Kegsbreath getting in his own way, with his sh*tty tactics on the Hill. "Senate Dems have threatened to boycott the funding bills altogether, meaning Hegseth’s [AH behavior] could backfire on the [regime]'s own spending priorities this fall" Good. Maybe he'll end up w less taxpayer $ to waste.

Ben Mueller’s assignment for his HS journalism class was to tell a news story, any news story, in the form of an extended IG slideshow. This investigative #CupOfJoe turned a California student newspaper into a free-speech flash point. Bravo to this young man!

For years, top Wall Street banks ignored Epstein's suspicious multi-million dollar cash transfers. Sen. Ron Wyden's investigation reveals how these banks enabled his crimes, laying the ground to prosecute everyone who looked away. This is a #CupOfJoe w/a latte facts.

He was seizing. Ambulance was already called. ICE “released” him anyway, mid-emergency, so his death wouldn’t count as theirs. No report. No notice to Congress. Menendez found out by accident. 3rd death at Delaney Hall. This isn’t a loophole. It’s a system built to erase people. Make some noise!

Are you kidding With all the improprieties on his watch, Todd Blanche shouldn’t even be a lawyer Leading the Department of Justice? He should be UNDER INVESTIGATION by the Department of Justice

Rep. Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.house.gov · last wk.

In addition to having been Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Todd Blanche failed to release half of the Epstein files. He should not be leading the Department of Justice.

Before the sun came up, the U.S. Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as Attorney General in a 50–49 vote. All Democrats, alongside Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, voted against the nomination. Disgrace‼️

Democracy is more than elections. It is the right to disagree without fear, protest without retaliation, report the truth without intimidation, and demand answers from those in power. When those protections disappear one by one, authoritarianism has already begun to grow.

Using his office to avoid prison *and* rake in BILLION$ for himself, his wife, his kids, his cronies. He's moving fast because at 80 he knows time is limited.

Keep calling it out, & sharing with your fellow voters: "Trump’s presidency [is rife w] his brazen and ever-expanding corruption." His chasing after being able to officially hide from IRS audits is just one of his many scams. Trump's GOP enablers are allowing all this, & need to answer for it.

An American oil company linked to Trump, Greenland Energy, is attempting to drill there w/out Greenland’s permission. They have been warned to stop. Story in thread. This Truth Social post by Trump gives creeper vibes, & his need to force drilling on Greenland gives rapist, thieving vibes. 1/2

Cutting Medicare Part D subsidies is asking for higher drug costs, more untreated illness, and higher long‑term healthcare spending. Our seniors need a government that understands and cares about them. Instead, MAGA shifts more money to the ultra rich.

Man, if Putin had told Trump exactly what he wanted the US to do to help Iran and Russia and hurt Ukraine, it would have been exactly what Trump did in his war. This is a Russian strategic dream we are watching.

Before leaving for August recess on Friday, the Senate could vote on a bill that would turbocharge Trump’s corruption. Senate Democrats can stop the CLARITY Act if they work together, but that’s not going to happen unless our senators hear from us. 👇

Stop Trump’s Crypto Corruption - No to CLARITY Act

The Senate will be considering the CLARITY ACT, a Trojan horse for deregulation that would only help Trump, billionaires, and foreign governments profit at our expense. We need senators to block them.

"Ovarian cancer is a misnomer." Nearly all ovarian cancers are fallopian tubes cancers. American Cancer Society, American College of Surgeons & European Society of Gynaecological Oncology have recently urged MD's to offer tube removal with other abdominal surgeries. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/h...

Missouri lawmakers tried to rig democracy. Voters torched the plan. Amendment 4 would’ve forced ballot initiatives to win in all 8 congressional districts, a rigged system designed to kill citizen power. They said no. Hard. Power to the people. Keep the momentum going into November!
