The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Speaker Mike Johnson was the dean of a law school named after a pedophile. He has no qualms about other people’s immorality as long as it doesn’t interfere with his ambition.

This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

If we weren't so broken, divided and led by corrupt rapists, this would be the biggest story of the week. But barely a blip. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump accounts were closed in 2021 due to concerns over possible money laundering, Capital One says

Capital One closed President Donald Trump’s accounts in mid-2021 after flagging financial activity that resembled money laundering.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

Good to know after a tough weekend on the golf course the president is back at work laser focused on improving the lives of Americans by resuming his deranged AI marathon.

America’s Biggest Problem Isn’t Trump. It’s Apathy - Jul 30, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/guardthe... Eight million people protested. More than 330 million didn’t. Apparently, everyone is still waiting for somebody else to fix America.

The same is true about the “stolen” election

Rand Paul--who doesn't believe in evolution--holding a hearing of Dr. Fauci--a retired, life-long public servant-- while we are *actively* in the midst of SEVERAL disease outbreaks due to unnecessary public health cuts and corporate lobbying shows exactly how unserious Republicans are.

what an unbelievable dipshit Moreno is

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

Bernie Moreno, who today told Fauci "who the fuck did you think you were?", says "that was me being nice. That was holding back, trying to be polite given the respect I have for the office."

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

U.S. Official: Iran Attacks Injured “Far More” Troops Than Pentagon Admits theintercept.com/2026/07/20/u...

This deserves alt text:

ICE agents try to get a coffee 👎 Imagine taking a job where businesses will turn you away and random people on the street will publicly shame you for it, and you still somehow manage to convince yourself that doing the right thing.

Senate confirmation hearings used to give me hope. Now they are just a show—all of Trump’s cronies get confirmed. Another example of our broken & corrupt system The worst people who lie and obfuscate with abandon get confirmed. See: Markwayne Mullin, Pete Hedgeseth etc ad nauseum. It is a joke

The toxic influencer who has made "hyper-masculinity" his brand was arresting wearing Doris Day clam-digger slacks and a kicky purple blouse.

Yeah, she really is that dumb.

Regardless of politics, we can all agree that the President should stop lying to the American people about Iran’s capabilities, right? It’s insane that we’re sticking to the “completely obliterated” lie while Iran is actively killing Americans.

Remember when Trump & Republicans claimed a vague MOU was the same as a comprehensive peace deal and it ended the war? How did that scam work out? Iran got sanctions lifted and sold billions in oil while taking advantage of Dummy Trump as the war continues with no end in sight.

The Alabama Senator who lives in Florida has thoughts about the legitimacy of various Senators.

A text sent to Don Jr from Julian Assange about election rigging lies way back in 2016.

MAGA crying about Canadian wildfire smoke is peak delusion. They'll unhinged-ly blame Canada for a natural disaster—forgetting Canada is always the first to help the US during crises—all while Trump denies climate change. You cheer for fossil fuels, gut eco-laws, then whine when the planet burns!

This is a blatantly unconstitutional threat. The executive branch has zero constitutional power to tell states how to run their elections - zero. Nor does DHS have the constitutional power to threaten state and local officials with jail time if they fail to abide by the executive branch’s demands.

The real scandal should be why Democrats forgot to “rig” the 2024 election. If they had remembered, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Trump’s speech was brought to you by the letters W, T and F.
