BREAKING: Seattle just passed a 1-year moratorium on data center construction. It's now the largest U.S. city to enact a pause or ban.

Today trump said “I love the inflation.”

Inflation surged to 4.2%, a three year high.

November is coming.

This is an ominous preview of just one way in which @POTUS may try to interfere with an election his party is on track to lose: Impeding the delivery of mail-in ballots by the USPS.
Remember 2020 and January 6th before you say he'd never do THAT!

LA County confirmed these ballots were not counted. Unfortunately a few people thought a library drop box was the same as a ballot drop box.

A thousand dollars says I will still get this post in the replies from accounts that value narrative over the truth.

Fmr FBI Agent Michael Feinberg: "Something that absolutely chilled my blood was when both JD Vance and Stephen Miller told ICE officers and agents, 'You have absolute immunity in what you need to do.' That is the exact opposite of how I was trained."

He’s saying we will hit whatever the fuck we want to hit to hurt them most.

That’s what he’s saying.
He’s saying there’s no such thing as a war crime if it accomplishes our objectives of bringing the leadership to its knees.
We will target civilian infrastructure if we have to.

That’s what he’s saying.

@SeanTrende In my whole life covering politics I can really think of one story where there was what you might call systemic fraud - conspiracy to cast many fraudulent votes - and it the statistical fingerprint made it obvious and the NC GOP operative who did it got nabbed and prosecuted.

A nugget buried in the big NYT piece on how the Trump White House had an internal freak-out over the Epstein case....If Bondi didn't use DOJ email, what did she use? I recall a time when the right (and the NYT) went ballistic over a Cabinet official's use of non-gov't email.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

One time loretta lynch was on the same tarmac as Bill Clinton and went into his plane to talk.

@BretBaier has done 176 segments on that outrageous breach of Justice Department norms.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Bombshell from Haberman and Swan:

Trump wanted the Epstein issue buried and snapped at anyone who mentioned it.

In the days before WSJ published that Epstein birthday book scoop, Trump tried to quash the story by calling Rupert Murdoch, News Corp.'s chief executive, and The Journal's editor in chief.

He failed. https://t.co/FRS0DNATAh

The same people who said masks were "literally 1984" think this is fine.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

so mysterious what this could have meant! it's like Charlie Manson shuddering at how "bad" someone else was.

How does it feel to know your tax dollars are being used to send Laura Loomer to Cuba?

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

The constitution of Iowa requires that a person be a resident of the state for at least two years prior before they can be elected as Governor.

This leaves Democrat Rob Sand as the only eligible candidate on the ballot.

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

If you think California is taking a while to count votes, wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein files…

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

MAGA just kept introducing new diseases to America until they found one that ivermectin actually works for!
