It's all Donald Trumps FAULT. Biden didn't start this war.Biden didn't destroy America, biden didn't take away food stamps , biden didn't take away Health care, biden didn't have a big beautiful bill for the rich.Allthis money could of funded health care. Release the rest of the EPSTEIN FILES, We haven't forgotten donald.
I have written to Governors Hochul, Pritzker and Newson to follow Washington state's lead on taxing people who earn $1million and over. Then using those funds to help with school programs, health care, etc. Brilliant idea.
Also read on how Senator Elizabeth Warren booby trapped Trump into agreeing on her housing act. Another brilliant move.
They are taxing people who earn 1 billion in California as I understand. I have to constantly hear from a friend who is not a billionaire how CA will drive the billionaires out with the 5% tax. I say good riddance.
A concern that the tax will drive innovators — and their tax revenue — out of the state is central to Conway’s critique. “The next Google or the next OpenAI founder, for example, might decide, I will go to another state,” Conway said. “You can’t put a price tag on that.” It’s also why Democrats like Gavin Newsom oppose it. The state’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office expects the one-time tax to raise tens of billions of dollars but result in more than $100 million in annual lost revenue because of billionaires leaving the state and other impacts.

I just saw an AI sign that showed Biden standing next to a sign saying, the Strait of Hormuz is open for business, as a reminder that under him it was.
Trump killed the 70-year old Atlantic Alliance, insulted each and every one of our allies and a whole bunch of other countries as well, to the point that he's disliked around the world - he and America both.
If he's going to be replaced by someone sane, that person will have to spend their first term desperately trying to move the country back to the Constitution that served us so well.
If we want to really an effort to bring back America, we're gonna need a whole more people to wake up.
The next President is going to need to have a strong Secretary of State (one that wears the correct shoe size as well). The damage that has been done is going to take decades to repair.
How can England, France, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and other friends be sure when America speaks, it’s with moral authority. Right now it’s all bluster, lies, and insults.
We started a war that didn’t need to be done and as a result we are allowing Russia to profit from it. In turn Russia will use that to continue their attack on Ukraine.
The next administration needs to win back our neighbors and Europe, if not too late.
Trump train wrecked any believers in America. Unfortunately they can’t help believing that a huge majority of Americans are as insane as Trump the President the President they voted to put into office. No doubt about America has a huge bunch insane racist white people as a huge bunch of crazes ass kissing black people.
I think it is already too late James - the other countries are already setting up their realities that will continue for many, many years to come and the USA will be, essentially, out of the picture.
You might be right, but I’m optimistic that we can elect leaders who can begin repairing the damage that has been done. It’s going to be hard and mistakes will be made.
They have come to realize that the ally that rallied with and for them in WWI/WWII has become the enemy that seeks to destroy them in WWIII. What real choice do they have?
"Every day I talk to Bibi about the war. I want him to focus on the war and not on the f*cking court case. I want the only pressure on Bibi to be the fighting against Iran," Trump said in a phone interview. "Tell him I am exposing him. That [Israeli] president better damn well give him the pardon right now — and stop using it as leverage for his own political career," he said. Trump added that Netanyahu is a wartime prime minister who "should not be in jail" and said he refuses to meet [Israeli President Isaac] Herzog until the pardon is granted.
Everyday communications .. unreal!! Thugs of war-murder stick together? Criminals having each others back? I get it, they’re both headed to jail … without more war. Thank you.
Absolutely. Start a war together. "You can't fire either of us - it would be treason! We are war-footing leaders" (Please recall similar words from Bush, Jr. re: Iraq/Afghanistan). War makes oil companies richer and war materiel companies' profits soar, as everything else suffers. Next up, generic Rx medications.

