This morning, I have one question — where is Trump's Budget Director Russell Vought? The architect of Project 2025 has gone completely missing in front of the Budget Committee, probably because he can't defend the administration's disastrous, unpopular economic record.

The Art of the Deal

TONIGHT: @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social joins @jonathancapehart.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

Only in Georgia. Got expected results. I reside here, physically, and I hear this shit everyday. They are so stuck in racism and pseudo-Christianity that it makes a sane person become a once sane person. They are born with this shit and pass it on, with help from Faux Fox. Georgia, goddamn!

I'm incredibly disappointed that Shawn Harris won't be replacing Marjorie Taylor Greene. Our district is the heaviest GOP favored gerrymandered district in the state. I knew it would be a long shot, but I hoped more voters were tired of Trump ass kissers. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Sky News: While Trump, the so-called leader of the free world, sits rage-posting like a man screaming into a void, France, Japan, Philippines, & UK are quietly, methodically cutting deals with Iran. The world has moved on & US Mainstream Media is not covering a bit of this.

Linda Tirado was blinded, and she’s been very public about the degree the trauma ro her brain has shattered her life, in both psycho-emotional, and pure physiological terms. Few things have been as essential to undermining democracy as the myths we’ve told ourselves about free speech.

AI or in this case unitelligence...

Organizers getting the demonstration going with chants, incl. "No justice, no peace, US out the middle east!"

"Trump’s illegal war against Iran was a bizarro amalgamation of historic crises and defeats...all willed into existence by one crazy person who should have no power over others, yet has lucked into more power than anyone on Earth." Good @brianbeutler.bsky.social: www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

yeah yeah we know we know we’ve noticed

what a whiny lying sack of bile he is

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Europe is out there cutting deals with Iran behind his back. That's what he's freaking out about.

Thank you for this. Also: Iran's 10-point plan: 1. Trump's 2. Epstein 3. Files 4. Trump's 5. Epstein 6. Files 7. Trump's 8. Epstein 9. Files 10. Release 'em. No negotiating.

This would be awesome (not for NYC)

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

DNC Chair Ken Martin on the 2026 midterms: People in my home city of Minneapolis were executed in cold blood. If you're worried about chaos, if you're worried about rising costs, then you've got to get out and engage right now

Paying someone billions they didn't previously earn so they let you stop attacking them is a chapter I missed in "Art of the Deal".

Since media is no longer talking about it, in 2026 there have been at least 32 school shootings, resulting in 15 deaths and 15 injuries nationally. *everytownresearch.org

The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men. Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.

#FAFO Poor dear faithful and loyal maga, everything *is* going according to his plan. His plan was never about you. Just like we told you. Repeatedly. We even told you where you could read all about his plan. We probably should have made it into cartoons for you.

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire". They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles. What a disaster.

And anyway, that's how epic science book De Historia Pisicium aka A History of Fishes by Willughby and Ray, a truly, historical flop book, paid for perhaps the actual most important scientific work of all time. For the record, you can still get a copy today- it'll only cost you between $8500-$10000

BREAKING: White House announces "closed" is the new "open," heralds "great success"

I mean, honestly, if Trump tried to attack the Vatican and take out the Pope, I feel pretty confident we'd get beaten by a bunch of nuns and cardinals and then agree to a ceasefire that requires American Catholics to pay a fee for every prayer.

All the little quail hatched out today. The hen had laid a bunch of eggs in a planter and she hunkered down under last season’s dried-out basil. I went out to check on them today and they were just leaving the nest. I counted 11 on the ground and another 5 still bopping around in the planter.

Taco Tuesday brings a huge jump in the Dow futures, and a huge plunge in the oil futures... a lot of wealthy people just got waaaay wealthier thanks for Donald Trump's market manipulation tactics by threatening the lives of an entire country and pulling out at the last second.

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

The struggle is real...👇😉 #Dogs #BlueSkyDogs #DogsOfBlueSky #Doglovers

I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction. It’s abuser behaviour.

Grindr Mike Johnson was too busy celebrating that a trans athlete is banned from the Olympics.

Joe Kent is from the Trump admin, radical far-right that got caught up in this. But he's right on these points.

Certainly does seem like trump trying to give himself an "out," so he can save face and manipulate the markets again.

I grew up in Polk County, which is the heart of this district. It’s impossible to overstate just how rabidly the voters up there worship Trump.

Massive Democratic overperformance developing in GA-14. Four fully reported counties are showing huge swings from 2024: Polk: D+22 Walker: D+24 Chattooga: D+25 Dade: D+29

I have said this privately for a few months now. Rubio is going to eat Vance alive in the 2028 Republican primary.

Excellent piece by Dylan Blaha on how corporate money is corrupting Republican AND Democratic politics. Especially if you’re in Illinois, I encourage you to subscribe to our new platform, Let’s Address Illinois. letsaddressillinois.substack.com/p/reflecting...

Republican Clay Fuller has far underperformed Donald Trump's 68-31 showing in safely red #GA14, only question is by just how much. Fuller leads 57-43 with the AP estimating that 92% of the vote is reporting, so margin may change as final votes come in.

I live in Calif. Don’t think I’ve ever been to Georgia. But I donated to Shawn’s campaign when I could. Will be ready to help in the fall.

Special elections in the South are tough. In general elections, everyone comes out to vote.

The young ones might be waking up. I hardly see my kid, but she made a trip home from college today just to vote for Harris. Said all her friends are regular voters too.

But now would be a great time for everyone to tell any college students (or friends/family/co-workers) from GA D14 to plan now to register/request ballot/vote for 11/3/2026 General Elec.
