Mary Trump: “The depths of the corruption of this family shouldn’t surprise us because that’s what happens when you grow up in a family in which money literally is the only thing that matters, when your entire sense of self-worth is tied up in your financial worth. They have stolen or grifted billions and billions of dollars and yet they still need somebody to foot the bill for a wedding? What that says to me is that these people are so egregiously on the take, they will sell themselves and the American people to the highest bidder”

Dr. Jesse McGuire’s trumpet stopped working during his National Anthem performance at the D-Backs game last night and OH WOW! The man has a voice! Well done Dr. McGuire!

The Jerusalem Post runs an op-ed suggesting using indebted Americans to invade Iran...words fail me.

NEWS: Texas has quietly shoved more than 1.2 million voters — over 6% of its rolls — onto the "suspense list" heading into a midterm the GOP is terrified of losing, and most of those people won't find out until they're standing at a polling place in November. Check your registration before October 5, because they're purging the rolls to save Ken Paxton.

DOGE famously used keyword searches for terms like "climate" to terminate federal grants.

Among the victims: a collab between USAID and NASA for flood prediction, early warning, disaster readiness, glacier inventories, and mapping dangerous glacial lakes...

...in Nepal.

This is the third person in Mike Collins' inner circle that has been outed as a white supremacist or a Nazi.

BREAKING: JPMorgan warns a large-scale global food supply crisis could hit within the next year, forecasting global food inflation to nearly double from 2.8% now to 5% by early 2027, per JPMorgan Global Research.

The direct driver is fertilizer, 1/3 of the world's nitrogen fertilizer moves through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has kept shut since February. Unlike oil, there’s no strategic reserve for fertilizer and nothing to release.

Nitrogen fertilizer goes into about half of all crops grown globally.

🚨ABSOLUTELY WASTEFUL:

Trump’s Freedom 250 has turned DC into his personal racetrack. 1,800 cement barriers. 220+ manhole covers welded down. Millions to repave streets. Reagan flights halted for 3 hours.

Americans need affordable lives
more than Trump’s f*cking racetrack.

🚨 ALARMING: Over the last 48 hours, top #SouthKorean news outlets—Yonhap News, SBS Biz, and E-Daily—have raised urgent red flags over Trump’s latest interview signaling a potential "national emergency" declaration before the 2026 #midterm elections.

With #GOP approval plummeting to 35% and #Democrats surging ahead on key issues, major international media are sounding the alarm: #ROK media externally analyzes that Mr Trump is flirting with an unprecedented executive power grab to force voter restrictions like the #SAVEAct and seize election control.

When foreign press reports on American democracy with this level of dread, we cannot look away. An emergency power play to bypass Congress and hijack the midterms threatens the bedrock of constitutional democracy. (8/13) 🇺🇸⚠️

A group of Democratic lawmakers have asked the Pentagon’s watchdog to open an investigation after The Post revealed that 15 companies with investment from President Trump’s sons have garnered $3.2 billion in federal contracts, investments and loans. https://t.co/2rGxZHIg83

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time.

Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Nebraska's only immigration court now runs 'mega master' hearings — sometimes more than 100 cases a day. Lawyers say people are being ordered deported without a fair chance. Link in comments.

#BREAKING: Liz Oyer: “I was shocked to hear Mr Blanche’s testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false. His claim that it had nothing to do with the concerns I raised is contradicted by documents and evidence. His claim that he tried to call me before sending marshals to my home is flat out false. His claim that it is normal for DOJ to use armed law enforcement officers to deliver mail to the homes of its former employees is preposterous. The casual lies that Mr Blanche tells, even while sitting in this chair testifying to this committee, are emblematic of a much larger problem. To the American public, it looks like Mr Blanche is running DOJ as Donald Trump’s personal law firm. Americans across the political spectrum rely on DOJ to keep us safe and free. Mr Blanche has shown that he is willing to put all of that at risk to serve a political agenda. I beg the members of this committee to think about what this is costing our country. Please do not degrade our justice system further by promoting Mr Blanche.” 😳
