ALT A political graphic on a dark background featuring black-and-white photos of Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump, all wearing red ties and clapping. Red and white text on the left reads: "Cash and gifts received by Trump and his family since his reelection: $2.9+ billion. Cash from crypto ventures alone: $2.4+ billion. They are profiting off the presidency." The bottom corner shows attribution to CAP ("Trump's Take") and the Center for American Progress logo.

Trump keeps letting Putin blow through the deadlines he sets without any consequences. And what does Putin get? The red carpet rolled out for him.
It’s time for Congress to act. #SanctionsNOW

.@HASCDemocrats Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith released the following statement in response to reports that the Trump Administration has halted delivery of weapons and support for Ukraine.
“The Administration has not consulted with Congress on this reported decision, including what else was prioritized and the trade-offs that were considered. In this context, cutting off a crucial avenue of support for Ukraine in a critical moment of their national survival is strategically and morally wrong."

We must act to stop the violence and end the suffering of the Sudanese people. Congress can’t stay silent. We must demand that the UAE and others stop fueling this war.

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: The US has declared that the RSF is committing genocide in Sudan. Reports that foreign governments continue arming the RSF—and fueling this brutal conflict—are deeply alarming. This is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world.

Trade wars don’t protect American jobs — they raise prices and tank markets.
Trump’s first 100 days brought:
📉 Economic turmoil
🛒 Higher costs for U.S. families
🌐 Broken trade partnerships
And Americans are paying for it says

Let's review some of the administration's destructive actions in just 100 days:
1. Undermined NATO
2. Raised consumer costs
3. Started trade wars
4. Cut foreign aid
5. Jeopardized intelligence sharing
6. Abandoned diplomacy
7. Stalled climate action
This is not "America First"

In @ForeignPolicy, @PhilGordonDC and I show how Trump has made Palestinian suffering U.S. policy. While we in the Biden administration failed to meet Palestinian needs, Trump shouldn’t get a pass for backing a humanitarian siege in Gaza.

The Trump administration has undermined decades of transatlantic alliance and partnership. In this climate, continued dialogue is ever important to solving shared challenges. Yesterday at @amprog we published a series of critical essays that do just that: americanprogress.org/article…
