Donald Trump is using the U.S. treasury and our tax dollars like it’s his personal piggy bank. And just like he squandered hundreds of millions given to him by dear old dad, he’s squandering our money now.

Holy shit, this ad! I cannot imagine the impetus for pardoning this guy. But I’m not even sure it matters. Kind of along the lines of that Roger Marshall ad. If you’re explaining you’re losing.

I know this will shock everyone but Eric Schmitt is still wrong — there were *six* NBA games that night, not one. Hawks/Hawkeyes confusion remains the likely explanation. www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/?m...

The treatment of our US military men and women on these navy ships is reminiscent of how soldiers are treated in North Korea. This weakens our military and mskes the world unsafe.

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’ It’s our duty to know.

I predicted a month ago that Trump was going to say exactly this. I said he was going to try and blame Ukraine for diesel prices and tell Zelenskyy to stop. And here it is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Canadian boycott isn't a response to the trade war. It's a response to the clowning: 51st state jokes, "Governor Carney," a hockey video of Trump beating up their PM.⁣ ⁣ My guess: the consumer boycott is costing us more than the tariffs ever will. https://youtu.be/lsRhHpwZfOk

A $1.6 billion mining deal in Kazakhstan that Trump’s family will reap massive profits from. Corruption in plain sight.

This is how Matilda turns into Carrie.

Oof. She is NOT good at this. And Jason is not being Isaac Chotiner here. He asks her to clarify and draw a clear distinction. He even kind of suggests a path. But she can’t or won’t do it. “This is my husband’s home state.”? Yow.

I've been Black long enough to have at least some built-in 'yup, people be racist, and yet we move' defense systems But ngl shit can still sometimes be...jarring! Like seeing this, openly and shamelessly, and knowing Gorsuch had him in his chambers, and that he helps pick federal judges. Sickening!

Enten details how Trump went from +20 on the economy relative to Harris in 2024 to -41 net approval on the economy now

This guy gets it

A SLAP IN THE FACE. Trump wasn’t concerned about sailors aboard the USS Lincoln being pushed to the breaking point. He denied their suffering. Now the Navy might replace Black war hero Doris “Dorie” Miller’s name on a carrier with Trump’s. Trump wants the honor without honoring those who serve.

From my post yesterday, posted BEFORE we learned she refused applying for a security clearance and BEFORE we learned world leaders get to Trump via Natalie. emptywheel.net/2026/08/19/n...

At an invitation-only gathering in Italy, white supremacists mapped out strategies to target rural America while local press coverage vanishes www.confrontthehate.com/p/white-nati...

Thanks for the support, Jamie.

RBADVISERS: “.. Despite economists and polticians saying inflation isn’t an issue here’s more evidence the inflation genie is already out of the bottle. #EmpireManufacturing Pricing Plans continue their upward trend.”

Instead, the Trump administration delayed it 30 months, and Congress has now prohibited the FDA from using appropriated funds to enforce it before July 20, 2028.

"Fortune’s death comes less than a year after the hanging deaths of 21-year-old Trey Reed, a Black student at Delta State University in Cleveland, and Cory Zukatis, an unhoused white man in his 30s, in Vicksburg."

El-Sayed on Trump posting image of him & his wife in a restaurant w/ caption "2 DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are 2 people who don't like each other joined in the interest in making billions off of you, or 2 people who genuinely love each other enjoying pancakes ... "

Eric Edelman: "Hegseth interfering with promotion lists [means] if you curry favor with political masters and tell them what they want to hear, you get promoted. It strains out officers of character and integrity willing to tell them what they may not want to hear." youtu.be/YnLOlq4SV00?...

Phil Williams goes face to face with these white supremacists, it’s some rly amazing work

The naked corruption is astonishing and the Republican majorities in the House and Senate refuse to conduct any oversight or hearings.

“Todd Blanche now becomes the symbol of Donald Trump's corruption of the rule of law in America” Retired Judge J Michael Luttig minces no words over what it means that Todd Blanche has been confirmed as attorney general and the danger that poses to the upcoming midterm elections.

#OTD in 1965, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law— creating a lifeline that has helped millions of Americans access health care. Now, as the GOP enacts the largest cuts to our health care system in history, House Democrats are fighting back to restore and strengthen these programs.

16-year-old Emely Charloth Suaza Chambo was taken by ICE on her way to church. ICE told her dad Fernando Suaza Ortiz to come take her home or they’d send her out of state. When he showed up for his daughter they took him too.

I wasn’t ready for this. ☠️ 😭 Low T Pete will never live this down.

Sr. Leticia Ugboaja, a nun detained by ICE while walking to Mass: "I'm just a small woman, a nun, armless[sic]*—just with my rosary, my keys, and my phone. I am not the only one... Before anyone is taken into custody, away from their parishes, give them the opportunity to be heard." *unarmed

GALLEGO: Would you say as a former auditor you pride yourself on catching waste? DENNIS: Yes G: Let's do a test. Is $600m on a ballroom, half paid by taxpayers, is a good fiscal decision? D: Oh, I'm not going to get involved in what the WH is doing G: As HUD CFO, this is literally the job

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Well…isn’t this a little gem. @jenpsaki.bsky.social did you know about this?

Their deaths are being erased for the same reason Trump wanted to stop testing during COVID. Trump only cares about whether he can make the "numbers" look better for Trump. People dying is irrelevant to him.

Northridge citizenship questioned 🤔😆

It’s your right and your obligation to call out corruption and abuse.

The U.S. Attorney General should be independent from the President—not his personal attorney.

In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.

Every State should be doing this. We know he's going to interfere in the election because he knows if we win, it's the end of his regime.

I will never understand why the entire Democratic Party isn't running on this. There's an abundance of evidence that for the last 50 years at least Dems are MUCH better for the economy. They need a unified message, simple and full of facts, and all of them need to repeat it over and over again.

If you bought anything he is selling, you deserve to be conned.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.
