Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Oh, and his war in Iran is just as much of a disaster, if not worse because he & Israel have de-stabilized the entire region.

If this agreement comes to fruition, it's unlikely to make a significant impact on prices.

So the U.S. consumes 15.3 million tons of diesel fuel per month. So we got the .3 covered between now and the election 🎂(1.9%) maybe. Because all Trump does is lie.

Do American's really want to purchase cheaper diesel from Russia that would allow Russia to continue their war in Ukraine &the killing of innocent people? Have we become that greedy & amoral?

Right, that’s why I noted whomever the Speaker may be. I suspect he’ll be re-elected Speaker IF Republicans hold into the House.

Lauri Thompson @lkthompson.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Tillis is being disingenuous. States certify election results, there is NO reason for Mike Johnson, or whomever the speaker may be, to not seat newly elected members. This book tour to the major networks that Tillis is on is making me really not like him, at all.

Your vote is not small to the people spending millions to make sure you never cast it. They know what happens when working people, young people, women, and every fed-up voter show up together. We flip Congress. They lose control. That’s the whole assignment. #BlueWaveIn30Days

Senator Schmitt should be censured for his implication that Jack Smith perjured himself & calling him a "dirt-bag" when in fact Schmitt & his aides willfully presented a false accusation of collusion by Smith w/Georgia officials surrounding election fraud investigations. Shameful.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

Of course it was 6-3. People are going to have to vote in numbers too big to challenge. That's just how it is, unless states can block this somehow.

My suspicion is that the WH did not want to let those media outlets back in until AFTER the Q&A part of the meeting in the Oval Office. Trump likely did not want to have them asking Xi tough questions that Trump felt would make Xi uncomfortable.

The first thing a Dem Congress does is pass a resolution saying the President is not immune from any prosecution, and remove it from SC jurisdiction.

Long after Trump is gone from office as the most despised, unpopular, and disastrous president in US history, the stink of Trump will remain forever on Republican politicians and appointees who backed him every step of the way, even when they try to claim they were independent.

I know this won’t happen, but the entire WH press corps should walk out. Trump craves attention and is obsessed with his coverage. Not covering his Oval Office Lie Sessions would hurt him more than just about anything.

Why do people only supposedly get the $5,000 if Republicans win in November? Republicans control everything and have for 2 years. Why didn’t they do it before? Why don’t they come back into session tomorrow and pass it right now? Because it’s all a lie, like everything else.

Bartiromo did not get fire for protesting how Fox News aired Trump's prime-time speech, and their follow up reporting. She got fired for violating company policy/rules. Navarro may disagree with those policies, but he shouldn't lie about why she was fired.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.
