A Trump Order Protected a Weedkiller. And Also a Weapon of War.

Trump signed an EO benefitting Bayer, the makers of cancer-linked weedkiller Roundup and deadly munitions component white phosphorus.

It came after Bayer hired top Trumpworld lobbyist Brian Ballard and spent over $9M last year on federal lobbying.

"Drain the swamp."

As a reminder, you do not, in fact, have to prove you're remotely intelligent to be named chairman of the Intelligence Committee

Everyone here knows Fox News lies to its viewers, but this is an example that not even the most diehard members of the cult can deny, and it's important to not brush it off.

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.

This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

to dignify a destructive,

it's just wrong

Used to tune into Warner Bros. News-CNN before that silk-suit kissing Licht started doing his scallywaggery to watch @johnjharwood.bsky.social 'slice and dice' the proven felon and racist Trump. Harwood and Brian Wiliams were like Letterman, like surgeons β€” the cut so clean, Trump didn't even know.

Is This the Year Texas Goes Blue? The signs are familiar: an unpopular Republican president, well-funded Democrats and anecdotes of disaffected G.O.P. and independent voters.

No Democrat has won a statewide election in Texas since 1994. In fact, only one major statewide race has even been close this century β€” when Beto O’Rourke came within three points of knocking out Senator Ted Cruz in 2018.

New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low.

When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?
