There are a *lot* of top priorities for Dems in the next Congress but forcing the administration to follow the law on spending is probably the top of the top priorities.

"You're killing yourselves" -- get a load of how Trump ranted and raved for half an hour like a total lunatic during his speech in Ireland. Totally incoherent, brain flitting from topic to topic

More than 100,000 resident of Gary, Indiana have been without power - and many without water - for over a week. This is a time for the federal government to do some tangible good, but the Trump administration's top priority today is a lameass car race through Washington DC.

Was Tasia Fortune lynched in Jackson, Mississippi this week? As of July 31, Jackson (pop. 142,000) has had 54 homicides. That's one for every 2,629 residents. Chicago, Illinois (pop. 2.7M) has had 253, or one for every 10,672 residents. Jackson's homicide rate is 4X that of Chicago's.

Trump told reporters today that the $13 billion he took from Venezuela is being used to "run the country." He should be challenged to show exactly what money went where. Otherwise, we reserve the right to consider the possibility that the money went into his bank account.

Fifteen minutes or so into Trump's speech at the WHCD this evening, he'd already mentioned Trump Derangement Syndrome several times, the Epstein Ballroom, and a host of other irrelevancies. Every journalist should walk out. While he's still speaking. Show him what free speech really is.

We're way past the point at which Trump should've done something about ICE and its terrorist activities. He should be charged as an accessory to murder. He is no less responsible than the men who pulled the triggers.

Every time you or a candidate you've endorsed loses an election, you can't say that the election was rigged. The more you refuse to accept the results and point your finger at democrats, the less likely people are to believe you. At some point, they'll just tune you out. Where will you be then?

The Coolidge coin is actually quite a rare collectible precisely because the public didn't like it and the Treasury eventually melted most of them down. As a result, the rule against living persons on coins was instituted soon thereafter.

The DOJ made a deal with the IRS to settle Trump’s lawsuit for $1.8 billion, a special fund to pay his January 6 insurrection army for future security service in the upcoming November elections and beyond. American citizens are now totally justified in refusing to pay their income taxes.

There needs to be a website that lists as many of Trump’s public events as possible. Every day. Then, there need to be protesters showing up at every one of those events. And we all need to apply for a chunk of that $1.8 billion slush fund. Legal, active resistance. Every day.

Today American citizens marched across the Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, 61 years after the first march contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act. That the Supreme Court made their protest necessary is a travesty. May there be good trouble until this shameful injustice is rectified.

While it's still uncertain what happened at last night's WHCD, the real tragedy is that we now live in a country that doesn't trust its government enough to tell us the truth. That what should be a straightforward analysis of the events can't be taken at face value. Welcome to the Gaslight Zone.
