🗣️ SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “It pays to be a Trump — THE MAR-A-LAGO MAFIA 🔥 really has taken 🇺🇸 corruption to spectacular new heights.” Junior’s drone company… Kushner’s Saudi Billions… Trump’s UAE crypto bribes… Ossoff calls out some of the ways the Trumps are selling out America.

Perspective.

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS? Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Call it out for what it is: corruption.

Natalie Harp is how they all talk to Trump in his cabinet

My hottest take is that some many of these “insurgent” candidates are just much better candidates and they focus on grass roots organizing which still works in today’s very weird media environment. Many of these candidates are also offering something instead of the status quo.

Mamdani is succeeding in part by projecting joy Ossoff is succeeding in part by projecting steely ferocity We’re in a moment when attitude is nearly as powerful as ideology, because we all need courage. And these are two ways of summoning it

¡Mucha suerte!

SHOCK REPORT: Desperate sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have tried to jump overboard amid an extended Middle East deployment, as families sound the alarm over severe mental health struggles, exhaustion, food shortages, water contamination, deteriorating conditions, + more, per Military Times.

Here’s the thing: It’s not going with him after the presidency. We’re taking it from him.

Trump endorsed both Ashley Moody and James Uthmeier in advance of the August 18 primary yesterday. Both are implicated in the suspected theft of $10M in Medicaid payments to use for political purposes--basically what Trump is trying to frame Tim Walz for. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

Step 1: Fire the competent people bc Whiskey Pete is a dumbass white nationalist. Step 2: Start a war that those competent people would have staved off. Step 3: Ask the remaining incompetent white men for a bailout. edition.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...

Internal documents show ICE's DNA collection has skyrocketed in the second Trump administration. Now hundreds of thousands of people never convicted of a crime are in an FBI criminal database forever. www.wired.com/story/ice-dn...

Excellent reporting. It's deeply disturbing to witness the decline of a once-great firm that stood for social justice and the principles it claimed to uphold. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/u...

if you’re an immigrant and unemployed, you’re a freeloader, but if you’re gainfully employed, you’re stealing someone’s job. They just don’t want these people to exist except as targets for their hatred one way or the other bsky.app/profile/heba...

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.

In some ways, the harshest thing you could say about Lindsay Graham is that he once seemed to be a person of integrity and conviction.

What’s wrong with America in one picture.

Not much?! By practically every key measure of hard and soft power Trump’s mindless war has drastically damaged the US and the global economy, and by many key measures strengthened and hardened Iran — while creating major new problems that remain without any solid prospect of positive resolution.

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

I just want to get back to a country where the Secretary of Defense isn’t spending a Monday doing campaign rallies in Kentucky while troops are on an extended deployment in a Middle East war with no end in sight.

📉👀 The official forecast for Russian GDP growth in 2026 has been reduced from 1.3% to 0.4%, and inflation is expected to rise from 4% to 5.2%, — Russian Deputy Prime Minister said.

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

Sometimes one has to agree with the Iranian´s opinion on the current occupant of the White House

Damned Bluesky is soaked in bot accounts. NO, Peter Magyar is NOT a Putin sycophant. NO Peter Magyar is NOT just another Orban because they were once in the same party. For Christ's sake it was Magyar's Tisza party singing "RUSSIAN'S GO HOME!" FFS block the god damned DOOMERS!

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

He was targeted by the feds at 18. Now at 43, he's back in the government's crosshairs—for helping his neighbors fight ICE.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

He wants to break down the liberal international order. He wants to break apart NATO. He wants to go back to a world of spheres of influence. I’m talking, of course, about Vladimir Putin.

The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.

As any communication & propaganda scholars will tell you, Media outlets provide more than just information—they shape narratives, define priorities, and influence how events are framed.

Trump talks about more bombing “just for fun” while FCC chair Brendan Carr threatens broadcasters for not depicting the war the way Trump wants (and dares to call that “the public interest”). This insane regime can’t end soon enough.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175 Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

How many countries will Trump bomb, how many will he try to destroy, in order to avoid accountability for his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and avoid the reality of his accelerating physical and mental decline?

How many different ways can Trump and the Republican Party sycophants who bow down to him screw over farmers before they will wake up and stop voting for these people? Maybe after they lose their farms. www.wired.com/story/trumps...
