Thanks to Dems pressing in committee meetings yesterday, I learned Kash Patel doesn’t have a budget nor a timeline for completing one, and that Kristi Noem is spending money so fast she’s going to run out in July.

According to the UN, in the last 6 months, April was the deadliest for civilians. Casualties surged as russia intensified its attacks. 19 children were killed — more than in the previous 4 months combined.
This is what russian ‘ceasefire’ looks like.

Not just trampling - last time he wanted his Pyongyang parade he was blocked cause the war machines would chew the pavement off the roads and cost until damages - nothing’s changed except that he just raided cancer research for kids funding etc to pay for his own pageant of shittiness.
Constitution Avenue has been selected as the main route for Trump’s Jun. 14 military parade, so for once “trampling on Constitution” will be more than a metaphor for him.
Here's what we know about Trump's June 14 D.C. military parade
From the route to the music, permit applications give us a glimpse into the spectacle.

If you don't have a passport or can't find your birth certificate you won't be able to register to vote

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Shit is real. Trump & Vance attacking Zelensky proves without a doubt which side they are on. Any Republican voting with Trump is voting with Putin.
Now is the time. Choose your side. Whatever side wins will mean if America has freedoms or America looks like North Korea & Russia.
