Jon Stewart's take on Trump's latest racist video is worth checking out. He points out that, when it comes to highly charged racial elements, order is less important than than the presence of the offensive element, a takedown that's brilliant in its simplicity.

Trump is mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files and the GOP wants to investigate Bad Bunny's halftime show.

This is the world we live in, and ONLY WE can claim it back.

How much is one million mentions, for context?

900 mentions a week = 3600 a month
12 months = 43200 a year
43,000 a year for 25 years = roughly 1,000,00

For Trump to be mentioned A MILlION TIMES in the Epstein files he would have to average 900 mentions a week for 25 years.

That. Is. Staggering

ONE. MILLION. TIMES.

Got some free time and are on the fence about whether or not Trump is a racist?

Let me help with that.

Most media note the CA changes offset TX but don't mention that voters were involved in the CA changes and that they're only temporary.

The TX changes could come back to bite the GOP in the ass, with the marked change in Latino voters between 2024 and 2025.

Trump told a journalist that she should smile more after berating her for doing her job and asking about the Epstein files.

It's revolting, and designed to be. I hope the overwhelming majority of Americans who are tired of the cruelty and tantrums and corruption actually get to vote in 2026.

30 people dead, including children, during a "ceasefire" where hundreds of Palestinians have been killed.

And it barely registers anywhere.

If 30 Israelis died, though, or 30 Americans, it would be the top story of media everywhere.

This is broken af.

One in 3 registered US voters didn't vote in 2024.

Trump didn't even win half of those who voted, and they only represent 30% of the **voting age population**. We NEED the over 70% of the US voting age population who didn't vote for Trump to give af and vote while they still can.

DO IT

It's been frustrating to watch the Democrats during the Trump administration's reign of terror because there has been so little functional resistence.

When the Republicans are in the minority, they're able to bring the government to a halt, so how is it that the Democrats can't do likewise?
