Trump claimed he heard Obama's event in Michigan today was empty. Meanwhile, the venue was packed, lines stretched outside, and Obama even addressed an overflow room because everyone couldn't fit inside. Mercado Media

Trump announces he will sharply scale back fuel-efficiency rules for new cars and light trucks, gutting one of the government’s most significant efforts to reduce gasoline consumption and speed the country’s shift to electric vehicles.

The president of the White House Correspondents’ Association is Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich. She’s married to a Republican congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick. Expecting the WHCA to forcefully fight Trump’s ban on CNN, MSNOW and Politico is like expecting your goldfish to cook your dinner.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Benefits of Being a U. S. State: 1) No universal healthcare. 2) Your kids get shot at in school. 3) You get no disaster relief if you didn’t vote for the malignant crazy person in the Oval Office. 4) Get diarrhea from your food. Think long and hard before saying “no” to such a utopia, Canada!

Why would the Navy allow someone with Donald’s tastes and aesthetics redesign their ashtrays, much less their warships? I mean, have they *seen* what he’s done to the Oval Office?

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.

JUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

It’s crazy they admitted it in court. The Trump administration acknowledged in a recent court filing that federal green energy grants canceled last year were selected for termination “solely” based on a state’s political affiliation.

He’s gonna address the nation tonight, and he’s not gonna talk about you. He’s not gonna talk about your struggles with unemployment, rising prices, and access to healthcare. He’s gonna talk about himself. He’s gonna talk about an election he lost six years ago. Just one more reminder for November.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Sam Alito: It is the worst kind of discrimination to create majority-minority congressional districts and so we are going to kill the Voting Rights Act. Also Sam Alito: There is nothing we can do if the president cancels legal status because he thinks the United States is a white country.

Fourth (and *last*) ruling from #SCOTUS is in TPS. For the usual 6-3 majority, Justice Alito holds that federal law forecloses judicial review of statutory challenges to the executive branch's termination of temporary protected status for Haiti, Syria, etc.: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Trump is refusing to sign a bipartisan bill that would address the housing crisis unless the SAVE America Act (designed to rig elections) is passed. This isn't governing, it's a hostage situation. Republican, Dem, or Independent this should piss you off.

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

It's this simple: Government officials shouldn't be making rules that govern businesses that they or their families OWN. But time and again Trump admin officials are caught doing that. More corruption from the most corrupt admin in history.

For his entire life, every word out of his mouth has been a lie. And the media stopped caring a long time ago that he lies as he breathes. Hopefully one day soon the American people will say they’re tired of being lied to every single day.
