The Somali guy hopping on the school bus to save the children even as Stephen Miller wants to denaturalize and deport him is a metaphor for our time.

She is also one of the people who proudly held up one of the Epstein binders she got from Pam Bondi with a big smile for the cameras. This is who gets special access from Trump’s DOJ.

Wow. “A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state governments & congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in November’s midterm elections.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump's new strategy to hand a nation of 35,000,000 to Putin in exchange for Trump family enrichment - aiding the massacre of women and children in Ukraine. This the new America - a piece of shit and a complicit @gop congress.

The people who screamed that children would be emotionally scarred by hearing a drag queen read “Jack and the Beanstalk” are OK with those same children watching Pete Hegseth’s livestream of a man getting his brains blown out by a bunch of guns.

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

"Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in history that loves us so much he can't even breathe" -- in extremely culty scene, Trump has his supporters pledge to him that they will vote, then tells them they will "go to hell" if they don't Here's the full sequence:

Trump conducts a cult ritual forcing his supporters to hold up their hands and pledge loyalty to him: “I pledge to the greatest President in the history of the United States… So help me God.”

The Trump Admin is against DEI but supports Darlene Graham to be a US Senator despite the fact that her only qualification is that she was born the sister of Lindsey.

Hitler was obsessed with dramatically remaking his capital city into a lasting monument to his glory. Sound familiar?

Republicans hyperventilating about Natalia Harp: “How dare you suggest that Donald Trump, a man who cheated on ALL of his wives, is liable for rape, bragged about sexual assault, ogled naked underage pageant girls, & paid off a porn star would have an inappropriate relationship with an employee?”

On CNN, El-Sayed is asked about this Trump post. He says it represents "two different visions of America:" "Two people who don't like each other but are joined in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you. Or, two people who genuinely love each other, enjoying some panacakes together."

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

Just a friendly reminder. If the US had taken only a small fraction of the money and military equipment it has squandered fighting and losing to Iran, and instead helped Ukraine, the Middle East would be more stable and Russia would be facing defeat.

Interesting how fascist republicans falsely claimed all Jan 6 terrorists were paid actors, undercover FBI agents and Antifa to pretend it wasn’t MAGA voters but now they’re okay with paying them nearly $2B in stolen taxpayer dollars. Funny how that works.

Ring the bell because for the first time ever: Jim Cramer is stunned silent. Just like the rest of us, he’s seeing the President commit insider trading right in front of our very eyes.

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

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.

The Epstein files contain allegations that Donald Trump sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in the 1980s — claims the FBI took seriously enough to interview the accuser four times. So why is Trump’s DOJ still withholding the records?

I went peepee in the potty today. Aced it. There was a sink and a tub and a trash can but I didn’t peepee in any of those. I used the potty. The part where you should lift the seat cover first is very easy. They say “which part do you pee in?” And I say “the water part.”

Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

The president is just posting his negotiating position on main. None of this is agreed to, and the fact that this is all he is asking for is a startling admission of U.S. strategic defeat. He is HOPING Iran will let him get back to a position worse than JCPOA.

Just sent out this free midweek update. This was no ordinary Trump TACO, this was Trump accepting Iran's victory conditions as the basis of negotiations. It looks likely that Iran will emerge stronger from this war than before; a total US strategic failure. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
