News From the Islamic Republic of Japan

Once again, Donald Trump' embarrassed the United States on the world stage at the NATO summit, by speaking incoherently, mistaking Volodymyr Zelensky for "President Putin," and making up entire nations. But this week, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills had the most to say about the Senate race in Maine, after Politico published the final red flag that broke the candidacy of Democratic nominee Graham Platner.

The Obamas Stay Classy

Trump's ill-advised, badly executed Iran War is ending just as disastrously as it began. He's determined to block a Blue Wave election by cheating in every way imaginable. The grifting and corruption of his regime and its billionaire supporters is on an astronomical scale.  And along came Michelle and Barack Obama to remind us all of what this nation once was - and can become again. MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills talk about this week's dire political news, but also the joy and love and determination displayed at the opening celebration of the Obama Center.

Don't Forget the Epstein Files

On Tuesday, we learned just how much the Administration tried to keep that information under wraps [https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/magazine/trump-epstein-files-white-house-vance-doj.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pVA.VWw1.RAhg2k0D12KY&smid=url-share], especially as it related to Donald Trump. (The URL above is a gift link, in case any of you still have not been able to read the whole thing). MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills also discuss that monstrosity on the White House south lawn, midterm elections and trumped-up allegations of cheating in California, the new nominee for DNI and Hunter Biden’s masterclass in dealing with online trolls.

Bye Bye Billion Dollar Ballroom

MOMocrats Aliza and Karoli went at it alone this week while Donna cavorted in Paris on her birthday.   From the ballroom to the newly announced $1.776 Billion-with-a-B slush fund, it seems like this administration just tosses so many balls in the air it's impossible to catch them.  But keep your eyes on the prize and stay alert, because we are actually winning some of these battles and November will be the Great Showdown.  Aliza and Karoli called out leadership and called on leadership. Let's show people what it means to be American in these midterms. Follow us on BlueSky @socalmom.bsky.social @karoli.bsky.social @AlizaWrites.bsky.social
