Donald Trump is Politically Bankrupt. Be Very Afraid paulkrugman.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Musk's secrets revealed in new documentary www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

“The convention hammered home the two central truths of the party’s disastrous plight: Trump is a senile old villain whose necrotizing brain is leaking out of his ears, and Republicans’ electoral chances now rest entirely on convincing the public otherwise.” www.thebulwark.com/p/out-of-gas...

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

That’s not a wig. It’s the Indeed Topper for those who suffer brain leaks.

here's today's post: "the Emperor’s new wig: what the fuck is going on with Dear Leader’s hair?" — what even is that? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Hegseth: “Food and tp for the troops, or testosterone? Never a doubt.”

I visited his house in Springfield last summer, where I learned from the ranger that Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame!

Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer may just be the tip of the iceberg: the most visible example of a policy change that centralizes—and, in some cases, politicizes—federal prison placement authority under the attorney general. New from Matteson Epstein:

Voter suppression can take many forms — including long wait times, Marc Elias says. “People won’t vote because they don’t have the time.” Ahead of the midterms, we’re arming you with the knowledge you need to make a voting plan and help others do the same: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

That was courageous and kind. I'm just glad none of these kids were harmed because these ICE white supremacists are not stable.

It isn’t meant for conviction. It’s to harass and intimidate others. Plus it’s costly for Jack Smith to defend. It’s classic “Lawfare”.

Media silence as Kushner's $2B tie to Saudis slips under cover of Trump deal: analyst #RawStory

If you're 60, 69% of the job growth in your lifetime came under Democratic presidents. If you're 45: 75%. If you're under 28: 100%. Not a typo. The Republican column since 1998 nets out below zero. (Source: BLS)

The biggest problem in geopolitics today is that we have a rabid baboon at the center of it. The NATO Summit made that crystal clear. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-unhin...

Jack Smith: James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells?? The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. He has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law

Donny had an interaction with an AI-generated hologram, and then went out and told everyone that he'd spoken to Teddy Roosevelt. huh? what? his brain is has gone fuckity-bye, folks. thank you for your attention to today's post in which I make my case. link is here: bit.ly/4geDYaF

TBH, I think Steve is giving the Court too much credit here. It's not at all clear to me that they've shown up with a fire extinguisher as opposed to, say, a bag of marshmallows and some hot dogs.

This is Netanyahu's war with the US footing the bill. Trump is along for the ride, beholden to transnational fanatics and mafiosos, including Kushner. It won't end on Trump's terms because he didn't set the terms. An article on Israel's long-standing goals: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-no-wor...

Saturday is another good day to demand the release of the Epstein Files! Please have a look & repost. Thanks! go.bsky.app/JdWaMER

It's abundantly clear that Trump is not going to allow a free and fair election in November. His move to full dictatorship is being accelerated. Trump is obviously both physically and mentally ill. What no one is questioning is: What happens when Trump is, regardless of how, removed?

The Ellisons now own TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CBS News, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNN, among other major channels. They are also the largest private donor to "Friends of the IDF." They also paid $7 billion for streaming rights to UFC, which is hosting an event at the White House.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks to 'Senator MBNA' Joe Biden's efforts, Americans lost the same right as those Trump entities to declare bankruptcy. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/b...

You can't make this up: House Republicans just snuck a provision to help private jet owners avoid state and local taxes into a major AIR SAFETY bill! Instead of working to prevent another mid-air collision, the GOP is more concerned with making their wealthy donors even richer.

Check out the fees. Odds are Trump took a fee calling himself a project manager.

Erin Brockovich environmental activist has launched a new campaign 🎯 data centers 💪.. let's go!

Neither one has denied it!

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

The current regime is absolutely evil.

"Here I am. One rodent. One voice. One message: please join human Billeh for his Friday edition of 'Cheers and Jeers' over at Dailykos.com. Post time is 7:15ET/4:15PT. There. Never let it be said that a squirrel never changed the course of world events. It is my honor...and my burden." ---Henry

So, apparently you can alter history. At least you can try.

Israel is now doing to southern Lebanon what they did to Gaza under the guise of fighting Hamas. The reality is that Israel is extending Israel's footprint, and using genocide to do it. Israel is doing great harm to Jews worldwide. Anyone who is silent on this is complicit.

Iran is posting a report of US Marines captured in the failed attack on Kharg Island. Will any "journalist" question Trump or Hegseth on this? Failure to do so is another mark on our loss of ostensible American freedom.

Today marks six years since George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis. George was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His life mattered and he should still be here.

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"
