Yvette Nicole Brown has a secret weapon. But we’re not going to keep it a secret anymore. Because last week, SCOTUS voted 6-3 to Jim Crow the voter rolls, ruling that Donald Trump could make up the list of citizens who can vote. Think about that. gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/yvette-nic...

Trump wants to end the $17K program keeping disabled Americans home with their families and force them into institutions costing $52K per person. @davidcayjohnston.bsky.social makes it known, this isn't a budget decision. It's a deliberate strategy to weaken families until they can't fight back.

Incoherent rambling. Trump says the US has "virtually unlimited" ammunition and is stockpiling munitions amid its operation in Iran. He says arms sales to allies will resume soon, while claiming the Biden administration gave Ukraine and NATO hundreds of billions that Europe should have paid.

If you were to list the top 1000 real problems in the United States, voter fraud wouldn't be one of them. It’s not even in the top 10,000. Donald Trump made this up in order to make it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.
