It’s not Alzheimers. Its much worse open.substack.com/pub/frankgeo...

How it started: Trump promised cheaper everything on Day One. How it’s going: Nearly a year later, prices are higher, nothing is cheaper, and Trump is on a blame-tour calling affordability a “scam.”

BREAKING: Albuquerque's Democratic Mayor Tim Keller has won his reelection bid. Immigration emerged as one key contrast in this race. Keller earlier this year issued an executive order limiting local collaboration with ICE, while challenger Darren White said he'd roll it back.

It just keeps getting worse.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee. But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

Kind of perfect that this is happening even as Trump is rambling like a crazed lunatic about immigrants from hellhole countries. Keep talking, Donnie. Just pissing away all those 2024 gains.

BREAKING: Democrat Eric Gisler has won the GA HD-121 special election, Decision Desk HQ projects, flipping the seat from red to blue Just last year, Gisler lost this district by 22 points. The district was Trump +12 in 2024.

WSJ story on pardon of Honduras' drug-trafficker ex-president notes his role in “Próspera, a libertarian ‘startup city’ backed by Silicon Valley investors including Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen.” “A Thiel spokesman said Thiel wasn’t involved in the pardon.” 🎁 link: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

#ProudBlue Once a liar, always a liar 🤥

The singular city of Nashville falls into THREE districts. Not Nashville and suburbs, like they do to Memphis to dilute its votes, ACTUAL LITERAL DOWNTOWN STATE CAPITOL NASHVILLE, the courthouse is in TN-7 and the capitol building is in TN-5 and the registrar is in TN-6

“Get insurance companies out of it. We don’t need a middle man. They’re like the mob, taking their cut off the top.” @RepTimBurchett unwittingly makes the case for MEDICARE FOR ALL as Republicans flail for a way to deal with skyrocketing health care costs. (H/T @PabloReports)

The Fyre Festival Administration proceeds apace.

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Bingo

He's going to kill so many people and we're powerless to stop it. One of the most vile humans currently wandering around this watery rock.

I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

Welp. This sounds bad.

Man, whatever's in those files, it must be pretty horrible

"Tuesday’s pagan feast was ultimately a celebration of denial — denial that their guest of honor was a murderer.... And denial that their 21st century gilded age is about to crash down on them faster than the rubble of the East Wing outside their window."

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

Trump, Putin, the Internet, social media, democracy, AI, climate change, and basically the history of the last decade - loved this conversation with @jonfavs.bsky.social on Offline.

Reuters has confirmed that President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy Steve Witkoff held a private meeting in Miami with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy to help shape the new "peace plan" for Ukraine. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

When you’re crushing so hard you start dressing like them

Rupert Murdoch admits in new Dominion filing that Fox knew election fraud conspiracy theories were all lies it spread for profit | Media Matters for America https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/rupert-murdoch-admits-new-dominion-filing-fox-knew-election-fraud-conspiracy-theories-were

Well this should be fun

Trump said today that "Zelenskyy could fight his little heart out" about Trump's Ukraine surrender plan, and just a few hours later Rubio is saying it's not a U.S. plan at all. Clownish does not even begin to describe this regime. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

The last few hours have proven 2 terrible things. First, the US and Russian governments are so close that the US government takes large parts of Russian proposals and passes them off as their own, and second that some people are so desperate to exonerate Trump that they act like this a good thing.

In 11 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene will turn 62 and start living with a basic income floor for the rest of her life of about $1,230 a month, thanks to having served 5 years in Congress. 5 years ago, her net worth was around $700k. It's now around $22 million. Just some facts to know.

This entire asinine exercise since "Liberation Day" has been nothing more than a scam to generate insider information so Trump's friends and family can get rich shorting stocks. #DonTheCon

🚨 👇🏽One low key brilliant savage underappreciated move was @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social turning Trump into an FDR fan and making him appreciate the New Deal and how government helping people is good actually

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

I am LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY at this meeting! Republican campaign consultants built their entire midterm strategy around making Mamdani into the devil incarnate and the face of Democratic Party, then Trump slobbers all over him today in the Oval!

Trump gets: $5 billion in crypto deals, a $400 million plane, a $300 million ballroom, millions in deals from Facebook, Amazon, CBS.  Everyone else gets: higher prices for health care, electricity, and groceries.   Corruption, plain and simple.

This is not about crafting good regulation, it is about control of laws by big tech who bought a coin-op president. Also Congress already rejected this www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Christianity Today is an influential magazine in Evangelical circles, and it's a noteworthy signpost that they're doing stories like this because it's the kind of story that pops bubbles.
