The common thread to any and all Trump nominees is a willingness to put Trump ahead of the constitution. It’s literally the only job requirement. Nothing else matters. All these hearings are just Dems getting them to admit it, while Republicans show they don’t care.

Clayton’s answer was disqualifying. After recounts, audits, and lawsuits, there is no evidence to support Trump’s fantasies of a stolen election in 2020. Our intelligence services must be above politics.

TREY YINGST: "Do you believe the Iranians are serious about making a deal?" TRUMP: "They have no choice." YINGST: "Well then, why haven't they?" TRUMP: [in a so-there, sing-song voice] "They never made a deal with Obama..." (Sit-down interview on Fox, July 14, 2026)

With a huge surge of public money, new private schools are opening fast - without meaningful oversight. Even this Arkansas school - where the founder hit a kid, urged other kids to do the same, and stayed involved in the school's administration from JAIL - is still supported by taxpayer dollars.

Yup … technology is not all it’s cracked up to be … #cdnpoli

Most corrupt administration in American history!

Trump is reducing the size of two national monuments in Utah by 90% to open up the land for mining. He’s building a border wall through Big Bend park in Texas. And he’s gutted the NPS budget, throwing all our national parks into disrepair. Is there anything he won’t sell out?

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gave ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. No one in America is safe from Trump's deadly police state.

*taps sign*

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

George Conway on Trump's obsession with the 2020 election: "If he doesn't believe this, and he's just saying it to be manipulative, that's psychopathic. If he actually believes any of this, he's psychotic. He may well be both."

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

People died because Trump lied about the 2020 election. Will the news media expose the coming lies by a person they know lies every day? Or will they pretend they’ve been memory-wiped and that he might be telling the truth this time? These new lies may kill more people. Will the media be complicit?

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now? A cyclosporiasis outbreak has sickened thousands across 34 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

"I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States." Yeah, he's just making it up as he goes along. It's the normal Trump rule -- he's just trying to get through the next 10 minutes.

When you eulogize Lindsey Graham, it's a massive Fuck You to the people he hurt that you claim to support.

"The U.S. can destroy more, but Iran can disrupt more. Iran can lose every tactical encounter and still produce strategic effects. It can raise shipping costs, disrupt energy markets, strain American alliances, expose regional bases, and draw the U.S. in deeper..." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

The Trump/Miller Doctrine is to do something awful so many times over and over that it eventually stops being covered as news. Bombing boats in the Caribbean, bombing other countries, threatening allies, ICE murders, etc. The first few times? Big news. Now? Barely even mentioned.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

Thomas Massie: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we’re yelling ‘election fraud’? We won all the damn elections.”

Malcolm Nance draws from his experience as an EMT to connect the dots on the Mitch McConnell mystery. (And no, today's "photo" proves nothing — ever hear of AI?)

Trump approved disaster aid requests from six red states last week. Two days later, he rejected aid requests from four blue states. Not only is he punishing states who didn’t vote for him, he’s playing politics with people’s lives. Despicable.

Hard to believe this was just a year and a half ago.

Marco Rubio says the goal of the war in Iran is now to return everything “back to the way it was” before Trump started the war. So after all that, the mission is apparently to undo the damage.

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.

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.
