BREAKING: Republicans JUST blocked Democrats' bill that would have ENDED Trump's tariffs on Canada and his ability to keep starting these trade wars. This would have saved Americans THOUSANDS of dollars. But Republicans chose once again to put Trump's approval over the American people.

My favorite thing about this poll is that ‘Accepting a luxury jet from Qatar while the Trump Organization pursues business opportunities in the Gulf’ came in last. Deeper bench than the ‘92 Dream Team.
Bar chart from Data for Progress titled 'Trump's Handling of the Epstein Files Is Seen as the Most Concerning Corruption-Related Action.' An August 28–31, 2026 survey of 1,167 U.S. likely voters asked which of Trump's second-term actions are most concerning, selecting up to two. Results: declining to fully release the Epstein files, 22%; directing federal law-enforcement investigations against political opponents, 17%; using the presidency to enrich his properties like Mar-a-Lago, 17%; growing his family's cryptocurrency business including Trump meme coins, 15%; family and associates moving between government roles and private ventures, 15%; pardoning allies including Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, 12%; easing regulations in industries where his family has financial interests, 12%; selling early access to his social media posts for up to $100,000 a month, 11%; accepting millions in White House ballroom donations from companies with business before the government, 11%; accepting a luxury jet from Qatar while the Trump Organization pursues Gulf business, 9%, last among the listed actions. 'None of these are concerning to me' drew 18% and 'Don't know'

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

Death by intentional neglect is the characteristic method of murder in concentration camps MOREOVER, using "emergency" conditions to degrade the conditions in concentration camps was partly how death rates went from a few percent to catastrophic (via www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...)
ICE has not paid any of its providers for detainees’ care since Oct. 3, 2025, according to agency regulatory filings and the ICE website. In an internal directive issued shortly after, obtained by the Chronicle and not previously reported, ICE declared “emergency operations,” sharply limiting offsite medical care and access to medication.

Voters in Tarrant County and across the state deserve convenient, accessible polling locations. The decision by Tarrant County’s GOP commissioners to close 92 polling places is blatant voter suppression and a disgrace to democracy.
A text graphic with the title: "TEXAS DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONDEMNS TARRANT COUNTY’S POLLING PLACE CUTS" and the text: "Tarrant County Republican commissioners approved a plan that will dramatically reduce the number of Election Day polling locations for November's general election, an evident move to force voters to travel farther, wait longer, and face unnecessary obstacles to cast their ballots. When more Texans participate in our democracy, the answer should never be to make voting less convenient. Closing polling places creates real barriers for working families, seniors, people with disabilities, and anyone who can't afford to spend hours in line or drive across town just to vote." signed by Kendall Scudder, Texas Democratic Party Chairman.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.
