Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board has raised alarms over President Donald Trump's recent focus on cultivating alliances with adversarial nations, particularly China and Russia, potentially undermining the global credibility of the United States....

I can think of a few things I need to report. 1. Trump’s reflecting pool scam 2. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel’s use of government assets for personal matters 3. Kristi Noem’s DHS contracts to friends

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

Just saying, but if Republicans are spending hundreds of millions to try to keep TEXAS red, they’re terrified. And they should be.

Trump Pay-to-Play: An inventory. "A list obtained by WaPo reveals all the major donors to Trump’s White House ballroom project.... Tech giants Nvidia and Apple each committed $25mn.... Absent from the list is Trump himself, who has said that he is helping to pay for the project, but of course isn't"

Bill Bramhall, New York Daily News

I’m loving the “well akshually he didn’t REALLY mean let Iran take out Los Angeles and San Diego” excuses today. Cool. Explain the assholes in the crowd who thought it was fucking hilarious. Deplorables wasn’t strong enough.

A month later, NYT decides it will tell us the story of the Houthi military maneuvers that shocked Saudi Arabia (and that the NYT basically missed at the time). This is well done. But it's more an exercise in history than journalism. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Being the undisputed worst POTUS in history is pretty cool, but I think we can do better on this approval rating

Of all the lies he's told, the ones about 9/11 are the most egregious. He wasn't down there AT ALL. Remember that reporter whose disability he mocked? His beef with that reporter was that he had investigated Trump's claim about "thousands" of Muslims cheering as the towers fell and proved it false.

Good article, just out, from the Times. Mentions the public as a thermostat + cyclical nature of party ID. (Stops short of saying the current environment was easy to predict, though that’s true & some of us did!). Covered this on the podcast on Thurs: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

“U.S. military stockpiles of key weapons have been severely depleted, including Patriot and other air-defense platforms, as well as sophisticated offensive weapons like Tomahawk cruise missiles…
 …the U.S. has also lost roughly a quarter of its Reaper drones”

Parts of Ohio are still without power and waiting on FEMA. The Strategic Reserve is at its lowest point in history. Gas prices are at seasonal record highs. Beef prices are at record highs period. Trump: best I can do is fake rename Lake Ontario and import diseased beef

In the 6 months since Trump launched his War on Iran: -Deaths: 7,900+, including 18 US troops -Military spending: $1B per day -Increase in gas prices: 38% -Big Oil profits: $93B+ -Strait of Hormuz: still closed He's losing his own war of choice — and we're paying for it.

Ottawa's Trump Avenue received its name about 25 years ago as part of the Central Park neighborhood's New York City theme, alongside streets such as Manhattan Crescent and Staten Way. Trump was then best known as a New York real estate developer www.newsweek.com/canada-ottaw...

Whoa! Trump’s net approval numbers are BRUTAL in states that will help decide the midterms. Georgia: -31 North Carolina: -25 Maine: -31 Texas: -22 Michigan: -27 Every one of these states has a major Senate race and flippable House races in November.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson accused the Supreme Court’s conservative majority of injecting “chaos and uncertainty” into the 2026 midterm elections Monday after the Court lifted one injunction blocking Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Dear Donny, guess who was president a year ago? You. Explains a lot.

Starting a pointless trade war with our most reliable partner as a distraction from your failed war in Iran (that you launched as a distraction from your administration covering up the Epstein files) isn’t going to win you any votes.

BREAKING: U.S Judge Loretta Preska has just ruled that the deceased Virginia Guiffre’s civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell can be unsealed to the Public!

The escalation ladder Russia and NATO are on is reaching the dangerous rungs. US intelligence assesses Russia is planning another direct provocation on NATO. NATO is flying their most aggressive ISR routes/show of force around Kaliningrad in recent memory. Easy to see how this could go sideways.

What a complete fucking disaster. We’re going to be paying for this presidency for a long time

BBC lawyers are moving to subpoena Don Jr., Ivanka, and Jared Kushner in Trump’s $10B defamation case, arguing the trio can speak to what Trump really intended when he addressed the crowd at the Ellipse on Jan. 6, 2021

In case anyone still wonders how he went bankrupt six times.

Iran is now publicly talking about what I’ve been saying since this war started: They’re trying to Jimmy Carter him, and he’s letting it happen while telling everyone he’s winning.

This would amount to a complete capitulation from the US. Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

Trump knows exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were hit too. This is what modern warfare looks like, and it further illustrates there’s no plan to win a war with Iran. www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p...

Honestly, who cares what MAGA does? They’re like 30% (maybe) of the country, and half of them are pissed off at him for Iran, Israel, or some other reason. We have to quit thinking about what those deranged mouthbreathing rubes are going to do or not do - they’re irrelevant.

Donald Trump is so monumentally stupid, when he heard that the CHIPS Act helps companies making transistors, he thought it was all about trans people. And when he heard refugees were in need of asylum, he thought they had all been freed from insane asylums. #StupidestPresidentEver

We already did

Regardless of politics, we can all agree that the President should stop lying to the American people about Iran’s capabilities, right? It’s insane that we’re sticking to the “completely obliterated” lie while Iran is actively killing Americans.

In case anyone was wondering what Trump was doing after two service members died last night… He’s golfing. Go figure.

This!

Wow, gender affirming care
