Rep. Raskin as RM keeps sounding the alarm although he knows the Republicans sitting to his right [literally & politically] will ultimately ignore. But he is speaking truth to power in hopes that his message will get beyond the chamber and out to the public. Here we go. youtu.be/h7R5iLG_hYI?...

The Ship[wreck] of State open.substack.com/pub/bwf27/p/... Given Sen. Kim [D-NJ] was reportedly pepper-sprayed in the face by ICE, given the egregious misconduct by DOJ to indite the Broadview Six, given rumors of how Trump might end "the war" in Iran, I thought this was worth reposting.

NOT SO TRIVIAL TRIVIA King Donald brags about giving away his $400K annual salary. $400K does not cover the cost of one day of golf when he goes to his private properties. It would take 300 years of annual salary to cover Trump's golfing so far, 1st term & first 16 months of his 2nd. Happy 250th!

In Budapest, locals tore down Orban’s anti-Ukrainian posters and celebrated Magyar’s election victory in various ways. A Hungarian soldier shouted to the crowd from the stage that the government's attitude toward Ukraine had been absurd and had only weakened Hungary's position.
