So many people seem to think the midterms will be a blowout for the Democrats but I suspect they underestimate how much rural Republican farmers who are about to lose everything they have because of Trump want to hear him talk about his gay fantasies on stage every night

(🔓) PROOF UNLOCKED: PROOF is now *unlocking* this major breaking news, because bots are swarming online lying about its contents. Here’s the truth, fully sourced: Trump agents working for Israel are covering up murders of Americans—and Trump refuses to stop this wartime Treason. Please SHARE this.

There'll be much more content on this coming to PROOF, especially as evidence emerges that Israel is interfering in American elections again. Now we'll have an even better sense of what they're getting as compensation. This exhaustive primer will remain critical to showing how Trump lied to MAGAs.

If you want to read this and hundreds of other exhaustively sourced Proof reports—including four full-length Proof Series books—but aren't a subscriber, remember that I'm running the largest Proof subscription sale ever. It brings the rate to just $3/month: sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-bigges...

A Republican senator is demanding Donald Trump Jr. be subpoenaed over his foreign business dealings and gifts from overseas figures.

The GOP gave its final answer today on putting a data center in your backyard: YES. It is FOR doing that. But remember, if Donald Trump wanted a data center in HIS back yard as much as he wants one in YOURS, there would already be one at Mar-a-Lago. And that will NEVER happen.

(SAMPLE) One of my favorites from the archive (click below to enlarge):

Too close to the Christian Nationalist.

It's 2026, not 1862. If you're expecting rebellion to manifest as grimy, traitorous sesesh bastards on a dusty pike in East Tennessee, you'll see nothing. The insurrectionist scum who want to kill America and end our democracy are here on social media behind anonymous avatars.

The Supreme Court Justice has reportedly made up to $2.9 million from fossil fuel interests as he prepares to vote on whether oil companies should pay for the impacts of climate change.

Obviously the whole speech is grotesque, but just to remind everyone—*again*—he won by... 1.48%. Not a typo: 1.48%. That’s a LANDSLIDE... in a dementia-addled mind.

More than 50 parents and spouses of active-duty U.S. troops have been detained, and at least six have been deported, in Trump’s crackdown on immigration.

He also screwed up the White House Patio. The Rose Garden. The Oval Office. The White House Colonnade. Union Station's Columbus Fountain. The Freedom Plaza Fountain. Meridian Hill Park's Cascading Fountain. Lafayette Park. The *only things* he's ever done as POTUS he's f*cked up.

There's a real chance that this man's approval ratings will drop *below 30%*. And if that happens, you'll hear every conceivable excuse from far-right media and Trump cultists. But the record speaks for itself: the man tanked himself and his party because he's a *useless turd*.

But here's the part most will miss: the Polycrisis. Trump has doomed America in part because he's put us in the position of having to spend decades in recovery at a time when new enveloping crises are all going to hit at once: climate, energy, autocracy, AI.... the list goes on.

The rest of your natural life—and then some. That's how long we'll be cleaning up the mess of Trump and MAGAism. The nation as it was before is lost. It won't return. What we seek to save now isn't what used to be. It'll be something else altogether. It'll be what we make it.

Every single serious journalist in the United States should be pointing out that the continued conspiracy theories regarding Anthony Fauci, all of which are deranged and meritless, are nothing more than political weapons designed to protect Trump from allegations of mass murder.

So… that was a confession right?

I couldn't understand why the FBI was investigating Lindsey Graham's death—in the absence of any suspicious toxicology report in the autopsy—until I realized it gave Trump and his lawyer Kash Patel an excuse to enter Graham's house and remove potentially incriminating documents

Ya think?

Paging Dr. Brian Monahan

It's possible some of the lies being told about McConnell constitute Conspiracy to Commit Election Fraud—as it appears MAGA must continue lying about McConnell until August 4 to avoid a new election. CNN must decide if it wants to be involved in a potential future investigation.

In 1930s Germany, Hitler created a far-right nationalist party with the word "socialist" in its name to trick union members into believing Hitler *didn't* hate unions—though he did. The Nazis were unambiguously fascist and far right, holding nearly all the same views as Trumpism.

These are the sorts of very basic historical facts one learns in college—which is why among the only honest words ever said by Donald Trump to American voters is that he likes his voters to be fucking stupid. That's true. He needs an arrogantly stupid, thoroughly uneducated base.

