Trump's golden ballroom:
90,000 sq. ft.
Our White House:
55,000 sq. ft.
Trump's memorial to
himself will be
bigger than the
Lincoln Memorial,
a kingly statement
and a finger to
American democracy.
"The People's House"
no more.

Trump’s already silencing dissent — arresting protesters, weaponizing the DOJ, and now he’s rigging maps to steal Congress.

Prop 50 is the only legal firewall left. #YesOnProp50

Get Out The Vote PAC @gotvpac.bsky.social · 7h

SNAP benefits are going to run out after October for millions of people, pushing families closer to starvation in the process, unless the government shutdown is ended. That’s the outcome Trump wants: millions food insecure for the sake of his political agenda.

As the government shutdown drags on, the human cost of the GOP's unwillingness to negotiate with Democrats is tragically on display, with hundreds of federal workers in Maryland forced to stand in a line for free food from a local pantry, many facing the shock of their first missed paycheck.

i will never understand how 77 million Americans thought empowering this was a good idea. our country was so lucky to survive his first term and he's much worse now.

Ask former President Barack Hussein Obama whether or not he really believes that in 2020 Joe Biden got 15 Million more Votes than he did in 2012 (65.9 vs. 81 Million). Additionally, ask him why it is that Joe Biden “beat” Obama in every single Swing State with the Black Vote in 2020, even though Black Voters hate him, but in no other State? THE 2020 ELECTION WAS AN ILLEGAL SCAM/HOAX THAT THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY WILL NEVER FORGET!

Hey California, Republicans don’t want to play fair — they play dirty.

And if Democrats keep playing by the rules, while Trump cheats, we will lose.

Time to step into the game—Prop 50 is the brass knuckles democracy needs.

Trump on July 31 when asked about the ballroom: “It won’t interfere with the current building. It will be near it but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

Eric Trump's "Under Siege" debuts at no. 1 on the NYT bestseller list.

The Times did not flag the listing with a dagger, which would indicate retailers reported bulk sales.

ICE brutally arresting 170 citizens for being brown, tariffs raising prices, millions set to lose healthcare, democracy hanging by a thread, and the wealthy getting all the breaks, is what happens when Trump has Putin instructing in one ear and Miller in the other.

Mike Johnson is making a habit of protecting pedophiles

First it’s Jeffrey Epstein-and maybe even Donald Trump-by refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva

Now alleged sexual abuser and GOP Congressman Cory Mills, who has a protective order against him

But Johnson doesn’t think that’s “serious”

An article showing Mike Johnson won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva

Congressman Cory Mills has a protective order against him for possible sexual misconduct

The highlighted portion says Mike Johnson doesn’t think the issues with Mills are “serious”

One sign really caught my attention at the #NoKingsMarch. An autistic boy about 12 with grandma was holding a sign he made: “Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.” With a hand-drawn picture of a Tylenol bottle. He was chatting up people wearing inflatables, a T-Rex and a frog #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Son of immigrants, Marco Rubio, calls human beings "despicable" and wants to dump them in other countries like trash.

Since he loves authoritarian cruelty so much, he should deport himself to Cuba’s dictatorship and stop violating the rule of law.

If despicable has a face in this story—It’s him.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

I'm not a slogan-chanter and, frankly, I'm pretty bad about being social and getting involved in group activities of any kind. But in today's newsletter I talk about how going to No Kings made me feel better. It made me feel like we're going to win. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

It's hard to say this without coming off corny as hell, but I cannot tell you how good and inspiring it was to be in that crowd. Not because I made new friends or got caught up chanting slogans or singing or whatever. And not because being there made me made me believe things are going to immediately change for the bette, because I know better. No, it felt good because it made me feel less alone and less crazy.

I work from home, I'm out in public less than a lot of people, and I spend a lot of my time taking in the world through my computer. When you do that it's easy to trick yourself into feeling like you're the only one at wit's end. It's easy to fool yourself into feeling like the rest of the world is just going about its business, not caring terribly much about the things that have depressed and enraged you for months. It's an absolute balm to be around a few thousand folks who are every bit if not more unhappy and angry and determined to make things better than you are and when you're among millions of people across the country feeling the same way.

That was especially true once I realized that the vast majority of the people there were nothing like me. There were old people and very young people. Some hardcore lefty types the sorts of which I converse with online sometimes but way, way, way more normal liberal or middle-of-the-road types holding signs that made me laugh or scratch my head. People who wouldn't, to their great credit mind you, understand half of the things I or the people I follow on social media rant about on a daily basis. And that's good! Partially because it means most folks aren't as internet poisoned as I am, but mostly because it reminds me that thousands of people have at least one super important thing in common: we don't like what's happening to this country and we want to fix it.

The shitheads running this country want us to feel isolated. They want us to feel weird and out-of-touch for not being on board with Trump's authoritarianism. They want us to despair and to give up. But when you see that several thousand of your neighbors are willing to come downtown on a Saturday – while the Buckeyes are playing no less! – to oppose tyranny and demand change, it's impossible to feel hopeless. It's impossible to feel alone.

A day of marching is not sufficient to stop the madness. But it's necessary. And it's encouraging. It's a reminder that there are more of us than there are of them. And that we're going to win.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.
