Gee, who’d have thought that a wannabe trillionaire taking a chainsaw to agencies he neither knew nor cared anything about could have negative consequences for “the little people”?

He and his band of DOGE kids, who felt so very all-powerful and SO enjoyed “thumping” legitmate, decent, hardworking federal employees.
This is what you get when you elect a president so he can stay out of jail.
Ken Paxton when asked by a Fox host about his 3 primary residences (out of his 15 homes). This should clear it up! “So, when we bought a new house, we moved our primary residence to – to a house. So that was both were dictated by the Constitution, and then they changed the Constitution."
Here’s your daily reminder that when you go to cast your ballot in November please vote all the way down the ballot. The further down you go, those races really do get closer to your front door and ultimately your wallet. Let’s turn these laboratories of autocracy back into democracy.
If they want the Bible to be taught in school, then I want science to be taught in church.
It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.
Gotta pay the piper for that inauguration invite…
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Pathetic -- Google is now referring to Lake Ontario as "Lake America"
Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.
To anyone writing about or thinking about the so-called "deal" with Venezuela for its oil reserves: It's theft, an "agreement" at the barrel of a gun. Please don't sanitize it. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

It's still Lake Ontario. And the Gulf of Mexico. You're welcome.
SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)
15,903 "illegal ballots" became 185, and they still haven’t shown that those 185 people cast any ballots. Gifted article: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/u...
I wonder why 90 days. Couldn’t be because the midterms are in… 74 days, right? Right? Apparently communist price controls are fine when you’re trying to get votes. Who knew?
Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?
BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Editor of Stars and Stripes says he is being fired for insubordination after saying any censorship is a 'red line.'
So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · last mo.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..."
"From Trump’s inauguration in January 2025 to April 2026 (the most recent month for which government data are available), residential electricity rates have risen by an eye-watering 18%..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
The bill comes due on Trump’s campaign promises about slashing energy prices ‘by half’
Candidate Trump said Americans should expect to see energy costs cut between 50% and 70% by July 2026. It’s July 2026, and you’ll never guess which way prices went.

"Two years after John McCain’s death, she mocked Lindsey Graham, writing, 'The spirit of McCain is strong — making Graham a weak-ass $$&&!' Now, right on the heels of Graham’s recent passing, Senate Republicans — including Graham’s own sister — voted to confirm her..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Republicans confirm Trump judicial nominee who smeared GOP senators via social media
Kara Westercamp has attacked quite a few Senate Republicans online in recent years. They confirmed her to a lifetime judicial post anyway.

RFK Jr. said the outbreak was “under control.” Now the FDA is investigating six Cyclospora outbreaks. More than 12,000 Americans have already been hit with explosive diarrhea. So what exactly does “under control” mean to the CDC these days?
Anti-abortion groups were already lobbying Todd Blanche to crack down on abortion pills before his confirmation hearing. Judging by his testimony, they found an ally.
Acting AG Todd Blanche has brazenly committed violations of the preliminary injunction entered against him in my Epstein Files lawsuit. I walk through my latest filing in detail explaining the legal strategy & describe the specific asks I am making of the court: youtu.be/VZojLQ2iXyw?...
🚨 AG Blanche PANICS as Judge Weighs CONTEMPT In MY Epstein Lawsuit!!

A federal judge just ordered all of the Epstein files to be turned over to him and DOJ must defend each redaction. This is solely because of Katie Phang’s @katiephang.bsky.social lawsuit. Yay independent journalism! #TRUMPANDEPSTEIN #EPSTEIN #EPSTEINFILES
Very interesting thank you very much. I don’t think any rational intelligent AMERICAN or viewer of this believes this wasn’t a staged “assassination attempt.” I’ve since read that other authoritarian dictators in the past or organized their own assassination attempts in order to gain support.
Lest we forget: When a loud noise is unexpected, a normal/healthy physiologic response is to look *toward* the noise. This *reflex* reaction helps us to identify potential dangers and evaluate our safety level. Not looking toward the noise is *highly indicative of foreknowledge*. #BodyLanguageExpert
