James Talarico: "A lot of folks in Texas voted for Donald Trump because they thought he was gonna get the economy back on track. They remembered the economy of 2017, 2018, 2019. That was Barack Obama's economy. Donald Trump was presiding over it.
Now they are seeing the admin has done the opposite. Tariffs, the war in Iran has been driving up prices. They're feeling disillusioned. He's let them down. They thought he was gonna release the Epstein files, he did the opposite."
Just a reminder that every ocean ship entering the Great Lakes goes through the Welland Canal. Eight locks, twenty-seven miles, all of it in Ontario.
That is the route. $26.3 billion of American trade depends on it.
Trump didn’t think this through.
Matthew Evans (@MatthewEvansUK) is Reform UK’s candidate for East Markham, Bassetlaw.
He’s also a massive hypocrite.
He’s been out pounding the streets and posting constantly online about how “the Tories helped break Bassetlaw”.
The problem is, he was a Tory from 2017 (when he was 17) until just last year. So he’s been a Tory his whole life. Now he wants to tell you they are the problem.
He was even office manager for Conservative, Brendan Clarke-Smith MP (@Bren4Bassetlaw). Here’s a picture of him with @BorisJohnson, and another visiting @RishiSunak at No.10.
What’s an opportunist.
BREAKING: YES! A federal court delivers nightmare news to Don Jr. by ruling that states DO have the power to regulate the prediction markets like they do gambling — dealing a massive blow to his investments.
This was well past due...
A panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals composed entirely of Trump appointees ruled 3-0 in favor of Nevada regulators who sought to regulate Kalshi, a "prediction" site that allows users to gamble on future events.
The distinction between "prediction markets" and traditional gambling is a fictitious branding loophole designed to allow these companies to circumvent the law. If you're betting money on future outcomes, that's gambling plain and simple!
With the blessing of the incredibly corrupt Trump administration, companies like Kalshi and Polymarket have pushed to operate under federal oversight rather than state gambling laws. It is, of course, no coincidence that Don Jr. and other prominent MAGA cronies are heavily invested in these kinds of companies.
In fact, it was recently revealed that the President's son urged Republican state attorneys general to steer clear of targeting prediction markets. He knows full well that if states are allowed to regulate them, meaning levy taxes and in some cases outlaw them outright, it will be a devastating blow to the burgeoning industry.
The issue will likely end up in front of the Supreme Court, at which point we'll see if the MAGA-controlled justices do what they sometimes do and hand down a just, Constitutionally-based ruling. If they do, the states will prevail.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand the states!
@StephenKing Donald Trump is so unpatriotic. Imagine renaming the smallest Great Lake as Lake America. Has he no respect or is he just a dribbling paedophile?
LCOL Danielle Parton’s father is Bobby Parton, who is Dolly's younger brother (the fifth of the 12 Parton children, while Dolly is the fourth)
She is a decorated combat veteran and retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard who flew C-130 and C-5 aircraft, and she now works as a commercial airline pilot.
She owns and operates the Shine Girl moonshine distillery located in Sevierville, Tennessee.
Oh great, so now not only has poor old Mrs Ashworth lost her arthritis PIP payments and is facing eviction for not being able to pull up a few dandelions... she can't even visit her grandkids in France during an election without forfeiting her vote. What a bunch of cunts.
Ossoff: That's the debate that Georgians deserve. See, they deserve to have a debate where we would ask Congressman Mike Collins why he voted for this disastrous war in Iran, why he voted to double health insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians, why he voted for the Trump tariffs that are making everything more expensive.
Instead, the State of Georgia has to grapple with the fact that the sitting member of Congress and candidate for Senate has extensive and growing well-documented ties to white nationalism and neo-Nazi ideology. And so, again, let me be very clear that the congressman needs to hold this press conference today.
No more hiding. No more running away. No more refusing to answer questions. No more hiding his office's communications. Will he release, in full, his office's communications with these white supremacists? He needs to answer that question today.
For my column this week, I did something different by handing it over to some brilliant young people on my Summer School - Anna, Charlotte, Erin and James - so they can tell you about their experience.

Every ship entering the Great Lakes goes through the Welland Canal, located fully in Canada. There’s no other option. $26.3 billion of US trade depends on it. Would be a shame if tolls skyrocketed or it was transit-taxed heavily…
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@PolitlcsUK What the idiots fail to realise is people book holidays months in advance whereas GE's are called at 6 weeks notice so no-one is choosing to disenfranchise themselves - that is just desperation like Trump to block postal voting
Bonkers.
This would disenfranchise so many - those who happen to be on holiday, or away with work, or unexpectedly have an emergency on polling day.
Anyone who has knocked doors for elections knows all of these happen & how many people wish they had a PV when they do!
I spent LBJ Day with his daughter, Luci Baines Johnson.
I’m running for her father’s Senate seat to continue LBJ’s fight for education, healthcare, and economic opportunity for all.
I’m honored to be in this fight with Luci. In November, we’re going to win back her dad’s seat.
🟥 Thank you Madam Hillary Clinton, for this truth about Mark Carney and Canada 🍁👌🏼:
“You know, 40% of Ohio's exports go to Canada.
Something like 60% of Michigan's exports go to Canada.
I can't imagine that the Republicans in those states or literally anywhere in the country are enthusiastic about this nonsense that Trump is promoting, and you know, probably secretly CHEERING Mark Carney for standing up to him, and doing what he's now doing on behalf of his country.”
Why would Canada buy planes from the country that is waging a trade war against us and which is arguably our greatest long-term military threat?
Sweden promises to set up production here and give us 12,000+ jobs if we buy Gripen jets.
Cancel the F-35s. Go with the Gripen.
