According to Dear Leader, we won the war on Day 1, but have continued for another 215 days costing 19 KIA, 845 WIA, $1B a day, and increasing economic distress on Americans for 💩s and giggles. #FDT #FGOP #Vote

Simply by giving that college student ketamine, the Cornell 7 committed a more serious crime than being an immigrant in the U.S. without the proper documentation. It would seem fair that we round them up and detain them in one of Trump's Concentration Camps until "we figure this thing out", right?

Part of me secretly hopes that members of the 11th Circuit were cool to have arguments for releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report in January, but watching Schmitt's colossal fuck up made them move the arguments up to Nov 2.

My belief: This election isn’t about the economy in 2027. It’s about the economy in 2060. Prosperity comes from institutions like the rule of law, markets, a free press, and capitalism (not crony capitalism) newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Trump keeps saying his summit with Xi was totes awesome and they're besties now, but note how he never details a single specific accomplishment
President Xi and Madam Peng have just left D.C., heading for China. The meeting was one of Friendship, Strength, and Success, for both China and the U.S.A. We will be meeting again in November, in China, and then at the G20 in December, in Miami, Florida. Much has been, and will be, accomplished. I look forward to our next meeting! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Here's how Trump's proposed diesel export ban could backfire.⁣ ⁣ The ban forces international diesel demand to 0, and refiners run less crude. That crude is also used to make gasoline.⁣ ⁣ Even Energy Secretary Chris Wright admitted this could push gas prices up. youtu.be/UwsPWUbGUVs
