Trump spent much of the NATO summit embarrassing himself, insulting allies, rambling about Joe Biden, creeping on Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, insulting NATO some more, praising Putin, and then grovelling to the alliance for help fighting Iran. It was a humiliating performance.

The victim's brother said that ICE agent approached from the passenger side of the car, stuck his hand in through the window, and opened fire. He says that ICE officers kept shooting even as the car had come to a stop and was put into park.

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. (Published Oct. 2024)

I’m so tired of these rich, narcissistic, arrogant, entitled jerks from great inherited wealth polluting our politics while claiming they understand the struggles of working people and care about them. It’s about their ego and desire to manipulate, not about us.

An administration of delinquent children who care more about their personal entertainment than about the public they have sworn to serve.

$13 billion from foreign governments and he wants you worried about immigrants.

President Trump fired members of the bipartisan Elections Assistance Commission less than two weeks after the Supreme Court gave him broad leeway to reshape boards that were designed to be independent. Read more: https://wapo.st/4bvcR7N

ICE is claiming the officers who killed Lorenzo Araujo in Houston didn't have bodycams bc of "two Dem shutdowns." Put aside that the GOP has the majorities. And that the OBBB gave ICE a huge shutdown-proof slush fund. Here's an article from 5 months ago abt TRUMP explicitly slow walking bodycams:

Omar Yaghi, who won last year's Nobel Prize in chemistry, is leaving the US for Tsinghua University in China. The stars like Yaghi, who was at UC Berkeley, can leave. China benefits. Trump and Vought and Kennedy are killing US science for no compelling reason.

Another man was shot and killed by a member of the "memphis safe task force," the second in four days. www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/u...

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

This seems bad...

Damn.

As Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche fired me for doing my job, then subjected me and my family to months of retaliation. My story is one of many reasons the Senate should not confirm Blanche again. Read and share my letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. www.lawyeroyer.com/p/my-letter-...

The tech fascist corruption runs deep: In recent days, Marc Andreessen has been named to the U.S. Defense Policy Board, a civilian advisory group for the Pentagon, and now to new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's Productivity and Jobs Task Force.

Reading the tick-tock on the end of Platner's campaign and oh my god, Morris Katz should never work in politics again.

“We have public policies now that make murder and this kind of public lynching legal.” Rev. James Dixon made these remarks while calling for an independent investigation into the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. “If he’s not safe, we’re not safe.” Justice for Lorenzo. ⚖️ #SheShed

BASSEM: “This is what Israel does every day.” 🇺🇸 media isn’t even talking about the fact that 🇮🇱 killed the guy that organized a World Cup watch party in Gaza (and 2 kids) 3 minutes after the Egypt-Argentina match started.

You know the economy is in good hands when the government tells our most important companies to gamble on warfare to keep prices reasonable

ICE may have moved off the front page, but another man is dead after an encounter with agents, and the administration is still defending detention without bond. This is why we keep watching, even when the headlines move on. Read today’s Civil Discourse: joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-still-...

Commander in Chief in denial.

I’m sorry, but this video of Belgium’s squad mocking Trump in their locker room after demolishing the USMNT is hilarious.

Todd Blanche doesn’t have the integrity or the decency to lead the DOJ. #BlockBlanche

DOGE is responsible, technically EM fired NOAA who monitor the weather and could have saved this man’s life with warnings. How many more have to suffer and die before they fill the positions? open.substack.com/pub/alternet...

Dust Invasion!! Huge plumes of Saharan #dust crossing the Atlantic now along the Trade Winds. It’s a #Hurricane killer! But expect very hazy skies and extra nice sunrises and sets next week across #Florida, the Gulf Coast, and the Caribbean as rain chances go down along with the dry air/ heat too

A single black woman surrounded by hooded white supremacists is certainly a chilling image.

You can purchase your citizenship, you can sign up for the military, compete on the US Olympic team or World cup team and get your citizenship, Or Donald Trump can give you a genius card if you sleep with him. But being born here to foreign parents who are here is questionable according to Trump.
