In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.

President Theodore Roosevelt, as if speaking of Donald Trump 116 years ago.

If I thought he could feel shame, I'd call shame on him.

This is extremely import.

Trump is threatening Canada with additional tariffs because wildfire smoke drifted into the United States. When America burns, Canada sends firefighters. When Canada burns, Trump sends tariffs.

Brand-name drug companies have a paperwork trick: file a last-minute objection with the FDA and the generic version of their drug sits in limbo while the monopoly runs a little longer. The Senate health committee takes up a bipartisan bill to shut that down Wednesday morning.

Major update: Trump’s own documents disprove his election claims—documents show Russia interfered to help Trump in 2020. No evidence of China interference. Trump White House official admits no votes were changed. Blanche tells survivors he has no power. Subscribe to support my work:

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

Damn. Now this is some in-our-face graft and corruption.

OMG, the dementia/psychosis runs deep with this one!

Sick and tired of the double standard in today's mainstream media.

Trumpers: We have done great, if we can take credit for the Obama and Biden presidencies.

Donald Trump is a relentless liar. And it is exhausting to share a world with that odious cretin.

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?

And that's how you handle a felonious criminal and craven bully... now she needs the other case's pay off too!

McConnell's legacy of destruction open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup... ...Democrats: the public may recoil at certain kinds of substantive radicalism, they will barely notice procedural radicalism. That’s what they’ll need to exercise ... to undo the damage that Trump and McConnell have wrought.

Oh, now...this is just so COOL!

We’re going to have to lock a lot of doors and windows once Trump leaves the White House (and remove a lot of gold lettering). It will take a long time, but it must be done if we’re going to prevent this mess from happening again.

This is what we are dealing with folks... #Epstein #Trump-EpsteinFiles

Would that every politician would study, learn, and then actually put into practice what delivering for the people looks like.

I really don't think 🍊🤡 knows what he's getting for a senator for the next 6 months. This is not your usual GOP woman. She cares. I guess we'll all see for ourselves, right?

"The sudden death of Lindsey Graham at age 71 — young, by today’s gerontocratic standards — is a personal parable for the degradation of conservatism. Indeed, few so perfectly bridge the rise of the Gingrich-led GOP to the steady gutting of the GOP by Donald Trump." — @schaller67.bsky.social

Somebody, please ask DementiaDon: how does the U.S. collect a 20% Hormuz toll without occupying Iran? For 80 years, the US defended freedom of navigation. Now we're normalizing shakedowns at sea? Can't wait for every coastline to send us a bill. 🙄 #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 www.cnbc.com/2026/07/13/t...

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Buttigieg: We gotta get out there and build that new governing vision, not by preaching to the choir, not by only talking to everyone who already agrees with us, but by finding the people who haven’t always voted our way and changing how they see us by showing that we see them.

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

If you read one thing from Democracy Docket this week, let it be this👇

Congress is considering provisions that would deepen US-Israeli military entanglement and insulate the Netanyahu government from accountability. Email your elected officials and demand they don’t hand over any part of our military to Netanyahu.

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)

New York City to become first in US to ban deceptive subscription practices The Mamdani administration is banning companies from using deceptive subscriptions to trap customers into recurring charges & is also targeting "junk fees" that raise the price of everything from apartments to sport events

These kinds of laws have an invisible ripple effect across the country. A good number of corporations will just change their policies instead of making a NYC-specific protocol. A lot of the consumer protections we have started in one state or big city.

“We’ve got a party that is fighting for fraud and a party that is fighting against fraud." — JD Vance

I wish this were not true, but Carney is clearly right and Starmer and Rutte are dead wrong. The US is a not a reliable ally to Canada and the EU but a very real threat, and will remain so unless we transform our democracy to ensure this never happens again. apple.news/ASlskpL5fSbK...

What kind of shameful and callous stupidity is this? Russia has not ended its war, its war crimes, or its illegal occupation of Ukraine. The @iocmedia should stand with the dignity civilians across the world, not their oppressors. theguardian.com/sport/2026/j... #Ukraine
