Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

Karma is on its way bitch!

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

I am just so upset at what is happening to Dr. Fauci … why are they doing this to him because all it does is make me LOATHE AND HATE them more than I already do which I didn’t think possible. So utterly despicable

By the numbers: 125 days of golf for trump and roughly $175 million in estimated taxpayer cost since January 2025.

A president at 32% approval, presiding over a war that has killed 18 US service members & an affordability crisis he keeps promising to fix, chose to spend Sunday telling the country he is the best golfer at a club where he signs the checks. Voters notice where attention goes. His is not on them.

Analyst David Rothkopf argued that Trump is failing to contain a series of crises he created himself — from the dismantling of federal agencies to the widening Iran war. His verdict: Trump is drowning in failure, nothing he does is working, and he’s reaching for increasingly wild distractions.

Texas hasn’t sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1988. Talarico isn’t leading because Republicans collapsed on their own — he’s leading because he built a coalition that includes independents, Hispanic voters, and Republicans who can’t stomach Paxton.

Gas is over $4 and approval is at 32%. Trump spent the weekend announcing his 43rd club championship.

One party spent today explaining why it couldn’t act; the other spent it registering voters, winning in court, and picking up endorsements from the first party’s own alumni — and in November, only one of those is a strategy

Jeff Flake — a former GOP senator — endorsed Jon Ossoff. Flake told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he’s still a conservative Republican and still disagrees with Ossoff on policy, but that character matters and he wants someone in the seat who takes the institution seriously.

Pennsylvania Democrats have added nearly 25,500 voters since January — while Republicans lost more than 4,500.

A federal judge just told Trump’s DOJ it has no right to Colorado’s voter file — and made it permanent.

There was nothing we could do is a choice described as a weather event. Cornyn sat on the committee whose entire constitutional function is advice and consent — the one body that could have done something — and he is telling you it was impossible. Voters are the ones who decide whether that’s true.

Cornyn had leverage & gave it away. He & Tillis spent days threatening to sink Blanche’s nomination over a $1.8B “anti-weaponization” fund — a pot of money for those claiming the government wronged them, tied to Trump’s IRS settlement. Both wanted assurances fund was dead. Both voted yes anyway.

Booker wasn’t performing outrage — he was building a record. When the check on executive power is a committee that won’t check, the only remaining accountability is the one voters deliver. That is the whole argument for November, made in one afternoon by the person who lost the vote.

Cornyn says the quiet part. After caving on Blanche, the outgoing Texas senator told reporters there was “nothing we could do to rein in the president.” He was on the committee that could have.

The $5 million do-over. Trump ordered weeks of round-the-clock helipad construction scrapped and redone, adding to a South Lawn that already features a hole where the East Wing used to be.

Booker’s closing argument. The New Jersey senator unloaded on his colleagues ahead of the Todd Blanche vote — calling him Trump’s “sword” and “shield,” and warning the committee it would rue the day.

It's interesting how they literally tell us what they do.

Trump called Max Miller and told him “things aren’t looking good,” warning his reelection bid would be difficult following reports that Miller assaulted his ex-wife and their child. They don’t care that he’s a serial abuser, only that they win. www.axios.com/2026/08/04/t...

Trump has lost the Iran War. He could bomb the country to the “Stone Age” for the next two years, but he will still lose the war. The man is unable to outsmart his adversaries and he lacks the wisdom to cut his losses. He has no strategic vision beyond his wallet. He only wants flattery. Too sad.

The tariff refunds you paid for went out in June. What did you get besides higher prices? Not a damn thing. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

A president who won’t accept his own prosecutors’ findings, won’t accept his own polling, and won’t fire a Health Secretary who eats off the pavement — while in Baltimore, homicides hit lows and in Ohio a Dem is outraising a sitting GOP senator 4-1.
