I'm less impressed by how @ossoff speaks (though he's terrific at that too) and more impressed by what he says.
This 2-minute clip is the best explanation of Trump corruption that I've ever heard. His explanation of the Russian dirty deals is so accurate and so clear. He knows the facts cold. And he explains them better than I can.

Vance says “The reason we lost is the war.” Yeh. But also tariffs, driving up prices well before the war. Unleashing ICE & CBP in a cruel assault on immigrants who aren’t “the worst of the worst.” There’s the unprecedented corruption. Trump added $2.2 billion to his net worth & surrounded himself with billionaires. There’s disruption of the social safety net, with cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and ACA subsides. And Trump’s complete cluelessness - his ballroom, the reflecting pool, adding his name to the Kennedy Center. And finally his obsession with John Husted’s butt.

BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards...
Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state.
In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California.
Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times.
Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course.
The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more.
Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes).
10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50.
222 + 50 = 272.
And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact.
In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states.
States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election.
We can fix our democracy. The time is now.

It turns out the president is far better at wiping out Republicans than Iranians.

It was gas prices.
It was the war.
It was also the corruption.
The incompetence.
The tariffs.
The playing nice with Russia.
The impression of cruelty.
The overly aggressive deportations.
The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic.
The arrogance.
The ballroom.
The reflecting poll.
The golf courses.
The arch.
The Qatari 747.
The aggressive redistricting push.
The threats against enemies.

Today, I sent a letter putting New Jersey’s port and terminal operators on notice: importing Russian diesel violates federal law and could carry serious civil and criminal consequences.
New Jersey will not stand by while Donald Trump supports Vladimir Putin at the expense of Americans. Instead of lowering costs, these imports help finance Putin’s war against Ukraine and a campaign of violence and terror that endangers our servicemembers abroad.
As a Navy veteran, I cannot let that stand unchallenged. Our ports must not be complicit.

For the MAGA shidiots in the back… some facts:
No, Trump didn’t “get” Greenland.
Denmark didn’t “give” us Greenland.
We’re never going to “have” Greenland, much like how we don’t “have” Venezuela or “have” control over the Strait of Hormuz.
He didn’t “solve inflation” and the war he started 8 months ago, that isn’t a war, isn’t “won”.
Gas prices aren’t lower than they were when Biden left office and neither is diesel.
We’re not the “hottest country” in the world.
This isn’t the “Golden Age”.
We aren’t “respected again”. We are a global laughing stock, and at this point most people in other countries just want to know if we’re ok.
Affordability isn’t a “hoax”, data centers aren’t popular, vaccines and Tylenol don’t “cause” autism and the Epstein files, much like the creepy ass birthday card Trump sent his best friend Jeff, are very, very real.
It’s still Lake Ontario, it’s still the Gulf of Mexico, and it’s still very fucking much, called AI.
He doesn’t have a “healthcare plan”, you’re not getting your Doge check, your tariff check or your $5,000.
The ballroom you’ll never see and the golf course you’ll never use aren’t “free”.
The reflecting pool wasn’t “vandalized”, January 6th wasn’t “peaceful”, and the 2020 election wasn’t “stolen”.
No one is changing your child’s gender at school, no one is eating your cats or your dogs, and no one is coming here from Africa or anywhere else for that matter, to steal your shitty minimum wage job.
Mexico and Canada aren’t our enemies, and Russia and China are not our friends.
Losing your Medicaid, your SNAP, and your healthcare plan isn’t “winning” and it sure as shit doesn’t “own the Libs”.
The word “dumb” has always had a B in it, and the word “incumbent” has nothing to do with something you might have worn to your prom.
Now, I know that facts are about as useful to you as a cousin-less dating pool, a sheep that’s not in the mood, and a book with no pictures, but that doesn’t make them any less true.
You’re poorer, sicker and less safe than you were 2 years ago.
Trump didn’t make America “great” again, he’s actively destroying it, while lining his own pockets, and the pockets of the Epstein class at the very same time.
Now I know that he still hates who you hate, and maybe that really is enough, but the truth is that he lied to you about everything else.
He lied about lowering prices, lied to you about no new foreign wars and lied about accountability for pedophiles.
And I’m sure you stopped reading when you met the first word with more than two syllables, but in the event that you’re still here, all I want, all I ask, is that you sit this one out.
If you’re not going to vote to stop him, then don’t vote at all.
Stay home and brush your tooth.
Let the grownups with still firing synapses handle this one.
I think we can all agree that you’ve done more than enough.

