When Trump and the sycophants blame Biden maybe a reporter can ask “what’s the point of your holding office if after two years Biden is still in control? Doesn’t that make the GOP useless?”

The United States doesn't have a Democratic-condoned voter fraud problem. That is a lie. But the United States *definitely* has a Republican-coordinated voter suppresision problem. That is the reality. And only the latter has any effect on our elections.

Donald Trump has always been a horrible human being, a sociopath. Now he’s rapidly losing his mind. Which means the current president of the United States is a horrible human being/sociopath who’s rapidly losing his mind. This is a really bad, dangerous thing for America and the entire free world.

The munitions shortage is information that Hegseth was required to report to Congress and did not and it could have been—and was—discerned from open source information. So the idea that we learned about it from treacherous leaks is malicious nonsense of the Emmanuel Goldstein sort from 1984.

1/ Just in: An anonymous federal worker has filed a whistleblower disclosure warning that the U.S. Postal Service's attempt to create a system to regulate mail voting for the midterms has been "rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed." @propublica.org has the details 👇
Screenshot of the top of a whistleblower disclosure titled "USPS Rushed Implementation of New and Untested IT Systems Threatens U.S. Ballot Mail Delivery." Addressed to Senator Blumenthal, the first point details how the whistleblower has "significant concerns about the USPS's secretive, rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed process for the creation and implementation of an entirely new and untested set of IT systems" intended for the 2026 midterms.
