Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Not just White - White & 100% on board with the fascist & theocratic #Project2025. Itself full of inaccuracies, Foxspeak & 💩shit.

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...

Many are saying! 😡

Susan Collins, who voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding, is now taking credit for securing new bodycams to distance herself from Trump and ICE. This is how Collins wins in Maine. Dems must go on offense on ICE to thwart this scam. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

What Susan Collins Just Did on Trump and ICE Should Worry All Dems

She voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding. But now she’s taking credit for a new bodycam commitment from ICE. Democrats can’t let her get away with this.

More disgraceful Putinism from Trump.

Trump's Pentagon plans to delay spending the remaining $400M in Ukraine aid until FY2029—the year Trump leaves office—despite Kyiv's urgent weapons shortages. Congress was notified in May, but the funds remain unspent and not under contract. #Ukraine #Trump #Putin www.kyivpost.com/post/81216

So now we know why the CEO of General Motors introduced him. He’s using our money to buy/promote Cadillacs. Everything is transactional in this crass, avaricious administration.

"I challenge anyone to defend it: a war built on lies told by a White House utterly absent figures of integrity to dissuade the president from his delusions" -- Jon Ossoff's entire address today at the Barean Christian Church is worth watching

None of this is abstruse or difficult to explore or explain. There are countless books on the subject. There are countless experts in psychology, psychiatry, history, and political science who can explain the significance of what we are seeing with President Trump. The press needs to do its job.

This should be another aspect of immediate journalistic inquiry: What has happened to other world leaders who have suffered from similar psychiatric issues in their decompensating end stages? How did that turn out for themselves and the people they govern?

Slotkin suggests Trump could use the military to seize ballots from polling places this November without even the fig leaf of a warrant

He aimlessly spends down the national armory in Iran, fires our best senior military leaders, and spends his free time committing war crimes in the Caribbean… but still STILL manages to find time to obsess over soldier testosterone levels 🤦‍♂️ Stupid leaders = stupid policies = weaker military power

It’s treason. Just discussing the intent is enough. If anyone else is involved, it’s conspiracy to commit treason. Read the Constitution…

Merging our military with the IDF must be completely removed from the NDAA and should never be considered again.

Hilarious that he cited Mamdani as the most serious threat today in America to a free press while Trump sues, threatens, subpoenas, yells at, and tries to intimidate reporters on a daily basis. But Mamdani is the problem. What a clown. bsky.app/profile/atru...

E. Jean Carroll Receives $5.6 Million Payment From Trump in Civil Case

A federal jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming Ms. Carroll. He exhausted his appeals last month, prompting a judge to order that the money be paid.

🎙️Reporter: Will you sign the Russia sanctions bill? 🇺🇸 Trump: Lindsey wanted it very badly. They may be adding Iran and Hezbollah to it too. There is a good chance it gets done.

Donald Trump helped elect 2 Dem Senators on Jan 5th, 2021, by telling his supporters that the system was rigged and it didn’t matter if you voted. Bless his heart, he’s at it again. Listen to him, MAGA. It’s all rigged. It’s a giant conspiracy. Why bother voting?
