I really liked Troy Jackson’s closing statement in his debate with Suzan Collins tonight. He’s right:  what good is it to have power if you’re not using it to help the people who elected you and trusted you.

Not my president. Clearly, not a president for all Americans. “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” Then Trump called it a “small price to pay.” Millions of us dead. And his audience laughed. Reporting from my local news…

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

The SCOTUS ruling in favor of resuming deportations of migrants to unknown countries is an abomination. As Pope Francis often said: “Migrants are not pawns of the chessboard of humanity; they are people with stories who deserve our love and care.”

Was SCOTUS channeling Hitler today? He did the exact same thing to Jews in box cars to foreign countries… The Supreme Court on Tuesday, for a second time, removed obstacles to the Trump admin deporting certain immigrants to “third countries” to which they have no previous connection.

Supreme Court allows Trump’s ‘third country’ deportation policy
This is the second time the court has rejected lower court rulings that immigrants must be able to object before being sent to countries to which they have no previous connection.

We need to get a full accounting of every dollar each media company accepted of our money stolen by Trump to run his partisan political ads on their channels. Companies who accept these ads are receiving property stolen from the American people & are a disgrace for accepting them

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Wow, it does not bode well for the new Washington Sun (née NOTUS) that it is leading its afternoon newsletter (and website) with this loony bullshit, treating it like a serious proposal. Most news orgs are treating it more appropriately (dissing it or burying it.)
The $1.2 Trillion Surprise
The Washington Sun • Afternoon Sun newsletter

Good afternoon, and welcome to the second-ever Afternoon Sun newsletter. Here’s the news.
THE LATEST

Key Republicans say they were blindsided by Trump’s call for $5,000 checks, The Sun’s Jeff Stein, Al Weaver and Reese Gorman report.


    The $1.2 trillion surprise proposal shocked senior Republicans, including John Thune. The White House does not appear to have consulted leading conservative think tanks or advocacy groups, either.


    JD Vance defended the idea, and Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said he will “get a bill ready” to get the “Trump Dividend” passed immediately after the midterms.

Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

TRUMP PROMISES vs. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
Trump has floated/promised billions in direct payments to US voters before. Here's what actually happened:

TRUMP PROMISES vs. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:

🔴 $5,000 DOGE dividend — Trump backed the idea of returning DOGE savings to Americans. No $5,000 checks were delivered.

🔴 $2,000 tariff dividend — Trump proposed $2,000 payments funded by tariff revenue. No such checks were delivered.

🔴 $1,000+ ACA “savings” checks — No Trump program delivering $1,000+ stimulus checks from ACA subsidy savings was enacted.

🟡 $5,000 “Trump dividend” — Announced Sept. 9, 2026. Trump says every adult citizen would get $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress. Conditional on their vote.
