I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.

We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.

I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.

And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.

And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.

The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.

I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.

🚨BREAKING: Trump’s voter fraud speech is BACKFIRING as Americans flood social media with the recording of Trump demanding Georgia “find 11,780 votes” after he lost the 2020 election.

Trump is the last person on Earth who should be talking about election fraud.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

Esto es Kentucky (EEUU), una iglesia evangélica organizó una simulación de fusilamiento de inmigrantes delante de niños que acudieron a un campamento de verano.

Puro amor al prójimo, excepto si eres negro, homosexual, inmigrante, comunista o musulmán, entonces toca fusilamiento.

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

Globalne ocieplenie to nie jest zjawisko, które będzie wyglądać jak scena z filmu „2012”.

Nie będzie jednej, wielkiej katastrofy, wybuchu, pożaru. Będziemy po prostu patrzeć, jak pod naporem zmiany uginają się kolejne struktury naszej gospodarki i środowiska - najpierw łańcuchy dostaw żywności, potem infrastruktura, na końcu ekosystemy, a w raz z nimi państwa i instytutcje.

I to wszystko będzie rozłożone na dekady, czyli na dostatecznie długi czas, by znaleźli się ludzie wmawiający innym, że takie fale upałów, jak ta obecna, zdarzały się zawsze i nie ma się czym martwić. Ale to nieprawda i wystarczy sięgnąć do podstawowych danych, by się o tym przekonać.

Jedyna dobra wiadomość to ta, że wciąż mamy możliwość powstrzymać to zjawisko, a technologia, która nam w tym pomaga dosłownie leży na stole.

This is fantastic.

The Bulwark is, in my view, an example of the sort of independent publication that offers substance and value, as opposed to noise and hot-takes.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Trump is failing on the economy.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Silver lining for Dems is that this incredibly unpopular piece of legislation hands them a straightforward 2026 playbook: Republicans gave tax cuts to the rich while cutting healthcare for the poor, and still managed to explode the national debt.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Always remember—because the issue will certainly come back around—Republicans absolutely do not care about fiscal responsibility and the existential threat of crushing national debt.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

Well, this certainly didn’t age well.

[Senator John Cornyn @JohnCornyn]

A rule of thumb is that for every $3.5 trillion dollars you can create a stack of bills from here to the moon. With the national debt recently crossing the $36 trillion mark, the stack could get there and back about five times. It’s refreshing to see an administration actually interested in bringing this under control.

Bill Cassidy: "More debt means higher interest rates...The American Dream will keep slipping further away."

Everyone thank Bill Cassidy for high interest rates, because he just added $4.1 TRILLION to the national debt!
