Trump is waging an idiotic trade war with Canada and making constant attacks on its sovereignty like there are no consequences. I have a bill to END Trump’s tariffs. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

WATCH: All U.S. bombers deployed to RAF Fairford in England have been pulled out and returned to their home stations in the United States as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns across Europe. Read more about the withdrawal and threats here: www.stripes.com/branches/air...

Trump's latest top health nominee refused to commit to ending this administration's disastrous AI prior authorization pilot in WA state. These AI contractors make money based on how many claims they deny. I'm fighting to protect Medicare and END AI prior authorization.

The last FDA inspections of Taylor Farms were in 2011 and 2019. The FDA has been hit hard by staff cuts ordered by DOGE and RFK Jr. Foreign food inspections plummeted last year, and the agency was already struggling to inspect foreign facilities before the cuts. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/h...

Right-wing Translation Guide: "western civilization" = white people "meritocracy" = white people get everything "common sense" = stuff white people think "farmers" = white landowners "working class" = white people who pay taxes "job creators" = white people who don't pay taxes

The version of "western civilization" that MAGA keeps invoking is highly selective and simply discards important inheritances, from international human rights law to limits on war to cosmopolitanism to the Enlightenment. (cc @frankfukuyama.bsky.social)

This is truly frightening. How likely is it that such a military buildup will just sit in warehouses forever. In combination with the “enemy within” talk, we in grave danger of becoming a full-fledged police state under martial law.

newrepublic.comTrump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us AllIn addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

This should be a slam dunk for democrats. MAHA is soft on pesticides and going all in on meat and dairy. What would be popular (populist?) would be making healthy food easier and less expensive to access. newrepublic.com/article/2065... via @newrepublic.com

newrepublic.comFood Used to Be Democrats’ Territory. What Happened?Once a topic associated with Michelle Obama, food reform has now become the province of RFK Jr. But if Dems decide to reclaim it, they could peel MAHA votes away from the GOP.

I will continue to beat this drum: this is not about what happens on Election Day, but afterwards. The key tell is her articulation of the core MAGA belief that the legitimacy of elections is entirely determined by the results: if they win, it’s legitimate; if they lose, it’s not.

This is a great overview of this horror, but to emphasize 2 points: 1) The government privatizes services and then if there's a problem, it's the government's fault, and 2) At the risk of engaging in whataboutism, your company can defraud CMS of $1.7 billion, and you can end up as FL's senator.
