I mean: there were hit pieces on Kamala, too. And before the interwebs, Mikulski and Boxer. But they did really good work for Americans.

Trump promised $5,000 stimulus checks from DOGE cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $2,000 stimulus checks from tariffs. You got 0. Trump promised $1,000 checks from Obamacare cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $1.98 gas. You got $4+. Trump now has more promises for you.

This man delivers a no-bullshit takedown of Trump and his MAGA supporters, no fucks given. We should all be this mouthy and vocal. And I love his hat.

Why - why?!? - does anyone pay any attention to John Fetterman now? I’ve tracked him for a long time (starting when he was Mayor of Braddock). I don’t know if his health issues have adversely affected his cognition, but wow! He’s the one that needs to sit down, and hang up his Senator cloak.

"When Trump says that he’s leading us on an excursion, that he’s obliterated the enemy’s weapons, that the excursion is complete, it’s natural to think these terms mean what they used to mean. They don’t. They mean whatever he wants them to mean." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “MAGA-style leaders may say that our country can’t handle taking in so many migrants, that this is a suicidal move — the desperate act of a collapsing country,” writes Pedro Sánchez, the prime minister of Spain. “But don’t let them fool you. Spain is booming.”

Trump’s real base of support — billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, crypto, defense contractors, & Wall Street — know that the midterms may limit what they and Trump can get away with moving forward. 2026 could be the last year they can cash in and loot the country. Be warned.

I have concluded, after watching or listening to many podcasts, that Ezra Klein is undereducated and overconfident. Ta-Nehisi told him, in so many words… he still peddles underinformed nonsense and can’t take a hint. Unfortunate waste of time and energy.

Leave keeping people alive up to us. Food or vitamins is not the answer. POLITICS IS MAKING THE COUNTRY SICK. 🤷‍♀️

Ackman is shaping a narrative here. Reports indicate that the king was shown a variety of methods - and the king chose this one. Maybe the king’s idiocy, grandeur delusions and vengeance are actually bringing the global economy to its knees. Methinks the king is pleased.
