$37 BILLION of our money has been spent on Trump’s war of choice in the Middle East, and all we have to show for it is skyrocketing and record-breaking fuel prices.
If Biden or Obama had started a war that led to attacks like these on American bases—and then covered it up for months—the political backlash would eclipse Benghazi. One service member: "We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed." www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pho...

The scariest thing about Vance, Trump, & the GOP is not that they're bigoted sickos. We've surmised that since Joe McCarthy. It's that they're proudly & publicly bigoted sickos. That's the only policy achievement they can realistically market to what we (prob unironically) call their base voters.

Yes, yes, the state of California is definitely taking children away from their parents if they don't agree with "the pronouns the schools chooses for your kids," yes, that is an entire string of events that definitely happened. It's cool how a US Senator can just spread insane lies on TV.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTim Scott: "Think about how dangerous states like California [are] that want to take away your kids if you don't agree w/pronouns the schools chooses for your kids. They're coming for our culture. If you don't want to stand up & fight for the soul of this country, your wood is wet. It's that simple"
For the love of god someone please ask him when he thought Germany was great because I’ve got an idea.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: “Wow! The Populist Party in Germany just had a really big night. They finally got tired of the absolutely horrible Immigration rules and regulations which have hurt Germany so badly. THEY ARE ON THE RISE, and not going to take it anymore! MGGA!!! President DJT”
If only the media had as much interest in the world's richest person, the primary funder of the Republican Party, who spoke at Trump's Inauguration and gave a Sieg Heil, once again declaring his belief "white solidarity is the only way to survive" as they do some Twitch streamer.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 2w agoFor a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.
Republicans think it's "normal" to back a Senate candidate who was indicted for securities fraud, was impeached by members of his own party, was accused of bribery by his own aides and was sued by his wife for divorce "on biblical grounds" after a long-running affair.

Any news outlet that spent even one segment or one article on "Joe Biden is old" in 2024 should be going wall-to-wall with stories about the dementia-ravaged 80-year-old who keeps posting AI garbage and telling insanely obvious lies about himself. And yet
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
Remember when Kristen Welker would always ask every Republican guest to repudiate the statements of Nick Fuentes, Jack Posobiec, Benny Johnson, or other MAGA racists? Neither do I.

That is an incidence rate of… 0.00547% The voter fraud allegations you’ve been sold are blatantly and provably false.
The battle to keep global heating from passing the agreed 1.5-degree threshold has been lost. This should be an era when human ingenuity works to save the planet from catastrophe. Instead the tech broligarchy is busy embarking upon ludicrous AI data centre “infrastructure” fuelled by coal and gas.

But researchers are hard at work on finding those biological markers. The next edition of psychiatry’s diagnostic manual will start to bring more biology into how we understand

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · last mo.Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said. Both were unvaccinated. These the first deaths related to measles within the state in 35 years, it reports
This incredible falsehood deserves a defamation suit. What a truly unhinged lie, trying to terrify people away from a safe, beneficial, and widely-used medical product.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.WHAT -- Rep. Lisa McClain totally makes shit up, claims "82% of women who got the vaccine in their first or second trimester had a miscarriage"
Again, it is an *exceptionally* strange situation where the president of the US gets to literally invent preposterous things out of thin air every day and no one can do anything about it
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTrump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2mo agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
I dunno but it should probably be a bigger deal that the White House announced it wants to slap a 100% tariff on drug imports at the same time it is eliminating Medicare drug subsidies. And we’re talking about critical life-saving drugs like insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics, and heart meds.
man I will just never get over the fact that the collective response to the pandemic, and an absolutely miraculous vaccine development, was to destroy public health in this country and smear everyone involved I generally take a positive view of humanity overall but it's so depressing
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoMoreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
That Congress is even considering confirming a guy who enabled that "settlement" between Trump and his IRS shows how deeply fascism has become embedded in the Republican DNA.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2mo agoSenate Democrats are demanding answers from Todd Blanche about subpoenas he authorized to New York Times journalists — including whether Trump pressured the Justice Department to issue them.
interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”
tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · 2mo agoNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
