The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Trump is sending Americans $500 checks with a letter blaming Biden for supposedly overcharging them for Obamacare.
But as @CitizenCohn explains on MS NOW, there was no overcharge, and Trump is repackaging money meant to help run the ACA as a personal refund.

THIS WOULD BE FUNNY IF IT WEREN’T OUR GOVERNMENT
Rep. Jim Himes basically asks Americans to look past the daily spectacle and notice what is actually happening.
We have an administration fighting a war Congress never authorized.
A president demanding dramatically lower interest rates while the Federal Reserve is trying to contain inflation.
Tariffs being sold as money foreigners pay us while American businesses and consumers absorb costs.
A president describing trade deficits as though they're literally money America “loses.”
And Congress?
Apparently the strategy is:
🔥 Iran — we'll get back to you.
🔥 Healthcare — still working on it.
🔥 Affordability — tremendous.
🔥 Debt — look over there.
🔥 Constitutional war powers — VACATION!
😂 Except none of that is actually funny.
Because Himes's larger point is the one we keep coming back to:
Government isn't supposed to operate on whatever the President says today.
Congress has constitutional responsibilities.
The Fed has institutional independence.
Courts have authority.
Laws have procedures.
Facts don't become different because somebody capitalizes them on Truth Social.
And maybe that's the strangest part of 2026:
We're spending so much time reacting to what Trump SAYS that we're forgetting to ask what our government is actually DOING.

This teacher was at a Nevada School Board meeting & noticed that one of the CCSD School Board trustees was wearing an Anti-Trans shirt while conducting the meeting so she wrote a speech & got up & let Lorena Biasotti who’s with Moms of Liberty know how she felt & it was amazing.

At 9:23 this morning, the White House abruptly dismissed the press traveling with the president of the United States while he was away for the weekend at his private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. With the cameras now gone, just three hours later at 12:32 p.m., Donald Trump would share the first of 42 posts on Truth Social in a span of less than 3 hours and 15 minutes. The president’s public meltdown began when he posted his disappointment with one of his appointees, “I don’t know what she was thinking?” before he jumped straight into more delusional and dangerous images. Among the flood of posts, he shared an AI-generated image of himself kissing Jesus on a golden crucifix. He shared a “TRUMP 2028” campaign poster, a fake image of himself walking beside a handcuffed alien on a military base, and a renewed threat to invade Greenland.
He didn’t stop there. He posted a painting of himself as the commanding general, leading Revolutionary War soldiers into battle with his mouth open in a battle cry, while flames consumed the battlefield behind him, and a battered American flag flew overhead. This is how he sees himself. Not as a president spending the weekend at his golf course, but as a warrior king leading his nation into battle, one he would have never had the courage to actually fight in. That fantasy is not harmless, because right now he is leading us deeper into a real war where real people have died.
He also shared a fake image of his face merged with President George Washington’s, split straight down the middle, under the words “250 Years / In God We Trust.” It was a deliberate attempt to place himself alongside the founder of the American republic. Because he sees himself as his equal and inseparable from the nation itself. He’s saying he is Washington and he is the republic.
He posted a map of South America with Venezuela filled in as an American flag and labeled “51st State.” He shared an actual photograph of himself stepping out of a golf cart, hunched forward, a white USA hat in his hand, looking every single day of his eighty years, but with the caption “President Trump ages in reverse!”
Then there was the created image of himself as Elvis Presley in his iconic white rhinestone jumpsuit, with a deep V-neck and with his chest exposed, and a bald eagle embroidered across his heart. In it, Trump, masquerading as Elvis, stands in front of a microphone as though he is about to perform for a waiting crowd. And I couldn’t help but think about the irony of Trump choosing Elvis in this moment, knowing that he spent his final years overmedicated and isolated, surrounded by enablers who told him what he wanted to hear while his body and mind deteriorated. And how Elvis died alone in a bathroom at Graceland while the people closest to him pretended everything was fine. If Trump was trying to choose a metaphor for where he is right now, he could not have picked a more accurate one.
He just kept going. He posted an image of himself as a young man in a military school uniform, seated across a table from present-day Trump, with the caption “Same Guy. Even more energy now!” Present-day Trump is staring adorably at younger Trump. But what the image actually shows is the distance between who he was and who he has become. The young man in the uniform is upright, sharp, but not too far away from bone spurs and draft deferments. The man sitting across from him is eighty years old, and struggling. The fact that he felt compelled to post this, to insist publicly that nothing has changed, tells us everything about what he is afraid of. People who are fine do not need to prove they are fine. People who are declining do.

He attacks mail‑in voting while voting by mail. He mocks vaccines while getting vaccinated. He pushes “Buy American” while selling foreign‑made merchandise. He demands action against undocumented workers while his own properties hired them. He rages about classified information while mishandling it. And now he’s falling asleep on the job after calling Joe Biden “Sleepy.” The hypocrisy is staggering.

Kansas already ran this exact experiment, and the record is not close. The state's proof of citizenship law blocked 31,089 eligible registrations, a tenth circuit appellate court's own precise number, 12 percent of everyone trying to register for the first time. In exchange for that, the state's own evidence in court identified 39 noncitizens who managed to register over nineteen years, an average of about two a year, which the appeals court itself called incredibly slight evidence. A federal judge eventually struck the law down entirely and ordered Kris Kobach back to legal education classes before renewing his own law license.
The SAVE America Act's polling numbers tell a similar story once you ask the actual question instead of the easy one. Voter ID alone polls at 74 percent. Ask about the documentary proof of citizenship requirement specifically, and support drops to somewhere between 51 and 65 percent depending on the poll. Ask whether people support the SAVE Act as a whole, the actual bill with its mail voting ban and its federal takeover of state election administration, and it falls to 37 percent, with 63 percent either opposed or unsure. That gap between how a slogan polls and how the actual legislation polls is not an accident. It is the entire strategy.
Worth sitting with the passport numbers too. A hundred forty million Americans do not have one. Twenty-one million voting age citizens have no citizenship document handy at all. Only five states even issue the enhanced REAL ID that shows citizenship status, and more than a third of Americans mistakenly believe their standard REAL ID already does. The gap between what people think they can produce and what they can actually produce is exactly where Kansas lost thirty-one thousand real, eligible, documented citizens the first time this idea got tried at scale.
NEW: After many failed attempts, Republicans are again pushing to enact the SAVE America Act.
While proponents use polls showing broad support of voter ID as proof that the measure is just "common sense," a deeper dive shows many Americans don't actually want to make voting harder for millions. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.
Ladies & Gentlemen;
Please meet the President of the United States:
Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying.
91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty.
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
1 fake university shut down. 1 fake charity shut down.
Even his charity was a grift.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second.
A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Stealing from a charity with his own name on it.
Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway.
First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Efficient, if your goal is chaos.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters on his very first day back in office, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Law and order, except when it’s inconvenient.
At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
You’re paying for this. Not China. You.
Now sitting at one of the lowest approval ratings of his second term, stuck in the high 30s while inflation and gas prices make everyday life harder.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So, the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out. VIA~ Debrina Elkins

Ahead of Trump's speech tonight, it's worth recalling what the intelligence community, under the leadership of his appointees, concluded about the 2020 elections.
A classified version of this report was presented to him in January 2021.

Reminder:
To create thousands of fake voters, you'd need to first create thousands of fake social security entries.
And you'd need to create fake residences, where the mail wouldn't go undeliverable.
Then you'd need to create fake identification for these people to show up and vote.
AND
There would be a record of all of these fake voters, with full name, DOB, and address. You'd be able to point to specific entries.
Because whether or not you registered, and whether or not you voted, is a public record.
