Jesus Christ. Trump's Pentagon is putting the pain ray on the southern border. This was a weapon yanked from Iraq ... for being too inhumane. www.laserwars.net/p/military-h...

I think the strategist’s name rhymes with Battely Karp.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Why was the post taken down?

Trump seeks to label Democrats as communists, but he was the one who rolled out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping and kissed his ass. He is clearly Putin’s comrade and buying government stakes in private companies, so why aren’t more people calling out this bullshit? #ComradeTrump

Don't download the Trump app. Everything he does is underhanded and dishonest.

Jesse Watters claimed Obama started the Wall Street bailouts. President George W. Bush did in the last months of his second term. He pushed for and signed Emergency Economic Stabilization Act in October 2008. The financial crisis also started under GW Bush.

Before Hitler rose to power, Germany had thousands of competing newspapers. Then the Nazis learned how to control who could be a journalist, what could be reported—and eventually, what counted as news. Here’s why Trump's press purge matters. thecycle.substack.com/p/how-to-kil...

i feel like Maddow being a judge on Cocktails Wars is a disheartening sign of these troubling times when seriousness on the part of prominent journalists is important. 😟

The Trump administration is considering data center-related projects across at least 17,600 acres of public land — far more than previously reported. Reminder: 70% of Americans oppose data centers, but Trump is heavily invested in the corporations pushing AI. Always follow the money.

Mamdani is writing the playbook for how Democrats must continue to communicate with voters after Election Day. He could have done the usual thing and disappear after winning but if anything he’s communicating even MORE now.

Please warn everyone you know—do NOT use votesafe(dot)org! Elon Musk has created it as a way to “harvest and sell your data.” Gross! Link to the Popular Information article in first comment. Vote Reg info in second comment!

And yet there are people who actually believe this clown is going to send them a check for $5,000.

The Irish people understand the assignment.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The NYT ignores the fascist pledge and creepy religious video from convention... egregious sane washing that spares it from calling out maddness and fascism that has overtaken Rs. Not a single Sunday host will grill Rs on the insanity there.

There are at least two provisions in the U.S. Code that make it illegal to offer or accept a $5,000 "GOP Dividend" for voting. Both the offerer (Donald Trump) and the accepter (good luck with that!) are liable for fines and jail time.

Schumer's daughter works for OpenAI. Gillibrand's son founded a new crypto exchange backed by billionaires. In case you were wondering why things are the way they are.

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

I’ve been saying Democrats need to flip 4 Senate seats. We better make it 5 because at this point, we can’t bet the Senate majority on John Fetterman staying a Democrat. Watch…

G Motors in Tomball, TX hired workers, then called ICE on them at the end of the workday "He just told me he called ICE because he didn't want to pay us" "We worked 11 hours and then just when we were done they started with their nonsense" "He literally told us he doesn't want to pay us"

“Hahahaha… we are clueless and telling the Iranians to rise up is a naked indication of our sheer desperation.”

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.

More than 70% of Texas data centers refused to answer a state-mandated inquiry about their water use. These Corrupt Bigshots want our water while keeping Texans in the dark about how much they're taking.

I don’t get it. Wyoming might be able to affect the power or rights of Wyoming-formed corporations. But how would they be able to stop other states’ corporations from making political donations? And would this mean that corporations are not empowered to make charitable contributions as well?

A well-established principle of health care economics is that people will consume more services when those services are free. Of course, this is a different way of saying when care costs more, people will get less of it.

It seems the leopard is eating its own face.

Yes. Same as failing to discipline an outta control toddler.

missouri republicans have a level of contempt for the people of that state that is truly remarkable. but then, why wouldn’t they after successfully insulating themselves from any political accountability?

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Editor of Stars and Stripes says he is being fired for insubordination after saying any censorship is a 'red line.'

The economy is better under democrats. Full stop.

"The reason the Mitch McConnell saga is so disturbing isn’t because McConnell may be dead, but because the Senate is." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ghost-senate

He is not a one-man wrecking ball. There are 53 Republicans senators and 218 Republican house members. they are collectively the wrecking ball. If Congress would exercise its check on presidential abuse of power, we would not be where we are.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

Zohran Mamdani is backing a bill to hold Amazon accountable for exploiting delivery drivers. Now Amazon is launching a $5M lobbying blitz — led by Chuck Schumer's daughter — to crush it. Instead of spending millions on lobbying, Amazon should pay and treat its drivers fairly.

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis have been administered in a combined shot since the 1940s. Combo vaccines are one of the most proven medical technologies ever.

An overwhelming 92% of American have either delayed or totally abandoned medical care because of how expensive it is, according to a new survey.

And now we have a SecDef that had to pay the woman he raped $50,000 and he made her sign an NDA so she couldn't have him prosecuted. theintercept.com/2026/06/30/a...

Reminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.

See what you made me do, on a war crimes scale.

Later tonight, the networks will air a speech by a convicted fraudster, adjudicated rapist, and treasonous insurrection leader who will assert that only he can be trusted about an election he claims was rigged against him

Want to focus on someone's untimely death today? I'd focus on...

Absolutely 💯 Agree…..

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers
