🚨 A PUBLIC HEALTH FAILURE RFK JR: “We do have the outbreak under control.” Strange way to describe a “skyrocketing” outbreak. More than 11,000 people sickened with cyclosporiasis in 41 states.

(🚨) PROOF EXCLUSIVE: I have published 1,500+ pages of national bestsellers on the coup plot Donald Trump is about to move to Stage 2. One-sentence or one-post summaries do it no justice—but this lengthy report will fully prepare you for what’s coming Thursday. Please share widely.

sethabramson.substack.comDonald Trump Has Launched His New Coup PlotThursday—July 16—marks the launch of Stage 2 of the January 6 coup plot. Its aim is the end of our democracy, and it’s been in the works for 5 years. The march toward a possible civil war begins now.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

It's so breathtakingly crass to treat the deaths of Americans serving in the military as some contest, a contest that, in your twisted, rotting mind, you think you can brag about winning. There is no reverence, sanity, solemnity, or decorum in this vile regime.

Ken Paxton just ran away from a press conference because reporters started asking questions he didn't like. If he can’t even answer basic questions about where he votes and his 15 properties, Texans can’t trust him to be honest or transparent about anything.

NEW: Mayor Mamdani announces that he has looked at all options and has determined he does NOT have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu under the ICC warrant if he comes to New York, but the feds do, and he encourages them to do so. He adds that Netanyahu is NOT WELCOME in New York City.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

The Trump admin WITHHELD that nearly 100 U.S. troops were injured by Iran in the past 2 weeks. 400+ Americans have been injured. 18 service members have been killed. It's a tremendous sacrifice. But Trump can't even explain how America is better off or how his war will end.

We're long past the stage of staying quiet while some pedophile and his Republican pedo pals are holding America hostage. Trump had a primetime speech about election fraud at the same time he's keeping a dead Senator's seat empty. It's time to stop allowing them to shit on us

Action sends a message for which words cannot substitute. Take action. Now.

I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health. I’m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health. Let’s end the crazy speculation. Just tell us what’s going on.

FBI Director Kash Patel is planning a mid-October trip to Moscow. Can ANYONE think of a legitimate reason for him to visit Putin’s playground? I wonder if “consulting with his handlers” will be on the official itinerary? 🤨🇷🇺

People are shocked when they come to DC now and see groups of fully armed soldiers patrolling our neighborhoods. Trump's occupation of DC has been going on for nearly a year — and he wants it to go on forever. We refuse to allow this to become normalized and continue to call for it to end.

Consider the logic. They didn't comply. We had the right to kill them. It's the mind of a criminal. Or a rapist. She didn't submit, so I raped her. Just disgusting, immoral, depraved thinking.

Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."
