Friends,<\/p>\n

My first quote of the week comes from Trump on Air Force One, on his way back from Beijing on Friday \u2014 telling David Sanger of The New York Times<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You\u2019re a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it\u2019s sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it\u2019s treason.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note Trump\u2019s use of the pronoun \u201cI.\u201d He didn\u2019t say \u201cwe\u201d had a military victory. Trump\u2019s malignant narcissism is worsening.<\/p>\n

Also take note of his blatant lie. His war in Iran has been anything but<\/em> a victory. His delusions and deceptions about the war are escalating.<\/p>\n

Americans are far worse off today than we were before Trump started his war. We\u2019re now paying $1.50 a gallon more for gas, on average. Paying even more, indirectly, for the diesel fuel powering trucks that transport much of what we buy. Food costs are also rising because the fertilizer used to grow much of the food we eat can\u2019t move through the Strait of Hormuz. The soaring cost of jet fuel is also being passed on to those of us who fly.<\/p>\n

And none of these costs will come down soon, even if the war ends tomorrow, because the price for oil is largely set in a global market, and much of the oil infrastructure of the Middle East is in ruins.<\/p>\n

Trump has made it harder for us to switch from oil and gas to renewable sources of energy, in which China is excelling. Trump loves fossil fuels \u2014 he\u2019s subsidizing oil and gas and has ended subsidies for renewables (remember his election deal with Big Oil?) \u2014 but the future lies with wind, solar, and biomass, and the batteries that store them.<\/p>\n

And note the not-so-subtle threat Trump directed at Sanger \u2014 that Sanger could be accused of treason if he continued to report that Trump\u2019s war is failing. Trump\u2019s dangerous accusations are intensifying.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to my other quote of the week \u2014 Trump\u2019s comment just before leaving for China that:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think about Americans\u2019 financial situation. I don\u2019t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That\u2019s all. That\u2019s the only thing that motivates me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I believe the first part, that Trump doesn\u2019t think about Americans\u2019 financial situation; he never has and never will. But it can\u2019t possibly be that the only thing motivating him is preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

I say this because we were much closer to achieving this goal when Iran was still observing the nuclear deal it struck with Barack Obama \u2014 in which Iran agreed to limit its nuclear activities, including reducing its enriched uranium stockpile and modifying reactors to prevent the production of weapons-grade plutonium. (In exchange, the United States, United Nations, and European Union agreed to lift international economic and financial sanctions on Iran.)<\/p>\n

But Trump pulled out of that deal. And Iran\u2019s new leadership is hellbent on creating a nuclear weapon. Trump\u2019s and Israel\u2019s aggression apparently have proven to Iran\u2019s new (and more extremist) leaders how much they need it. And the Trump regime has no idea where Iran is storing its near-weapons-grade plutonium.<\/p>\n

Friends, a madman is in charge of American foreign policy \u2014 but almost no Republican member of Congress, no major CEO or university president or head of a major foundation, and certainly no member of Trump\u2019s regime is willing to sound the alarm. They are all cowards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I mentioned to you earlier this week that I had dinner with a group of political operatives who gave 30 percent odds that JD Vance and Marco Rubio would lead a coup within the next three to four months, invoking the 25th Amendment to get rid of the madman. Those odds may be higher now.<\/p>\n

But you and I are not powerless. We can achieve the next best outcome \u2014 limiting Trump\u2019s power to do more damage \u2014 by getting out the vote on or before November 3 and throwing the cowardly Republican senators and representatives out on their assets.<\/p>\n

We have less than six months to get the largest midterm turnout in American history \u2014 a blue tsunami that will start the process of repair, reform, and return to sanity.<\/p>\n

I know how frightening and discouraging all of this has been. I know how daunting the forces of cruelty and corruption can sometimes feel. I also know how hard you\u2019ve been fighting, while at the same time working to keep yourself, your family, and your community on an even keel. And I thank you for it.<\/p>\n

Despite Trump, please do not feel shame in America. Feel pride in the ideals we share. Feel honored that you are an activist warrior on the right side of history. Feel strength in our conviction. Feel power in our cause.<\/p>\n

Have no doubt: We will prevail against the madman-in-chief and his lawless regime.<\/p>\n
