I'm still waiting for the Republicans who asked for Eric Swalwell to resign to do the same with Lauren Boebert.
I guess sexual harassment is OK if you're a woman.
There were two big events on TV last Wednesday night: Trump's midterm convention speech and the NFL season kickoff.
The ratings are finally in: The NFL game drew more than 25 million viewers. Trump's speech reached about 3 million viewers. https://t.co/O0kAHRmadk
I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning. What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day - even on civilian railways. So far Putin has been responsible for the deaths of 1700 staff of Ukrzaliznytsia - Ukrainian Railways. They and their daily passengers are absolutely heroic.
When are we going to give them the air defences they need? Why won’t we unfreeze Putin’s cash and give it to Ukraine? There is more than €140 billion in a Belgian bank account - and about £10 billion in London. Britain could show a lead.
The Ukrainians are going to win - that much was clear from the last three days in their wonderful country. But we will get this dreadful war over much faster if we all get serious and give them what they need and deserve.
Hi @ScottJenningsKY you got very upset on behalf of Natalie Harp when @ossoff simply mentioned her name in a speech. Here is a top adviser to Trump calling your colleague @abbydphillip the c-word. Will you call her out? Condemn her? Or are you scared of Loomer?
Trump says tariffs will pay for the $5,000 checks.
But tariffs have brought in about $140 billion extra so far, against a $1.2 trillion promise. That covers roughly eleven cents per dollar.
The rest just gets borrowed. https://t.co/Xk4Gi6sAem
Katie Phang tries to interview Republican convention attendees. They avoid her, and one lets the secret slip: They’re “not allowed” to speak with the media.
Here’s a list of Scott Bessent’s wrong predictions and/or promises that didn’t happen:
February 5, 2025: Long-term interest rates would come down as Trump’s economic policies took effect.
Spring 2025: The federal deficit would move toward 3% of GDP.
Spring 2025: Trump’s policies would produce roughly 3% sustained real GDP growth.
July 8, 2025: The U.S. would collect well over $300 billion in tariff revenue in 2025.
September 1, 2025: The Supreme Court would uphold Trump’s emergency tariffs.
September 7, 2025: The economy would see a “substantial acceleration” in Q4 2025.
December 7–16, 2025: 2025 would finish with 3% to 3.5% real GDP growth.
December 16, 2025: Inflation would see a substantial drop in the first six months of 2026.
February 20, 2026: The economy could grow at least 3.5% in 2026.
April 14, 2026: 2026 GDP growth could easily exceed 3% or 3.5%.
April 14, 2026: Core inflation was falling and the Federal Reserve would need to cut interest rates.
April 14, 2026: Trump’s tariffs could be restored to their previous levels by the beginning of July.
June 2026: Again maintained that 2026 growth could reach roughly 3% to 3.5%.
2025–26: Lower energy prices, fiscal restraint and Trump’s policies would bring down long-term Treasury yields.
2025–26: Faster growth and tariff revenue would materially improve the federal deficit.
And now we get to track this one:
September 5, 2026: Oil could eventually fall to $40–$50 per barrel after the Iran war ends. The economy is now “in the liftoff phase.”
This is no coincidence. This is a multi-part plan by the GOP to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

I'm only posting this because I know that Donald Trump has for a decade now absolutely loved AI videos of political violence, especially ones in which he appears and is participating in the fighting, so I have no doubt he will absolutely love this and want every MAGA to share it
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.
Just to review today:
The Dept of Ed made a post saying they were just like Hitler.
Ted Cruz had a retweet of an account named ‘Ted Cruz’s Tiny Penis’
The WH posted a screen shot of an eagle on top of a Canadian goose but in the video the goose wins.
Trump made a ‘Mission Accomplished’ post on Iran that included George W. Bush & Iraq.
A GOP Rep. banned Jelly Roll from his district because he made a fat joke about Trump.
And the sealant on the Reflecting Pool is peeling again.
