Reminding people in the military and law enforcement of their oath and duty to the Constitution is only a bad thing to someone who wants to rip up the Constitution.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.
They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015.
The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server.

This is an important victory for free speech.
Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself.
Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Trump will likely try to use this to justify authoritarian crackdowns...and delegitimize dissent. Democrats should preempt that by warning: “Yes, violence is unacceptable...and equally unacceptable...is using this tragedy as an excuse to strip away constitutional freedoms.”

There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?

Jobs numbers being "revised" down by more than 75% means two things:
1. Donald's "Golden Age" is going to be more like a golden shower; and
2. We can't trust *any* numbers coming out of this deceitful, propaganda obsessed White House.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.
Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?

Just for those who may be a little confused: Hakeem Jeffries protesting Trump’s brutal bill by delivering the longest House floor speech in U.S. history isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an alleged “assassination attempt” is performative.

If there are any f*cking lessons learned, the media better start demanding real transparency on Donald Trump’s health, unless they honestly believe he’s 6’3”, 224 pounds, and passed his cognitive tests with flying colors.
He’s not just getting a pass; it’s a cover-up. And everyone sees it.
