CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Periodic reminder that the media loudly demanded DETAILED POLICY PLANS (TM) from Kamala Harris while gramps over here is just riffing on asses from behind the seal of the President of the United States. Just a daily embarrassment but this is gold for the media 🙄

Elon Musk singlehandedly makes the case for a billionaire's tax. Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in American history. Musk poured at least $446mn of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, designed to insure continued Republican control of Congress.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

What kind of US secretary of defense shits on US allies every time he appears before the camera? Pete Hegseth does. Because he understands his mission is to insure there are no US allies anywhere in the world... except Russia www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The most sickening thing is not that Elon Musk is pumping hundreds of millions into the midterm elections. The most sickening thing is that this doesn't make even a dent on his grotesque fortune, which means he will continue to abuse the power his wealth provides him.

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Decades ago they joked that there was no more dangerous place to stand in Washington DC than right between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera. But for some reason this schmuck can’t work up a press release for a Democratic member of Congress being persecuted by the president.

Truthout@truthout.org

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.

Christians ALWAYS look for ways to limit the rights of people who don’t share their faith. Alito is exactly why we need a wall between church and state. Because of people who believe that their church’s rights are more important than human rights.

TSA says it is removing chairs at document checks in airports, requiring staff to stand for their shift. TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.
