Midweek Update #24: The USA Is Not A Serious Country phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/midweek-up...

We've got quite the story for you 🧵

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

The Democratic Party, which has lost two out of three presidential elections to the most prolific liar on Earth since Hitler and Goebbel’s last breath, isn’t measuring up and meeting the moment, to say the least. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/magas-best...

They don't want you to know the REAL reason Social Security is in trouble But I'm going to tell you anyway. 👇 https://robertreich.substack.com/p/they-dont-want-you-to-know-the-real

I still think this is one of the most egregious acts of Treason ever committed….

Susan Collins really doesn’t like the “Collins Rule”…

If we give the Ukrainians Patriots and sanction Russian energy the war is over. In other words, US policy at present is to keep the war going. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

The desecration of the White House grounds isn’t cosmetic. It’s an act of historical vandalism committed by a man who believes himself greater than the nation he was temporarily entrusted to lead. Subscribe to The Warning at steveschmidt.substack.com.

The argument that criticism of Donald Trump somehow incites violence against him isn’t just wrong. It’s an inversion of reality so brazen that it demands to be confronted directly. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/a-decade-o... Subscribe to The Warning at steveschmidt.substack.com

Foreign election interference…

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Names have been named, now what? The victims have banded together, now what? The corruption and impunity is out in the open, now what? The cover up has been revealed, now what? You have plenty of information that you are being ruled by death eaters and criminals, now what?

Our Allies Around The World Hold Their Leaders & Their Powerful Elites Accountable. We Don’t: Woke up this morning to the news that Britain’s former Prince Andrew had been arrested because of his involvement with Epstein. Also found out that South Korea just sentenced their former president to life…

Collins has voted with Trump 96% of the time — the same rate as Mitch McConnell and two points above conservative Rand Paul. This is hardly the profile of someone looking to chart her own path. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

About to go to lunch in New York City. I will be enjoying a tall glass of GOP tears. Proud of the great work by the lawyers at my firm handling this crucial case. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

We don’t currently have a Congress.

ICE agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and ICU nurse, in broad daylight and then the Trump regime blamed him for his own death. I explain why this was state murder, how it was enabled by Congress and the media, and why accountability is unavoidable. youtu.be/TKF_nCd9NHs

"How will you say 'no' this week when an appropriations bill is going to be considered? Will you contact your representatives? Will you ask them, for the love of God and the love of human beings... to vote against renewing funding for such a lawless organization?" www.ncronline.org/news/cardina...

Because this isn’t the movement of Reagan or Eisenhower or even Bush… if you still find yourself defending it, maybe the joke’s on you—because history never laughs with those who excuse the inexcusable. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Mike is a real slimy one. AOC takes him down!

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

It's not normal to accept $50,000 in cash in a paper bag. Congress must investigate the allegations against Tom Homan (via Bloomberg Opinion)

👇

"In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Corporate America continues to cave to the fascist. So it’s up to the people. And the people either fight back against the fascist or they turn the other way and allow free speech to disappear. This. 💯 this.👇

🎥 WATCH: Alaska leaders repeatedly promised to address their failure to solve the disappearance of Indigenous people. But when a nonprofit asked officials for a fundamental piece of information — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no. More: https://propub.li/3IphLYO

Day by day, we are learning how many “leading” organizations will sell out us and our democracy to save themselves. I can only hope millions of Americans are now grasping the danger that only collective action can stem.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

WTF!

31 August 1926 | A Polish Jew, Dawid Wiśnia, was born in Sochaczew. Deported to Auschwitz in December 1942 from the ghetto in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki No. 83526 In 1944, he escaped from a transport to Dachau, joined the US Army & later emigrated to the US. He became a cantor. He passed away in 2021.

While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E

"If that means acting like a 'dictator,' so be it..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Fuck him. He’s not a king. No Kings in America. And we don’t put our military on our streets. Not in this country. Oh, and…he’s lying - “African American ladies are saying please President Trump, come to Chicago.” Bullshit. He lies as he breathes.

To all my fellow Americans, it’s a really straightforward question: Do you want America to become a police state? Yes or no?👇

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

Trump is attacking the Smithsonian museum, saying there’s too much focus on "how bad slavery was." Authoritarians know that if they can convince us our country has never been wrong, they can make us believe our ruler is always right. This is part of a larger plan. Watch: youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?...

I’ve used the word “fascism” reluctantly. I will not be so reluctant after the fascist in the White House announced his military takeover of Washington, DC.

Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show. Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up, Mar🐫
