Democrats can't get overconfident about the midterms. Focus!
A plea from me:
Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.
Excellent news for Republicans in the crucial swing state of Donald Trump's imagination:
They have been dealing secretly with Putin for weeks over this. Impeach. Impeach. Impeach.

the way i laughed at this
Putin throws lifeline to try to save Trump in the midterms. In return, American dollars go to Russia and get put toward killing innocent Ukrainians. Trump/Russia right out in the open.

You always think the Trump administration can't possibly go lower. And then it announced a livestreamed execution.
Barbaric. Immoral. Depraved.
You know I'm writing a column about Donald Trump's approval ratings when I Google "What is a sewer basin?"
A public execution in the U.S.? The depravity of Trump and the Republican Party knows no bounds.
Here's a heavy dose of my rage and disgust:
Trump’s barnstorming rally tour for Republican candidates is really paying off! 🇺🇸👍
NEW: When Christa Pike became the first person to survive multiple lethal injections, witnesses at the prison that day suddenly became a part of history.
I spoke with @iamstevenhale.bsky.social of Nashville Banner about the things he saw in the execution chamber—and the things he could only hear:
I'm so tired of the constant cruelty.
Absolute depravity. Our country is profoundly broken.
As completely deranged and fucked up and wrong as he is, I gotta say it is stressful to have the damn president of the United States constantly attacking my state of Minnesota, sending violence, calling for violence, putting all lives at risk, killing our neighbors. Like it really takes a toll.
Really just the weirdest weirdo in a sea of freakin’ weirdos. It’s like looking at the concept of insecurity wearing a hat.
Time to start calling Donald Trump “The Absence of Intelligence.”
OK. Definitely not what it means. In fact, that’s the dumbest answer anyone has ever heard. Sir, is it possible you’re having a stroke right now?
