Internal review of the Fed building renovation found no misconduct or illegal activity. It did say the renovations were poorly managed and lacked sufficient budget restraints. That should shut Trump up, that’s often how he poorly manages projects- reflection pool, West wing 🤣

Mike Johnson is traveling to 22 states and more than 40 congressional districts until election day. When they tell him it’s time to go back to where he works. I’m sure he’ll take a plane directly Mar-a-Lago.

So much for Republican philosophy of individualism,Trump is proposing that if you don’t major in something he approves of you won’t be given a student loan. So liberal arts is the enemy of Republicanism because it teaches you to think?Sounding more like Russia and China every day.

When do we say enough! Trump is brokering gold deals from Venezuela in a notoriously corrupt industry including a company the US deems a SECURITY THREAT. This is Mafia stuff.

I guess Trump isn’t making America great. So many Americans have applied for Canadian citizenship that the wait has gone from months to 3 years. How embarrassing for our president, American talent going north.

No matter how Trump tries to rewrite history in his favor, history will win out. It always does. His stupid signage, silly plaques in his “presidential hall of game walk” will come tumbling down. Serious historians will record his attempts to overthrow democracy in excruciating detail.

Quite a powerful speech by the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres. Trump’s speech on the other hand was one more embarrassment for the US

No amount of pretzel twisting is going to justify Trump’s media ban because of national security. The ban is because he’s thin skinned and can’t abide criticism.

Anyone else concerned about the fate of anti trust laws as more and more big mergers are creating the new class of robber barons and squeezing out the little guys.

Also in light of Trump’s banning of news organizations, a powerful message would for the rest, except Fox and Newsmax, not to show up for the sideshow, sorry briefings. The only way to make Trump irrelevant is to ignore his craziness. I know you can’t do it, but it would send a message.

Since everyone knows Trump’s agenda, wouldn’t it be great if no one, except Russia, showed up for his talk at the UN tomorrow. After all, we all know what he is going to say.

The irony of Trump’s ban on CNN, MS Now & Politico is that the real fake news networks are Fox & Newsmax. They’re the news outlets pushing the boundaries of free speech with Ingraham, Hannity et al

NYT headline -Trump rejects calls to rein in AI, saying a smart president is all that’s needed. He’s so right, hope we get one in 2028!

Trump has invested heavily in AI development thus his early repeal of Executive Order 14110 and his dismissal of Dario Amodel’s letter. AI has great possibilities but regulations are critical if we don’t want it swarming the Internet. The Republican majority need to step up in spite of Trump and act

Mike Johnson, he of the fiscally Conservative Party, has pledged to try to get the $5000 payment approved even though it will bring the national debt to the stratosphere. He’s a joke and certainly doesn’t resemble anyone Jesus would approve of.

Is there any earthly reason why a country, like Ukraine, fighting for its existence would pull back because Trump doesn’t like the fact it’s raising diesel prices in the US. Well stop the war you claimed you could do in 2 weeks 7 months ago and prices will come down.

Anyone see the irony of Trump’s Civil Rights division threatening states that won’t turn over their 2024 election data. A move many courts have ruled is illegal. States run elections & the info belongs to states not the government. Republicans should be nervous but it has nothing to do with rolls

Can someone explain how Missouri can use a lower court ruling to do an end run around the Supreme Court? I thought they had the last word

Presidents have advisors to help them make decisions in running the country, Trump has advisors managing him and running the country while he trolls & builds monuments to himself and that’s scary.

Roger “Doc” Marshall, a Kansas senator up for reelection isn’t your genial country doc. He’s a multimillionaire who sued 700 patients and had 81 arrested for non payment of bills. Doctors have to live but multimillionaires don’t need to arrest the poor for small bills. And he tried to end the ACA!

With a straight face, Scott Brown said"I believe the Republican party is now the party of the working people and the DemocyParty is the party of elites,the billionaires and trillionaires" says a billionaire who has a turntable set up in his garage to easily get whatever car he wants.

It's easy to see why Trump will never fire Hegseth, they're two peas in a pod. Both desperately trying to construct images that they know they aren't and will never achieve. Trump as a great leader and Hegseth as a great warrior. They need each other to tell them the lie that that's who they are.

