1,000 years from now, teachers will struggle to explain to their students how at this time in history, we found literally the most despicable human being in America and made him the most powerful person in the world
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.
moments after saying he didn't expect anything in exchange for pardoning Cueller, Trump admits "I guess I expected maybe he wouldn't run or maybe he'd run as a Republican"

The citation is bullshit. The official White House website shows $11.2 trillion in domestic and foreign investments and I'm not sure how truthful that is.
wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

The 75 Most Corrupt Things Trump Did in 2026. So far. The scams, schemes and grifts have been endless, as the Trump Family seems to spend most of their time and energy finding new ways to profit off the presidency. Here is my Top 75. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Yeah, man, it's really irresponsible of countries to get involved in wars that screw up oil-producing regions, I hope they had a good reason for that, we'd never do anything like that, no sir.
Bessent blames Ukraine for high gas prices: "Ukraine has decided that they want to blow up Russian energy assets and refined products, so that is creating upward price pressure on a global basis"

“it costs less money than what we’re doing now” is the only answer we need to push normies towards universal healthcare
“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

The politics of the future is a war against billionaires—and it's a war the billionaires started. Their campaign to destroy American democracy is an early phase of a sinister cult vision to tyrannize the future. My interview with @KQEDNews Political Breakdown. www.kqed.org/news/1209526...

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

3 years after promising to end the war 24 hours after becoming president if elected again, Trump finally unveils his brilliant secret plan. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump on Zelenskyy: "I'd like him to end the war. I get along with both ... I said just, 'end the war.'"

Republicans have been in control of the House for nearly 4 years, the presidency and senate for nearly 2, and they are going to go into the midterms blaming the current economy on Joe Biden and not Trump's tariffs, corruption & wars. Good luck with that. bsky.app/profile/atru...
CASONE: The midterms are about affordability. Then on top of that, you've got the energy shock REP. PAT FALLON: Sure. Joe Biden and the Democrats did that

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...

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Hilarious that he cited Mamdani as the most serious threat today in America to a free press while Trump sues, threatens, subpoenas, yells at, and tries to intimidate reporters on a daily basis. But Mamdani is the problem. What a clown. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mike Johnson: "Even the journalists who don't agree with our policies all the time -- you better agree on these principles. Because that's what keeps you free."

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: JD Vance’s old accusation of Trump being ‘cultural heroin’ was on display this weekend youtu.be/y2aH7TR4Zvc?...

From the essay JD Vance published in @TheAtlantic.com ten July 4ths ago—a tough-minded, clear-eyed analysis of the tragic, dangerous fantasies Donald Trump was selling to the people Vance grew up with. Astonishing artifact of the demonic quisling before he turned to the dark side.

Went down to the Great American State Fair. My personal highlight might have been this Madison cosplayer arguing before literally ones of people that we’re a republic and not a democracy.
