Fox News contributor Joey Jones questioned Trump’s Iran strategy after two service members were killed in an Iranian air strike in Jordan. A third is missing. Jones said Americans will ask how Iran could kill US troops after Trump claimed Iran’s military capability was decimated.

“Just stop laying down.” @weissmann.substack.com & @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social dismantle the case for keeping Todd Blanche because his replacement may be worse. They argue if Blanche was willing to pursue indictments of six members of Congress, why would anyone trust him to stand up to Trump now?

Feds are eliminating bike lanes, removing lower speed limits, and rolling back pedestrian protections, calling them “social initiatives” that increase congestion. Sean Duffy calls them “DEI bike lanes” and claims he’s “putting safety first.” www.npr.org/2026/07/16/n...

I lost my job, my kids have measles, I can't breathe the air, and I'm infected with a parasite that the CDC stopped monitoring. But at least now there will be ball-tanning stations on America's military bases.

Trump is building a White House helipad. He sought no approvals. Such projects usually require a developer to navigate a complex web of zoning laws, airspace regulations, and environmental impact studies — while negotiating with town councils and fighting off community pushback.

Quick advice to any Democrat running for anything or already in office: Every interview, in fact almost every sentence should end with “Trump crime family” or “corrupt.”

“He’s setting the foundation for an attack on the election.” @samsteindc.bsky.social asks whether Trump could cite foreign interference to send federal agents after ballot boxes and disrupt the chain of custody. Rep. @jahimes.bsky.social says the scenario is “absolutely” realistic.

“Donald Trump is a deranged person who is trying to undermine America’s confidence in our own elections.” @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on Trump’s unrelenting efforts to sow distrust in U.S. elections and why staying vigilant against them matters now more than ever.

This is as inaccurate as it gets. Pls read the article below to understand how far detached from reality this is.

Jonathan Swan says that when President Trump returned to office, he pressured the intelligence community to produce some kind of evidence proving that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump’s Thursday night address was the best they could do.

The Trump Treasury Department's top tax policy official was forced out of his job after he warned that the Trump White House was at risk of violating a federal law prohibiting senior officials' involvement in IRS audits.

NEWS: Several U.S. service members were injured in Iranian attacks on 2 Jordanian bases this week, per CBS News. The severity of the injuries is unknown. The report follows the MeidasTouch Podcast’s reporting that the U.S. was believed to be withholding casualty numbers from this week’s escalation.

No surprise that RFK Jr. and Mehmet Oz are trying to undermine Americans’ access to affordable health care. I’m grateful to @democracyforward.org and everyone else who’s fighting back.

Economists tried to tell them. 🤦‍♀️

John Hinckley Jr., who tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan to impress Jodie Foster after seeing Taxi Driver, is promoting “Imperium America,” a project using neo-Nazi symbols, promoting racial separatist, white supremacist views and wants to close all mental institutions. 😳

@nicollewallace.bsky.social tells @timmiller.bsky.social Dems need to build the broadest possible coalition to save democracy: “I need everybody there who doesn't want to live in an autocracy. And if you're going to have a fight about who you sit next to on the plane, get the fuck off the plane.”

Bari Weiss' new head of podcasts will fit right in with all the other right wingers. Good grief.

"Before he can vote for himself in the primary, Mike Lindell needs to register to vote in the state he wants to lead as gov The Secretary of State’s office said Lindell, Trump’s preferred candidate, 'does not have an active record' A review shows Lindell has an active voter registration in TX"

Luttig: As a candidate for attorney general of the United States of America, Blanche is an embarrassment to America itself. If the Republican Senate confirms this man, based on his record, to be the next attorney general, it will mark the end of the rule of law in America.

Trump says he is going to increase tariffs on Canada due to the wildfires

Reminder: When fires ravaged southern California, Canada sent firefighting crews to help battle the blazes.
