A TV talkshow host running the Pentagon? A podcaster running the FBI? A kook with no medical background running the National Institute of Health? A home builder with no intelligence as Director of National Intelligence? Gamers as air traffic controllers? This is not a serious administration.

‘Platner on steroids’: Max Miller abuse claims have Republicans silently sweating

The Ohio lawmaker denies the allegations as an Aug. 5 deadline to drop off the ballot approaches.

Is any high-profile media outlet going to run a story contrasting how Platner was treated by the Democratic Party (run out on rails) with how Max Miller is being treated by the GOP (protected, supported) and drawing the obvious conclusions?

Instead of annexing, the Trump regime and its supporters are simply doing and taking what they want Denmark and the EU should put a stop to this illegal incursion now - using force if need be It is the only thing these fascists understand www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

First of all, this is a stupid lie. Second, Donald is intentionally *raising* the cost of prescriptions. He is cruelly about to cut Medicare subsidies for drugs.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

🚨NEW: Todd Blanche’s new order rescinds the May 18 Anti-Weaponization Fund—but quietly leaves the May 19 IRS immunity settlement intact. Instead of rescinding it, the accompanying memo reaffirms DOJ’s interpretation, arguing the immunity applies only retroactively and only to the parties involved.1/

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.

If SCOTUS sides with Trump this week, the consequences could reach far beyond one executive order. This isn't just another shadow docket case. It's about who controls access to the ballot—and who gets to decide whether your vote counts. Here's what's at stake: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
