Not all Bush-era punk has held up but I can confidently say Trump is in fact a turncoat, killer, liar, thief and, many are saying, a criminal with protection of the law. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt_X...
TurncoatYouTube video by Anti-Flag - Topicwww.youtube.comPolitiFactPresident Donald Trump blamed Minnesota for a cyber attack on water plants, but a federal agency warned days earlier Iran could launch such an attack. The FBI also said at least seven states were hit, not just Minnesota.
Kinda sad that the TSA's greatest hits amount to one actual explosive (well, a smoke bomb), one kid with fireworks, and then its just inert and replica objects all the way down, plus all that Ranch that Europeans were excitedly buying only to have our surveillance state nab it from them at the gate
The Washington PostWhile TSA officers have spent the bulk of their time fishing out full water bottles from our carry-ons, they’ve also stopped some more bizarre items from getting on airplanes. Here are TSA’s most noteworthy catches of the summer so far:
Important to remember that rats practice cannibalism
Sanho Tree“And now we learn that Max Miller threatened to reveal something about Bernie Moreno—in a text to him—that would allow people to “get to know you better than your wife does” after Emily Moreno accused Miller, per court filings, of abuse against her and their daughter.“
Four years of polling, messaging, and testing on every key issue under the sun relating to democracy, rule of law, the courts, ballot access, voting rights -- very cool release of a vast array of data from our friends @statesunited.org pollinghub.statesunited.org/explorer?qs=...
any word from the parade of dipshits doing election denial but from the left who were absolutely certain these were the exact individuals Trump relied on to steal the previous election
Alex KaplanAn additional scoop within this piece: Tina Peters on a podcast said that in her Oval Office meeting with Trump she urged him to fire members of the Election Assistance Commission, which he subsequently did.
again, these are people who have never had actual jobs or lived in the small towns they lionize. no one within a mile of this side of the economy thinks this. he even has the rich guy smirk! let the voters know this november they're up against a guy who doesn't tip at a restaurant he owns
Aaron RuparHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
really fantastic analysis here

Fauci. Fulton. Jan 6. Everything Trump is focusing on this summer is consistent with a completely demotivated base with no juice going into November. If MAGA's greatest hits won't get 'em to dance, the show's over.
Dean ObeidallahTrump just made it clear he is not giving up on the $1.8 billion slush fund to pay his Jan 6 terrorists. Trump is doing this because he needs them to wage attacks in the lead up to and after the 2026 midterm. Trump is a terrorist. He should be in prison!!
these are weak, cowardly men, utterly unable to protect or provide for the people who their empty, pointless ideology pretends to value, men of no moral value, preening gossips and sniveling lecturers whose spines would snap if ever tasked with the weight of a soul or the heft of a heart
PierceIf Senator Bernie Moreno has any balls & wants to maybe scream at his son-in-law instead of a guy that kept millions alive during the pandemic, his daughter filed a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller today.

Sahil KapurScoop: Schumer stopped by a fundraiser last night in DC for SCOTT COLOM, Dem Senate candidate in deep-red Mississippi, per two sources. Colom is facing GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. (Fun fact: Colom was nominated by Biden for a federal judgeship and blocked by… Cindy Hyde-Smith.)
Historically, Trump's numbers are closer to those of presidents who aren't invited to the next nominating convention than to presidents who get to hand pick the next nominee. Act accordingly.
Greg SargentTrump absolutely cratering by many metrics in new CNN poll: 66% say he puts himself over country 61% disapprove of ballroom, arch, etc 57% say lacks sharpness to serve (!) 73% say he's out of touch w/regular people (!!)

The latest from YouGov: Donald Trump is historically unpopular. Why aren't Democrats doing better in the race for Congress? Many voters who disapprove of Trump are also the type of voters who don't participate in, or pay attention to, midterm elections yougov.com/en-us/articl...
