And the Republicans fix for the revenue shortfall they created … cut healthcare benefits and other programs that impact the people they represent.

About 4 months ago I wondered which would end first: Trump’s Iran War or his Reflecting Pool remodel. We still don’t have the answer.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"
publicnotice.co
Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

Trump has not once called on Putin to stop bombing civilian population centers, which he targets daily. Witkoff & Kushner never said that to Putin. We cut off Patriots to Ukraine for air defense. But now he demands Ukraine stop bombing refineries while Russia murders civilians.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

As we have seen in Texas, Florida, and other places, Republicans can control everything for 30 years in their states and still blame Democrats for their failures, so what Republicans are doing nationally is their standard playbook. They accept responsibility for nothing.

When you win a war, you dictate the terms of the peace. When you lose a war, you try to salvage the best deal you can get to end hostilities. What we are doing is the latter.

Quick summary ... 1) businesses passed on tariff costs to consumers via higher prices. 2) Consumers covered the businesses higher costs. 3) Trump was forced to refund the illegal tariff $ back to the businesses. 4) Businesses win twice ... consumers get fucked. www.cnbc.com/2026/08/05/t...

Capitol One shut down 300 accounts belonging to Trump because they were flagged for potential money laundering. That was 2021. Imagine if this were Biden. How would America react? But yes "liberal media."

1/ Here’s the dumbest part of the AI gold rush nobody or few say out loud. A handful of giant companies mostly just sell to each other, book each other’s cash as growth, and let their stock prices balloon on it. It’s a circle pretending to be a market. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.
1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran - PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!
