Russia's strategy of attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine is "designed to create the appearance of victory where none exists, a deception intended as much for the Russian public as for the White House."
The Psych-Ward Presidency
The president has no moral core. And, according to his own chief of staff, he’s surrounded by amateurs, opportunists, and drug users.

My part D is x3 the amount I paid last month; I’m worried about my secondary ins.
I don’t know if my monthly SSD stipend will be the same.
It’s a frightening time for many of us, regarding healthcare.

Republicans have no plan on health care. And we are all going to be paying higher prices and get worse health care as a result.

Trump is having 2-3 “annual MRIs,” however, unsure why/what part of his body his docs are monitoring.
Docs pd for by the taxpayers, regardless
he could easily pay
out/of/pocket.
Then, RFKj is left to make decisions that will no doubt harm Americans - of every race, from infants to elders.

Rather than respecting the right of its doctors to advocate for better working conditions and care for patients, University Hospitals in Ohio chose to fire pediatricians Drs. Beene and Fouts-Fowler for speaking up.
University Hospitals must immediately reinstate these doctors.

American healthcare holds a precarious future (sans richest amongst us).
Be it hungry kids/families; women’s wellness & physicals (medicare no longer covers; I worry what else might be taken away); DMEs for disabled & elderly; access to vaccines; & all
the Trump regime denies ppl they represent.

Yes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right.
We must pass Medicare for All.

Does Trump genuinely not understand that unless inflation is a negative number, prices, by definition, are not “going down?” Or does Trump get it, but he assumes his cult followers don’t?

Maybe the Trump regime will ban hand-shaking?
RFKj’s HHS docs can provide bs.
Such as, discoloration is a sign one reneges on deals sealed w/a hand-shake? A sign “do not trust,” I lie.
Or when an excited Trump greeted Putin, shaking hands for an oddly long time.

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

Sadly, Hegseth doesn’t care if his decisions are wrong.
He cares about showing he’s the boss over high ranking officers; getting rid of women & people of color; and, when he does something blatantly wrong, that puts troops in harm … he cowers under a desk to scapegoat someone for his mistakes.

Authority depends on public consent. A lawless, anti-democratic, and violent regime voids the legitimacy that consent provides. A regime that breaks the Constitution cannot claim the authority of it. Believing in law and order, we must withdraw consent from those who violate both.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
