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..."

The Blanche deal is a sham. Read up from Aaron. https://open.substack.com/pub/aaronparnas/p/major-update-trump-doj-executes-sham?r=art2k&utm_medium=ios

Major Update: Trump DOJ Executes 'Sham' Deal to Immunize President and his Sons and get Todd Blanche Confirmed--Share This Everywhere

Good morning, everyone.

The slush fund for January 6 insurrectionists was never canceled. In fact, Trump appealed the judicial order which nullified the deal Todd Blanche is offering a fig leaf so Cornyn votes to confirm him as Attorney General. It’s a cynical effort to put yet another unqualified Trump lackey into office

🚨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/

REPUBLICANS POKED THE BEAR They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. New data shows they helped drive higher Black voter turnout in parts of the South instead. 📌 Alabama saw one of the biggest increase in Black voter mobilization. That will matter in @dougjones.bsky.social gov race.

"They said, 'Please don't do it.'" Imagine claiming you canceled the "biggest attack since World War II" because someone said please, while conveniently dropping the quote right at the Sunday 6 PM futures open.

Even Trump's own GOP allies can't pretend his lies are normal anymore, Sen. John Kennedy just casually outed him live on air by admitting Trump "grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought" and just rambles fiction as fact. Absolute clown show running the government!

Here's what I think about how Marco Rubio is doing:

Hard to keep track of the number of times he's declared victory in his illegal war-of-choice. #86-47

They died serving our country. They should be honored, not erased. Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Hawaii Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Texas Sgt. Angel Rampersad, 28, of New York Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of North Carolina

This is fucking shameful. They’re apparently trying to pretend like these are two separate conflicts in order to cook the books on casualty numbers. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...

Rep. Terri Sewell knows that the SAVE Act is nothing more than a voter suppression act. It should really be called the #PayToVoteSaveAct. This is a #CupOfJoe that’s worth absorbing.

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

We just committed a war crime destroying a desalination plant in Southern Iran. Iran responded.

Pretty sure Trump just said we have to secure our elections because the election in Venezuela was manipulated. We… don’t use the same election system as Venezuela.

Here are the facts The so-called SAVE America Act would PREVENT up to *140 million Americans* Including 69 million women from voting That’s EXACTLY what Trump wants-because it’s the only way he can win #LoserTrumpElectionLies

Trump: "Congress must pass the SAVE America Act"

Trump once called Georgia demanding officials hand him 11,000 votes that didn’t exist. It didn’t work then & it won’t fly now. Sen. Warnock’s reply: “We are unmoved.” Georgia isn’t intimidated by a man who’s been relitigating his own loss for six years. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

Trump can’t accept that Americans chose not to rehire him in 2020. So now it’s nationalize elections, rewrite who gets to vote, and call it “security.” Sen. Warner nailed it: this sounds like it’s ripped from a dystopian novel. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

Ana Navarro said what everyone’s thinking: nobody around Trump has the spine to tell him he’s lying, or insane, or both. If Biden spent six years claiming without evidence that he didn’t lose, men in white coats would’ve hauled him off stage. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

Trump’s calling a primetime address about 2020. Here’s what actually happened: 60+ lawsuits, all rejected. Full hand recounts in GA. Multiple audits in AZ. His own AG found nothing. The facts haven’t changed. Only his desperation has. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

Sen Ossoff just put it perfectly: tonight’s primetime address is Trump serving up 6-year-old sour grapes as national television. The world’s most famous sore loser still can’t let go of 2020 — because admitting he lost means admitting he could lose again. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

Tonight, you will likely hear the president claim there was foreign interference in the 2020 election. To be clear, there were attempts, but there was no evidence they changed any election outcome. From a joint DOJ/FBI/DHS/CISA report in 2021: www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

Duckworth on Hegseth announcing testosterone screenings for troops: "It sounds like gender affirming care to me, so I'm glad he's come around ... this is just more performative bullshit from the least qualified secretary of defense in our nation's history."

The esteemed Ayanna Pressley holds nothing back when addressing Russell Vought. His legacy will be one of hurt & harm. The people deserve better.

Trump is back at 9:00 p.m. to unveil "new" intel on 2020 election interference. It is the political equivalent of a breakup album from an ex who was dumped six years ago and refuses to move on. We all know the ending, but apparently, he still needs the attention. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Greedy Scammer-in-chief is taking his theft spree international. As part of his imaginary superhero duties ("Guardian of the Hormuz Strait"), he plans to collect $ from all ships passing through the Strait. Ppl having to pay to do what was free before...right up 🤡's alley. F*cking thief.

Iran war live: Trump to charge 20% toll on ships using Strait of Hormuz

US military's Central Command says it controls the Strait of Hormuz but Iran's Revolutionary Guard rejects the claim

Lindsey Graham is gone. The Supreme Court he helped build isn’t. Neither are the consequences of the choices he made in its name. This isn’t an obituary. It’s an examination of the legacy he left behind, and what responsibility looks like now. Read and share: open.substack.com/pub/thejenni...

It was a historic day for the Delaware Valley. Tens of thousands crossed the Ben Franklin Bridge on foot for its 100th birthday. The celebration featured food trucks and exhibits, highlighting the bridge’s legacy as the vital link between Philadelphia and Camden, New Jersey.

Half of all Americans have no president.

Trump just denied disaster aid to four blue states, after approving aid to six red states.

Trump just fired all three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, leaving the agency with no commissioners just months before the midterms

Trump fires all commissioners of federal election agency

Months before the midterms, the only federal agency dedicated solely to election administration is now unable to do anything.
