And now Donald Trump has even managed to forever taint the US presence in the World Cup. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2026/...

Please consider showing your support for the cause by wearing one of our limited-time T-shirts and telling others what we're building when they see it and ask: shop.forwardparty.com Happy Independence Day, America! Here's to 250 more! youtube.com/shorts/ggfWA...

A Warning from History and a Vision for the Future. Forward Executive Chair Kerry Healey shares a poignant warning from history that's just as relevant today as it was then. But there is a path Forward, and we are building it.

America is at a pivotal turning point. With the 2 major parties grappling with extremism, 49% of registered voters are becoming unaffiliated. Rather than holding our collective noses & voting for the lesser evils, it’s time to look at independent candidates. Across the country, ordinary people (1/3)

Should we be proud that our President is now flying a new Air Force One made in, and gifted by, Qatar while Trump says that America couldn’t make a similar plane? Not exactly celebrating America's ingenuity and boosting US productivity. He's a great cheerleader for our country…not.

Wednesday night, 2 powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela - a 7.2 magnitude foreshock followed by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. More than 188 people have been killed & thousands have been injured. Food is one of the most immediate needs & WFP is on the ground helping. Visit bit.ly/44tYHzV to give.

"There are many forms of patriotism and telling the truth is one of them." - Anderson Cooper, journalist and commentator (b. 3 Jun 1967)

"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." - JFK

"The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life - the sick, the needy, and the handicapped." - Hubert Humphrey, US VP

Trump's 2am posts show an increasingly unstable mind. His early morning rants are unhealthy for him & our country. This November we have a chance to slow the downward spiral by voting for all the Forward & Independent candidates we can find. Let's do our part! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How is it a ceasefire if the fighting continues? www.bbc.com/news/article...

"That's the terrible hypnotism of war, the brute mass-impulse, the pride and national spirit, the instinctive simplicity of men that makes them worship what is their own above everything else. I've thrilled and shouted with patriotic pride, like everyone else. Music and flags and men marching (1/2)

If signs mean anything, in rural WY and SD, where pro-Trump signs covered the landscape last year, this week there were only two visible along with a large "Trump lies, people die" billboard. There was an anti-tariff billboard in WI & no pro-Trump signs in NM. The only pro-Trump signs were in AZ.

Whether or not you agreed with him on policy, Kempthorne was always a gentleman who gave everyone a fair hearing. He was one of my favorite governors when we served together & I considered him a friend. My heart goes out to his family; he died too young. apnews.com/article/idah...

"But man, proud man, Dressed in a little brief authority, ... Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep." - William Shakespeare

"The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions." -Robert Lynd, writer (20 Apr 1879-1949)

Trump needs to be removed from office; he has clearly lost what little control of himself that he had. He is a disgrace. The only good thing is that his derangement is becoming clearer even to his most ardent supporters, so maybe the country can salvage its reputation after he is gone.

This is UNCONSCIONABLE. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"Protesting is an act of love. It is born of a deeply held conviction that the world can be a better, kinder place. Saying "no" to injustice is the ultimate declaration of hope." - Amy Goodman, investigative journalist, columnist, and author (b. 13 Apr 1957)

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: States are on the frontlines of defending our democracy. State AGs, Secretaries of State, and Governors lost no time taking Trump's illegal executive order to court this week. They will protect our elections.

Protecting our elections isn’t partisan. It’s foundational to our democracy. Every eligible voter should be able to vote, and every state and local elections official should be able to administer elections without fear of federal overreach or threats of prosecution.

We’ve now had American soldiers die in this war, which was never authorized. They were shot down by a country that Trump has claimed we have devastated, eliminating those capabilities. His lies are so transparent now. He lacks a cohesive plan on Iran, which is why we are seeing major military (1/2)

"History is a novel whose author is the people." - Alfred de Vigny, poet, playwright, and novelist (27 Mar 1797-1863). That, my friends, is us.

Maybe Trump will learn that you have to nuture alliances. www.bbc.com/news/live/cx...

A classic sign of a true dictator is control of the press. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

"We are not an endangered species ourselves yet, but this is not for lack of trying." - Douglas Adams, author (1952-2001)

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." -Dr. Seuss, author and illustrator (2 Mar 1904-1991)

The callouness and cavalier attitude of the administration toward the war - comparing it to football - is beyond comprehension. Ask the families of those who have been brought home in body bags just how much of a game this is.

2 weeks ago, they closed down the El Paso airspace to shoot down a drone that ended up being a party balloon. Now we learn they closed the airspace again & this time they did shoot down a drone, except it was one of ours. Does this give us confidence in this administration? Does anyone feel safer?

Trump will use the false claim of Chinese interference to take over the '26 elections. This isn't just Trump blustering; the SOTU was about inciting people to execute that plan. Find orgs like @statesunited.org & @fwdparty.bsky.social that are fighting for democracy & get active before it's too late

It's depressing to see Trump turn the Olympics into a political sideshow. Posting a meme of himself scoring a hockey goal, using the men’s team as ploys in the SOTU is frustrating, especially after the flippant remarks he made about the women’s USA hockey team whose record is better than the men's.

Listening to Trump talk about patriotism and honoring all those who served makes me sick. He didn’t have that level of patriotism when it came to serving in Vietnam, he just claimed to have bone spurs.

"It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment." - Ansel Adams, photographer (20 Feb 1902-1984)

Freedom, equality, fair elections, rule of law, checks & balances are truths that are not owned by one political party. They are American ideals. And they belong to all of us. Join me to defend our shared truths: weholdtruths.org #WeHoldTheseTruths

“Our democracy requires courage and participation from each of us.” - @govwhitman.bsky.social Gov. Whitman reminds us of our collective and shared responsibility to actively defend and protect our freedoms. Join us: weholdtruths.org #WeHoldTheseTruths

"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein." - Justice Robert H. Jackson

And just how much did this “mistake” cost us? What a joke. www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

What a shameless man.

ICYMI: We are proud to stand firmly in support of free, fair elections and against a system controlled by a single person or party.

Trump’s talk of nationalizing elections is not a distraction from the Epstein files; it is happening. His legal team has pursued this since 2016 and he has said that only elections he wins are fair. More than 60 cases in the 2020 election, including those reviewed by judges he appointed, found (1/2)

As a longtime proponent of nuclear energy, I am totally against exempting them from environmental review. To do will undermine confidence & could be dangerous. Nuclear is the only form of base power that releases no regulated pollutants or greenhouse gases while producing power.

"Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough." -Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President (30 Jan 1882-1945)
