NEW: I left the country for two weeks, and, as I wrote in my OUR LAND newsletter, being less engaged with our bonkers news cycle made it easier to see that we're drowning in a sea of stupid.

Great foresight on that Iraq War.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump: I've predicted everything. I've been right about everything. It's how I got to be President 3 times

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

This sounds so familiar.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kennedy: This guy is a predator. And you don't want him anywhere near power.

Kellyanne: These allegations of abuse, assault, disparaging our military… it just goes on and on and never seems enough for the Democratic Party to chuck this guy.

Trump is a rube for Putin.

[Aaron Blake @AaronBlake]

Trump:

"I talk to President Putin a lot, and he wants to end the war. A lot of people don't believe that."

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Factcheck; It isn’t a problem at all.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump on NATO: "Greenland is a big problem for us"

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

We found the voter fraud!!!!

[ProPublica @propublica]

New: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” https://t.co/MwZhEg3EJl

Yesterday, Trump gave a speech full of hate/paranoia & hailed “American exceptionalism.” Guess what—before it was politically advantageous to take this position, he dismissed US exceptionalism & said it was “not a nice term.” I provide receipts:

Trump is a greater threat to the Constitution than the CPUSA.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

“Communism is the enemy of free people everywhere. It is the enemy of the Constitution. Above all, it is the enemy of July 4, 1776.” - President Donald J. Trump

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Happy One of the Worst July 4ths in US history. The good news: the best American values & principles will eventually triumph over Trump, his vanity, his corruption & his politics of hate. After all, Americans have risen up against a tyrant before.

Including discriminating against minority home seekers.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: What are your plans for the housing bill?

Trump: I don’t know. I think it's so unimportant compared to the Save America Act. Democrats like it. They are getting things that I wouldn’t necessarily agree to. I made a lot of money with housing.

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Giving Trump access to a secret list of Russians being targeted for recruitment or tracked by US intelligence would be a colossal mistake and threat to US security interests.

[Dr. Dan Lomas @Sandbagger_01]

"The Trump administration is demanding that ... officials turn over the names of all foreign espionage targets, including suspected spies and potential recruits, to create a master list".

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Republicans in Congress handed out over $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% — and they slashed over $1 trillion from health care and food assistance.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in one law in American history.

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

Elon is now trying to shift the blame for dismantling USAID, America's greatest soft-power tool, by endorsing claims that he was "just an adviser."

Yet when USAID was being dismantled, Musk proudly declared: "We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper." The man even posed with a chainsaw on stage afterward.

A new Lancet study estimates that USAID programs prevented nearly 92 million deaths between 2001 and 2021, including more than 30 million children under five.

If the 2025 cuts continue, researchers project more than 14 million additional preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children. That's a death toll on the scale of the First World War, driven by cuts to humanitarian aid rather than a global war.

These broligarchs are completely detached from reality. They have zero accountability, and seem unable to grasp that their decisions have real-world consequences measured in millions of lives.

He was a great friend to have—and much missed by many.

Remembering the late, hilarious RICHARD LEWIS — born 79yrs ago today.

I miss our chats hugely.

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

NEW: In my OUR LAND newsletter, I explain the fundamental reality of the Iran debacle: This was a stupid war that has ended—if it has—in stupid fashion. Billions of dollars spent, 1000s of lives lost, Americans economically harmed—all for no good reason.

A groundbreaking investigation by Pema Levy and Melissa Lewis goes deep on the right-wing funding networks pushing the Supreme Court to give billionaires what they want.

SCOOP: Trump resurrected the statue of a slave owner. It cost taxpayers half a million dollars. From @abbyvesoulis and @dfriedman33 .

This deal is so transparently absurd that only the cultists can defend it.

[Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr]

The only problem with this quote is that @tedcruz is lying thru his teeth about the deal. We're not giving them a cent and he knows that. Using fake news about the peace deal to undermine @realDonaldTrump is the opposite of MAGA.

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Trump just signed the MOU. Stop blaming this on his lackeys.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Ben Shapiro: "This MOU appears to be a disaster that does not achieve any of the signal goals that were set by the administration at the beginning ... in my opinion the vice president, the chief negotiator, has not well served the president"
