In July, the NY Times wrote an embarrassing story that said Trump was “grieving” over Lindsey Graham’s death, based on anonymous sources saying he “appeared upset.” I guess Trump's over his grief because he waived the Russia sanctions in the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026.

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

I’m no legislator but it seems like sanctioning Russia would be a fairly central part of a Russia Sanctions Act

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

"The FBI in 2025 under President Trump shut down an inquiry into allegations that a political adviser to Senator Susan Collins had participated in a scheme to funnel illegal campaign contributions from a defense contractor seeking lucrative federal contracts"

ProPublica dropped the first story in a new series on corruption in Congress, and it starts with Sen. Susan Collins. A defense contractor illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro-Collins PAC. The company’s CEO later pleaded guilty to unlawful campaign contributions.

The Springfield Ohio bullshit is like, the most pronounced and clear cut example of American moral rot I’ve seen in forever. Literally asking Haitians to come to revitalize your hollowed-out community, and then subjecting them to this racial terror and humiliation after they do? Fucking hell

People were calling Crowley a “moderate” like it was some kind of slur. But look at his policies. There’s a hell of a lot here that progressives should agree with. Maybe the label matters a whole lot less than what someone actually plans to do. Calling this man “the establishment” was nonsensical.

Not sure why this is under "BUSINESS" section. This is grounds for impeachment, but it just gets lost in the shuffle of the thousands of other impeachable offenses he commits every month.

How is Ken Paxton able to own at least 15 real estate properties worth around $9 million—including a $1 million property in Hawaii with an ocean view—on his government salary of $153,000 per year? Explain it to me like I’m five.
