REMEMBER The guidance coming into effect today doesn't dictate what you're allowed to do as an individual. It for service providers and business owners. Do not cower in fear, do not reduce yourself, do not isolate, that is one of the intended effects.
Americans are paying more for groceries, gas, and everything in between. So what is Donald Trump focused on? Building new ways for his family to profit from the presidency. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
Imagine If Trump Worked This Hard At Governing
Trump is working harder than ever. Just not to improve the country.

I can’t believe Iran saying they think they’ve got Oman on board with their plan to thwart US war aims is being treated as successful peace talks or an American accomplishment, even a little. That is crazy-making to me.
This is the stuff I live for. Trump being humiliated is number one on my list of joys. If he won’t leave, he needs to be humiliated. Loudly. Publicly. Often.
I'm hoping that another 90ish days of Trump's stupidity, the war in Iran, high costs, and endless corruption, plus the GOP writ large who do nothing to stop him, are gonna get crushed in November.

www.cnn.com/2026/08/05/w... The reality is that #Trump started an unnecessary war in which now #Iran can determine the ending of the war! It won’t be a smooth ending by no means and will probably have long lasting effects and just another country that will seek revenge years to come. #Blues
Live updates: Gulf official says 50-50 chance of Iran-Oman deal on Strait of Hormuz by Friday | CNN

Fifty years from now, historians will conclude that Trump's decision to go to war in Iran was likely driven principally by a desire for personal self-enrichment. The Trump and Kushner families likely executed billions in oil futures contracts and enhanced their wealth by untold sums by manipulating
Donald Trump trapped between escalation and an Iran deal on Tehran’s terms
US president faces few good options to exit a war he once said would end swiftly with the Islamic republic’s surrender

Folding like a cheap umbrella? The US has removed Iran-related sanctions, according to the US Treasury's website, Reuters reports.
as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 5h agoReuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be unlikely to risk transit without paying."
So MI's at a bit greater risk But GA, NC & ME look good, and 3 of 4 in OH, AK, IA, & TX looks doable, given the national environment. So I think Democrats are at least 50-50 to take the Senate. And other states not much discussed (e.g., KS) could well be in play. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-still-...

The fundamentals still apply after Tuesday night’s primaries. And they look good for Democrats.

This actually might just be defamation. Abdul El-Sayed might have a legitimate defamation case against his Republican opponent.
$30 million of AIPAC money targeted Abdul El-Sayed — and he still won. This shows that Zionist lobbyists are going to have a very difficult time duping American voters and buying the 2026 midterm elections for Trump and Republican fascists.
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.
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????
