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.
Trump reported a staggering 1,051 trades in his June financial disclosure. Here are two of the more curious ones:
— June 18: Bought $250K–$500K in Boeing, the same day the Navy awarded Boeing an $880 million contract for P-8A training systems.
— June 23: Bought $15K–$50K in SpaceX, the same day NASA recorded a $425.6 million award to SpaceX.
USS Abraham Lincoln’s resupply problems weren’t a mystery. Iran hit NSA Bahrain—the 5th Fleet’s main logistics hub—hard in February. The Navy had to shift to Diego Garcia, 2,200 miles away instead of ~800. Transit times roughly tripled, so replenishment dropped from every ~3 days to ~10. That’s the logistics reality behind the shortages and 200+ days at sea without a port call. The Pentagon fired the editor of Stars and Stripes for telling the truth.
Trump’s U.S. debt compared to all U.S. Presidents in history put together.
Do you think MAGA are still working it all out how billionaires became multi-multi- billionaire’s under Trump yet? 🤫
EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s pardons have cost crime victims a staggering $1.7 billion in restitution while wiping away penalties for wealthy fraudsters and political allies, according to a new congressional review.

“ABC’s entire complaint is a chilling catalogue of governmental efforts to restrict speech at the behest of the president…He does not believe in freedom of speech. He believes only in obeisance and obedience.”

Capital One cheats customers and gets caught.
They agree to pay back $2.2 billion.
Then they donate $1 million to Trump.
Poof! Settlement canceled.
Cap One pockets $2.2 billion instead.
The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.
That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.
BREAKING: The US Government officially posts its largest July budget deficit in history, at -$432 billion, due to an acceleration in federal spending.
Interest on US debt rose +$26 billion from last July's levels to an alarming $118 billion for the month.
This puts total interest expense for FY2026 up to $1.17 trillion in FY2026.
As a result, interest expense has officially surpassed both National Defense and Medicare spending.
In other words, the US government now spends more money just on interest than it does to fund the entire US Military or to provide healthcare for seniors.
We cannot afford higher interest rates.
The $423 million allotted for vanity projects at the White House and the National Mall is larger than the combined funding this year for:
— Grand Canyon
— Yellowstone
— Yosemite
— Joshua Tree
— Grand Teton
— Zion
— Mammoth Cave
— The Statue of Liberty complex
— Golden Gate National Park
