From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Trump during the 2024 campaign promised to bring mortgage interest rates down to 2%: “We’re going to bring it down really fast. We will drive down the rates so you will be able to pay 2% and you will be able to finance and refinance your homes at much lower cost.”

they are going to come for your contraception, it is literally only a matter of time. I just replaced my IUD and if you think any of the long-term methods of contraception would be a good fit for you and/or your partner, now is the time to do it

MURRAY: The Trump admin falsely labeled birth control as abortion. Do you agree that an IUD is an abortifacient? OVERTON: If confirmed, I'll be fully briefed M: That's not an answer. The prospect of an FDA commissioner who doesn't know that birth control isn't an abortion is deeply alarming O: 😊

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

I'm old enough to remember that time a Democratic senate, in the middle of a Democratic president's reelection campaign, ordered a bipartisan investigation of the president's brother's receipt of $200,000 from the Libyan government. {gift link: www.nytimes.com/1980/07/25/a...

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and the Lancaster County coroner agree: An infant died of measles in the state, the first confirmed death in 35 years. Shapiro took a jab at Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who said last week his staff might have fabricated the death to make Kennedy look bad.

I think what Duffy is talking about is Zeldin killed the "start stop" regs that had car engines shut off while idling at red lights to curb emissions -- but he's an idiot who got his job because Trump liked his Fox hits, so thinks Zeldin got rid of push-button ignition. www.epa.gov/newsreleases...

Sean Duffy: "You know the stop/start button on your car? I hate that thing. Thank you Lee Zeldin! He's gotten rid of it and the first cars without the stop/start button are rolling off the line."

Canada's largest ice cream company used to source its fruits and nuts from U.S. suppliers — some for over 30 YEARS. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products. So, what did Chapman's do? They called Italy. They called Spain. They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.

Random reminder that the GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — while making cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Today Hasan said he will explore legal action, and he absolutely should. That Jennings said this on Salem Media’s airwaves, known to be an Israel propaganda project run by Trump’s ex campaign manager, makes it even more worth doing.

No pharmaceutical company will spend the billions required to appease this President’s incoherent call to split the MMR vaccine into three on a whim. In 2 years, the EO expires. And it has no teeth. This is theater at a time when people need real substantive leadership.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Atlantic: Raytheon and Lockheed, makers of Patriot, justify their concerns with intellectual property theft and technology transfer, but what they are really worried about is that Ukrainians will find a way to improve Patriot and produce it faster and for much less money than they do in US.

Just because a president can control DOJ does not mean he should. Since Watergate, America has prized a Justice Department that is independent from partisan politics. Trump and Blanche have upended that fidelity to the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/08/u...

Republican primary voters are so racist that a guy named Tom Smith who DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE is going to defeat Trump’s endorsed candidate because his name is Amir Hassan.
