If you’re looking for proof that American politics and media are the most powerful propaganda system in human history, consider that barely anyone can easily afford the basic necessities needed to survive and yet the discourse is mostly about everything other than that

Returning to the "normal" that created Trump will create another Trump.

Democrats once again refusing to deliver for the working class will deliver a worse Trump.

The liberalism of restoration rather than the left-leaning populism of transformation will end up restoring MAGA.

Some of us have said this - and have been vilified for saying it - for the last 30 years.

It is as true now as it always has been.

Elon Musk’s super PAC is about to cross $1,500,000 to re-elect Susan Collins. Her response so far: “I wasn’t aware.” Not aware? Senator, it’s a public filing. Stop gaslighting us.

Max Boot: While Witkoff and Kushner say they would not benefit from the Lukoil sale, the deal reeks of conflicts of interest at best and outright corruption at worst. It is emblematic of the de facto Trump Doctrine — mixing private and public interests to an unprecedented degree. wapo.st/47gE6Rf

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Secretary Rubio’s call for a fascist society is hardly a dog whistle. It’s a loud yell, and his Greece speech last week, where he complained about the Western world’s rejection of nationalism and “condemnation of our own history,” proved it. Tom Malinowski breaks it all down

Turnout will change things. And the incumbent right is scared of it.
mrgarycooper

For sixteen years, Hungary's Viktor Orbán built a system to survive elections. He rewrote the constitution, packed the courts, and had media outlets handed to allies. 

In 2024 his party redrew the map so the opposition would need a three-to-five-point national win just to scrape a majority.

This past April, Hungarians turned out at 78.94% - the highest since democracy arrived in 1990. 

Orban was done despite his meddling.
Anyway, this is a post about the midterms.

Interesting… Manufactured movements. Hardly the first time. For example, it’s been reported that most of the outrage at Cracker Barrel over their sign change was bot-driven. Not the same impact, but a sign of how widespread the practice has become.

Susan Collins is a poser. And Mainers can’t eat road salt.
Susan Collins "does what Trump needs her to do to enact his agenda, and sometimes casts a protest vote - but only if she can prearrange it to be meaningless. She is a snake disguised as a muppet.”

Go vote. We don’t have to live like this.
Two years ago the reflecting pool was reflecting, the East Wing existed and was welcoming visitors to the People's House, and the Kennedy Center was financially stable and artistically thriving. Gasoline was semi-affordable and USAID was saving human lives all over the world.

Go vote. We don't have to live like this.

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.
