Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025." share.google/pz6mLWSzZIYC...

TELSEY begins tracking price increases over the past week. Some highlights: * Abercrombie jeans: up 33% * Amazon Echo: up 38.5% * Target / Barbie doll: up 42.9%

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

"Germany did destroy itself almost a century ago. It almost destroyed civilization itself. That didn’t happen because Germany took in too many migrants. It happened because the German people fell for arguments uncomfortably close to JD Vance’s."

@aoc.bsky.social: "Every time you see Tom Homan, every time you see Kristi Noem... understand that they are taking attention, focus, dollars, and real resources away from actual drug enforcement, trafficking enforcement, and actually going after and trying to investigate really harmful activity."

@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

He nails it.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Opinion | The last 80 years have brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to the US, Canada, and Western Europe. It's time that we ended it.

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

Even if you *agree* with Trump that we should greatly prioritize our own problems, you should support foreign aid. For a fraction of our budget, we can reduce the sorts of problems abroad that can eventually make it to our borders. Tamar Jacoby on USAID:

Jesus is going to be pissed!

The dipshit twins shut down the consumer financial protection bureau, which protected Americans from being scammed. So expect even more scamming from them! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

Talking about how he's going to offer his opinion on what happened instead of waiting for the investigation. Insisting that the crash wasn't his fault (and was probably Biden's). The Trump presidency is back in full force.

Sure, Trump broke the law by firing inspector generals without 30 days’ notice. But here’s the bigger issue: inspector generals find fraud, waste, and abuse, saving taxpayers money. This wasn’t for the people—it was done to cut off checks and balances for Trump’s corrupt administration.

NEW: Multiple data analyses show that the voters whose ballots were targeted by a North Carolina Supreme Court candidate are disproportionately Black, Democratic and young. These are some of those voters’ stories. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

If Mariann Budde’s sermon earlier this week—in which she addressed Donald Trump, personally and directly—came across as radical, that just says something about the times we are in, the bishop says. nyer.cm/r38o35C

Yes this

Donald Trump and “Christians” on the right are pissed off because a woman of God asked Trump to be like Christ and have mercy on people.

In his book, Trump Defense nominee Pete Hegseth said he doesn’t want women in the military

Helpful!

Biden preemptively pardoned J6 police officers who were beaten and injured, to protect them against retribution from the insurrection leader because they dared to testify truthfully before Congress. Trump pardoned the thugs who beat them.

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

Just a reminder to everyone who voted for trump because you wanted lower prices on shit: You ain't getting it. He admitted it. Said it's too hard. But he has ALREADY enriched himself and his wealthy friends with his and Melania's shit coins. He doesn't give a fuck about you.

Let the grift commence!

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We have 8,400 firefighters working the lines; 16,000 personnel; 2,500 National Guard trying to address the issue of looting; 750 CHP as we speak; we have the EPA starting to do phase 1 of the debris removal... All of that [rightwing disinformation] is a deep distraction."

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.
