Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley, Piyush Amrit Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal, Raphael Edward Cruz ran as Ted Cruz, & who knows what JD Vance's actual name is. But yes the real issue is Dr. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is running as Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

“We should return to an older and more accurate name for the Civil War: the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. If a country unquestioningly adopts language that obscures its bloodiest crimes to absolve their worst perpetrators, how can we expect successive generations to remember the new assaults on democracy

The use by multiple admins of our control over global finance as a weapon led others to seek alternatives to US financial hegemony. But Trump's reckless and unnecessary blunder in Iran may be the final straw, ceding the dollar's dominance. What a disaster he created by his ego and stupidity.
The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.
Let me get this straight... Trump is blocking $1B in Medicaid payments to blue states over spurious accusations of mass fraud. Meanwhile, he's literally pardoned over 70 convicted fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole over $1.3B from Medicare and Medicaid. Hello?
🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

Kash Patel heads to Moscow before the Midterms. They're making a deal with Russia to help steal another election. Trump would never have come to power in 2016 without the Kremlin's illegal help. His Big Lie distracts from the truth of how we got into this crisis. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

“The right way to honor our service members now is to prevent more of them from being killed. The way to honor our troops is by ending, not escalating, Trump’s War. Congress is in session this week. It should do everything it can to end Trump’s War.”
Life under a two-tier justice system. There is a real process for people to seek pardons. But its been set aside for cronies, crooks and donors
Ken Vogel@kenvogel.bsky.social · 2w agoSCOOP: After pardoning hundreds of allies over the course of his 1st 18 months back in the White House, Trump this month quietly rejected clemency applications from nearly 6,000 people who mostly lacked connections & had been waiting in a queue at the Justice Department.

No real spoilers here, but both OPPENHEIMER and THE ODYSSEY are Nolan's unsubtle commentary on the immense chaos, death, and bloodshed arrogant men have caused by pursuing what they assumed was a righteous cause. And the tragedy is that no one learns the lessons and repeats the mistakes. Hmmmm....
The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

I would like to remind everyone that this was Markwayne Mullin, just hours before he voted to certify the results of the 2020 election.
I don't think we're masochistic. I just think way too many of us are stupid and victims of right wing media lies.
In all seriousness, Trump and Republicans are setting the stage right now to attack our democracy, steal our elections, and violently crush any dissent. Wake up, America.
