Trump pulled the plug on Pete Hegseth’s plan to livestream the execution of the Fort Hood shooter, but read his post. He’s not sorry about the plan. He’s sorry people couldn’t stomach it. I break it all down in today's episode of The Kinzinger Report. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

I love Josh Johnson. Watch video 🤣

I feel like this tweet doesn't get talked about enough.

It turns out that Netanyahu was warned, in shockingly specific terms, about October 7 — and not only chose to do nothing, but hid the warning from the people who could have stopped it www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

In 1970, when the Republican Party was very different than it is today, New York Republican Sen. Jacob Javits advanced a proposal that gave birth to the idea of Medicare for All. foreignpolicy.com/2026/09/08/r...

Trump’s illegal war on Iran has cost the average U.S. household more than $760 in higher energy costs. That’s on top of the military spending an estimated $1B per DAY to keep waging it, with no end in sight. Trump is losing his own war of choice — and we’re paying for it.

I used to be a Social Security trustee. How can we fix Social Security without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age? Scrap the cap. This is a plan that even some Republicans are starting to get on board with. Let me explain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfZuB7XSFys

She was there. Unlike that narcissistic, bloated, spray-tanned piece of excrement, she was actually there: Showing empathy. Transcending party. Helping. Leading. No AI slop. No asinine stories. No bullshit. Never forget...

Dr Phil now pitching himself as a more snowbound version of Cecil Rhodes with a 6 part docu series on the last frontier (i.e., Greenland) underwritten by the Trumpy Oil Co about to starting drilling in Greenland w/o the govt's permission. talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

The only way to stop Trump’s endless wars is to stop funding them. But for Republicans, funding endless wars with your money is their brand, and Trump wants lots of new toys to play with so the draft dodger can feel strong and powerful watching videos of people getting blown up.

Where is Susan Collins at today after the ICE shooting in Maine? Time to spin the wheel for her talking point.

MAINE: “Vote her out! Vote her out!”

Lindsey Graham lost his soul when he aligned himself with the devil.I ’ve also seen posts about his good relationships with John McCain and Adam Kinzinger before he became possessed by hate and vitriol.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez

A reminder that Republican senators (and representatives) could have stopped Trump any time they wanted to.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The price of ground beef is up 20 percent this year. But it's not just inflation making your 4th of July barbecue more expensive. Just four giants control 80% of the meat processing market. Minimal competition means maximum price gouging.

Still on the hunt for the answer: How many childrens hospitals, or anything like that, has Elon Musk funded and built since he is now the richest man in the world? I mean, he's an immigrant, and should be grateful for the opportunity we gave him, and want to give back. Right?

If this were just Ketanji Brown Jackson walking the halls of the Capitol, meeting with “nobody” the day before final rulings, Trump and Republicans would be going ballistic.

America defeated fascism. We don’t need its aesthetics decorating the White House.

So nothing happens to the Trump donor who got $15 million in tax dollars to wreck the reflecting pond, but if a taxpayer touches a piece of the floating debris from the disaster scene they get 10 years in prison. Trump’s dystopian America.

MacFarlane: When there was a lawsuit filed to stop the Trump changes to the Reflecting Pool, the plaintiffs argued that it's possible that the Trump team does long-term damage to the pool. Seems they were prophetic.

The best explanation describing atheism and agnosticism. The world has room for people of all beliefs and we should be free to have our own opinions and not impose our views on others. What a beautiful world that would be. 💞 www.ulc.org/ulc-blog/wha...

Yes - important to watch this ad the R party deleted now that they endorse criminal P@x t0n.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

A source tells CNN's Brian Stelter that the FCC is preparing to "call in all of the TV station licenses for Disney/ABC for early renewal." That's an apparent pressure tactic as the Trump regime demands Jimmy Kimmel's firing. The fascists want to decide what TV shows you're allowed to watch.

I think this is 100% correct.
