Trump is a titanic f*ck up. While Trump foolishly appeases Putin and sells out our allies and Ukraine, Russia is helping Iran target and kill Americans. 7/

Trump is a titanic f*ck up. Last two inflation reports showed inflation re-igniting, even before the prices shocks that are starting due to his new Gulf War. Here's PPI: 6/

It's in my piece.
Things are starting to spiral. We managed to go a full four years during Trump 1.0 without a major foreign policy crisis, but no chance we'd dodge that bullet twice in a row. Dems need to have real campaigns everywhere possible because it's impossible to know what things will look like in Nov.
Trump is a titanic f*ck up. He has the worst jobs record of any American President since Hoover. 4/
Trump is a titanic f*ck up. We've lost jobs in 5 of the last 9 months.

America is in need of a major course correction:
- Qatar warns new war could "bring down the economies of the world"
- Disastrous jobs report, inflation is rising, fiscal condition worsening
- Russia is helping Iran attack Americans
Need a better wayπ

Prior to the new Gulf War, our economy was slowing, inflation rising, our fiscal condition deteriorating.
Now we are going to prices rise further, the economy slow further, our fiscal condition worsen. All of this makes what Trump is doing in the Middle East look far more reckless.
Russia is helping Iran attack America, and Ukraine is helping America defend itself from Russia and Iran.
It is time to renew our support for Ukraine and Europe, and stop Trump's ongoing appeasement of Putin. Congress must now revive the Russia sanctions bill, get serious here.

Donald Trump does not care about affordability for the average American family.

The lies Trump told to get elected are incredible:
- He's raised prices, on purpose, not lowered them
- He's now waging regime change wars just like Bush
- He's not targeting "criminal aliens" for removal. He's targeting 20-30m people
- He's certainly not making us Great Again.

Ain't about an election Mike. He needs to leave Congress as soon as possible.

The girlsβ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.
This is how itβs done: coming together and thanking and supporting your opponent. At the end of the day, we must elect a Democrat in Texas to stop billionaires, Trump, and Republicans from stealing from hardworking Americansβand take back Texas and our country!
