All Republicans have to offer voters in the midterms is failure, lies, corruption, cover ups, fear mongering, name calling, enrichment of oligarchs, christian nationalism, racism, data centers everywhere, flock cameras, higher prices, new wars and fake bribes. Hell of a platform.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

Democrats are so diabolical and ingenious at rigging elections that Republicans control the presidency, house and senate.

Despite all his bs, there was never, ever, ever a possibility that Trump, for a single second, thought when he started this war it would be unresolved on June 7 with the strait closed. The buffoon thought it would be quick and easy now he has no clue how to get out of his mess.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

Too many people still confuse Software Engineering with writing code. Code is the artifact. Software Engineering is understanding the problem, making tradeoffs, designing the system, reducing complexity, and deciding what shouldn't be built. No amount of 'vibe coding' can help you with this.

Now sanctimonious Vance is going to run around the country preaching to us about “fraud” investigations while Trump pardons the worst convicted fraudsters in America leaving victims with no restitution, and they force taxpayers to pay $1.7 billion to J6 criminals & MAGA henchmen.

Republicans in Congress have prioritized Trump’s whims, wishes and desires ahead of the welfare of the American people. Some because they worship him, others because they are afraid to stand up to him. They will pay a heavy price for that at the ballot box in November.

It’s a neat trick that Trump and his henchmen are pulling with their mafia DOJ. File a bogus frivolous lawsuit that you can never possibly win in a court of law, then have Todd Blanche settle it by paying them millions and potentially billions in taxpayer money. Theft by lawsuit.

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG. And it won’t get 1% of the coverage. Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

The US military is well on its way to becoming a partisan political rogue federal agency just like all the others, largely because retired Republican veterans in Congress and elsewhere betray their oaths to the Constitution by remaining silent.

Of all the dangerous and illegal things Trump is doing to tear apart the fabric of our constitutional republic while Republicans remain cowardly silent, in the final year of his term the politicization of the US military may turn out to be the biggest problem.

In 2017, I believed the institutions would hold on to withstand Trump’s worst impulses. They hung on by a thread. Then I watched Trump, Miller & Project 2025 plot for 4 years to make sure they wouldn’t hold again. Which is why I didn’t believe they would hold again. They aren’t.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today: 1. Your countries all suck. 2. None of you know what you are doing. 3. The US is better at everything. 4. All because of me. 5. I’m right about everything. 6. You should listen to me & do what I say. 7. And give me lots of awards.
