The first three "No Kings" Day protests broke records. "The way you should judge the success of this fourth No Kings is," organizer Ezra Levin said, "'Did we drive the biggest early vote in the history of the Republic?' I think we're gonna do it."

The point of spectacles like this is not to deter terrorists; it is to debase the population. They want us cruel and vulgar, or at the very least, numb to cruelty and vulgarity.

CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."

Republican headliner JD Vance lied to a crowd in Council Bluffs, Iowa, today, telling them that Trump banned Wall Street from buying up everyone's homes.  FACT: Donald Trump refused to sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, so it became law WITHOUT his signature on July 11, 2026.

It's crazy to me that this is not leading the New York Times, NBC News, CNN, etc. If you're that numb, maybe think about a field other than journalism.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

A reminder that in many states, after every election, bipartisan officials conduct a hand audit of a random sample of paper ballots. A hacked election in those places would mean confusion, not an altered result. Republican election officials must be seething tonight.

"I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you." The clear point is that Republicans have turned Congress into an body that does not engage in oversight, that operates to protect the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.
