File under "We're Fucked": Ayn Rand-addled crackpot behind Project 2025 who continues Musk's DOGE destruction has "big plans" for the country

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

After saying it would be fine for Iran to attack LA and San Diego, a profoundly mentally ill president attacks a doctor running for the Senate in South Carolina for supporting "Transgender for Everyone" 🤷‍♀️ Pretty sure this is why the 25th Amendment was created

notable -- Fox News hasn't mentioned Trump's transphobic attack on Annie Andrews a single time. Not once. And they cover a lot of his Truth Social posts. Almost like they're trying to protect their audience from learning the true depth of his depravity.

Republicans control the White House, Congress & Supreme Court. We’re stuck in another pointless war, inflation keeps rising, millions are losing health care, billionaires don’t pay taxes and the federal is $40 trillion. 👾 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/b...

Casar: "Millions of Americans could be on verge of losing their jobs, but the only AI legislation Republicans are pushing is legislation to prevent any regulation. We should be stopping AI billionaires from putting countless Americans out of work, but Republicans are too busy cashing their checks."

Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Also, if a couple million more Americans voted for Kamala: -Jan 6 rioters in jail -Ukraine war likely over -Clean energy & EV sales boom -Lower inflation, cheaper gas & food -No idiotic tariffs -Lower deficit due to higher taxes on the rich -Millions would still have health insurance -No Iran war

Kamala Harris@kamalaharris.com

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

If you're a surgeon and you leave a sponge in someone's abdomen, you can lose your license to practice medicine. If you're an attorney and you completely bungle a client's case, you can lose your license to practice law. Otoh, if you're a prominent op-ed columnist...

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

BASH: Footage shows him holding a cell phone, not a gun. Did he at any point pull out his weapon? BOVINO: We do know that the suspect did bring a weapon, a loaded 9mm high capacity handgun, to a riot. (That's a no!)

Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, was a registered nurse who worked in the ICU at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world,” a colleague said. trib.al/0Yb3jXF

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.
