NYT says Trump is going to take the Qatari bribe jet AND one of the old Air Force Ones when he leaves office. He can put the broken down old one in his presidential library and do what he likes with the new one we just paid billions of tax dollars to retrofit. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...
🚨New York City🚨 Join us for a citywide call on August 19th 6-7pm ET where we'll discuss the increase in ICE activity across NYC, threats to the upcoming midterms, other attacks by the Trump regime, and, most importantly, what we can do about fighting back against it all. RSVP at tr.ee/masscall.
Donald Trump dodged the draft but is happy to post photos of himself in uniform while he sends our kids to die in his war.
This guy never served. He faked an injury to avoid the draft. None of his children have served. He called those who did serve their country "suckers and losers." He skipped the centenary memorial for servicemen who died in WWI because it was drizzling. This is more than usually repellent.

Is there a connection between opulence and the decline of empire? Who cares, suggests Chad Mizelle, Trump's 2025 former Deputy Attorney General, as he comments on the tourism draw of gilded statues and the "opulence of the epicenter of once-great civilizations," without a shred of self-awareness.
If your immediate response to this isn't "fuck you, old man," you should just leave journalism entirely.

The Trump regime knows that local news has higher trust than national news. That's why the regime is promoting consolidation of local news chains to increase the influence of right-wing owners (see Nexstar). This is an under-appreciated aspect of the regime's "media capture" strategy.

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

Trump knows exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were hit too. This is what modern warfare looks like, and it further illustrates there’s no plan to win a war with Iran. www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p...

Ross Douthat looks like some inbred dipshit from the Riverlands in Game of Thrones who would be wearing one of those helmets with leather ear flaps that make you look like a halfwit who then proceeds to get run over by a horse drawn cart fleeing a dragon
It’s time to end DEI and restore the meritocracy. Here’s why The New York Times must hire a conservative columnist to replace Douthat.
Should be a bigger story— “Alexandra Bravo, prosecutor investigating 🇺🇸 strikes on 3 Ecuadorian boats and survivor accounts of torture/kidnapping, shot dead… hitman on a black motorcycle opened fire… Bravo’s sister jumped to protect her, also killed…” www.dropsitenews.com/p/prosecutor...
This is a terrible one

Republicans keep bringing up this story as an example of how easy it is to cast fradulent votes What they miss: the dog's owner, Laura Lee Yourex ,was caught, charged with five felonies, the votes didn't change the election, and she is a registered Republican www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...
Republicans can’t stop talking about a California dog who voted. Here’s what really happened
Republicans’ fixation on the dog voter — and the voter ID measure they say it justifies — echoes President Donald Trump’s claims about the need for stricter voting requirements.
