Democrats are being criticized for voting against the Stop Insider Trading Act (H.R. 7008). What the critics aren’t telling you is that the bill applies only to members of Congress. It excludes the President, Vice President, and their spouses.

Donald Trump is 61 points underwater when it comes to Americans’ approval of his handling of the economy—especially inflation. This is lower than any other president in the history of our country. Congratulations!

Reports indicate Iranian forces used satellite imagery provided by Chinese commercial entities before a missile strike that killed three U.S. service members. When asked about this Trump said. “That’s what we do. They basically do what we do.” He went on to say China was “behaving reasonably well.”

Republicans harp endlessly about election integrity. What they’re really say is: we have nothing to offer the American people.

The Fauci hearings are a desperate attempt by Republicans to distract from just how horrible things are going under Trump.

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

The same man who will pardon you if you ransack the Capitol and smear your feces on its wall will throw you in jail if you wiggle your fingers in the water of the Reflecting Pool.

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aside from the U.S. surrendering to Iran in Versailles—the very place where Germany surrendered to end World War II—plus the algae infestation in the newly renovated reflecting pool and the peeling of its American blue paint, this week seems to be going pretty well for the administration.

Real strength protects the weak. Real men punch up, not down. Real masculinity doesn't need to keep a woman small to feel big. We know the difference. It's time to say so. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This Isn’t Masculinity; It’s Insecurity Masquerading As Strength
The right turned cruelty into a personality trait. The left abandoned healthy masculinity. Young men got caught in the wreckage.