Trump has declared bankruptcy so many times, he thinks it's OK to do it To the country.Combined with the fact that he has no concept of economics, the country will be in real trouble unless we get a Congress who will act to stop him.. Our tax money is not his personal piggybank! Vote Blue

With the national debt at an all time high,Trump & his administration is spending more money to investigate unsubstantiated claims that more than 2500 service people died after COVID shots. Wasting money & trying to deflect from real problems like gas prices, Epstein, tariffs. Vote Blue & stop this

Just like MAGA didn’t trust the federal government, as a Democrat I no longer trust the federal government. I don’t trust the labor department latest report since it’s before the midterms.

US policies are looking more & more like those of China & Russia, autocratic leaders making decisions that benefit them and their families. This is not the way Americans want to live, we are a government for and by the people. Vote Blue, stop this downward spiral.

Too bad Apple's new CEO isn't as brave as Canada's prime minister caving into the stupidity of Lake America. They are Lcowards. It is the billionaire class of executives combined with Republican Congress that keeps Trump"s evil continuing

Trump's own appointees are now turning on him. How bad do you have to be yo have that happen? Seems Dan Driscoll has had enough of Trump and Hegseth's dangerous incompetence.

Sean Parnell is an idiot.. The entire military hate Trump more than they love America is an absurd statement. Im sick and tired of this response. Instead of dealing with criticism as adults they throw tantrums like children.Grow up, this puts soldiers lives in danger.

Supreme Court is hardly supreme, Trump can build his hideous addition.only thing to redeem it would be the next president ridding it of the tacky gold and naming it the Barack & Michelle Obama ballroom.

Some Transgender troops who were dismissed from the service haven't teceived their severence pay that was promised and now are homeless. Who does that to soldiers who fought for their country? Trump & Hegseth that's who. Any veteran voting Republican is betraying their comrades in arms.

Republicans are trying to make Social Democrats the boogeyman but in reality the old white male ruling class he is creating (with a few compliant white women- looking at you DarlIne Graham) is far more dangerous to the welfare of of most Americans, especially those who vote against their interests

Trump is trying to create his legacy by destroying and putting his name on everything. Dolly was creating her legacy through great generosity, acceptance of every one, talent, joy and love. Whose legacy do you think will endure through generations?

Donna Qualters @qualtersd.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Trump keeps putting his name on things so he will be remembered, instead he should take lessons from Dolly Parton, be kind, laugh at yourself, give generously to others, support things that make the world a better place. Oh yeah be one hell of a business person.

“US moves to cripple Iran's economy, details scarce.”Trump’s plans never have details, because he isn't smart enough to plan, he hires secretaries who aren't smart enough & they hire loyalists not smart people.See A dangerous pattern here?

Trump is arresting and deporting decent, hardworking immigrants while 100 of the pardoned January 6th defendants are facing new criminal prosecution. They say birds of feather....

Hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, oppressive summer heat all characteristics of a warming climate. In spite of that President Trump is going after the environmental laws in California that protect the environment. When are we going to tell him to stop this insane revenge that threatens all of us.

The DOJ does not believe James Comey when he said he found the 86 47 seashells on beach but they believe Trump when he says vandals cut the lining of the Reflection Pool. Republicans aren't weaponizing the DOJ are they?

Once again, Trump is doing self referral.The White House says that Katie Holmes children will be sick and embarrassed to have a parent so callous and vindictive. I think Trump‘s kids, grandkids and great grandkids will be the ones who feel like that. Embarrassed to say I’m an American.

Trump is making billions on his presidency and families are now utilizing “buy now, pay later” lenders to cover basic living expenses like rent, medical care. And Republicans in Congress are OK with that? Guess they’re making money in the Market so who cares about us.

Ever feel like you’re living in a dictatorship? President making himself rich & surrounded by extreme loyalists(Putin), family members benefiting (Kim Jung Un) Phony illiberal tactics (Orban), cowardly Congress (all of the same above)Nothing original just following the dictator playbook.

Trump has just proven he is the most corrupt world leader ever.FinCEN which banned shell companies from money laundering has been dismantled and the data destroyed. Hey Marco Rubio you hailed it the greatest law/strongest deterrent to stop illegal money laundering. What do you say to your boss now?
