Waiting for the October surprise for the #EpsteinthTime.

The White House is hiding a report about your taxes until after you vote. Each year the IRS publishes data on what people at every income level deducted and owed. This version is the first look at the GOP tax law from 2025. It was expected in July. It’s October. Full story at link in comments ⬇️

Gas, groceries, & now mortgages, all are more expensive because of Trump's illegal war in Iran.   From daily life to your future, Trump's war tax is raising prices everywhere.   This isn't complicated: To protect our troops, save civilians, & lower prices we need to end this war NOW.

This week Rick sits down with WIRED senior reporter Molly Taft, who followed the water and the money behind this huge AI building boom, and found the same thing at the end of both: a con. Watch here: https://bit.ly/4xGyN8o

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

No soldier’s sacrifice should be covered up. This is a disservice to our men and women in uniform. Trump needs to show our military families respect by being honest and telling the American people the truth about the war he started.

FUN FACT If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas. ~ Bill McKibben SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES!

"I'm fairly certain I understand".

If You Don’t Realize, That THIS Is Their Ultimate Goal, You Have Been Watching Too Much Fox.

This is so true. Texans you have to turn Texas back to blue. You have to want better.

You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to not understand this.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

PERSON OF THE DAY. 30 July 1958. Singer-songwriter Kate Bush was born in Bexleyheath, Kent. She was 1st woman to have a self-composed UK No 1 hit with Wuthering Heights. Bush was born on the 140th anniversary of the birth of the author who inspired her song, Emily Brontë.

Should be a bigger story— “Alexandra Bravo, prosecutor investigating 🇺🇸 strikes on 3 Ecuadorian boats and survivor accounts of torture/kidnapping, shot dead… hitman on a black motorcycle opened fire… Bravo’s sister jumped to protect her, also killed…” www.dropsitenews.com/p/prosecutor...

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

Gov. Andy Beshear is (finally) calling out Mitch McConnell:

It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.

The blood drawn by ICE is on every Republican’s hands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLrx...

This is election interference.

And so delusional you believe saying it on television will make everyone believe it!

If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

Susan Collins can't play both sides of this. ICE must be abolished, and she must be held accountable for enabling their deadly, racist violence on our streets.

🚨BREAKING: America's embarrassment of a president shocked no one, anywhere, by lying his ass off tonight about the 2020 election in an address most networks refused to carry. Trump's shambling presentation drew widespread, global derision across the Internet and a long list of critical fact checks.

Four days apart. One Canadian dies fighting wildfires in the U.S. Trump threatens Canada with tariffs over their wildfires.
