430 trees cut down. A federal judge furious. A public landscape destroyed. This is what happens when power is mistaken for ownership. The trees took decades to grow. They were felled in hours. The latest Warning essay: steveschmidt.substack.com/p/axe-of-mal...

Katie Zacharia has made her White House debut as Donald Trump’s press secretary. With 21 days before the midterms, I break down why she is less credible than Baghdad Bob and why no lie she tells can stop the blue wave. youtu.be/YmtX4rE7PFU

I love that this might be the thing that tanks Paxton, and not the biblical divorce or letting a child rapist out early.

Notice that law enforcement aren't removing the guy who punched her. Also, last time I checked, free speech is allowed at public events, even if it's unpopular with the crowd.

Again, imagine if the national media covered American politics through the lens of which party actually competently staffed & governed the country when it was in power, instead of covering it as horse races, theater, & grading on a curve for the One Special Boy & the far right authoritarian party.

House Republicans are bracing for catastrophe in once safe red seats

GOP internal polling revealed key House seats that Trump won comfortably in 2024 are now competitive.

Ossoff: "We will repeal the tariffs, which will reduce grocery prices. We will end this disastrous war which has driven diesel to $6. And we will repeal the healthcare cuts that have doubled premiums for more than a million Georgians. Those are things we can and need to do immediately."

Ossoff: "Frankly, I'm surprised Georgia Republicans want the president here. Donald Trump is deeply unpopular in Georgia because he's a failed president who lied the country into war, who has driven the cost of groceries, fuel, and healthcare to their all time highs."

Watching Katie Zacharia repeat the Trump Admin’s blatant lies without the usual shameless confidence we’re used to is jarring. Shows you how much of this administration’s unreality is being upheld by pure dishonest bravado. The lies fall even flatter without it.
