"World Liberty Financial might want to sell to the broader public, but what they essentially serve as is the drop box for people who want to give money to Trump. That means, UAE princes, sovereign wealth funds and financial criminals from overseas.."

NY Times: "President Trump’s posting of a deepfake video mocking and insulting the top two Democrats in Congress underscored the lack of progress toward any deal to extend funding." Oh, that's how we underscore lack of progress these days? Via racist, ugly, deepfakes? The new NYT standard.

To all the MAGA governors offering up their children to show allegiance to Trump:
Leviticus 18:21: "You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God".
Not that it matters to them of course. Either as Christians or humans.

Carlos Alcaraz demands of his team to explain why he is the only public figure who was forced to comment on Trump attending the US Open final - everyone else just dived for cover. (PS: He did a petty good job dancing around that one.)

1) If political correctness has achieved one thing, it's to make the Conservative party cloak its inherent racism behind more creative language.
2) There's a whole generation who've confused political correctness with health and safety legislation.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.
My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Nice column by Paul Krugman on his substack today, arguing for a robust European response to Trump's trade/tariff threats. As usual, credible, informative and reasonable and perfect for the economically untrained such as yours truly.

3) "Zelenskyy..found every opportunity to try to Ukraine-splain" WTF?

A question: So, when will Trump try to revoke the citizenship of Americans, e.g. a threat to the homeland, or as "enemies of the people"? If they're naturalized, revoke and deport. Citizens by birth, seize their passport, freeze financial accounts, require registration. Who stops him?

Lordy! Don't need any more Tik Tok discussions, keep it, can it, don't care. Meaningless videos, insipid or clever so what. Petabytes of Chinese data about nothing. Take credit, give blame why agonize about who gets either? The absolute nadir of issues. Thank you for listening. Or for not.
