New in PN: Trump faces his worst bankruptcy yet "Should November be the disaster for Rs that analysts predict, Trump will morph overnight into something less than a lame duck POTUS with a ticking expiration clock: he'll become politically bankrupt in ways all-too-familiar to him as a businessman."

Susan Collins and Troy Jackson traded shots over ICE, Iran, abortion and health care during their first debate in Maine's Senate race. Jackson went on the offensive, accusing Collins of undermining abortion rights by confirming Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and failing to stand up to Trump.

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.
The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

I can't believe I have to say this: Richard Nixon was corrupt and Congress was right to force him out. But, according to Trump's DOJ and a GOP congressman, Nixon was subject to a Deep State coup. Nonsense. This is just Trump trying to rewrite the past to obscure his corruption today. Link below ⬇️

Angela Paxton is asking Texans to stand by a man for six long years when she won’t even do it for one more day. Estranged from and divorcing Ken, won’t even say his name, and not good enough for her, but she claims he is perfect for Texans. Angie needs to lead by example.

Trump said, “You mean the Insurrection Act? I’ve never used it. I could use it. A lot of people think I should use it.” Would Trump would use the Insurrection Act? Will military be at voting places, able to be ordered to seize, “questionable” ballots? Take those in power seriously when they speak.

Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.

Pathological liars just can’t stop lying. Trump: “I’m the only president that donated his salary. They pay me $550,000 a year.” The presidential salary is $400,000. JFK and Hoover donated their salaries and didn’t rob the country blind.
