Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Carney needs Jean Chretien as an advisor. Expert tax the stuff they need or at least put it on the table.

Trump tells his cultists in every speech, “we are respected all over the world like never before.” And most of them believe him. It should come as no surprise that the 10 states with the fewest number of people with passports per capita are all red states.

How do you know when trump has his grubby little fingers into something? He says he has nothing to do with it. Like we believe you had nothing to do with the 1.7 b Jan 6th fund.

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

Angus: Howard Lutnick, you suck. No, seriously, you really suck. I feel the need to bring this message to you on behalf of the people of Canada who work hard, who play fair, who do their part to build a good society.

Angus: Howard Lutnick, tell us about that photo of Epstein Island. Because I’ve been reading about your claims about knowing Epstein, and it just doesn’t make sense. As a human being, Howard, you suck.

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power: “If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

To understand why the USA is where it is today, all you need to do is see that Trump cannot tolerate even the mildest, insightful criticism from the Pope, but Trump will allow Putin to humiliate him deeply and constantly, while still craving Putin’s approval.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE. In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed. They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

Trump and Hegseth know exactly what happened with the bombing of the girls school. This “investigation” is a smoke screen because they know the attention span of our media cycles, so they will drag it out until they stop getting asked about it. Which is usually 48 hours or so.

Sen. Graham: “Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism.” Welker: “Does the president have a plan to guarantee that happens?” Sen. Graham: “No, it’s not his job…You know the saying ‘you break it you own it?’ I don’t buy that one bit.”
