Sleepy Joe never provided for his son the way Donald Trump has smh

A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

The Founders anticipated the possibility of a corrupt, venal, lawbreaking, wannabe monarch president. What they did not expect is numerous people achieving prominent national office and not wanting to guard their own power. The combo of ego to run but pathetic absence of ego in office stands out.

What do these corporate donors expect in return for their money? It looks like bribery for special favors from the Trump administration.

So what would stop Trump from waking up in the middle of the night, saying "fuck it," and ordering that the rest of the White House be torn down and replaced with a tall golden tower in the shape of a T? abcnews.go.com/Politics/his...

it's hard to Nazi what's going on here

How long until the White House calls the National Trust a front for antifa and the radical left?

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

It was taxpayers’ money. Did Homan give it back? If he kept it, did he declare it on his taxes?

SCHIFF: If a video exists of Homan taking $50k in bribe money from the FBI, will you support a request to provide it to the committee? BONDI: You can talk to Director Patel about that SCHIFF: I'm talking to you about it BONDI: Will you apologize to Donald Trump?

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

You can support my campaign for Congress against one of the most cowardly in the bunch here in MO-2 right here. We are taking on one of the most winnable seats and need all the help we can get. secure.actblue.com/donate/fwhom...

I had a great chat today with Rep. Jason Crow about the insanity on Capitol Hill. We are both former Army officers and the cowardice of the silent is as bad as those on the front line. The cynical cowardice like my opponent Ann Wagner who hide from the spotlight but compliantly go along with it all.

The fact that an agent literally said "fuck them kids" is just icing on the unconstitutional cake. They enjoy being able to play badass while they terrorize neighborhoods.

ICYMI, I spent over a dozen hours reading through Google’s interview transcripts that prove Jim Jordan is lying. It’s worth actually reading the piece to understand the total lack of compunction at play here. Pls click thru, read, and ❤️ open.substack.com/pub/wicziped...

The apple didn't fall far 🍎

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Kai Trump, Donald Trump's granddaughter, is using the White House to sell merch on social media. She posted this video to her accounts.

It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot.

"It’s a dark, highly pessimistic scenario. The possibility of invoking the Federal Contested Elections Act makes gerrymandering seem quaint. But one lesson of this year is that whatever isn’t nailed down in advance is apt to be seized at the earliest opportunity." www.thebulwark.com/p/dirty-proc...

The line Trump referenced today from Apocalypse Now, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," is about the absurdity of war and the profound psychological damage it inflicts on everyone involved. Seems like Trump was, unintentionally, right on target. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

I think it would be a great reality show to drop Stephen Miller in the middle of say, Mumbai (it has to be a foreign city, because 🤯), and then watch what happens. Honestly, I’m curious

And right after this interview with Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, Maxwell was the only sex offender in the US penal system to be transferred to a minimum security Club Fed and is fast-tracked on the pardon list. What a joke.

You probably pay more in federal income taxes than some of America’s biggest, most profitable corporations. It’s not right — and we cannot afford to let it continue.

Also this is very bad

The suffering of America's gun violence crisis is concentrated in Black neighborhoods damaged by decades of disinvestment and racial discrimination. The Trump administration is unravelling efforts to solve the problem. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Between his crypto ventures, real estate deals, and licensing agreements, Trump and his family have profited off the presidency to the tune of $3.4 billion. The grifter-in-chief knows no bounds. We must not become numb to this.

Even Fox News thinks Putin tossed Trump aside like a subordinate, dirty old dishrag at the Alaska Summit.

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

*Here is the NYT article I referenced (which would have immediately ended any other presidency) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The dismantling of USAID has disrupted the global supply chain that provides a therapeutic food, leaving thousands of malnourished children at risk of dying. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/h...

“It now seems clear that the military will not rescue Americans from Mr. Trump’s misuse of the nation’s military capabilities.” Martial law by any other name is still dictatorship and rings the death knell for liberty. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/o...

Little Napoleon Trump

People complain about all the golfing Donald does, but I applaud it. If he’s that lazy and easily amused, he isn’t in the White House doing real damage to people’s lives with the Heritage Foundation’s mean-spirited and dystopian Project 2025 agenda. He's harmless while cheating at golf.

Ugh, this hurts my heart

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state. An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.

"The meeting was reportedly relocated from Vance’s D.C. home to the White House. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were said to be in attendance, according to MSNBC."

Telling the truth that Trump’s tariffs are taxes on American consumers could cost Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent his job unless he lies and claims he misspoke or was misconstrued. It’s just a matter of time . . . www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Things that will happen when he's gone: * we're going to learn about shit he did that's so heinous, it makes the stuff we know about look tame * his many minions will claim to have "always opposed" him and demand sympathy for their suffering at his hands * dancing in the streets, worldwide

Mississippi ranks #1 in poverty and fetal mortality. Syphilis has been declared an epidemic there, but by all means, close Planned Parenthood, cut Medicaid and make getting condoms and birth control harder for everyone.
