Our Constitutional Republic allows for our robust Democracy. Verifiable facts matter; sometimes snarky. #RedSoxNation #VOTEBLUE

Every former ally is learning what most Americans know: Trump is a dangerous fool who only serves himself and never the best interests of our beloved country. We can only hope that one day they will forgive us for letting this poisonous creature into our White House again.

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

Today I attended a rally to support the workers at the Amana Whirlpool plant. Nearly 350 workers have just been laid off and clocked out for the last time today. No more paycheck, no more health benefits, no severance.

An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her. In between, an ad from the common sense leadership fund lauds the president's "understanding of the art of the deal" and boosts his alleged pro-business agenda

An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her.

The contrast is ghoulish. A "pro-business" president nearly killing people because cruelty is the point.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.

In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.

The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

I think both Stephen Miller and Donald Trump are sociopaths, unable to feel empathy for other people's pain.

But I don't think Trump, a man who slugged a 13-year-old girl in the head and wanted the military to shoot protesters, is indifferent to the infliction of pain.

Trump says Iran was β€œtwo weeks” from a nuke.
Experts say months. Congress briefed on intel says no evidence. Rubio said Iran isn’t even enriching right now..
and Trump already claimed he β€œobliterated” Iran’s program 2 months ago!

So which is it? Same pattern. More Lies!

Here is Trump’s post from Aug 5, 2024, where he claims Biden/Harris to be the most incompetent leaders in history amid a bad economy, market
crashes and fears of World War III.

And here we are today. As usual everything with Trump is a declaration of his failures, incompetence, and stupidity.

Dagens US: Huge loss for US Army, $500m missile defense radar obliterated in Iranian strike.

If we have $500 Million dollars to waste on an illegal war, we have money to feed hungry school kids.

What happened in Texas was intentional. Designed to discourage voters, and it’s part of a national plan led by the same Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

🚨 Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over midterms.

Watch all of this.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Contrarians Combat Trump’s Wrongdoing at Home and Abroad Fighting on all fronts: Publisher's Roundup 57

Congress ordered the Kennedy Center to be a living memorial

Trump wants to shut it down & demolish it anyway

So we amended our lawsuit & sought emergency court relief to stop the destruction of national cultural institution

Screenshot of an excerpt of a Bulwark article by Lt. Gen. (retired) Mark Hertling:

***

This is why responsible national leadership requires two qualities at the same time: expertise and, in my view, a level of discomfort and anxiety.

Expertise ensures decisions are grounded in strategyβ€”clear thinking about ends, ways, and means. What is the political objective? What military action advances it? How do those individual tactical actions contribute to an operational plan? What risks follow? What happens the day after the strikes end?

Discomfort serves as a moral and strategic guardrail. Leaders who feel the weight of ordering teenagers toward hardship, injury, and death are more likely to ask the necessary hard questions. They consult widely, think about escalation, and remember that war is not simply a tool of policy but a human undertaking with irreversible consequences.

The paradox is that those who understand force best are rarely eager to use it. They prepare for it. They plan for it. They master it. But they never become comfortable with it.

If a president is becoming more knowledgeable about military power, that is a good thing. If he is becoming β€œcomfortable” ordering it, that should give all of us pauseβ€”because too much comfort with the desire to use force is rarely a sign of wisdom.

Seven million borrowers remain stuck in uncertainty as courts refuse to abruptly kill the SAVE repayment plan, yet the government still hasn’t clarified the path forward. Payments, forgiveness timelines, and future rules all hang in limbo while political and legal fights continue.

Minneapolis cartoonist Steve Sack has been on a roll lately.

He's been on the front lines of the ICE invasion and his cartoons are boiling with rage at ICE and Mad Emperor Piggy. Well worth checking out his Substack.
