"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

Someone should do lit drops describing how Elon’s porn robot has taken the school photos of kids and turned it into child sexual assault material.

Trump during the 2024 campaign promised to bring mortgage interest rates down to 2%: “We’re going to bring it down really fast. We will drive down the rates so you will be able to pay 2% and you will be able to finance and refinance your homes at much lower cost.”

Earlier this week, Vice President JD Vance breathlessly made an announcement about stopping fraud that probably had nothing to do with real fraud and everything to do with kicking people off health insurance. Read me @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2157...

In term 1, Trump took a strong economy he inherited from Obama, threw in some tax cuts, didn’t mess with it much, & took credit for it. In term 2, Trump decided that he wanted to completely reshape the economy according to his own dumbass beliefs and now we’re Trump University.

What is Mr. Trump really costing us? A lot. Not the least of which, our daughters. The consequences of his influence are real, tragic and will endure for generations to come. The end of my family's American story is now part of his legacy, and his alone. annalinda2.substack.com/p/narrative-...

No problems expected. Both Donald Trump & Pete Hegseth told us Iran’s military is destroyed. Decimated. USA has won the war. We control the Strait of Hormuz. The President of the United States has told us… Somebody Call Jared!

This is Eugenics. Couple amping up the libido of their chosen specimens with their bid to lower the standards on human research subjects’ informed consent and mass deportation, and what other conclusion can be reached?

NEWS: The Pentagon has announced mandatory low-testosterone screenings for male troops 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as “reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction,” and other symptoms.

So the GOP is celebrating a guy who created a darknet marketplace for heroin and meth, and put out multiple muder-for-hire contacts to conceal his crimes.

This disaster has been thinking about Rachel Campos-Duffy stating that her husband, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, ended up in his Cabinet position because it "was all that's left." The former reality TV performer has no experience that makes him well suited for the job.

Right now @replamonica.bsky.social is facing 17 years in prison for doing her job, because the Trump Admin is going after her after visiting an ICE facility. This is an attack on the Constitution, Congress, & holding this admin accountable. Join us in this fight & help spread the word!

JD Vance on the 25th anniversary of 9/11: "As you guys can probably guess, I'm really looking forward to hanging out with Joe Biden. I'm sure we'll have many many intense intellectual conversations. We'll have a great time."

A couple days ago, Mike Johnson mocked Thomas Massie for suggesting House leadership could keep Congress out to avoid the new Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the idea “stupid” and “nonsensical.” Now he has canceled the final two weeks of September.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

A grand jury has found that corrupt fascist despot Ron DeSantis and his gang of crooks “misappropriated” $10M in taxpayer dollars by sending it to his wife’s fake charity. Misappropriated? No. That’s called theft, money laundering and fraud. He should be in jail, not posing as a governor.

WOW! JD VANCE: “We’re about to celebrate the 25th year” of 9/11. Sir, the word is COMMEMORATE. Nobody’s celebrating 9/11.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.
