We don't do many long-form videos, but I hope you'll watch this one. It's a preview of what's to come if Trump is re-elected, and the end of the America you knew. After this, you can't say you don't know the stakes.

Donald Trump’s plan for America is no secret. Beating Trump this November is the only mission. The Lincoln Project invites you to take a peek at the terrible future Donald Trump would impose on America.

In 2 years time, MORE than half the Russian military has been destroyed and they've only managed to occupy what I've circled in blue. There shouldn't be questions why Putin wants a freeze to re-arm. If the West were to load us with weapons right now, this would be over.

I'm the first Asian American Miss Texas — with a message for Greg Abbott msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…
I became Miss Texas to spotlight diversity. But my state leaders are living in denial.

If Texas truly desires to be “bigger and better,” Gov. Greg Abbott and his Republican allies must cease its assault on DEI policy.

Her dissent in affirmative action case should be required reading for all Americans, especially those who have accepted the lie that race has no meaningful impact.

Interesting. Given Prighozin’s sledgehammer tendencies I wonder whether he won’t liquidate the top brass of the FSB before they get to him. I suspect things are about to get very ugly (even uglier than now)

⚡️Intelligence chief: Russia's FSB is assigned to kill Prigozhin. After Wagner Group's short-lived rebellion, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) was tasked with liquidating mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, according to Ukraine's military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov.

Mr. Trump is an ordinary citizen. Indicting him for crimes when the facts & law warrant shouldn’t be seen as unprecedented, much less earth-shattering. What would shatter our legal system and the republic it sustains wd be to extend presidential immunity beyond his term of office

Donald Trump’s current criminal defense attorney Joe Tacopina went on TV a few years ago and spelled out Trump’s guilt in the Stormy Daniels case. Trump apparently didn’t know about it when he recently hired the guy. This is beyond hilarious!

Jim Jordan’s FBI ‘whistleblowers’ gambit starts to unravel

When the GOP launched its “weaponization” committee, it was intended to strike fear in the hearts of their foes. But the panel isn’t scary; it’s pitiful.
