The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

📌So Trump is going to build an arch to celebrate himself, and in his spare time order his Supreme Court to kill our vote. This is 1775 England.

Whoa. Sherrod Brown’s new ad is devastating for Jon Husted. Sarah Bloom Anderson trusted Husted when he looked her in the eye and promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, the program that saves her daughter. One week later, Husted voted to cut Medicaid.

Whenever you read a hot take from Politico that casts Dems in an unflattering light, remind yourself that the owner asked the executives to pray for Donald Trump’s reelection. It’s propaganda.

Trump didn’t want to admit that he personally hired an unqualified contractor who screwed up the Pool and cost taxpayers millions. So instead he had the hack Fox host who he installed as US attorney indict an innocent man so he could blame him and others for his own incompetence.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

From mid-2022 to early 2025, the egg producers communicated with each other to coordinate bidding activity on a widely used pricing service, according to a complaint filed in a federal court in Iowa.
The complaint details instances of executives for the companies calling and texting each other in an effort to push prices higher.

Trumps kids are being pulled into all sorts of schemes on the assumption that the government will provide favorable treatment, which could be loans or regulatory treatment. Jr is also an advisor for both Kalshi and Polymarket which are barely being regulated open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
Around the same time, Donald Trump Jr. joined its advisory board. (He is also a strategic advisor with Kalshi.) Under such circumstances, few believe the new entities will be subject to close regulatory attention from Trump's government, creating an incentive for states to jump in.
