It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Just to be clear, Bernie Sanders and Josh Hawley proposed a bill in the Senate a year ago, along with AOC and Luna in the House, to cap interest rates on credit cards at 10%. It is nice that Trump has suddenly decided to get on board with it in an election year.

I think this is just the right amount of rage required here.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Who needs details?

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad

Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

Can we continue to follow up on this $130 million donation Trump says his anonymous friend donated to pay troops until we see actual proof of the money coming in and where it went?

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Here’s what was NOT released today:

- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ

- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed

- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison

- the Epstein files

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."

The WSJ Editorial Board with a brutal review of the Trump-Putin summit:

“The Russians achieved one of his major goals from the summit, which is the start of his rehabilitation as a world leader. The summit ended his isolation from the West, and he gave up nothing for it..”

NEW: A federal appeals court ruled Saturday that the Trump administration's bid to shut off public access to crucial government spending data was an affront to Congress' power of the purse — and a law requiring disclosure.

🚨DISINFORMATION ALERT - a photo being circulated on social media 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘴 to show President Obama with Jeffrey Epstein.

The photo is of Obama with Anthony Bourdain.

The photo was taken when Bourdain was interviewing Obama in a small restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam for his show Parts Unknown.

New U.S. jobs report shows 2025 is off to a discouragingly sluggish start Over the first six months of the year, American job growth has slowed to a 15-year low. It's worth asking why.

“The question Trump and his team ought to face is simple:

'Why has American job growth slowed this year to a 15-year low?'”

The Senate's “Big, Beautiful Bill” will create a disaster for rural moms and babies Medicaid cuts could lead to the shuttering of maternity services at more than 140 rural hospitals.

Women and babies who live in areas that voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump are likely to suffer some of the most sweeping and damaging effects of the "Big, Beautiful Bill."

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."

They plan to roll back green energy investments. That will spike our utility bills while warming our planet. A double hit only the GOP could conjure.

From "stay the hell out" to "MAGA"

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization?

Rubio: That’s irrelevant

Host: No, that's a key point

Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

Starting to think these folks aren’t the “free thinkers” they think they are

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country."

Don't let that slide by.
