Sen. Ron Johnson on Mitch McConnell: "I just heard from a source that was an older photo"

How did this guy ever become a senator. This is proof positive that we are doing this wrong, or at least GOP is doing this wrong.

pov: if introverts were honest

Judge Kathleen Williams didn't just reject Trump's $1.776 billion "slush fund" deal—she dismantled it, step by careful step. It's one of the most consequential opinions of the year, and every page matters. I break down why. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

ALERT: More trouble for Todd Blanche today. Attorneys for @katiephang.bsky.social ask Judge Emmet Sullivan to issue a $1000/day fine against Blanche until Blanche adheres to court order to release more Epstein files (Blanche refused to do so by July 2 deadline)

Americans are once again watching in horror as Trump’s lawless federal agents took another life - this time in Maine. We must seek accountability and justice and an end to this madness.

Trump just delivered his first speech after the death of his allegedly dear friend Lindsey Graham, which happened less than 48 hours ago. He didn't mention him once. RIP.

We can't go numb to this. We can't let this become normal.

Trickle down economics is a republican term for transference of wealth from the poor to the rich.

The Portland Press Herald is reporting that Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition & Presente! Maine say the person who died in the shooting is a 26-year-old Colombian man authorized to work in the U.S. & had been issued a Social Security number. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge says Trump lawsuit against IRS was filed for 'improper purpose' and refers attorneys for disciplinary action

BREAKING via AP A federal judge said Monday that President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns was filed for an “improper purpose” as she referred attorneys for disciplinary actions.

The trump administration is an international mafia crime syndicate now.

Internationalization of the Mafia State continues -

Rest in Pusillanimity. My Lindsey Graham obituary for @atrupar.com Public Notice. Please read and share, thx! substack.com/@tomschaller...

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Nothing to see here: Just 292,150+ people warning about Trump Admin’s new federal rule to strip grant funding power away from experts, scientists and unbiased arbiters Instead granting power over federal grants to Trump appointees Enormous issue Comment deadline is today

“He didn’t write that!’ No sh*t? Even if he were healthy enough to be running a marathon he wouldn’t have written it.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Stand by for exclusive major breaking news in my Epstein Files FOIA case. More in an hour. It’s big.

Trump is no leader - not of war - or anything else - he’s a worthless coward - who put himself at risk by committing war crimes and then running scared from his military failures - he should slither out of office - such a shame and a disgrace.

If only food banks were ‘too big to fail’.

They say it comes in threes...

This is not the headline I was expecting or hoping for. But I'll take it.

Demented old man has the power to launch a nuclear war. He is a raging threat to humankind. Please Congress- you must impeach him

Trump started a war with Iran and assassinated their leaders. The US government had been bombing the country for months and killing civilians. There’s no moral high ground here despite Trump’s preemptive effort to cast himself as a victim.

Politicians would be wise to pay attention. What stands out is the shared sentiment among Dems in different states: a clear desire for new voices and a willingness to confront problems inside the Democratic Party instead of pretending they don’t exist. A common thread that’s hard to miss.

Donald Trump is mentally deranged. He’s a danger to the U.S. He’s a danger to the globe. He does not belong in this position of power—in control of the massive U.S. military—and he should be removed from office. This is not a joke. And his GOP enablers are responsible for abdicating their duty.

Another attack on the Constitutional 1st amendment

Milk Monday, and Kenderi isn't waiting around. Watch him hurry as soon as the bottles appear – he wants his milk, and he wants it now. One of our older orphans, well on his way through weaning – milk feeds carry him through this in-between stage. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/shop/wishlist

Walk & Talk - if you are against antifa, does that mean you are a fascist? youtu.be/I0IWJgheSvY?...

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

Amazing how many people over the last few years have moved from person I sometimes disagree with, to person I disagree with who is also unpleasant online, to genuinely bad person whose soul has warped beyond recognition. the politics of our times are like a solvent for decency.

Sit & Talk - a man without grace or courage. youtu.be/E9NzOBxhrY0?...

“When socialism finally came to America it wasn’t the lefty, Scandinavian version with universal health care and free college. Oh no. Instead, we got a command economy à la Chinese communism and it was ushered in by the right.”

Four weeks. Mitch McConnell has been completely out of public view, hospitalized since mid-June with zero transparency from his office. Is he alive? Brain dead? Recovering? Yet DC reporters can’t be bothered to demand real answers or even basic updates. The media’s selective silence is deafening.

Well that's a beaut! #ClassicTruck #ClassicChevyTruck

Wow, I just saw a pilleated woodpecker conversing with 4 small birds in the treetop. The he yelled at them, and flew off with his mate in tow. That was soooo freaking cool. Guess it pay to take the morning dog walj a bit earlier than usual!

Alert!

What the hell? Just heard on the morning WTEN news... Hot dogs are a known carcinogen??? WTF?? How am I just learning this?? Omg, so is sausage, ham and BACON!!! NOT BACON!!!!!! This world is so wrong. The earth just moved under my feet. Not in a good way.

10 alarm fire. Is anyone paying attention? Does anyone care? Or are yall just glued to scrolling? America is getting terrifying and it feels like majority aren't even paying attention to how CRUCIAL THREAT TO FREEDOM these ACTIONS ARE.

If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. www.propublica.org/article/fede...

Trickle down economics explained with cats

The "genius" behind Platner appears to be an absolute and complete dirtbag. This is my surprised face. No one involved in this race should ever get to work in Dem politics again.

Mexico will request criminal charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody or during immigration enforcement operations by the Trump admin.

So apparently, operating a big Ford bronco at 45 mph while watching your phone 99.8% of the time is not a crime unless the police observe it themselves. This world is so broken. Watch out for NYS JJA7156 if you're in the capital region. They are dangerous.

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: The family is demanding the release of Lorenzo’s body. It has been complicated because they removed all of his personal identifying information before they put him in the ambulance. That required the hospital to admit him as a John Doe.

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!
