Republicans are panicking. That's why you are seeing apocalyptic predictions and stories about kids being transitioned, and socialist and communists. This the the 2026 equivalent to the migrant hordes at the gates...

Maybe, stick with me here, we start talking about Ukranine's potential for championship golf courses. Seems to be the ONLY thing King Cheeto cares about. How about a deal where he gets a little course lease?

If you’re advising POTUS to declare martial law, or use other executive powers in an attempt to interfere with a lawful election that you’re expecting to lose, you’re a piece of shit human and an even worse American. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's never Trump's fault. It's never Putin's fault. In this case it's not even Iran's fault. Trump blames Zelenskyy for high gas prices. Is MAGA ever going to figure it out?

Trump: "Diesel is really hurt much more, not by the Middle East, but by what's going on in Russia"

So SCOTUS goes against their own precedent, rules no standing by preservationist, leaving...what? So basically no one other than the collective body of Congress has any legal standing when it comes to our own national monuments, facilities and buildings?

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.   That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.

Ya know, maybe Aaron Rogers should stick to throwing a football and leave science and politics, two things he clearly doesn't understand, to others. No one, and I mean NO ONE, hired him for his political opinions.

RFK Jr. hosting a guy on his podcast who injected his penis with stem cells to make it larger is funnier than anything the Veep writers could put together.

So, an IRS employee, under Trump 1.0, stole and leaked his taxes. Biden govt prosecuted and jailed the person for 5 years. Trump makes sh*t ton of grift money / get relected. Now Trump DROPS lawsuit against IRS, and thinks WE should pay $1.7B dollars. For what exactly?

This is the most fraudulent idea I have ever heard. Trying to use OUR money to enrich and empower HIS secret allies. No, no, and no.

The scam "would include five commissioners -- four of whom are appointed by the attorney general -- that Trump would have the right to remove without cause. The commission would also be under no obligation to disclose the process for awarding the nearly $2 billion." abcnews.com/US/trump-adm...

Total and obvious corruption. Will MAGA care? Of course not, they are already trying to figure out how Joe and Hunter and Kamala can be blamed.

Trump bought $1 million-$5 million worth of Nvidia stock a week before Nvidia announced a major deal with Meta. The previous month, Trump bought $500,000-$1 million worth of Nvidia stock a week before the Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China. www.notus.org/money/donald...

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com

BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.

They’re targeting journalists who investigate Trump’s cronies. They’re targeting elected officials who stand up to Trump’s abuses of power. They’re killing peaceful protesters who record illegal ICE raids. And that’s only the beginning. They will come after anyone who stands up to them.

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.
