This is one of the most positive things I have seen in a while, and well worth supporting. Given Trump has already started talking about pardoning everyone in his administration, justice is going to fall to the states.

Yeah, because the sexual assault accusations were no biggie.

Susan Collins on Kavanaugh: "I'm very disappointed in his his vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. There was no way for me to anticipate that."

I am in awe of the fact that he has accomplished in less than two years what took him a full term first time around.

New Pew Research poll has Trump at an all-time low approval rating of 30%.

Every one of these people need to be in prison. This is no longer shadow groups marching on the capital, they are openly talking about taking over the country by violent force.

NEW: As Colorado’s Tina Peters reportedly meets with President Trump to discuss an election “plan,” her attorney says the plan involves seizing ballots nationwide and discusses strategy for a potential civil war

So the mint made 8,750,000 of these and sold them in lots of 25 for $61 and 100 for $154.50 and sold all of them. They are currently minting more with no limit on total numbers. Whoever is selling these is getting quite a markup, until people realize they will never be worth more than $1.

The official currency of “I did my own research.”

It is jaw dropping to see the lengths they will go to in order to distract attention from their failures.

Holy shit — the purpose of this Trump event is to announce that he’s changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” It will be interesting to see which if any institutions and companies go along with this

This isn’t cooperation, it’s acquiescence bought and paid for by AIPAC and corporate interests.

When fascism shows up, it’s because Centrists opened the door. Centrism not only will not, but cannot save us from fascism.

We are living this nightmare because 77 million Americans were ignorant enough to buy this nonsense, and another 88 million couldn't be bothered to vote.

Husted: "I want to tell you why electricity prices are rising -- because Obama and Biden ... "

Let's not forget his staff who collectively earn just under $4million per year.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

Good riddance Jimmy, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, hate for you to lose those Foster Grants.

Bye James Carville. Folks, the old guard will burn it all down to stay in power. Corporate tools will sabotage as many races as they can. They realize this is their last stand.

It's Sunday, time to boost the market. Gonna have to wait until Friday night happy hour now.

Trump said that Iran and other Middle Eastern countries had asked the U.S. "to hold off any attack" on Iran because "the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to." n.pr/4w0HQAg

So, in other words, the most highly qualified candidate the AR GOP could find.

The man endorsed by Sarah Huckabeast in this video is Arkansas state Rep. Austin McCollum. McCollum was arrested today on charges of aggravated assault against a family or household member, first-degree false imprisonment, and third-degree domestic battery. www.nwaonline.com/news/2026/au...

He is a bad man who does bad man things. Never get in a car with bad men like Ken, even if he offers you a sweetheart deal for your child sex conviction.

How is Ken Paxton able to own at least 15 real estate properties worth around $9 million—including a $1 million property in Hawaii with an ocean view—on his government salary of $153,000 per year? Explain it to me like I’m five.

Ah yes, Senator Bernardo Francisco Moreno Mejía, another naturalized citizen hiding behind his americanized name and supporting the anti immigrant regime. I have no doubt that his BA in business more than qualifies him to question the credentials and credibility of Dr. Fauci

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Sen. Moreno claims Fauci "killed seniors" and calls him a "smug SOB"

I can’t wait for the day that this ignorant f*cker spends his days collecting road kill penises rather than adding to the body count.

Alt CDC (they/them)@altcdc.altgov.info

1/3 Yesterday, we at CDC/HHS received this newsletter from RFK Jr. 🧠🪱 From it, you’d have no idea that CDC and our partners are dealing with Ebola, measles, and a major multistate Cyclospora outbreak.

I can't imagine why Rubio is intent on destroying the ICC. Beggars belief.

Trump: "Next week comes the power plants, next week comes the bridges. We're gonna knock out all their power plants, we're gonna knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate."

FMCSA noted that early in 2025, it identified five fatal crashes involving non-domiciled CDL holders. Out of approximately 1,600 fatal truck crashes recorded in that same baseline period, this accounted for 0.31% of the total. Fuck all the way off Duffy!

Sean Duffy: "It's common sense. English language, English tests, American citizens drive on American roads. If you can't come into the country properly and you're not a citizen, you should not be driving a commercial vehicle."

A tourist was seriously injured after being thrown 8 feet into the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Professional photographer Mike Macleod filmed the incident.

I propose naming every federal penitentiary after him and let him spend the rest of his pathetic days getting to know all of them intimately.

Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social

A federal court has rejected the orange felon’s request to put his disgusting name back on the Kennedy Center. Imagine being so pathetic, jealous and weak that you keep trying to add your name on someone else’s memorial. He belongs in jail.

Why not, conviction of the resume worked for Trump.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.

Woodford Reserve "Personal Selection" program allows you to work with a master distiller to blend a keg to your taste. Kegs start at $10,000 and personalized bottles are extra. I wonder what part of the FBI budget this is coming out of.

BREAKING from The Atlantic: Kash Patel has given out bottles of a personalized whiskey to FBI staff as well as civilians he encounters in his duties, according to eight people, including current and former FBI and Department of Justice employees and others who are familiar.

He seems off every day, but maybe that’s just me.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

REPORTER: Can you say definitively that you have not been intoxicated or absent during your tenure as FBI director? PATEL: I can say unequivocally I never listen to the fake news mafia. This director has been on the job twice as many days as every one before me. I've taken half as many days off.

I long for the past when the circus would come to town for a couple days then pack up the tents, clowns, carney acts and sideshow freaks and move on.
