DOGE officially died July 4. Musk swore he'd cut $2 trillion. He delivered about a dime on the dollar—and left agencies scrambling to rehire everyone they fired. When Congress asked for a final accounting, the regime had nothing to show. 🔗 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/one-fired-...

I know, MAGA followers, it is hard to understand, but just give it a try...

It’s weird that Republicans and most of the media seem to have decided what Trump does on social media and what he says when he’s riffing in speeches just doesn’t count. None of it. Doesn’t count.

While the President sends more American troops to the Middle East, the price of everything - groceries, gas, mortgages - keeps rising. Let’s be clear: we are worse off today, and no safer, than before this unnecessary war began.

…

Democracy is dying in America. ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous. We need real leaders - not career politicians.

When a woman is forced to testify about crimes committed by men who aren’t forced to testify themselves.

A draft emergency executive order to declare a national emergency to allow President Donald Trump to take unprecedented control over voting is being circulating by anti-voting activists who said they are in coordination with the White House. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed? That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

We need to listen carefully and listen closely. Trump is telegraphing his playbook to steal the 2026 elections. Here’s how he will do it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

They told us there was no money for healthcare. No money for kids. No money for families drowning in medical bills. But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty. That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem. Fund care, not punishment. #FundHealthcareOverICE

ICE agent: “I fired 5 shots. She had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys.” 😳

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas. For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare. www.startribune.com/walz-demands...

What the hell happened to us?

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Agree 💯 With This Statement......

Mike Johnson, whose claim to fame is a ridiculous selfie with Kid Rock, is furious that we’re pushing to force a vote on extending tax credits. You know what to do:

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

YIKES! So disturbing! Trump, Witkoff and Kushner tried to sell out Ukraine, Europe and the US for their own enrichment. There is no bottom. Disgusting! I gifted this so you can read it www.wsj.com/world/russia... ir

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

The only way to for the public to see complete Epstein files is to leak it. Do it. Now. Anything else is complicit.

“As the anti-vaccine movement continues to be nurtured by Kennedy and his followers, this threat will only continue to expand and grow more severe”. You can read more of the piece I wrote with @jimalwine.bsky.social for @livescience.com below.

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

"Quiet, piggy!"

18 days before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell, he was found unresponsive in his cell. He claimed his cell mate tried to kill him. His then cell mate, a corrupt cop charged with four time murder is now seeking a presidential pardon.

Not great!

So much stupid shit happens every day... How did we ever get past the fact he was taxing the fucking penguins!!?!?!!?! Not to mention the leaked war plans .... What the fuck America? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

CNN reports that only 2% of the 600+ people arrested without probable cause or warrants in the Chicagoland area in violation of a standing court order had any criminal records at all. The idea that these are the worst people on the planet only makes sense if you see them as Nazis saw Jews in 1940.

Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

🚨 NEW: ADP report: U.S. LOST an average of 11,000 jobs per week in October 2025. Let’s compare, shall we: In 2024, the economy ADDED about 2.2 million jobs in 2024 — an average monthly GAIN of 186,000. From steady climb to sudden slide.

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”
