Most Americans abhor what they see, because what they see is abhorrent. This is how the great sleeping giant of America awakens, roars, and puts an end to it. This is how America throws the bums out on November 3.

Who exactly does Speaker Johnson think is in charge of the US government? Trump starts an unauthorized war that closes a critical global oil route and sends prices skyrocketing.

Putin knows exactly what he’s doing. While Kushner and Witkoff are trying to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin is dangling lucrative business opportunities in front of them at the same time they are pushing for a deal more favorable to Russia.

An excellent thread on all Trump’s chatter about hot male Senate candidates…

Dan Cassino@dancassino.bsky.social

I’ve been doing loads of interviews about Trump’s repeated comments about how attractive some male Senate candidates are, so I thought I’d put my understanding of what’s going on in one place. tl;dr: it’s all about reaffirming gender hierarchies, and Trump says weird stuff.

First off, thanks to the NY Times for writing a story about Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to assault our election system. Secondly, why can’t NYT say things more directly? Do normal people know what “unmediated executive power” means? Please stop writing in code.

Why wouldn’t he admit it? The Supreme Court immunized this kind of stuff. It’s why Jack Smith had to take the Jeffrey Clark/DOJ/Trump conspiracy out of his Jan 6 indictment.

Trump's FEMA just delivered a message to states recovering from disasters: You're on your own. Trump, who threatened to abolish FEMA and has gutted the agency, is planning to cut federal disaster aid and shift the responsibility to states. This administration does not care about our well-being.
