Trump attacks Zelensky for hitting Russian energy facilities while Russia attacks Ukraine energy plants every day. Where is the principle here? Trump's cheap effort to lower diesel prices by allowing Russia to sell it into international markets, (1/2)

which is illegal by US law, will not save him in the midterms but will fund increased attacks on Ukraine. White House directives to downgrade Starlink in Ukraine will further debilitate their ability to defend itself. Trump seemingly likes dictators like Putin. (2/2)

Donald Trump has consistently undermined our Constitutional rights. The latest example, as per this link, is that he’s now coming after our right to vote, and have that vote counted, (1/2) cnn.com/2026/09/01/politics/…

based on unsupported and thoroughly debunked allegations of mail-in ballot fraud. The most insidious aspect of the postal service plan is the procedures that are planned but not disclosed. We are a country led by our Constitution, authoritarian rule. (2/2)

Donald Trump has been off the rails for a while but today his support of Kim Jong Un and agressive encounter with Kristen Holmes is taking his lunacy to a whole new level. He has lost whatever he may have had.

Concerning the AG confirmation, why won't the admin memorialize in writing what it verbally said it would do about the $1.8 bilion 'weaponization fund' & a permanent IRS safe harbor for the President & his family? Why would any law abiding taxpayer need or deserve such immunity?

There is nefarious interference at the IRS which could well be an abridgment of US citizens' rights: a senior Treasury official, Kenneth Kies, has been terminated because he vocally opined that Administration interference in IRS audits violates section 7217 of the tax code,(12)

The President continues to abuse our allies. Today it is Italian Prime Minister Meloni and in recent months other European leaders, , all while seeking alliances with autocrats like putin and erdogan. (1/2)

The @WSJ reported today on this with an article entitled "There is no going back : the inside story of Europe’s rupture with America". Every day Trump & his minions find new ways to destroy our traditional norms of governance and to undermine our leadership in the world.

Trump spent $14m of taxpayer funds to turn the reflecting pool on the National  Mall into an algae bloom- great job. Now he wants to pay Iran 100X more than Obama did to get out of the mess he made there, after months of spending $1 billion a day on the attack & blockade-1/2

Lastly, it now appears that the 'east wing ballroom' will use several hundred million from the secret service's  appropriations to offset the lack of the private funds that we were promised would pay for 100% of it. (2/2)

Relating to the Iran 'war', President Trump hasn't won anything yet. The Straits he closed by attacking Iran will be reopened. Let's see what happens over the next 60 days - odds are that the Obama administration JCPOA will be repeated, unfortunately.

America saw 4 million fewer foreign visitors in 2025 vs 2024 and a staggering $8 billion less in spending by those that did come. They hear continually from their media about President Trump's Truth Social rants, stories of our dysfunctional government, rampant crime (1/2)

in our cities, ICE raids, murders & deportments of people who while here illegally committed no other crimes & should be treated fairly while their cases are legally adjudicated. We need to win back the respect of allies around the world so they'll want to visit our great country

Lord Acton's well-known dictum, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely", applies directly to President Trump. The Iran attack was not thought out and has become a disaster - American consumers are paying the price, but Trump finally (1/2)

President Trump's Iran folly has cost the US taxpayer $29 billion so far. if Europe doesn't want to engage Iran, despite being potentially reachable by its weapons some day - although not now - why should  we pay for it? This is not our fight.