(THREAD) This is the first time I am doing a regular thread—rather than just a link-list thread—about a new Hounds album, as there are some things I really need to explain about it, specifically about why the Hounds side-project known as The Rangers means so much to me. Album preview below:

I don't actually know how to impress upon readers that we're the lobster being boiled alive. I'm many things, but not an organizer. Nor a leader. Nor an accomplished demagogue. Nor a partisan who believes institutions can save us. People ask me if I think democracy will win. At the moment, I do not.

(🎶) NEW HOUNDS ALBUM: A new Hounds album, DOGFALL, just dropped on all streaming platforms! It’s the most personal album I’ve released, and includes a song—“American Aire”—I think speaks to this moment in America. It’s posted in full after this post. You can preview all of DOGFALL by clicking here:

Remember Obama? Jesus Christ—remember Obama? OMG! Remember Obama? Iranian enrichment was at 3% And the Reflecting Pool looked halfway decent Because Barack is 50x a better man Remember Obama? Seems like a decade ago We had a leader, not an ego Forged by Fred Trump’s racist ass

“AMERICAN AIRE,” BY HOUNDS:

Before the end, I fear that all Americans will understand only too well what many of us already do—namely, *why* Pete Hegseth made his *top priority* ensuring that no women or non-whites or non-Republicans will be in key command positions on the day he does what he's going to do.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Over the past year, my 850-page Trump-Epstein Scandal epic PROOF OF DEVILRY—whose chapters get released as I have material to release—established that Trump took charge of hosting parties where girls were trafficked. 24 hours ago this bombshell dropped:

Trump historians await final proof that he acted on his self-admittedly pedophilic sexual urges. But one thing is now clear, and PROOF OF DEVILRY has made it clear in no uncertain terms: the President of the United States is a pimp. And the persons he pimped were underage girls.

As with everything involving Trump, however, it gets worse. It is not only that Epstein knew this. It is not only that Epstein was paid by Trump business partners to stay quiet before the 2016 election. It is that Trump is currently being bribed by people who know what he did.

What America has been fighting for a year is the Trump-Epstein War. It was engineered by Trump and his business partners MBS, MBZ and Netanyahu. Those higher prices you're paying? The unaffordable gas? The collapsing supply chains? All brought to you by a pedophile and a pimp.

Our soldiers are dying for Trump's pimpery of underage girls. Our alliances are crumbling because of Trump's pimpery of underage girls. Global markets and the American economy are collapsing because of Trump's pimpery of underage girls. It is all Epstein. It was always Epstein.

If I told you now—again—that it gets worse, would you believe it? Or would you say no, there's nothing worse than what I just read? Well then, hear this: Trump fears if he leaves office he'll be criminally prosecuted for what he did. So he's going to end our democracy, instead.

The Trump-Epstein Scandal isn't just the biggest scandal in human history because it involves men doing obscene things to children, but because it could actually lead to World War 3 and the collapse of multiple countries and alliances. That's what we're really dealing with here.

That's bad, of course. In fact, it's the worst thing any POTUS has done short of certain actions by Trump hero Andrew Jackson. But again, it gets worse than this... ...because the very men who know Trump pimped underage girls are the men who pushed him into the current Iran War.

Looking very awake sir!

Trying to understand how it’s legal for a POTUS to tell voters he’ll ensure their state receives funding if they vote like he tells them to while promising they won’t receive the said funding if they disobey his orders on who to vote for Thought we fought a revolution over this?

If you do not understand by now that this vile edifice has nothing to do with dancing and everything to do with the imposition of martial law in Washington, I don't know what to tell you except that it's time to put the Berenstain Bears books aside and start reading history books

He has to take his name off the Kennedy Center. His Terrorist Slush Fund has been found illegal. His moon mission is now pushed back indefinitely. His Reflecting Pool scam is 1000% over-budget. Two-thirds of his Great State Fair acts have backed out. Donald Trump is in freefall.

So if you right now live in a place where you can be a craven to such a spectacular degree that you excuse Rape and Theft and Fraud to "protect" yourself from entirely illusory future "harms," it may be best that you *stay there*—as no adult wants anything to do with you anymore

What's disturbing about this to me as a Jew is that I have contempt for far-right Israelis who play this game even as I admit that they *do* have intermittently legitimate fears But American Christian evangelicals? The idea that they perceive a threat is so nauseatingly pathetic

We only get one kife to live—and I'm happy to live it as an imperfect but aspirationally honorable person who will never forgive anyone who helped give birth to this monstrosity. Not the voters, not the politicians, not the lawyers, not the pundits, not the corporate journalists.