Never have so few done so much harm for no reasons beyond self-enrichment; self-protection; strongman self-aggrandizement; and evil
I’m thoroughly terrified for the good people of this country and the world. I’m heartbroken and terrified for the animals who are suffering and who will suffer as well…all because the pedophile loser doesn’t want the world to know how thoroughly involved he was
Let’s just hope the good people of this country finally learn that age old lesson that elections have consequences. In the 40 years I’ve been following this 💩show called American politics, they appear to haven’t learned a thing. I’m not terribly optimistic that this time will be any different.
Hi guys. I appreciate what you do, but please don't title every email as "Urgent" or "Important." Makes me think of the boy who cries wolf. Yes, all of the orange twerp's antics are important, but there needs to be some discretion with the email titling.
The Trump's thinks they are special people when,really on trash.
Kimmel mocks Melania Trump documentary
At the Oscars on Sunday night, Jimmy Kimmel mocked Melania Trump's documentary, contrasting it with films from creators who risk their lives for the truth. Kimmel described her project as "trying on shoes" in the White House. He also took a jab at free speech, jokingly comparing CBS and North Korea's leadership.
""But because Alaska lay at the crossroads joining North America and Asia, it would always be important; and since it dominated these crossroads, it would enjoy a significance which only the brightest intellects of the region would appreciate. "
Thank you to Meidas Touch. I depend on you on a daily basis and sometimes an hourly basis to get through the days and have any hope and to know the truth. I am so thankful for all of our journalist, but especially the ones who are on the side of our democracy.
Proud to see real America's allies not bending to his will. I hope their position holds. He wants someone to bail his ass out AGAIN, like he's done his whole, rotten life. Do not bend, friends. Help us break him.
Personally, when I look at the face of Trump, all I see is pure evil. But I also see Vladimir Putin standing behind him as a puppeteer.
The Cold War with Russia has never ended. I remember in the early 90s learning about Russian propaganda targeting white middle class women. The propaganda was anti-VAX. What better way to kill off Americans.
And then there is the KGB participating in various sex rings by paying for blackmail tapes on high ranking officials. How many Americans in high power positions are following Putin’s orders. The big beautiful bill is definitely reflective of an authoritarian takeover.
To some extent, but might the facilitating dark money make some difference?

How about this evil from The Heritage Foundation: [Repression of women’s independence; a return to barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen]
"Summary. To end America’s family crisis, policymakers and civic leaders should treat restoring the family home as a matter of justice, driven by two truths. The first is that all children have a right to the affection and protection of the man and woman who created them. The second is that the ideal environment in which to exercise this right is in a loving and stable home with their married biological parents. In contrast, the default in American culture today is to put the desires of adults over the needs of children. Children are too often called to sacrifice what is due to them—the presence of their mom and dad under the same roof for the entirety of their childhood."
Trump insults and threatens NATO and allies then puts tariffs on them and is now demanding they help the US in a war none of them agreed to or had any knowledge of it until after it started. Now he can't believe none what to help him, what a joke.
“The person who says, “I hope you burn in Hell” … is a statement, yes, of cruelty, but also of arrogance. Ironically, the person who wishes someone else to burn in Hell is placing themselves in the condition of separation; and by their self-righteousness they become unwilling or unable to see the Hell that swirls around them. By their vicious condemnation of someone else, they end up putting themselves in Hell instead.”
Trump is the DEVIL himself.

You are brilliant, Linda W.!
I Think Donald thinks Biden is still President !
Definitely out to breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!!
Except if Lobster and Steak are served , he eats with his hands
with one side of his brain. the other side believes he's the king. sadly, the two sides of his brain don't talk to each other.
Thank you for reporting the reality! Much appreciated🇨🇦🫶🏼
Amen! Do these MAGA voters really believe this same old tired lie?
I just saw an AI sign that showed Biden standing next to a sign saying, the Strait of Hormuz is open for business, as a reminder that under him it was.
Thanks Ben for keeping us up to date on this mess. Great work.

I am in Germany. Went to an anti-war rally last week, and wrote a piece that is mostly pictures about it.
https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/i-attended-an-anti-war-rally-in-bremen?r=f0qfn
And desperately try to convince our allies that "we're back" like Biden did after Orangey 1.0
3 terms minimum will be needed:
2028: stop digging the hole; stanch the bleeding; seek to detoxify the schisms of hatred
2032: pursue rebirth and rebuilding with an eye toward the future as a reunified nation
2036: rejoin the world community by seeking forgiveness and trying to reestablish trust
Wishful thinking, I know, but it's a really good start.
The next President is going to need to have a strong Secretary of State (one that wears the correct shoe size as well). The damage that has been done is going to take decades to repair.

Now to get those MAGA people to see and understand and that could turn the tide. I hope so.

Fuck trump
Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? He’s a loser but he still keeps on trying (and lying). 🎶🎵BTW - His name is Donald Trump.
This is good🥰! FDT
DonOLD is the #LiarInChief
As a Canadian, i can say you
are right on. We want no part of Trump's war.
Thank heavens for your coverage.
