Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

Its real. Gift link so 300 people can see the source www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Trump on July 31 when asked about the ballroom: “It won’t interfere with the current building. It will be near it but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.” Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

Johnson: I will administer the oath to Rep-elect Adelita Grivalva, I hope, on the first day we come back in session. In the meantime, she should be serving her constituents (She cannot serve her constituents until Speaker Johnson swears her in)

Trump’s pronouncements are entirely dependent upon who he last talked with, if it’s his puppet master Putin vs US allies - then Ukraine can’t win. It’s not so much foreign policy as it is faux kissing the ring.

Seriously it looks like the haphazard jackhammer approach was intentional. Could have scaffolded/tarped and treated the place with respect. I mean, it’s the photo of the year IMO as a visual representation of Trumps complete destruction.

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago. The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump. zeteo.com/p/trump-shit...

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I never want to hear a single fucking Republican say a FUCKING WORD about tearing down statues of Confederate generals because "it's history," while they stood by and letbthis sociopath take a bulldozer to the White House.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Clark Construction, AECOM and McCrery Architects.

MAGA likes to brag that Trump collected more than $2 billion in tariffs. Dude, that's YOUR money he took. And he just gave $40 billion to bail out Argentina!

My feelings, exactly.

In his first television interview, former Justice Department attorney Erez Reuveni — who worked at the DOJ for 15 years — says he witnessed a troubling pattern of behavior inside the department before he was fired. 60 Minutes, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters... #NoKings

Watch this. And then the whole thing. They are destroying the rule of law: www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves. If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.

Vance spokesperson: “Gavin Newsom wants people to think this exercise is dangerous.” <shrapnel hits Vance’s motorcade> Vance spokesperson: No comment.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970 The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23 They constantly let America down

“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline

I'd have to find which cases, but Trump tried to do this by sealing the dismissals in NY. The defense attorneys were smarter than the schlubs Pam Bondi has doing her dirty work (or probably Emil Bove).

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Austin PD's statement was even more explicitly pro-protest, they literally thanked everyone for coming out lol

Thank you to @us.theguardian.com and the international and independent press and remaining American legacy media outlets that are reporting and opining on the reality that we face as Trump and MAGA seek to consolidate their authoritarian control on the US and wreak havoc everywhere.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

“Rubio assured Bukele he would get his men and stressed that the American public cared little about the fate of Salvadoran gang members.” AKA criminal informants working for the US government. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... Helluva story from @johnphudson.bsky.social and colleagues.

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

Taum Sauk pumped storage plant 90 miles south of St. Louis Mo. Electrical Gen. are turned by water flowing from a reservoir on top. At night, excess electricity on the power grid is used to pump water back. AKA "The Biggest Battery That We Have". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taum_Sa... / @stltoday.com

Short arms beat tiny hands every time. Tiny hands, tiny feet, all Trump does is golf and tweet.

I find it strange how rarely people in the U.S. and outside of it truly contend with how VAST the country is geographically. Folks LOVE to mention France but Paris has a population of 2 million people and is 40 square miles. NYC has a population of 8.5 million and is over 460 square miles

#NoKings, Madison WI

I took part in a small town protest today in very very red rural Missouri. Initially, a few days ago 43 people were "going". Turned out to be 640 of us in a tiny town square! I was beyond exhilarated.

I just keep thinking about the first guy to put on the frog costume reading the news today and seeing frogs literally all over the world what a fucking thing, man that 25 year old did more for the country in a week than most of the NYT op-ed section in a lifetime

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice

This is awesome to see!

"Who cares?" says the president about a day of peaceful NO KINGS protest in approximately 2,500 cities, towns, villages all over the United States, and in many other parts of the world.

God bless whoever did this one. #NoKings

George Wallace on the 1963 civil rights March on Washington: It’s all a bunch of communists trying to destroy America. Mike Johnson on the 2025 No Kings rally: It’s all a bunch of marxists/socialists/Antifa trying to destroy America. The GOP playbook: Same as it ever was

The high bonus being offered implies that may be happening organically so fertile ground to organize

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland
