This is it, right here, right now. The whole game. All his voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election cheating has led to this. If Trump takes over elections, it’s game over for democracy in the United States. If the people aren’t willing to shut down the country over this, it’s over.

I’m thinking that US voters being “furious about prices” when Trump’s fascist regime are attacking democracy, human rights, the environment & climate, public health, the global economy, the sovereignty of nations, a sane world order, and more, may be why the world will never trust U.S. voters again.

Russians saying a Ukrainian group came from Sevastopol, some on motorcycles, to the area of Russian military logistics, blew up some things and escsped freely. Crimea is no longer safe for Russians.

ICYMI: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s administration "willfully" broke federal law by sending National Guard troops to the Los Angeles area in early June after days of protests over immigration raids.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

After torturing, dismembering and murdering 7 Ukrainian prisoners of war and dumping them in the pit, the Russian fascists slit the throat of the 8th and final Ukrainian soldier. Vladyslav survived by crawling for 5 days to Ukraine-controlled territory. kyivindependent.com/ukrainian-so...

Mrs Olha attended all prisoner exchanges, hoping that her son Yevhenii, a marine who has been in captivity since April 2022, would return. Finally, on August 24, Mrs Olha was able to hug her son. She always brought a vyshyvanka, a Ukrainian embroidered shirt, to the exchanges with her.

The Los Angeles City Council voted to oppose SB 79, our bill to allow more homes near public transit. But here’s the big picture: In 2019, the council voted unanimously to oppose SB 50, a prior version of this bill. Today’s vote was 8-5. That’s called progress. Let’s get the bill passed.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

WHAT THE HECK IS IN THOSE FILES?!

Rep. Jason Crow: "The allegations and the conspiracy theories by Tulsi Gabbard would be sad if they weren't so dangerous. She has turned herself into a weapon of mass distraction."

This is one of craziest stories we've published all year, and that's saying a lot!

Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.

Head of FEMA Urban Search and Rescue branch resigns. He told colleagues that TX delay was tipping point after months of admin efforts to dismantle the agency. DHS Sec Noem took 72 hours after TX flooding to authorize the deployment of FEMA’s search and rescue network www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/p...

We failed in Russia, but democracy is worth saving in America!

"Russian cruise missiles, along with ballistic missiles, continue to pose a persistent and serious challenge to Europe’s security environment...Urgent action is needed to close the current gap in Europe’s missile defense architecture." missilematters.substack.com/p/countering...

Yes, Trump posted it.

"Unlike January 2021 — when the Big Lie scheme failed — by 2029 Trump and his cohorts will have new tools to carry out a coup, including a massive federal police force with a proven willingness to engage in systemic illegality at Trump's behest."

How many Americans have had their rights violated during the first six months of the Trump 2.0 administration? www.cnn.com/2025/07/19/u...

Nothing disturbs me more than the glorification of stupidity. - Carl Sagan

Zelensky repeatedly tried to purchase powerful deterrence weapons but Biden refused. He is hopeful Trump will approve this sale of what are probably deep-strike missiles like the Tomahawk or the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), because Russia only understands force.

The President is relentlessly focused on reducing the price of "groceries," so he just imposed a 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes because Mexican farmers charge Americans *low* prices. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/b...

This is nuts

California and New York should get to work. Unilateral disarmament is a bad strategy.

Senator Lindsey Graham: I expect in the coming days you will see weapons flowing at a record level to help Ukraine defend themselves... I expect in the coming days more support from Europe regarding their efforts to help Ukraine. Putin made a miscalculation here.

To media, politicians and everyone else, your semi-regular reminder. They don’t have to hack voting computers, or corrupt the count, or ballot-stuff, to “steal an election.” Voter suppression is cheating. And so is gerrymandering. Stop normalizing them when you insist an election was “fair.”

While Texans pulled bodies from floodwaters, Marjorie Taylor Greene went online to blame... weather manipulation. This isn't just heartless. It’s the latest sign that conspiracy theories aren’t fringe in today’s GOP—they’re the agenda. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/marjorie-t...

What a sight. Rubio meeting with bloody criminal Lavrov.

State of affairs: I got kicked out of the meeting 3 times. How do they expect non MAGA media cover their "truth" if you kick folks out of the brieifings? Never ever had I such issue with Pentagon. Ever.

Instead of “Alligator Alcatraz” or “Alligator Auschwitz”, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp. Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.

Russia's transportation minister was fired by Putin and then hours later found dead in a park. His assistant was also found dead at his own desk. Top Russian generals are being arrested and sentenced to jail for fraud and corruption. youtu.be/gQBdnsMktWc

Republicans in Georgia are working to stack local election boards with conspiracy theorists ahead of 2026. In DeKalb and Fulton counties, GOP nominees have pushed voter fraud lies, refused to certify elections, and tried to kick voters off the rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“He’s been able to alienate everyone, which many thought was impossible, but he’s actually been able to do it.” -Dan Ives, Tesla super-Bull. Maybe Elon really is a unique talent...just not the kind that any of his fan boys thought he was 🤣 #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/...

Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Japan because they didn't strike a deal. But... Japan's chief trade negotiator was in DC for talks and couldn't get a meeting with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He delayed his departure for 24 hours, hoping, but Bessent never made time for him.

Statement by Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell: At President Trump's direction, the Department of Defense is sending additional defensive weapons to Ukraine to ensure the Ukrainians can defend themselves while we work to secure a lasting peace and ensure the killing stops.

The chaotic theater by the Trump Administration today in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park is a message from the polluted heart of Donald Trump. It says everything you and I need to know about the state of mind of this President.

“While Last said many Bulwark readers are largely on the center left to the center right, he added that the main common thread among his reader base is a distaste for authoritarianism. To Last, that's synonymous with an unease, or outright disgust, with Trump and many of his policies.”

happy 4th of july 😔

Absolute scandal

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.
