So was the non-existent "Great American Road Trip" a mere screw-up, or a Hans-Gruber-style heist dressed up as a cause?

What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?

Three months after it was announced, the secretary of transportation’s summer show—funded by companies he regulates—hasn’t aired a single episode.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

This just might be the most psychotic act of sexual harassment I’ve ever seen. Not the worst per se, or most menacing but in terms of sheer insanity it’s really up there.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

What this means is that Trump has stolen an estimated $100mm from US taxpayers by avoiding the pending audit of his filed returns. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

President just told the world that Washington DC was the highest crime city in the world before he took over! We ranked #61 in 2024...were at 71 currently in 2026 www.numbeo.com/crime/rankin...

Hey America, your president is delusional.

Trump: I am very disappointed with Jeanine Pirro. She folded like an umbrella.

Rodney, a double amputee, was forced to drag himself across the bathroom floor in ICE detention just to take a shower. Reasonable accommodations are a human right. Trump shouldn't get to choose where to draw that line.

The US ranks #16-18 in Covid death rate globally...yet we weren't even in the top 50 for covid vaccine rate. Our lack of acceptance of vaccines gave us the number of total deaths we have experienced. Can you imagine what our deaths would have been if we didn't mask, social distance and shut down?

The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.

Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.

@cnn.com They're using the term death "rate", when what is factual is number of deaths- those are two different things! While we may well have the highest number of (REPORTED) deaths we did NOT have the highest death rate! Our rate was around 17th!

@cnn.com hey CNN! Tell Dana and her producers that number of deaths and death RATE are 2 different things!

Trump is torching his own AG nominee so he can preserve his sweetheart tax deal that gives his family a blank check to commit tax fraud. This President is banking billions by abusing his power. Now he’s doing everything possible to make sure he’ll never be held accountable.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

The New York Times reports the U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on a family home in Iran, killing a husband, wife, and their 2-year-old son. The paper found no indication of a nearby military target.

The weapon, one of the largest in the U.S.’s arsenal, struck a house in a heavily populated area, according to a Times analysis.

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

STATEMENT ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REFLECTING POOL INFIGHTING

Blanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND - targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases

The best measure of how America is doing isn’t the stock market, or GDP growth. It’s how well most Americans are living — and right now most are struggling.

We do have “a pure case of VANDALISM.” It’s called the Trump administration.

Reflecting Pool lessons: 1. Trump administration lying is routine and pervasive. Nothing they say or do should have a "presumption of regularity." 2. They spend our money to prosecute innocent people. Congress should cut and restrict funds and hold liars accountable. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...
