The U.S. has just suffered the worst counterintelligence disaster in history. This happened after Trump gutted our counterintelligence capabilities do he could reassign FBI agents to immigration matters. It’s a national security disaster caused by Trump and Kash Patel’s incompetence.

Corruption and incompetence combined is a nasty stew. The Republican Party.

Ron DeSantis, Ashley Moody, and James Uthmeier bled Floridians dry: $3,500 a day per person, per cot—for a tent gulag in the swamp, 20 times the cost of a standard prison cell. Alligator Alcatraz: no-bid contracts for mega-donors. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The average cost of ground beef in January 2025 when Trump took office was $5.54. The average cost of ground beef in July 2026 is 6.88. Trump OWNS this increase.

There’s a name for this: testilying Easy peasy. Who is going to prosecute you?

Lying is policy in immigration agencies. I wrote about how Border Patrol has testified in federal court that they are trained to lie on court docs & in press releases. This extends to ICE & CBP. From Oct 2025: jennbudd.substack.com/p/border-pat...

Iran is going to drag this out until after the midterms. They are going to turn Trump into Jimmy Carter. Trump has no cards. He’s out of ammunition.

Canada is creating jobs four times faster than the United States. Every Democrat should be reminding voters of this every day. Especially Al-Sayed.

Corruption. Pure and simple. Vote her out.

Susan Collins has racked up tens of thousands in sponsored luxury travel ahead of her brutal battle for reelection in November. Collins took five luxury vacations paid for by private special interests during her fifth term in the Senate, according to documents reviewed by the Daily Beast.

“I love the inflation” President Trump No President in history has said such a thing. Trump thinks he can make people believe that inflation is a good thing just by saying he loves it. Orwellian doublespeak. War = Peace Inflation = Winning

Trump admits that he hangs out with losers. His entire administration consists of LOSERS.

You ask "how is it that Stephen Miller and Ken Paxton have become the standard of manliness" and here's your answer.

Scary. We are entering an era flooded with misinformation, propaganda, and Orwellian doublespeak. Scary.

A network of fake academic journals masquerading as legitimate publications has published more than a hundred AI-generated papers in recent months, in some cases using the names of real professors at top universities without their knowledge.

NYC opened a pop up The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room displaying 3.5 million pages of released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed into 3,437 bound volumes. Thank you artists 🏆

There are a bunch of dead Iranian schoolgirls that would probably not be moved much by the war stories of a bunch of black-tie media partiers who came within 1000 feet of a presidential security breach that resulted in the cancellation of stand up comedy from the guy responsible for their murder.

Trump has been humiliated by Iran - again. Iran’s foreign minister left Pakistan without meeting with Trump’s negotiating team - Witkoff and Kushner. Iran now holds almost all the cards and insists that the U.S. remove the naval blockade before they will return to negotiations. Your move Trump

As important as this story is...and it clearly shows Trump is unfit to perform his duties as president...what is as significant is that White House sources feel compelled to leak it. That should be seen as a deeply worrisome sign re: the president's state of mind and on-going decline.

Ultimately Trump is going to get nuclear “dust” from Iran. Was it worth a trillion dollars and the lives of 13 Americans?

I think it's basically a done deal but it would be really funny if this all falls apart

Why would I care about Smerconish’s personal opinion regarding the war with Iran? What makes him an expert on the Middle East? Or an expert on war?

It’s a fundamental question: How are the lives of Americans better today than five weeks ago before Trump attacked Iran? What has Trump’s war done for you? 🤔 When are reporters going to start asking this question?

The fact that Trump sent Iran a peace plan doesn’t say anything about whether the terms are acceptable to Iran. I doubt Iran will even agree to meet in person to discuss those terms. Trump is buying time so he can get more American troops deployed.

SENATE REPUBLICANS HAVE VOTED AGAINST PAYING TSA AGENTS TEN TIMES! Now Trump wants to put ICE thugs into our airports to "𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘰𝘶𝘵" As if Trump's policy haven't aleady been disasterous for America's travel & tourism industry?

Trump just admitted that he was shocked when Iran responded to our aggression by targeting Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, etc. The truth is that we have military installations in all these countries and they allow us to use their airspace. Trump was warned. But Trump only likes “happy talk” and ignored it

Trump just announced that he predicted Iran would use the Straight of Hormuz as a weapon. Bullshit. Then why didn’t Trump plan to protect the Straight? We are 16 days into the war and it’s still not safe? Incompetence and chaos.

Trump is now allowing Iranian tankers through the Straight of Hormuz in order to keep oil prices down. But our ships cannot pass. WTF. Are we WINNING yet? Incompetence and chaos.

Why wasn’t Kash Patel’s counter terrorism group watching the guy who attacked Temple Israel? Patel fired most of them in retribution for Trump.

Iran severely restricted oil traffic during the Iran-Iraq war during the 1980’s. Oil prices skyrocketed. Did Trump anticipate and plan for this problem when he decided to start the war? Obviously not. Trump is totally unqualified and incompetent to lead the country during wartime.

He’s the king of hypocrites. He will say anything.

Peggy Stuart@peggystuart.bsky.social

CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran." #IranWar

It is now clear that Trump had no plan to maintain the flow of oil through the Straight of Hormuz. Incompetence and chaos rule in the Trump administration. Is America great yet?

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word. Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025. They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap. H/T: @BadFoxGraphics

We have now had job losses in five of the last nine months. That sounds like a lot like a recession (maybe not technically). And the price of oil just hit $90 a barrel. Is America winning yet? When will the MSM raise a red flag?

The Trump cabinet never changes. Incompetence and inhumanity. It’s a clown show - just different makeup on the various clowns 🤡 🤡🤡
