Jennifer Welch: “What bothers me most about Donald Trump is the cultural rot of how much worse he’s made the population. Trump is gonna die or he’s not gonna be in power, that’s gonna happen sooner rather than later, but that doesn’t fix anything. There’s still this cultural rot of a generation. He’s made the country less moral, less just, and dumber”

In the last 30 days, 30,000+ new readers have joined @TangleNews

We have over 500,000 people signed up for multiple newsletters and should do $6m/year in revenue this year. 70,000+ paid subscribers. We have hired three full-time people in the last month, bringing our team to 15.

The "secret" is simple: Good content. Ideological diversity. Nuance. Elevating strong arguments from smart people on big, divisive topics, offering our own unique analysis, and then letting our audience make up their minds.

Following politics does not have to be sensational rage-bait. It doesn't have to be exhausting. It doesn't have to make you hate other Americans. You *might* have to read a bit, but you can change your mind, expand your views, more earnestly defend your convictions, all without going insane.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

The sheer scale and audacity of what Trump and his family are doing to monetize the presidency in every possible way for their own gain is really breathtaking, and laden with so many conflicts they're Too Big to Trail.

Right in front of our faces. Zero attempt to hide or conceal it. Absolute, total self-enrichment at a magnitude we have never really seen. And every week brings a new story just like it. They're getting richer at every opportunity.

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

The USDA released a report showing that Kentucky has one of the lowest SNAP payment error rates in the U.S. – nearly six points below the national average. While federal food assistance is being cut, we’re making every dollar count and helping Kentucky families who need it most.

[Lesley Abravanel 🪩 @lesleyabravanel]

Not us. Not Democrats. Not ‘the media.’ A Republican congressman just said it: ‘We won all the damn elections — why are we screaming fraud?’ The answer? Because the lie was never about 2020. It was about making sure you stop believing your vote counts.

[CRG @Cantrushit]

Let me get this straight: it was too expensive to cancel up to $400 billion in student loan debt (which would have freed up the spending power of millions of Americans so money going back into the economy). So instead, [checks notes] we're going to give $300 billion to Iran.

[Warren @swd2]

So all of you guys who were in my comments last month talking about how food assistance should not include candy and soda but actual healthy foods, I suppose you’re going to call your members of Congress and the White House about this?

Hey, Lisa Murkowski, was selling your soul and selling out Alaska worth it?

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Rep. Fletcher: The New World screwworm has been found in Texas. This flesh-eating parasite previously eradicated from the U.S. poses a huge threat to our cattle. Last March, the Trump administration fired more than 15,000 USDA employees and eliminated a program to contain the screwworm in Central America. The threat of New World screwworm is just one consequence of the Trump administration's reckless campaign to eliminate funding for government programs that Americans rely on.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

The next time you pull up to a national park and pay the entrance fee, know this:

Our parks have $23 billion in repairs that have never been made.

But instead of prioritizing that our national parks are clean, maintained, and ready for your next visit, the President is spending some of the money on vanity projects like painting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue.

@Ike_Saul One whole week…

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.

He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.

He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.

He was impeached by his own party for corruption.

Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.

Together we will stop him.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @WhiteHouse: Your new stupid Green Card policy will help competitors such as China and Russia. The U.S. will have a significant exodus of top researchers, scientists, and industry leaders in multiple fields, ranging from medicine to technology to advanced manufacturing.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

There’s so much going on that it’s easy to overlook the fact that the president is telling so many lies.

Here’s a fact check of 28 different false claims President Donald Trump made from Monday through Friday. https://t.co/K0hfbxA7TS

While all these people are posting about their “victimization” and how they deserve our money, Damin is doing a brilliant job reading into their cases and reminding folks what actually happened on Jan 6. A worthwhile follow.
