The Republican Party was a pile of crap before Trump showed up. He simply serves as a tool to make them even crappier. He’s the AI of politics: He makes shit up, exploits every weakness in the system, is soulless and unregulated, and could end up killing us all.

On Putin's birthday, moreover, Trump gave him: (1) an end to sanctions; (2) a drawdown of US troops defending NATO; and (3) a sleazy, super corrupt LUKoil deal—and this is just what we know so far.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?
npr.org
As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

Trump: "The big problem is refineries in Russia are being blown up. This isn't really a Middle Eastern problem, this is a Russia problem, that Ukraine & Russia are going at it & Ukraine is blowing up diesel refineries. I told to President Zelenskyy, 'You gotta take it easy on the refineries.'"

The rise of 287(g) programs has meant that ICE is increasingly using local police as a very significant force multiplier, with up to 1 in 8 arrests of noncitizens in the interior now being carried out by state and local police. This is going to have profound impacts on community relations.

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

Honestly, does LeBron really need to pad his bank account by encouraging people to bet their kids‘ lunch money? It seems predatory, and of course a lot of other rich sports figures do it too.
