Donald Trump is a traitor. He is shutting down a drone unit of US soldiers in europe. They were studying tactics and building drones. Why would any president not be forward-thinking about new battle techniques? Treason is the only answer. Get him out of office. We can name a gulag after him

SWAN: “There’s a scene in our book where senior Trump officials are sitting in the Situation Room discussing the allegation of nipple abuse (against Trump in the Epstein files) — not one person has denied one quote in our story. Vance said he thought we had tapes.”

We cannot be intimidated by this corrupt, hateful buffoon who despises our Constitution. Jack Smith’s public voice arrives late, but it is needed now.

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

Sportswriter #JeffPearlman has some sharp objections to James Dolan accepting a White House invitation on behalf of the NY Knicks—he lays out his case point by point. Whether you agree or disagree, it’s a compelling argument that’s sure to spark debate among Knicks fans and beyond. #PINKS

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he never articulated, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Trump is cornered — and the rest of us are paying the price.

washingtonpost.comU.S. intelligence says Iran can outlast Trump’s Hormuz blockade for monthsA confidential intelligence community assessment delivered to the White House also finds that Iran retains a substantial missile and drone arsenal.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

the voting rights act actually worked, which is why the conservative legal movement immediately went to work on dismantling it this has been the focus of john roberts' entire legal career

Re the Voting Rights Act: I've used this graph a lot to illustrate how the VRA largely ended the historic pattern of blocking and burdening Black voters in the south. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Trump rants his ballroom will feature "Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital & Medical Facilities,Top Secret Military Installations, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Drone Proof Ceilings, Military Grade Venting, & Bullet, Ballistic, & Blast Proof Glass" Dafuq kind of ballroom is this?

UNIFIL: On two occasions today, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers rammed UNIFIL vehicles with a Merkava tank, in one case causing significant damage. The soldiers had blocked a road in Bayada that is used to access UNIFIL positions.

We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oil—the Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isn’t just strategic defeat; it’s self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history

Trump is likely to extend the Russian oil sanctions waiver as soon as Friday, Reuters reports. Fuel prices spiking from the Iran war have the administration worried ahead of midterms. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Of all the things Trump guys say, this is one of the most sympathetic. Who hasn’t looked up from their plate at Waffle House and asked: how did I get here?

I dunno man, I think you may be missing it here. This is one of the greatest headlines ever written.
