The High School Gym where the Trump Rally was held last night only holds 4500-5000 people. Was it even full?

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

For Democrats, being credibly accused of committing sexual assault is a red line that disqualifies potential political candidates. For Republicans, it is a job qualification.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

👀"Travelers booking summer flights are in for a sticker shock — and airlines are warning it could get worse. Summer domestic roundtrip airfare prices are up 27% compared to last year, and flights to Europe are even higher — up 45% to London ..." @semafor.com Trump ruining summer.

One day, the sycophants will be gone, and the new players will not have such a hard on for this convicted criminal. Only then will we be able to rebuild this grand experiment called the United States.

Trump’s “made in America” smart phone isn’t going to be made in America. It might not ever be made at all. And they aren’t offering refunds. Go figure. I love this for all the idiots that preordered one.

This!

One must fully understand that the Virginia Supreme Court ruling is not simply overruling the voters based on a technicality--it is overruling the voters on a technicality THAT THEY LITERALLY JUST INVENTED FOR THIS PURPOSE AND EXISTS NOWHERE ELSE IN VIRGINIA OR FEDERAL LAW

The three dissenting justices have the goods: "...today the majority has broadened the meaning of the word 'election,' as used in the Virginia Constitution, to include the early voting period. This is in direct conflict with how both Virginia and federal law define an election."

The Virginia Supreme Court has set the stage for every Republican that loses in the 2026 midterms to challenge the results and have them overturned. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Just a hunch, but I suspect that the gasoline mixture at the pump these days is containing more ethanol than advertised. MPG on both of my vehicles is way down recently.

Former FBI agent on the Powell case: "Prosecutors don’t usually charge unless they’re ready to go to trial immediately. What we’re seeing now feels like charging—or investigating—just to generate attention. So it’s not surprising when cases like this fall apart.”

Once again: if you are attending tomorrow's White House Correspondents Dinner and you are not planning to actively protest the presence of Trump and his henchmen and yet you claim to be a journalist and a patriotic American... You are neither a journalist nor an American. STAND FOR SOMETHING

Robert Mueller is war hero who once recovered the body of a dead American soldier behind enemy lines. He was shot by an enemy soldier & went back to war 3 months later. A Marine and is in Army Ranger HoF. Awarded Purple Heart/Bronze Star. Trump should be removed from office.

Love this!

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game. No ICE No War No Kings No Fear.

If anyone at U Conn has a shred of integrity, they will fire Dan Hurley after this game. He is an embarrassment to the basketball program and the university.
