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/

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.

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 providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

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.

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.

This is how it’s 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 Americansβ€”and take back Texas and our country!
