Particularly given that Trump has done so much of this or similar, I'm a bit sad they didn't include "defraud MAGAts at scale." The support numbers would still be sky-high. But it would be a useful demonstrative. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Kevin M. KruseIn recent weeks, congressmen like Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) have leveled racist attacks against immigrant communities in their districts. As I note in CAMPAIGN TRAILS, a century ago those same racist attacks were being made against people named Emmer and Rulli.
I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

This *reflex* reaction helps us to identify potential dangers and evaluate our safety level. Not looking toward the noise is *highly indicative of foreknowledge*. #BodyLanguageExpert
Prices are rising, families are struggling; children are going hungry; people have been kicked off Medicaid; seniors are about to lose the option for Medicare Part D (prescription drug insurance) & the ass-hat in the WH is gold plating horse statues! FUCK! Is this how you want YOUR tax $ spent?
Christopher WebbThe guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.
61 years ago, Medicaid was signed into law. 1 year ago, the GOP gutted it to fund tax cuts for the rich. Today, 61 co-sponsors are joining together to hold the GOP accountable for closing hospitals, terminating coverage for 15 million, and raising costs for us all. #HealthcareHeist

Ossoff: "Each day his allies are fewer & even they no longer deny his corruption, the obscene self-dealing while he plunges nation deeper into reckless war while he rakes in billions & builds himself ballroom & prepares again to attack elections. Let's be clear, one man attempted fraud in GA: Trump"
No worries, by next week they will be saying Alzheimer's, a disease that is complex & for which solutions are time-critical because of the trajectory of care costs, & therefore human costs, to add to the dire burden from this dreadful disease... is also caused by Tylenol.

Elon Musk is helping to destroy the West "The world’s richest man is a thin-skinned megalomaniac defined by his ignorance, deceit and bigotry. The interview Elon Musk gave to The Economist was certainly revealing. It helps underline why the West is in crisis - which it is." Owen Jones Substack

What kind of a broken, morally defective culture produces entitled pricks like this? There are many millions of white men who act just like this in America. The real problem of a nation that spawns sadistic bullies is never addressed. Toxic arrogance. Our defense & DHS budgets say everything.
Mrs. Betty Bowers“Tow the line” Their unpleasant entitlement is only exceeded by their stupidity.
Anyone who supports this MAGA government are truly evil. We have millions of people here who are extremely vile & dangerous and they're not the people being put in concentration camps. This is a sick society & few people are calling that out. Do they not see it? Too much hubris to admit it?
MissTaylor1991Sorry America. You don't deserve friends.
My goodness. There it is. The once-venerated white-shoe New York law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell is representing an adjudicated rapist in a case brought by the victim. I never thought I would live to see something like this. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
