Fact check: The tariffs aren't paid for by foreign countries like Trump just claimed.

They are paid for by Americans, and foreign countries are bullied into doing Trump and his cronies favors to get out of them.

This grifter in chief is full of it!

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

Real leadership is the opposite of thuggery.

The so-called “strongmen” of the current era — Putin, Trump, and Netanyahu — are not leaders.

They can manipulate public opinion and sustain their bases of power, but they have no moral authority.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”

So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.  Today it’s 0.7%.  Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why.  Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

The thing about transphobes is they could literally just mind their business.

And for you left of center transphobes: you're doing the same thing MAGA is doing to Black and brown folks. Arguing that your discomfort with people who are different is a reason to legislate them out of society.

'It infuriates us': Veterans rage at 'abusive' Trump over reports of him stiffing soldiers Donald Trump has reportedly gone out of his way to avoid paying national guard troops sent in to Washington, D.C., resulting in outrage from veterans.The reports started earlier in the summer that Tru...

Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on.

Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime.

Litter is definitely a massive emergency that warrants mobilizing units from several states’ National Guard, arming them heavily and sending them into the streets of the capital.

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.”

The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
