I’m done funding cruelty. Target cuts DEI, Amazon bankrolls this administration, and Home Depot lets ICE terrorize workers on their lots.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

With his ultimatum that Ukraine surrender to Russia, Trump finally wins a prize:

Unclear where this war profiteering plan came from or why it emerged right now, but clear that it is in every way disastrous
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Let's think about why the Russians leaked it and why Trump is pushing for it at this particular moment. Could they think his days in the White House are numbered and they need to grab whatever they can?

An AP-NORC poll found just 33% of Americans are happy with the way Trump is running the government, down from 43% in March. Among Republicans, the number dropped from 81% to 68%. His approval fell to 36%, a pollster low for the second regime, while 62% disapproved.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll found 38% approval, the pollster’s low for the second regime. Just 26% approved of Trump’s handling of the cost of living, while on immigration his net approval was -10, and the economy net -22. Just 20% approved of Trump’s handling of the Epstein files.

Argentina appears to have received more financial support from the U.S. than the $20 billion reported. The U.S. withdrew $870M from its account @ the International Monetary Fund shortly before a similar sum appeared in Argentina’s IMF fund just in time for that country to pay an $840M debt.

When Republicans shredded the nation’s social safety net in their July “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” they timed most of the cuts to take effect after the 2026 midterm elections. But the shutdown is making clear now, rather than after the midterms, what the nation will look like w/o that safety net.
