This Is Fascism

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

This gave me hope.

Amazon settled a lawsuit filed in June 2023 under the Biden administration and will pay $2.5 billion, for allegations that it deceived tens of millions of customers into signing up for its Prime subscription and sabotaged their attempts to cancel it.

If you get your insurance through ACA Marketplace(as 20 million Americans do) your premiums will double next year unless Democrats are able to secure an extension for subsidies and other health programs that were cut in the budget Republicans passed earlier this year.

The corruption continues.

Another lawyer associated with Trump has been disbarred.

US farmers need help but help is no where to be found.

There is something magical about finding a mushroom in the woods, as if nature left you a secret gift. 💚

Today in Politics, Bulletin 210. I try to make them all really good, but this is better than most. Everything you need to know about what happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Unreal: The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia has now resigned after Trump threatened to fire him for failing to find sufficient evidence to prosecute NY AG Letitia James. Reupping this piece/thread on how appallingly corrupt this all is:

When will they open their eyes.

Give Victor, not Charlie Kirk, a medal.

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed. Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing. Both sides!

MAGA were salivating for a Black, lesbian, Harris-voting, Planned Parenthood donating, "they/them" pronoun using, trans-woman to be Charlie Kirk's killer. They are pissed, because the actual killer is a white, straight, gun-toting Mormon, from a red state, with a Republican family, and a cop dad.

"'My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump …. Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.'"

"A convicted New York drug dealer whose federal prison sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump has been found guilty of violating the terms of his release after being arrested and charged in connection with several recent crimes..." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead. Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

The Murdoch Settlement reminds me of my favorite thing in the family's battle: the transcript of Rupert's attorney trying to undermine son James' ability to run Fox News by pointing out that he didn't understand Fox News' business model was telling viewers what they wanted to hear, not the truth.

Speaking for us all:

Gavin Newsom is doing a great job mocking Trump. Loving it.

Epstein accuser Maria Farmer on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I’ve never met a more predatory, terrifying human being in my entire life. She’s a very dangerous person. The woman is not a victim, she’s a victimizer.” via @msnbc.com (ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social)

I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Donald Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared. -- Great idea from Morgan Freeman, on X

"Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter," Taylor writes. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

America has the most corrupt political system in the Western world.

Not only has no other president sued before, but no other president was involved in >4,000 lawsuits before entering office, often over his refusal to pay in accordance with contracts he signed

😎🌵🪴 OK, one more and then...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fuentes is a bad guy … but he’s not wrong.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God."

This part can’t be repeated enough. Does anyone actually think this was a coincidence?
