"Major vandalism" in Trump's opinion. LOL! There is no tape. Donald Trump is the biggest liar and con artist in American history!!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 15h agoTrump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)
Southern California Edison’s transmission equipment ignited the 2025 Eaton Fire that killed 19 people and destroyed more than 9,400 homes and businesses, according to an Aug. 4 report issued by Los Angeles County fire officials. #energysky 🔌💡 ow.ly/R6p050Zwooy
More than half of Americans have cut out eating out just to afford necessities. That’s not belt tightening, that’s an entire country getting sucked dry while corrupt Republicans & their billionaires pretend everythings fine. We don’t fix it by staying quiet. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Trump's visit to California was a total snoozer. Very low energy. No speech. He could barely take a question on the tarmac. Night night, Grandpa!
Sportswriter Rick Reilly has accused Trump of cheating on multiple occasions and decided to dig into his tournament record in a piece for The Guardian. Reilly once remarked of Trump, "When it comes to cheating, he's an 11 on a scale of one to 10." www.the-express.com/sport/golf/2...
Trump conduct was slammed after losing to 15-year-old in golf tournament
Donald Trump has faced allegations of cheating on the golf course, but he was once beaten by a 15-year-old in a tournament and his behavior was far from gracious in defeat

What he said. What El-Sayed said this Wednesday morning. I agreed with all of it, and I am not a socialist, not a leftist radical, and not a communist. I am an old-fashioned Democrat who can recognize a politician who speaks to my values, principles, and issues. If I lived in Michigan, he's the one.
Do they make draft-dodgers generals now?
Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · 20h agoThis is a man who has a hard time looking in the mirror
She's one of a couple republicans told she can vote no. If she weren't up against Troy Jackson, she'd totally confirm Blanche.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 20h agoBREAKING on MS NOW: Susan Collins says she's voting against Todd Blanche's nomination to be Attorney General.
“No one knows more about construction than me.” —A president who stupidly built a helipad on a slope, so it had to be torn apart and rebuilt because it, duh, wasn’t level.
A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.
Watching the returns from Virginia. Not a single woman running on the Republican ticket is winning; whereas, several women are ahead on the Democratic ticket. Same old story for the GOP: Grand Ol' Patriarchy.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
He voted for the scum who is legally obligated to remedy the Epstein class abuse allegations but is refusing to do so.
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · yesterdayQ: Epstein survivors said your yes vote on Todd Blanche would have a chilling effect on survivors of sexual assault, what is your response? Republican Senator Cornyn: I don't believe there is anything we can do to assuage them. That's one of those things that can't be remedied
I discovered Vasco Road 2 years ago, when I started Uber driving. It’s become one of my favorite rides. I was fascinated with those turbines when I was a kid. Now I drive right up to them. And I’ve never seen a dead bird….not one.
Scottish actor #BrianCox, best known for playing Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession, isn’t afraid to speak his mind. In an interview with TRT World’s Ghida Fakhry, Cox explained why he refuses to stay quiet despite concerns about Hollywood backlash......” #AllHeroesDontWearCapes 🇵🇸
"Welcome to the Death Rattle of the Democratic Establishment" Here's a retirement party for James Carville, Bill Maher, & establishment hacks who are threatening to leave the Dem Party if progressives & Democratic Socialists continue winning elections. thelefthook.substack.com/p/welcome-th...
Judge Emmet Sullivan got the Epstein files but the email addresses and the names of the sender are still redacted, claiming that the senders are victims. I'm waiting for the judge to demand the full release.
The bipartisan House Ethics Committee said it has found “substantial evidence” that GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards repeatedly made unwanted advances toward two of his female staffers and is recommending that the full House vote to punish him on the floor. https://cnn.it/3TEyiNO
Meet 1090F. She's the majestic matriarch of one of Yellowstone's best-known #wolf families: Mollie's pack. At 12 years old, she's also the area's oldest living wolf, and her pack is one of the most documented wolf packs in the world. But this wolf and her pack are in imminent danger.
Bees struggle in this weather 🥵 We find a lot of bees running out of fuel when perched on our sunflowers Use a water bottle & fine spray the flowers, fruit, seeds (what ever stage they are at) close to the bee, & they will hoover them up & regain strength
BREAKING: The newly elected Prime Minister of Hungary announced that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary.
Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.
Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.
Instead of going all ballistic about Iran getting nuclear weapons, I would like to see a candidate for President of the United States run on a promise to unilaterally disarm, discard, and destroy all of this country's nuclear weapons and call on all other nuclear nations to do the same.
The Dems should start labeling the GOP and Trump as “Corporate Socialists.” They always have money to help big business but never for the individual American.
