We're putting up these billboards all across America to expose Trump's many broken promises. Go to HePromised.Us to learn more.

Trump keeps saying, "Pretend I'm on the ballot" ahead of the midterms. Here is one man's response. What do you think?

President Trump, never one to pinch pennies on anything shiny and new, has spent millions of taxpayer dollars on pet construction projects around Washington, D.C. They’re not going well.

The positioning of Trump’s self-aggrandizing arch is so much worse than I imagined.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

"Imagine a mother who would run away—abandoning her children—because she chose a pedophile rapist over her own flesh and blood. And now imagine that woman slithering out from her hole to defame her daughter in the service of helping a cretin."

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

I am so glad my parents raised me to be open-minded, caring, tolerant, and inclusive.

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”

Thwaites is a runaway climate disaster. New studies show how.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Page 46: ".. models, including our own, have exhibited .. unexpected strategic or self-preserving behaviors, including attempts to resist shutdown, .. or generate outputs that could be interpreted as coercive, deceptive, or manipulative, including behavior resembling blackmail .."

My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

Here’s last night’s story about generic drugs and the risks and benefits they can pose to consumers. As told to you by the most logical narrator for the topic, soap opera star John Oliver! https://youtu.be/TM1EbMKhT4Y

Wrong. Oh so wrong, Marco!

Zelenskyy: The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions.

The ability of the Trump administration to keep breaking the law depends on telling staffers that they will be pardoned www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/w...

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage, of a constant belief that life is a zero-sum game. But nothing flourishes in that world." — @snipy.bsky.social

Great summary of Amy Acton's mom and step dad's backstory regarding her abuse:

PM Carney sharply criticized the decision to restrict Ukraine’s satellite access: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression.”

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

"Vote for us or we won't pay Marines and their families restitution for poisoning them" is one way to go.

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans in Congress stood by and supported Trump's... -Tax cuts for the rich -Cuts to the social safety net -Iran War -ICE abductions & National Guard deployments -Inflationary tariffs -Blatant corruption His unpopularity is theirs too — and the midterms are here.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.

New @centeronbudget.bsky.social fiscal policy paper. The U.S. has 2 deficits: 1. A fiscal deficit 2. An investment deficit—our failure to adopt policies making folks better off. Fiscal policy should reduce both—not reduce one deficit by growing other. More revenue can do just that.

"When we do have traitors, like I said, it’s usually something quiet, it’s something in the shadows, it’s something in the background. It’s not the freaking president and the wealthiest man in the country joining forces to fuck us all." Full ramble here: gregolear.substack.com/p/an-unfatho...

Here’s Daniel Kimmage’s message to his colleagues, fired because their mission of fighting foreign propaganda was “severely misaligned” with Trump administration priorities. “Hold your head high.” Watch the rest: www.thewayfinder.net/p/is-the-us-..., on YouTube, or on your favorite podcast app.

The worst shit Republicans have done hasn't even really hit yet.

3X: “At birth, Mr Vance was named James Donald Bowman, after his father, Donald Bowman.” After his mother remarried, “he became James David Hamel…After law school, J.D. married a classmate, Usha Chilukuri, and they both changed their last name to Vance” Gift link www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/u...

Terrific reporting by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu here on what’s happening in Venezuela. This description, which seems accurate, makes me so sad: a coalition of two kleptocracies. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

😡 The Trump administration has cut nearly $72 million in federal education grants that directly support Arizona classrooms, teachers, and students.

Vance has no evidence Trump has profited from the office? Here's the evidence:

El-Sayed: "People like Vance think America is too small for some of us. I think America is big enough. America has been big enough include people whose families came, were here before anybody else showed up, or who were brought here despite themselves. His view of America is small -- small like him"

12 million people. And we haven't even gotten to the work requirements and provider tax changes. They are unraveling all the progress we made under the ACA. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trump-is-d...

NEW: Trump’s mega Venezuelan oil deal, signed by Hegseth and Rubio, benefits an unknown group of investors and was intentionally crafted to keep the next U.S. president or future leaders of Venezuela from undoing it. @propublica.org saw the secret contract: www.propublica.org/article/trum...
