BREAKING — Trump is planning to sign an executive order today that calls for spacing out childhood vaccines, breaking the MMR into three separate shots and making other key vaccine changes. @lenasun.bsky.social @rachelroubein.bsky.social

Iran is now publicly talking about what I’ve been saying since this war started: They’re trying to Jimmy Carter him, and he’s letting it happen while telling everyone he’s winning.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Makes sense. They’re messing up so badly they need to distract with the pandemic.

sorry, but some of y'all seem to still be learning the lesson that mediocre and corrupt white men fail up Consequences are for women and poc

I support Zohran in demonstrating to the United States the appropriate treatment of all citizens.

Trump's White House ballroom plan just got BLOCKED. The U.S. lost 23,000 jobs in July. Republicans are ready to reward Blanche after his corruption and Epstein cover-up. And much more. Your midday recap is here.

That's not a complaint. That's a confession. A sitting U.S. Senator just admitted, out loud, that his party has completely abandoned its constitutional responsibility. No pushback. No oversight. No spine.

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.

"It’s really striking just how much President Trump is personally involved in this."

Why is the White House hiding its minerals deals?

A new report finds that most of the administration's critical minerals agreements are secret, exploitative, or both.

The moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.

Somebody helped Epstein run that ranch for 20 years. Somebody in Washington is very committed to you never learning their names. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/hes-huntin...

He’s Hunting Epstein’s Accomplices

New Mexico’s attorney general just sued the DOJ to get their names

if i may also suggest a lateral take: on top of being rightwing nonsense, this is American nonsense

Excuse me?

Of course Cassidy caved on Blanche. Coward wouldn’t want to accidentally benefit the nation or anything.

MSNow: President Trump is also pushing so that his family is immune from audits. It looks like it may go forward. Trump Voter: No. Fuck that. No! How does he get to do that and we don’t?

Joe Biden had a bad debate in 2024. Hundreds of news stories about it. Trump has had hundreds of bank accounts closed due to evidence of money laundering. Nary a peep. Why?

I would not eat a goddamn thing from this fuckclown's kitchen if I was starving...

Democratic lawmakers are calling for an investigation into Eric and Don Jr.’s ties to 15 companies that have received $3.2 BILLION in defense contracts. Here's what you should know about their ongoing grifts.

Breaking: GOP Congressman Andy Ogles, who has said gay people have “no place in America” and “Muslims don't belong in American society,” just lost his primary in Tennessee. He will no longer serve in Congress.

Shocking news! Just kidding. Anyone with a brain knew it was all a lie, but it's nice to have it officially confirmed

Today’s Civics Lesson Dr. Fauci honoring a congressional subpoena and then taking the Fifth Amendment: an example of someone respecting both Congress and the Constitution. Jim Jordan ignoring a congressional subpoena: an example of someone showing contempt for Congress. Lesson over.

NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN

We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?

On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.

UPDATE: CBS News reverses course, airs story on 9/11 families supporting Mamdani

Last week, CBS News New York falsely reported that “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.” The articl...

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

Nothing is more indicative of a failed Congress than the republican Senate’s attempt to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt when tRump breaks the law every single day and that same Congress sits on it ass and enables his disgraceful and illegal acts. The republican party is destroying America.

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
