I am working with Sen. Graham to pass legislation to help bring home thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia. Standing with Ukraine means confronting the cruelty of taking kids from their families and making clear why we must stay united against Putin’s aggression.

This makes Bush not knowing the price of a loaf of bread look quaint. Oh the nostalgia
BREAKING: In an insane moment, Trump blatantly lies that affordability is not an issue, claims prices are "down substantially" while they are up everywhere.
Americans can see for themselves, the "Golden Ballroom POTUS" is out of touch.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.
If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Uh um it’s not Star Trek yet
I know a lot of people won’t click through to read about “med beds” so here’s the crucial quote to explain how fucking crazy this is.
Trump just posted an AI video of himself promising every American access to this.
