  Trump/Russia? Greenland gambit attacks NATO, as Putin wants. Venezuela gambit emboldens Putin on Ukraine, may be a de facto swap. Support for EU far right aligns with Putin. Please let’s not pretend there’s no Trump/Russia happening.

  What began with a bold military/intelligence feat (much credit to our professionals) is already souring as Trump fossil fuel corruption intrudes. They can’t help themselves.

  “Once operational, Revolution Wind alone will provide hundreds of millions of dollars each year in energy bill savings to New England,” is the punchline. Stated under oath, in a sworn affidavit.

  With Trump “running” this, what could go wrong?

  Trump’s madcap escapades in Venezuela and at Greenland won’t change the increases coming at Americans in health care costs and electric bill costs and grocery costs — for which Republicans are directly responsible.

  More Trump/Russia. Trump/Russia is real. Trump/Russia is dangerous.

  Today, @padilla.senate.gov and I are introducing bills to make clear that no one who stormed the Capitol should get a taxpayer-funded cash giveaway — especially not those who violently assaulted police officers.

  Today is going to be a hard day for the Capitol Police, as the pardoned 1/6 criminals who attacked them five years ago return for a Trumpian victory lap, and they have to remain professional. Keep them in your hearts.

  No matter how Trump’s MAGA goons now try to twist it, the January 6 attack on our Capitol was an assault on our democracy.

  Residue of the Trumpsters’ plan to screw up Social Security’s operations so badly that Musk-rats and tech bros could take it over. Looks like we beat that back, like we beat back the surreptitious Republican half-trillion dollar cut to Medicare. Gotta watch them like hawks.

  How long will it take MAGA DOJ to understand that there are consequences to not telling the truth? Judges may have to educate them. Then they’ll counter-attack with threats; then not investigate orchestration of the threats. Because it comes back to MAGA.
