NEW: A quick explainer of Capital One closing hundreds of Trump accounts for money laundering. PLUS, my cat can be heard in the background so that's cute. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv93...
Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?
One. Point. Four. Billion. Dollars. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Trump’s National Guard deployment in D.C. set to cost additional $1.4 billion
The estimate, provided to Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, covers the period from Oct. 1, 2026, through the end of the president’s term.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
“Do you think it’s fair your office is still getting paid while Kentuckians go without representation?” This is the right Q from @cheering4change. Not only is it unfair, if he’s dead or incapacitated it should be a crime. (Fraud, racketeering, etc) #MissingMitchMcconnell
“Tillis and Cornyn caved even though they have literally nothing to lose,” says Chris Hayes. “At the national level, there really are no ‘good’ Republicans under Donald Trump.”

Well, when you say it like that……. Thanks for this @kellyscaletta.bsky.social
Blanche’s appeasement is hollow. Trump still gets immunity from tax audits worth $100 million. And last week’s payout to abortion clinic blocker shows the path to payouts to rewrite history will be individual settlements instead of one designated fund. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...
Blanche Gives G.O.P. Senators Written Assurances on Trump’s I.R.S. Deal (Gift Article)
Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general has been held up over concerns about a planned $1.8 billion fund for Trump allies and the president’s immunity from tax scrutiny.

Trump scammed you. Consumers paid for those tariffs and these corporations got the refunds.
To be fair, turning a blind eye to abuse is kind of Gym’s thing
“Should Max Miller resign?” Jim Jordan: “He’s a good man. I’m helping him get re-elected.” Kasie: “He’s accused of throwing boiling water on his ex, held a gun to her head, fractured their daughter’s collarbone…”🤔 Jordan: *stammers helplessly as she plays his Platner comments*
The lazy sociopath who golfs instead of working (on, say, a plan to win a war with Iran) wants terminally ill patients to work for benefits they’re entitled to.
I love this. Every blue state should be doing everything in its power to max out the vote.
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger announced Friday that she has restored voting rights for 66,085 people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to vote due to past felony convictions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Oh my. Pirro v Burgum is on people. (Cannot see how they both stay in their jobs)
UFC cage match on the White House lawn: Pirro v Burgum. Trump MCs.
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.
Sure, sure, let’s just downplay an attack by a hostile foreign actor. Iran has some of the most persistent — and effective — hackers on the planet. This is irresponsible as hell from Trump.
Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
And if you're seeing this and still posting on X -- providing content and thus $$ -- you're helping Musk do it. Period.
The two worst people on the planet working together would make a great horror movie, but also a greatly horrible reality.
just incredible to watch the US president take Iran's side when my state's water systems are under cyberattack
Wowza they REALLY don’t want to talk about #MissingMitchMcconnell 🤔😬
This is how all politicians should be questioned, everyone is to be held accountable by the press. Nicely done CNN
Holy shit! Jim Jordan is reduced to stammering when Kasie Hunt presses him on why he continues to support Max Miller despite credible allegations that he abused his ex-wife and toddler daughter
Wow, this graph…. Cannot even put into words just how rotten this regime is. Why are our representatives so ineffectual at stopping this?
“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Josh Hawley is a horrible person and hypocrite. But you knew that.
Chris Hayes: Sen. Bernie Moreno spent his morning raging at Anthony Fauci. But if you ask him about the Republican colleague who’s accused of holding a gun to his own daughter's head, he has no comment.

Todd Blanche won’t sign a statement on Trump’s $1.776 billion so-called Anti-Weaponization Fund because they’re already doing it. Paul Vaughn got at least $1 million. Michael Flynn, Mark Houck & Carter Page also got $1 million. Ashli Babbitt’s family got $5 million. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/u...
CNN: “New poll numbers strikingly bad for Trump… approval rating tanking on just about every major issue… a record number of discontented Americans…”
