The official GOP position on the Iran War: it doesn't really exist because it's so far away... bsky.app/profile/atru...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson, running for Senate in Iowa, claims the Iran war is "thousands of miles away. It is out of sight, out of mind for so many Americans.” (Hinson has defended the war and voted against war powers resolutions.)

If you liked your DOGE refund and your tariff rebate, you’ll love your Trump dividend.

Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."

LOL! Newsmax's Rob Schmitt tries to rationalize Natalie Harp riding in trunk of an SUV to be with Trump: "If you got one too many, you throw them in back, you sit right there, you're in the conversation, you need a ride, that's how you get there. I've done it many times myself. That's CNN for you."

Assuming this means he'll be the 2028 GOP presidential nominee?

The bipartisan House Ethics Committee said it has found “substantial evidence” that GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards repeatedly made unwanted advances toward two of his female staffers and is recommending that the full House vote to punish him on the floor. https://cnn.it/3TEyiNO

We keep striking Iranian radar, command and control, anti air, drone and missile sites which is interesting since according to Trump we already destroy all their radar, command and control, anti air, drone and missile sites

Q: It's the one year anniversary of Operation Midnight Hammer. Would you do anything different? TRUMP: No. It was the most successful attack that anyone has ever seen with a bomber and totally wiped out their nuclear potential

Just to fact-check: Obama administration *did* oversee a overhaul of the pool. It cost $35M, not $100M, and the pool did reopen (uhm, obviously?). Trump also says Obama "took the water from it," one presumes to give away with all those phones. www.factcheck.org/2026/06/trum...

Louisiana Republicans have eliminated a city clerk position in New Orleans days before a Black man was set to take office. “It’s a sad thing to see the state government repeating what happened to Black public officials during Reconstruction,” said Calvin Duncan, who was set to take office Monday.

Just to be clear. This op was great, but the president “giving the order to rescue him” probably came after the op was well underway. But he always has to get credit for “giving the order”

A 19‑year‑old boy came here seeking a future. Instead, he found a death sentence in an ICE cage. This is what happens when cruelty becomes policy. His blood is on the hands of Donald Trump and every official who enabled or turned a blind eye to the depravity in our detention system.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

The Iranian regime is a wicked dictatorship that fuels terror and instability while brutalizing its own citizens. But that reality does not absolve any president of the duty to secure Congressional authorization, state a clear strategy, and define an exit plan. The public deserves answers.

Trump is a billionaire who is trying to take your health care away by pitting you against brown people who are not even eligible for ACA subsidies. He wants vulnerable white people fighting vulnerable brown people, so that no one pays attention to the billionaire trying to consolidate power.

Trump has decided that no jobs report will issue on Friday due to the government shutdown. But it turns out there is a different reason: that report will, when issued, be catastrophically bad.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"
