Elections didn't get postponed in a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, yet Louisiana delayed its elections after the Supreme Court ruling just to redraw district maps. That's how badly they want to rig it in their favor.

I’m old enough to remember when the President could pass a criminal background check.

Trump has done more to punish Jimmy Kimmel over a joke and James Comey for a photo of seashells than he has to punish the thousands of powerful men who raped children and trafficked women in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump still running with his tax on Americans. Once again threatening the EU.

Trump claims it's unconstitutional to seek congressional authorization for war

Blue Tsunami Coming

The Dept. of Education isn't being abolished by Congress—it’s being dismantled through a "paperwork" shell game. Sen. Baldwin just caught Secretary McMahon shipping elementary school programs to the Labor Dept. Her excuse for targeting children is chilling: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/ice-got-no...

FWIW, I think Trump BADLY wanted to do this and right wingers prevented him. We rarely ever see Republicans succeeded in getting him to shift policy. But they sometimes succeed behind the scenes.

What has been the impact of the Roberts Court on democracy? Wealthy people have more political power than everyone else. Partisan actors have more power to reduce voter choice. Black people and other minority groups are offered fewer protections and less visible political representation.

Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate John Sununu says he supports a work requirement for seniors on Medicare: "I certainly support a work requirement for able-bodied Medicare recipients."

Today, after 75 days, Republicans finally passed the same DHS funding bill they could have passed back in February — a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard without giving a penny to Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP.  75 days of pure political theater. Total incompetence.

It's not worth the lives of our servicemembers and the money in Americans’ pockets to continue the illegal war in Iran.

Trump took a screening test for dementia three times. If you confuse a dementia screening test with an IQ test, you’ve basically failed both. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-boa...

General Dan Caine admits to the Senate Armed Services Committee that Russian President Vladimir Putin is aiding the war effort for Iran. Donald Trump talked to Putin for 90 minutes yesterday. You think Russia is gonna back off after that or nah?

AP: President Donald Trump says he's nominating Fox News Channel contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier for surgeon general after Means’ path forward stalled in the Senate over questions about her experience and her stance on vaccines. Soon nobody will be left to host Fox Entertainment programming.

He wants Ukraine defeated so I understand how he could conflate the two.

Pete Hegseth was relieved of his duties in the National Guard and ultimately stopped serving due to security concerns. Donald Trump then appointed him to run the entire military.

Dude couldn’t even jog to the end of his driveway. It also requires you to know how to swim.

Trump mixes up his enemies: “I think Ukraine militarily, they’re defeated, ok, you wouldn't know that by reading the fake news. They had 159 ships. Every ship is underwater. typically that's pretty good. ... Every one of their planes has been shot down or has been decimated.”

The Roberts Court finally achieved its years-long goal of killing the Voting Rights Act Wednesday, publishing a ruling that, the liberal justices say, will make proving racial discrimination in redistricting virtually impossible.

Price of Brent Crude spikes while Secretary of Hair Gel Pete Hegseth is questioned by Congress.

While Hegseth was giving testimony about what a great success the Iran War was, Brent crude rose above $119.50 a barrel, the highest level since June 2022.

To tell an obvious lie without consequence is more menacing than a subtle lie would be, because an obvious lie demonstrates domination more perfectly, so the more obvious the lie, the more virtuous a fascist finds it.

James Comey on his indictment: "Let's go." 🔥

Blanche says Comey faces 10 years in prison and adds, "threatening the life of the president will never be tolerated by the DOJ"

After failing the first time, the Trump regime has re-indicted former FBI Director James Comey. For an ‘8647’ seashell post on Instagram. If an ‘8647’ seashell post is an indictable offense, what is it when a dementia patient with nuclear codes threatens to mass murder an entire civilization?

He’s next, right? Fair is fair.

I am simply appalled. No words.
