia? Stop with big speeches and virtue signaling. Bitte endlich Nägel mit Köpfen machen... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/european-h...

If Lil' Marco had an ounce of integrity, he would resign.
Marco Rubio says Trump is pausing sanctions for 60 days to see whether talks involving Ukraine and Russia can produce a positive result and avoid another year of war. RBC-Ukraine reports the US is considering further sanctions relief covering tankers, gas, companies and individuals. #US

It IS exactly as it looks. Trump abandoned Ukraine and Republulicans capitulate. 🤬
⚡️ “I believe steps have been taken to convince Ukraine to capitulate,” Zelenskyy tells Bloomberg. “I am not saying that this is the goal our partners are pursuing. I don’t want to think that our American partners believe the war could be ended sooner at Ukraine’s expense. But that’s how it looks.”

"She started crying when the buyer arrived... I just couldn't do it." A Ukrainian woman evacuating the outskirts of Druzhkivka refused to sell her cow to butchers before fleeing. Ukrainian responders answered her request to evacuate them both together, as she called the animal "all she has left."

How traitorous can you get?
Trump: "My decision on Russia is simple... Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help Iran, compared to what they could be doing ... Zelenskyy is using refineries as a target, knowing attacks are seriously hurting ... He could have made better deal 2 years ago. His country is in shambles ..."

The VIX, which measures option implied volatility for the S&P 500 in the month ahead, spiked on Friday, as fears over write-downs of all the AI debt built. But the spike in the VIX is tiny in the scheme of things, so this is truly a "storm in a teacup..." robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/financial-...

#SelloutSusie deserves to be fired.
Susan Collins said Kavanaugh told her Roe was settled law. Then the SCOTUS overturned it & she was asked if she regretted her vote. 'I do not regret the vote.' Tens of thousands in the streets. Rights gone. She still thinks she deserves credit. Go vote! ME, Elect Troy Jackson!

I love this as a variation on a theme. Thelonius Monk once replied to someone who termed him a genius: "A genius is the one most like himself."
My friend Bruce Boyer is fond of saying that "style is being yourself on purpose." Thus, to develop a wardrobe that lasts 10+ years, the first question isn't "Who makes quality clothes?" It's "Who am I?" In 2022, WSJ put Stephen Colbert on the cover of their magazine, styling him in trendy clothes.

F this bint! 🤬
Alice Weidel is saying that Zelenskyy “is not interested in peace,” and that in order to have peace in Ukraine, “we need to take Russia’s security interests into account.” She is a straight-out Russian asset. Note how Alice recoils and refuses to acknowledge that Russia rejects making peace

There isn't even a plan for a healthcare plan. 10 years!!
There is no Trump healthcare plan. There never was a Trump healthcare plan. And there will never be a Trump healthcare plan. He’s been promising one for TEN YEARS. Democrats know the Affordable Care Act isn’t perfect, but that’s why we are constantly looking for ways to make it better.
Appeals Court sides with DoJ against California, invoking the Constitution's Supremacy Clause translation: a court moved to extend to Trump‘s DoJ protection under the Constitution so his thugs can kidnap and deport extrajudicially people living here
