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.

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.

Another crack in the MAGA coalition, with Tomi Lahren going off on Trump for wanting to flood the market with cheap foreign beef.

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”

☕As we return to our weekday businesses (though some people are on a month-long vacation), let’s proudly carry this spirit of peace and joy. It will take us through these challenging and long-term commitments.

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...

Cancel Spotify. It’s God’s command.
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.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

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.

"'We are here to protect the protesters who are peacefully exercising their 1st Amendment rights to free speech and protest.'
I saw officers more than once stand in front of protesters, facing the thugs, and de-escalating whilst making it perfectly clear they stood with their fellow Portlanders."

Q: Do you feel Israel was justified with striking when it did?

TRUMP: Striking where?

Q: In Gaza. Today. And overnight.

TRUMP: I'd have to get back to you on that

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."
