The Democrats biggest error since Newt Gingrich came to power is treating Republicans like moral actors who play by the rules. Republicans will do anything to retain power-lie, cheat, steal, kill. Democrats need to stop caving to them. We get burned every single time.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Trump has destroyed the transatlantic alliance. Not knowing whether Trump would defend Poland destroys all confidence in the American umbrella. Trust in the US was based on zero doubts that Washington would defend a NATO country. Now, it is not just a matter of doubt, but that the answer could credibly be no. This marks the end of the American umbrella. Europe needs its own nuclear doctrine, coordinated military command, and European NATO. We need it now

This is just strange. Trump stops and begins to wave. The camera man zooms out to reveal there is nobody in the direction he is waving, as his aides come from a different direction. Who does he think he sees?

Tommy Teepell (pictured below) a former operations director for Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, was hired to heckle Abdul El-Sayed at a town hall. Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was also accused of paying college students $200 to heckle El-Sayed. This isnโ€™t grassroots opposition. Itโ€™s manufactured outrage. Democracy deserves honest debate, not paid political disruption. Your vote is your voice. Use it.

These are not transfers from the US, but from other countries. The US is now actively sabotaging Ukrainian defense of civilians.
Breaking news: The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian attacks, officials said, a delay that comes as President Trump has embraced Russia in recent weeks. wapo.st/4yCb7T7

This may be hard to believe @JDVance, but many U.S. citizens want to see pedophiles in the Epstein files held accountable.
wow -- a protester directly behind Vance gets up and yells "release the Epstein files!" Vance suggest he's an illegal immigrant.

BREAKING: The Trump regime has attempted to hack voting machines. This is beyond alarming, with only two weeks to go before the most important midterm election in U.S. history. Trump appointees asked the federal cybersecurity agency CISA to secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it. (Source: ProPublica)

In a classified briefing, a DoD official revealed to Senators how much Iranian attacks on U.S. bases have cost us. Now, I'm calling for the DoD to make that number public. Americans deserve to know how much of their money is being burned on Trump's war with Iran.

ISRAEL is behind the psyop blaming the FRENCH protests on Muslims. Zionists are on national television spreading lies about synagogues being burned but not mosques. All the large hasbara accounts are parroting this with identical posts and scripts. Stay informed. Recognise what psyops and propaganda look like.

Russians at the front confirm, that the US cutting Starshield from Ukraine's frontline defenders is now allowing Russian troops to advance without pressure on their logistics. Ukraine has lost middle range strike abilities inside Ukraine. This will cost thousands of Ukrainian lives.
