Flávio Bolsonaro is a foreign national under criminal investigation. Rubio is colluding with him to evade justice. Cowardly fascists and authoritarian thugs used to flee to Russia or Saudi Arabia to escape accountability. This administration welcomes them to America. Disgusting.

Get ready for the unfolding of a Russian propaganda operation, carried out with the aid of the White House, in the battered town of Oleshky. From @ZarinaZabrisky, who has been reporting from Kherson, just across the river, since 2023

RM @RepRaskin Investigates Trump’s tariff-exception grift: American families pay thousands each year so Trump can get richer selling special-interest carve-outs to his own tariffs.

Hey Maga voters:
I'm unsure if you noticed this, but voting for derelicts because you hate us isn't working so well for the country.

💔 THIS IS KRAMATORSK — THE LARGEST UKRAINIAN-CONTROLLED CITY IN DONETSK REGION
Russia is slowly turning what was once a thriving city of 150,000 people into a wasteland.
Today, only around 26,000 residents remain – roughly 18% of its pre-war population. And even they are gradually leaving.
Kramatorsk once had direct high-speed Intercity train connections to Kyiv, modern transport infrastructure, and newly developed schools and parks. It was a city full of life, with busy streets and a future.
Now, it struggles to survive under constant Russian guided bomb and drone attacks. Barbed wire has become a common sight along streets that were once filled with people.
This is what Russia is doing to Ukrainian cities – destroying entire cities and the lives people built there.

A new live tracker has been set up called "Trump's Take" and it currently shows the criminal President has used the presidency to rake in almost $3 billion for him and his family while the rest of us deal with an affordability crisis of Trump's own making.

We just learned more about Trump’s Venezuela oil deal, and here’s everything you need to know:
1. This deal is structured to hide the identities of people who stand to profit from it.
You don’t hide that unless you have a reason to. And the man whose firm Trump just bought a 35% stake in? Alejandro Betancourt, a Venezuelan billionaire who has faced several money-laundering investigations around the world.
2. Don’t expect cheaper gas anytime soon.
Experts have been telling us for MONTHS that oil production in Venezuela isn’t going to lower U.S. gas prices anytime soon. Betancourt’s company is able to deliver as much oil in a year as the U.S. uses in a few days. Anyone promising this deal will bring down prices at the pump is selling you lies.
3. If there’s a legal fight over this agreement, it has to go through a Texas court that Trump’s DOJ has repeatedly turned to for favorable rulings.
4. This deal creates a board designed to be shielded from oversight and accountability. Trump’s own Treasury Secretary wasn’t able to give Congress basic answers or audits when he testified about Venezuela just last month. But we should blindly trust them now?
So let’s recap: Americans aren’t going to feel relief at the pump. The identity of the people involved is conveniently hidden from us. And legal disputes go to a specific court that disproportionately rules in Trump’s favor.
Whatever you think American foreign policy towards Venezuela should be, Congress and the public deserve to know who’s involved and where the money is going.

James Talarico is a Social Security champion!
This is exactly the kind of person we can trust to vote on Social Security's future in the Senate.
@JamesTalarico
ALT A graphic with a photo of James Talarico. The text says, "SOMEONE MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS STOPS PAYING INTO SOCIAL SECURITY IN JANUARY. ANY SERIOUS PROPOSAL TO STRENGTHEN SOCIAL SECURITY MUST INCLUDE PROVISIONS THAT REQUIRE THE WEALTHIEST TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JAMES TALARICO PLANS TO DO."

NEW: The Trump administration is considering lifting sanctions on Russia’s flagship government investment fund, a powerful tool of Kremlin influence, a U.S. official said, as part of efforts to “improve U.S.-Russia relations and help end the war.”
The official also praised the fund’s chief, Kirill Dmitriev, as “a helpful envoy” in negotiations to end the war—NYT
