NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Headline from the Daily Beast: “Melania Rewrites History in Shocking Snub of Pope” She’s claiming she brokered a temporary peace in Ukraine and basically staying that Pope Leo was riding her coattails. She is a soulless, self aggrandizing, abject example of a human being.

It finally occurred to me why Trump is so popular with conservative Christians. The way Trump speaks in such vague convoluted ways works just like their Bible. You can take it to mean whatever you want so it always justifies whatever you want to do. A free pass to the worst of you.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

From Yahoo news: “DOJ tells California counties to set aside ballots from suspected noncitizens.” This ask from the DOJ is an illegal request. The constitution is quite clear - the feds have no power to interfere with state run elections. Just more attempted voter interference from the trumpists.

Diesel prices have jumped 65% since the Iran War began — to $6.28 a gallon. That's hitting farmers, truckers, and industry hard in several states that will decide control of the Senate.

Headline from the Alaska Beacon: “Trump administration sues to block Alaska's US Senate election result if Peltola wins” Per the constitution, the federal government has absolutely no standing to bring this suit. Hopefully the judge will laugh this case right out of court!!

Breaking news 🗞️ Mitch McConnell’ s lifeless body has been moved to his home where the embalming is proceeding according to senate rules. He’ll then be able to make senate votes from the comfort of his coffin ⚰️ . So for this who wish to cut to the chase: Mitch McConnell is still dead 💀

Bobby brain worms and the gizzard of Oz along with a very crippled cdc have a shitacular job of managing the shitpocalypse striking America: “Last year, required monitoring was cut down from eight pathogens to just two, and the other six pathogens were made optional, including cyclospora”

This morning's jobs report was shockingly negative. Not only did the economy lose 23,000 jobs in July — the previous estimates for May and June were revised down by 103,000. These numbers are a major red flag indicating the labor market is weaker than previously thought.

Wage growth ticked below inflation again last month. That means Americans' average wages shrunk in real terms over the past year. Real wages were growing when Biden left office, but the trend flipped negative after Trump launched the Iran War.

The labor market is frozen. Hiring and quit rates are both running below pre-pandemic levels. While unemployment is at historic lows, this dynamic presents obstacles for job seekers, particularly young college grads.

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

I’m shamelessly borrowing from Jeff Tiedrich’s post today but it’s just too good not to repost. Lindsey Graham showed Mitch McConnell how it’s done. none of this coy, is-he-or-isn’t-he weeks-long drama. just a chest-clutch keel-over and away we go.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They have seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, they've laid off thousands of workers. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

Republicans are making sure the TSA isn’t funded because Trump wants to use ICE at airports to threaten Democrats into passing the SAVE (his ass) Act because he knows he’s going to lose the election because he raped a bunch of children and then covered it up and everybody found out about it.

JD Vance’s name on his birth certificate is “James Donald Bowman.” He’s lucky he doesn’t have a vagina—because if he did, the SAVE Act would stop him from voting.
