Don't think for a nanosecond that with the grossly-bloated Pentagon budget – now over a trillion dollars – that Trump-Hegseth, et. al., are spending it all on defense and war materials. We'd be naïve AF to believe they're not pocketing a few billion for themselves.

When Dems attack Trump's corruption, is that "leftist" or "moderate"? It's neither. People need to stop trying to map everything on to these ludicrously simplistic little templates, which are just designed to facilitate factional infighting and build online followings.

My main wish for politics is that people would spend less time fighting people who aren't the fascists literally destroying the country as we speak and more time fighting the fascists who are literally destroying the country as we speak.

As a core value, we can prioritize truth or force balance. You have to choose. I strongly come down on the side of truth. I do not think true and false, honesty and lying, should be treated as equal, deserving equal respect and prominence. Many American elites think the opposite. And here we are.

The Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.

Americans are waking up to average gas prices that for the 2nd time in 2026 have reached $4 per gallon- the first time in history that prices have for a second time in the same year reached $4- the same holds true for diesel- never before has diesel hit $5/gal twice in a year.

This administration lacks basic economic understanding. They took an economy that was flourishing and are inflicting damage on every participant in the economy that are not wealthy. I don’t mean upper class, I mean exclusive, upper class. Reverse Robin Hood. Helping remove the middle class.

Fine print time: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security — all real, all narrower than advertised, and all expire at the end of 2028.⁣ ⁣ The tax cuts for wealthy families in the same bill?

It's helpful that Trump's polling is in the toilet But if Democrats and independents don't turn out in massive numbers to vote against him-and thoroughly reject his MAGA ideology-then it means nothing Leave nothing to chance Check your registration Vote early, if possible Let's end this nightmare

👀 Thom Hartmann, the historian & @hartmannreport.com host, has put on his deerstalker and discovered that the #CitizensUnited decision was based on the fraudulent reporting of a key Supreme Court case way back in 1886. gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/thom-hartm...

The Electoral Roll Tampering Trump Left Out: His Own emptywheel.net/2026/07/20/t...

Here's the thing: these programs were created for a reason. It shouldn't take thousands sick and scores hospitalized to understand why public health programs are needed. But, alas, we seem determined to touch the stove twice to remember how it feels to be burned.

This is 19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales. The North Texas resident was one of three U.S. service members killed in action during an Iranian retaliatory attack on a base in Jordan.

So the CEO of Taylor Farms is a big donor to Donald Trump. His company was identified as being responsible for the parasite on the lettuce. Now suddenly, the FDA is sorry, but they made a mistake??? It never ceases to amaze me the myriad of ways in which this regime is corrupt.

To construct an argument that Trump should control US elections at the federal level, Trump releases new, declassified information about election interference… which reveals Russia interfered to get him elected in 2020 — what Trump has denied for years. Whoooops. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

It's pretty wild that the MAGA base, and much of legacy media, has so internalized *the Russia hoax* that Trump felt comfortable releasing evidence that RU attempted to help him, again, in 2020. It's barely getting covered and no one really cares that they did it.

A German economist during a visit to Australia in 1935: “It was decided that there should be one party in our country. It is not a dictatorship but a matter of trust.”

Editor Commentary: Ohio voter power has been assaulted for half a decade because politicians won’t admit Trump lost ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/07/16/o...

Opinion | It’s sad to see young people wasting their money on lattes and avocado toast instead of giving it to the president to receive advance warning that he’s about to manipulate the stock market.

In case it wasn't yet clear, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have no qualms about sacrificing your children in a stupid war in Iran. They don't care. They view your children as cannon fodder in service to Trump's narcissism and never-ending incompetence.

I wasn’t ready for this. ☠️ 😭 Low T Pete will never live this down.

The Alabama Senator who lives in Florida has thoughts about the legitimacy of various Senators.

People ask me this all the time, and it’s the right question. Why would billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, who has never done any public service (except DOGE, from which he was fired), moved his business and jobs to Texas, declares that Ohio isn’t the best state, 1/

This is the real fruit of the 60-year RW propaganda war against Democrats & RW domination of media: no matter how bad & obviously a Republican fucks up, no matter how low their approval dips, people still don't like the other party, the one that keeps repairing the country after GOP fuckups.

Hunter Biden responded to Donald Trump’s speech with a statement noting that Trump’s own newly declassified documents undermine years of false claims about the Biden family:

Democrats who are skittish about reforming and regulating the Supreme Court need to get with the times. The public sees the Roberts Six for what they are.

NEW: Governor Andy Beshear says he got calls from two different non-state agencies saying McConnell had died. This was before the "proof of life" photo was shared by McConnell's team. newrepublic.com/post/213199/...

How on earth has one of the most senior US Senators been in the hospital for a month, and we have no way to confidently ascertain that he’s alive?

Remember back in 2020 when we found out about Trump's secret bank account in China, and that China's biggest state-controlled bank had rented out three floors in Trump Tower? I sure do. Interesting timing given his lies about China interfering in the 2020 election. www.nytimes.com/2020/10/20/u...

If Mitch McConnell looked and felt so good almost a week ago, he must be just about ready to return to work and appear on video, right?

The constitution provides that states run elections. The federal govt does not. There is no legal authority for Mullin to take over elections, issue mandates & rules, or threaten elections officials with prison for failure to comply with unlawful orders. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump's documents, which he claimed would prove China helped steal the 2020 election, instead reinforced that Russia worked to damage Biden and help Trump. He tried to expose a conspiracy against himself and accidentally published more evidence that Putin was on his side.

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer describes meeting with Todd Blanche, Trump's AG nominee: "[I'm] confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation. ... I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

He's not trying to find anything. He's trying to create a cloud of doubt to use as cover to tamper with the outcome of the 2026 election. A pretext to justify his next coup attempt.

Trump: "Mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt" (Trump has voted by mail multiple times in Florida)

JD Vance requested the Secret Service take his young son across town for a golf lesson via military helicopter. www.al.com/politics/202...

Former Pardon Attorney: 2 days after Mr. Blanche was confirmed as Deputy AG, he fired me from my position as a pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend. Blanche sent US Marshals to my home in an effort to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress.

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

Timothy Donahue the ICE Nazi Agent who killed an innocent young father in Maine, is already known as racist bigot who beating and pointed a gun on a handcuffed Man in Evanston/Chicago January 2026.

Something I find pretty funny is when the right acts like AOC is some kind of ultra woke elitist. She’s not. badfaithtimes.com/bread-and-bu...

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.

You’re the governor. Go visit him in the hospital.

Phil Gordon was the national security advisor to Kamala Harris. If things were different, he possibly would’ve been the national security adviser now. Please read his analysis of the Iran war.
