Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

NPR and PBS receive $85 million a year, but Trump's golfing costs more than $100 million per year. Hard choices needed to be made.

If Thune keeps the Senate in during August to confirm more unqualified and extreme Trump nominees like Emil Bove, Democrats MUST play hardball. Holds on nominees, every delaying tactic available. Requiring Journal be read, no committees when Senate in session, etc.
The whole world is looking at us like we’re the 4th Reich. Detention of two Italians at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ sparks backlash at home. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
I covered Ghislaine Maxwell's trial from her indictment to her conviction. It will be nothing short of a travesty of justice and a tragedy for every girl she victimized if Trump's DOJ cuts a deal with Maxwell to protect the President. youtube.com/watch?v=EyKpo6…
When you have nothing to hide so you shut down half of congress to avoid releasing the Epstein files.
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
I do want to apologize for dwelling on my fears a Trump second term could be dangerously authoritarian. But is it ok now to say a word about the president of the United States accusing a predecessor of treason? Or would that be a distraction from kitchen table issues? 🤯
Trump: “It's time to go after people. Obama's been caught directly…He's guilty. This was treason.”
DON'T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK. THE EPSTEIN FILES MUST BE RELEASED.
So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

Breaking statement from the Office of President Obama: "Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit…
Your periodic reminder that Fox News once called Mr. Rogers "an evil, evil man." They also lied and told viewers there had been a published study by LSU that showed Mr Rogers Neighborhood was bad for children. (There wasn't any such study; the Fox hosts or producers made it up.)

Needless to say, if Trump’s DOJ is seeking to meet with Maxwell, that would be in service of the coverup not the truth, of collusion not investigation. Sen. Durbin and others should scream bloody murder about this.
My son just began his summer job, luckily one that uses his computational skills, but boy am I glad that we live in Massachusetts. An increase in the federal minimum wage is long overdue especially those suffering under wage slavery in the red states.
