David Frum Said This July 30 2026. Frum Was The Former Speech Writer For George W. Bush........

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

They literally met in the Situation Room to come up with a defense for the President of the United States raping children.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP. Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for. We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military. This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass

ICE has been holding a disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor in a camp for a year. He’s been in the US since he was two years old. It’s all he knows. When they detained him, they denied him access to new prosthetic legs. His health is declining.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

How is Trump pardoning a republican rep's meth dealer son not a major story at every media outlet right now? Given the pearl clutching over the pardon of Hunter Biden, has the GOP and corporate media suddenly started caring about addiction? Or is there just a double standard? (Rhetorical)

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

Over the last 20 years, looking at all vaccines administered domestically, there have been 9,933 actual vaccine injuries out of roughly 6.5 billion vaccines administered. That’s just 0.015 percent of all vaccines that result in injuries over 20 years. An estimate 4.2 million lives have been saved.

"This was finally their chance to get proof they’ve been right all along, that there really are evil cabals manipulating events & lurking behind everything the ignorant masses take for granted. And what has this presidency, stocked w/ true believers, actually delivered?" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

"Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people who need it" @hana-kiros.bsky.social, on spending $130,000 to burn food worth $800,000 www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

When we pulled out of Afghanistan, a very messy action because of how Trump set it up for Biden, there was a lot of yelling about us leaving behind those who helped us. Now, the ones we did get out have lost their protection? Where’s the yelling over that?

- Strictly and maliciously enforce ADA requirements, vaccine availability mandates, WHATEVER. I'm bone fucking tred of negative chaos being the only chaos out here. Get right with figuring out how to make a kind of chaos that can actually goddam help people.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

This is what autocracy looks like. The unprovoked assault of @padilla.senate.gov is exactly why millions are taking to the streets on Saturday, June 14. It’s cruel, unacceptable, and un-American. We deserve better. #nokings

🏳️‍🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!❤️ LOVE IS LOVE.💙

What’s left to teach? SCOTUS told corporations they could buy elections and told the president he could commit crimes with no worries.

President Trump orders reopening of infamous Alcatraz prison - USA TODAY Somewhere deep in this administration, there is a lot of laughter going on.

The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations alleges Elon Musk could avoid at least $2.37 billion in potential legal financial liability because of his influence over government agencies and federal workforce cuts through DOGE.

Where is our Project 2026? I see plenty of elected Dems speaking out but there is no sense of a collective action or goal. We’re losing our right to Due Process!

As of today, it is cheaper to import a fully-built computer than it is to import the parts and build it in the U.S. Just an incredible strategy to bring assembly lines back to the U.S.

First the rumour was a 20% budget cut. Then, 50%. Now the president's NASA budget is out and it's a 68% cut to astrophysics ($1.5B to $487M). Even if this gets reversed in four years, we will *never* recover the missions, partners, people who will be gone. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

RFK not knowing that grants that fit his MAHA agenda have been cut is a special level of incompetence. If this is what "merit" gives us, bring back the "DEI" hires.

THIRD GRADERS. 8 or 9 years old.

We, the tax payers of the US, are paying $6 billion dollars to house deportees in El Salvador, and yet we cannot retrieve any one of those deportees? What kind of Art of the Deal bs is that?
