Donald Trump is the first president in the history of the United States to have hundreds of his own bank accounts closed by a financial institution under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

“Sandwich guy case” “Harvard clawed frog embryo smuggling case” “Olympic canoeist reflecting pool vandalism case” “James Comey seashells Instagram post case” New rule: If the case sounds like a Mad Libs story, it’s probably about to implode.

C'mon now

The easiest possible layup for a President at war with another country would be to explain that they are attacking us. Trump won't do that because he views Minnesota as a bigger enemy than Iran.

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

Advance copies of my new book on problem solving! “Don’t Smash the Watermelon!” releases Aug. 18 (but preorders NOW help juice those algorithms).

Let me tell you, having chronicled Pentagon-style war game on attacking Iran nearly 25 yr ago, every single "surprise," "darkening turn," "narrowing option," spreading warfare," "rising casualties," "no easy exit," etc that comes drip-by-drip is EXACTLY why GHWB WJC GWB OBAMA BiDEN did NOT do this

He's crap at business, but he's the king of theft.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

"A few hundred men have taken a huge chunk of the nation's wealth and an even huger chunk of political influence." @pkrugman.bsky.social tells @jvl.bsky.social why the backlash against billionaires is finally catching up to their control over American politics, media and government.

This is a campaign video posted by the Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia YouTube account over a year ago. It has garnered only 30,000 views on YouTube. I'm sharing this on BlueSky because I believe it's some of the best Democratic messaging that I've ever seen, and I think it deserves more views.

Ossoff: "Aren't we all tired of living under an administration where we know we have to ask about every single thing whether the first family is getting paid and lining their own pockets?"

OSSOFF: On day 9, you assured us of Iranian surrender. Does that remain your prediction? HEGSETH: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon O: So to review, you will not answer whether your statement that Iran's military was 'destroyed' was truthful as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more?

Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

It is deeply shameful that this is what the president was doing the same weekend more American service members were dying in the war he started.

lmao Gianni looked like he was about to tackle Trump to get him out of the shot

Talarico: "It's funny because I'm the eighth-generation Texan in the race. I think California transplants like Ken Paxton can become Texans. That's what great about our state."

Me: "It's time to start eating healthy." Lettuce: "I'm going to give you explosive diarrhea!" Chips and cookies in my pantry: "I would never do that to you."

Sen. Ossoff: If the President calls Georgia's senators illegitimate, he is calling Georgia's voters illegitimate. Donald Trump tried to commit voter fraud in Georgia when he badgered Brad Raffensperger to "find" him the exact number of votes he needed to win in a state he had lost.

If President Kamala Harris kept reinstating a blockade on the strait of Hormuz + a toll on all our allies during an unprecedented global oil crisis we’d be calling for her head.

There's plenty of reasons to be skeptical of centrists who bemoan "political polarization" and call for a politics that abandons the "tribalism of left and right." 1/

Kevin McCarthy on Platner Allegations: That one thing I know about Republicans is when we had a very bad candidate, we didn't vote for that person. We walked away.