Ay Andy, hoy, sin mostrar una sola prueba me acusas de estar detrás de una campaña en contra tuya. Yo, con todas las pruebas en la mano te pregunto:
¿Con qué dinero pagaste tus viajes a Japón?
¿ Por qué no exigen que se investigue al ex gobernador de Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha, Moya y al senador Inzunza?
¿Por qué no nos cuentas qué pasó con la investigación deL asesinato de las dos personas que perdieron la vida en un ataque armado en Ciudad de México y que eran muy cercanas. al gobierno de Clara Brugada?
¿Qué opinas de cómo tu papá acabó con la democracia, infiltró al INE y puso como presidente a su amiga Guadalupe Taddei quien terminó repartiéndose millones de pesos de los mexicanos?
¿Cómo explicas el enriquecimiento repentino y lujos tuyos y de tus hermanos?
¿La austeridad es solo para los votantes, y no para gastar en botellas de 30 mil pesos?
¿Qué pasó con los contratos y negocios que hiciste al amparo del poder de tu papá?
¿Quién paga tus vuelos en avión privado?
¿Qué hay de las transferencias de tu amigo Amílcar a Suiza?
¿Qué tienes que decir de todos los audios que ha publicado Latinus de Amílcar, tu hermano, y tus socios?
¿Por qué no nos cuentas cuánto te tocó del huachicol fiscal y los contratos con Pemex?
¿Por qué apareces en carpetas de investigación en la FGR?
¿Por qué removieron al ex fiscal con tanta prisa y lo exiliaron del país en menos de un mes?
¿Que sabes de Sergio Carmona y su participación en financiar a Morena?
¿Por qué de la nada dejaron de ir a Badiraguato a ver si ya terminaron de pavimenta la calle que tu papá supervisó 8 veces?
¿Dónde está Hernán Bermúdez y cómo va la investigación de la barredora?
¿Qué responsabilidad tiene Romedic, en el desabasto de medicinas que dejó sin tratamiento a los más pobres?
¿Qué pasó con el dinero del parque ecológico del aeropuerto?
¿Con cuánto te beneficiaste con los contratos de Dos Bocas?
¿Cómo le vas a devolver la vida a los mexicanos que fallecieron por el balasto de mala calidad que vendieron y el descarrilamiento del Tren Interoceánico y sus víctimas?
¿Estados Unidos te retiró la visa por tus nexos con el crimen organizado o por ser buena persona?
¿Cuánto dinero te tocó de la construcción del proyecto fallido de dos bocas y el tren maya?
¡Enemigos de los mexicanos son ustedes que viven como reyes robando!. Esto se debe juzgar con la ley y con la verdad, y yo voy a seguir exigiéndoselas aunque se enojen.
Por cierto no nos distraigamos con esta caja china, que no se nos olvide que MORENA puso a Guadalupe Taddei al frente del INE para que les regalara la sobre representación, diera por buenas elecciones robadas y les permitiera a sus candidatos hacer precampaña anticipada sin que nadie los toque.

Hay una forma muy sencilla de CALLARNOS EL HOCICO y demostrarnos que es mentira que GUADALUPE TADDEI ES DE MORENA:
-Metan a Guadalupe Taddei a la cárcel junto con su novio y toda su red de corrupción
-Quítenles todo el dinero que se robaron
-Investiguen TODAS sus decisiones en el INE y qué las motivó
-Investiguen a los consejeros que votaron con ella y sus motivaciones
-Acuerden con todos los partidos un presidente del INE honorable y capaz, y un contralor independiente y preparado
Hacen todo esto, y hasta me disculpo por decir que GUADALUPE TADDEI ES DE MORENA

"Keith liked the Beatles because he was quite interested in their chord sequences. He also liked their harmonies, which were always a slight problem to the Rolling Stones. Keith always tried to get the harmonies off the ground but they always seemed messy. It didn't work . . .
"I admired the Beatles because they were trailblazers. They showed the way. I think everyone got turned on to the idea of writing songs by the Beatles.
"They were so big that it’s hard for people not alive at the time to realise just how big they were. There isn’t a real comparison with anyone now. They were so big that to be competitive with them was impossible.
"Nobody will ever be as big as the Beatles. It will be ages before anything like their success happens again."

Shitbaum, porque a ella, inevitablemente le estallará la crisis que viene.
Además le tocó la peor parte:
- El país quebrado
- El destape de la cloaca de su antecesor y ella con la imagen de encubridora
- Subsidiando obras inútiles
- Los efectos de la falta de mantenimiento generalizado de la infraestructura del país
- Mentirosa, cínica, arrogante, antipática, corrupta, autoritaria y con la gracia de un cocodrilo bailando hawaiano.
Y lo peor.-
No dejará una sola obra emblemática para ser recordada, porque ya estaba quebrado el país cuando ella llegó.
