-It is still Lake Ontario
-It is still the Gulf of Mexico
-It is still the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
-He is still a pedophile.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I disagree. I hope every news program across our great nation leads with "The President had a temper tantrum and tried to rename one of the Great Lakes"

Dear America Voter,

This is what the Trump admin is focused on today, when they aren’t insider trading, making everything more expensive, selling pardons, and taking bribes from cronies.

Vote out all Republican enablers of this corrupt and pathetic regime.

The beneficiary here is Australian billionaire Michael Dorrell, who gave $1 million to the Trump/Vance Inaugural Committee.

I have, day in and day out since Jan 2025, posted hundreds of examples of Trump’s blatant corruption this term hoping that enough people notice and care. Here is the latest.

This behavior would normally get you committed to an insane asylum. Instead we elected this demented fool president. This is beyond embarrassing.

Yet another extension of Hegseth’s culture war purge.

It is deep, wide and relentless.

And—-piece by piece—it’s effectively hollowing out the independent, data-driven, and objective culture of the military.

It’s making our military more homogenous, more political, and more extreme.

Dumber. And weaker.

And our enemies are celebrating.🚨🇺🇸

Narcissists can't help but reveal their narcissistic pathology through absurdity and clownishness due to always having to be right and getting retribution for ego injuries. That's why it’s a personality disorder. It hampers their ability to function like normal human beings.

In 2021 Natalie Harp thought nothing of demonizing Ruby Freeman, a Georgia poll worker targeted by Trump. Harp also mocked Michael Fanone a Capitol Police officer who was badly injured on Jan. 6th. She also used racist themes in some of her coverage.

Kellogg: On Independence Day, no official U.S. representative came. Finland’s president came. Britain’s prime minister came.

You cannot negotiate Ukraine’s future without seeing Ukraine at war.

I came as a private citizen. You need to see what Ukrainians live through.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Kellogg: Witkoff and Kushner have never seen war like in Ukraine.

They may know real estate. I do not.

They do not understand war, Russia, the enemy, or the human cost.

Putting them in these talks is a mistake, because this is not their skill.

I hope when Trump spends money from his PAC on the midterms, Democrats will point out that many millions of it were contributed by criminals right before they received pardons, commutations and charges dropped from Trump & his DOJ. It’s dirty bribe money from wealthy criminals.

Plaintiffs respond to Team Trump threat to demolish Kennedy Center:

“Tellingly, Defendants do not dispute that their prior efforts to emblazon the building with Pres. Trump’s name may have irrevocably damaged the Center’s historic marble façade. Instead, Defendants now openly threaten to do further damage”

South Carolina Senator Darline Graham says national security is "not my thing." Nancy Lacore has spent 35 years making it hers. Lacore commanded 60,000 sailors as a Vice Admiral, before Pete Hegseth wrongfully fired her. Now she's running for the U.S. House, because South Carolina deserves at least one representative who shows up knowing the job.

[Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot]

Trump doesn’t seem to realize that “Mission Accomplished” became a punchline after George W. Bush gave a speech aboard an aircraft carrier with that banner as a backdrop in 2003. Unless Trump’s goal was to have Iran close the Strait of Hormuz, it’s hard to imagine what “mission” he has accomplished.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

The Postal Service’s job is to deliver your ballot. It is not Donald Trump’s job to decide whether you get one. Our elections are run by the states, not the President.

Voting is about to begin, and Trump is trying to rewrite the rules on the eve of it. With the first mail ballots going out next week, his Administration is trying to impose new requirements on states that have already spent months preparing to run their elections.

And he is trying to push those changes through before the courts have even determined whether he has the authority to do it in the first place.

We are not going to stand by while Donald Trump tries to seize power over our elections that does not belong to him, and we will fight him in court every step of the way.

Donald Trump does not get to invent powers the Constitution never gave him.

The GOP healthcare plan is finally announced,

so, those who died don't count? those who suffered side effects for life, like deafness, don't count?
incredibly heartless, & unforgiveably stupid.
some lucky persons survive rattlesnake bites, too. sounds like fun.
