📌The National Guard should have never been in DC., and neither should have the demented Trump, whose failure to deploy the Guard Jan., 6, 2021, while law enforcement was being beaten, our Capitol battered, and lawmakers threatened with death was treason.

Trump later said he loved the attackers.

Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War believe that a Russian victory is not inevitable. The actual pace of the occupying forces’ advance shows that a rapid capture of the entire Donetsk region is unlikely, despite the Kremlin’s claims.

Trump: “They were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country right now is perceived as weak.” (on China’s bloody suppression of Tiananmen protesters in 1989, said to Playboy magazine in 1990)

"As we watch the consequences of the Trump presidency play out in real time, Democrats face a critical inflection point," @govandybeshear.bsky.social writes.

"We must meet this moment with urgency and focus — and with the clear and tangible vision it requires."
Opinion | This slap in the face to rural America is a chance to turn it blue
Democrats should be the party of aspiration — and talk like normal human beings.
