The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...
Can we get someone like George Soros to give $1 million to the first reporter who says “Bullshit” when the narcissistic sociopath say something that is demonstrably false? Or maybe we just start a Go-Fund Me campaign.
Q: There's a report that Ken Paxton was complaining about your midterm convention. He felt like it hurt him. What's your reaction? TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but I can tell you that the convention was amazing. We had 107 million views. The NFL had 25m. We had four times what the NFL did

"The free press in a democracy, sir, but for now I happen to work for [insert outlet here]" I agree.
@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social This "Who are you with?" shit has to stop. "Who are you with?" "The United States of America, sir. Who are you with?" The first journalist to do this should get our nation's most prestigious journalism award.

MAGA and Project 2025 - Making life harder for everyone who isn't you. What a bunch of a-holes www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/31/n...
July 26, 2026 A senior administration official told reporters d that dealing with the issue of forced labor “is something that President Trump has been focused on…for many years.” He's dealing with the issue of forced labor-TO MAKE IT LEGAL! open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.
This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...
Extraordinary to realize this was written 6 yrs ago, and yet this country gave the felon another chance
"The ugly meaning of collaborator carries an implication of treason: betrayal of one’s nation, ideology, morality, values. It was Graham who played golf w/Trump, made excuses for him, supported the president even as he slowly destroyed the American alliances that Graham had defended all his life."

Replying to @normornstein.bsky.social
He became a caricature, a complete toady to the man he had eloquently portrayed as a menace, warning the Republican Party that Trump would destroy it. Trump did, and destroyed Graham and decency at the same time. I wish I could say something nice about Lindsey now. I can’t.

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

Happy 250th, everybody! Reupping this piece on the Trump-MAGA betrayal of the Declaration, Obama's vision of patriotism, and Lincoln's "electric cord" speech, which is worth rereading to commemorate this moment: newrepublic.com/article/2121...
Don't forget about Roberts authoring 2 decisions contracting each other- ON THE SAME DAY🤯
In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

The Editorial Board erred by claiming the sitting president campaigned on a promise to "oppose to racial preferences." He has a clear preference for the caucasian race and has governed as one who does. Read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...
