Rosie O’Donnell sings a song she wrote for Trump: “His approval rate is 30, his diaper’s always dirty, I think the guy’s insane. He ain’t no stable genius, got a teeny tiny- but he doesn’t have a brain. The reflecting pool is green, his reasons were obscene, it’s him we all do blame. He grew a magic ear, stole billions in a year, ‘cause he doesn’t have a brain. Oh I can’t tell you why some people think he’s smart. All he does is lie and cheat and steal and he’s asleep when meetings start. He still dreams that he is Putin while our country he is lootin’, on humanity a stain. All he does is cause us trauma ‘cause he’ll never be Obama, ‘cause he doesn’t have a brain”
Trump didn't just say he "put them on notice." He said he spoke to Putin, and Putin promised him that he wasn't helping Iran, and he "trusted" Putin and believed him. Quite a big difference from what simp Waltz is saying in his weekly lie-fest. https://t.co/k0TCwNENAc
Ansari: Barron Trump is an adult. He is a full-blown adult, and he is very influential in the Trump White House orbit.
So we need to stop looking at them as though they’re these innocent, naive kids who aren’t part of any of this.
If they are committing crimes or engaging in activity that is against the law in any way, shape, or form, then they have to be held accountable for that.
Day 43, or six weeks and one day, of Senator Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization. I think it’s safe to say he won’t be showing up for tomorrow’s 5:30 p.m. roll call vote. If that happens, he will have missed 39 roll call votes as of tomorrow night.
Ossoff: "The price of admission to the president's service seems to be proof that you're willing to lie for him. Have you seen it? Maybe you saw Jay Clayton, the president's nominee to lead our intelligence services, refuse again and again while he was under oath to affirm Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, or Pete Hegseth before the Senate this week refusing to recant his lies about the war. There's something uniquely despicable about lying a nation into war, treating citizens as fools."
TWEEPS: 100 days until we can stop this madness at the ballot box. Republicans chose trump's vanity projects and illegal war over your grocery bill.
They made their choice.
Now we make ours.
The truth deserves to spread.💪

Trump's Billion-Dollar Temper Tantrum Empties America's Arsenal — Then the Faux-Strongman Gets Told to Sit Down by His Own Generals
Donald Trump has once again proven that the only thing emptier than his strategic thinking is the U.S. munitions stockpile he just finished torching.
After nearly two weeks of consecutive nighttime strikes on Iran — burning through billions in precision weapons that take years and fortunes to replace — the self-proclaimed master dealmaker has been forced to hit the pause button. Not because of some brilliant diplomatic breakthrough, but because the cupboard is bare.
After Trump had spent the week publicly threatening exactly that kind of infrastructure assault, the kind that leaves civilians without electricity, water, or food and opens the door to war-crimes accusations, advisers had to walk him back from the ledge he cheerfully climbed onto.
This is not strategy. This is a man who treats a high-end military as a personal fireworks display, then acts surprised when the warehouse is empty. Precision munitions are not Amazon Prime packages. They are finite, expensive, and already strained by years of global commitments. Trump's impulsive escalation accelerated the depletion, then his own team had to apply the brakes before the United States found itself staring at Iran with a half-empty magazine and no coherent end state.
The pattern is familiar: loud threats, rapid expenditure, sudden hesitation, and zero accountability. America's adversaries watch a president who can neither finish what he starts nor calculate the cost of starting it. Allies watch a superpower whose commander-in-chief requires remedial briefings on inventory and basic proportionality. Taxpayers watch billions vanish into the night sky over Iran so Trump can look tough on television — only for the tough-guy act to stall when the generals point out the math.
Incompetence is far too timid a diagnosis. What we are witnessing is strategic illiteracy elevated to performance art. This is not leadership. This is an eighty-year-old, dementia-addled carnival barker waving the nuclear codes like a prop badge, turning the gravest instruments of national power into just another episode of his never-ending reality show.
The U.S. has been significantly weakened by the war with Iran.
This administration depleted our missile defenses, drained our oil reserves, sacrificed our men & women, inflated the price of consumer goods, increased our debt, and neglected our domestic needs…
all for Israel.
It’s kind of amazing that no one from MSM organizations has found any way to infiltrate that hospital, or found any hospital employee willing to talk, even if off the record.
Joy Reid: “You’ve been spending a decade insisting Elon Musk is genius. When you hear him talk you realize he’s actually an idiot. You keep telling them, ‘But he invented Tesla,’ when he didn’t, he just bought it. Two other white dudes invented Tesla, they’re geniuses. Elon just bought it and now people think he’s a genius. No, he’s not”
Trump rushed to his golf course posting memes of Kaitlan Collins and Bruce Springsteen. Meanwhile: the US is burning through its munitions stockpile, Zelenskyy says Russia is helping Iran target our troops, and much more. Your midday recap is here: https://t.co/s5t0cTojhk
As you know, I’ve been on the road all summer. I met an older woman in Iowa a few wks back, she owns a few road side motels. She hasn’t voted in over 20 years. She’s generally sick of all things politics. But she said she’s voting this year bcuz of Trump. ONLY bcuz of Trump. She’s voting this year bcuz her father, a WW II veteran who passed away 24 yrs ago, loved this country & served this country, and she said he’d be sickened by what Trump is doing to this country. She told me that Trump is the very thing her father fought against in WW II. She’s voting Democrat up & down the ballot, she doesn’t know the first thing about where Democrats are these days, but she doesn’t care. She’s voting 💯 AGAINST Trump & Republicans. She said she hasn’t been this angry about politics ever.
The Russians continue claiming "victory" over ordinary civilian sites. In a deeply cynical drone strike on an ordinary supermarket in Chernihiv, they targeted people directly with no military purpose whatsoever. As of now, thirteen people have been reported injured. Tragically, two people were killed. One of them was a child. My condolences to their families and loved ones. All the necessary emergency services are at the site, helping people.
Zaporizhzhia was also struck with guided aerial bombs. One person was killed, and another was injured. My condolences to their loved ones.
This is deliberate Russian terror with absolutely no military justification. Stronger sanctions against Russia are needed, along with greater support for Ukraine, more means to protect our skies, and greater capabilities for our warriors.
