Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

The message "they want to inspect your daughter's genitals" would be astoundingly effective. Which is also why conservative Democrats who want to cave won't say it. In general, they would rather lose and be comfortable than win and have to push hard.
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 2mo agoInsane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks
No surprise, but just read it and consider where we stand now with Trump in power. The midterms are the most important elections ever….💙💙
Sure, if by energy you mean rage-posting through a pharmaceutical fog.
Happy August! Starting this month, Republicans have kicked off ~5 million vets, kids and parents from food assistance.

New photos from the New York Times reveal that construction for Trump's ballroom is now above ground, despite an ongoing lawsuit over its legality. This vanity project is one of the most corrupt things a president has ever done. Watch.

The complaints cite a ProPublica report detailing how CBS and Paramount have for years given FCC commissioners luxury gala tickets, which the commissioners accepted even as the FCC was reviewing or about to review major Paramount business decisions. Read our original investigation:

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.
Blanche’s appeasement is hollow. Trump still gets immunity from tax audits worth $100 million. And last week’s payout to abortion clinic blocker shows the path to payouts to rewrite history will be individual settlements instead of one designated fund. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Further, Blanche’s statement still gives Trump cover for stealing from America for decades, and he can just do it again bc they’re basically blessing it now. When he asks for your vote, always say no. Anything else is treasonous bc he’s a thief and a saboteur.
This administration will tell any lie to get its way. This is their version of “depends what your definition is ✌️is✌️ is”. They haven’t withdrawn their appeal which is how you know he’s lying.
DO NOT CONGRATULATE If Tillis and Cornyn had any dignity or self-respect, or even a shred of patriotism or professional responsibility, they’d still vote no. But they’re Republicans and none of their colleagues have those virtues either. So why would they? They will cave because they have no honor.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2mo agoActing attorney general Todd Blanche formally rescinded the Trump administration’s proposal for a $1.8 billion fund for people who claim they were victims of political prosecutions. It’s a step toward becoming the head of the Justice Department.
Colorado River. Humans are the most selfish, ignorant & destructive species on earth. If you have children/grandchildren, you might want to get engaged & be proactive in working with your government officials to save what is left of our natural resources. They will thank you ~
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
