Trump signs order increasing Brazil tariff to 50 percent President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order raising tariffs on imports from Brazil to 50 percent, escalating his fight with the largest South American economy. The order Trump signed dec…

Trump does shit every day that should get him impeached. But illegally punishing an entire country — and any Americans who use products or do businesses with anyone in Brazil — because it’s prosecuting its former president for attempting a violent coup is among the worst things he has done.

Don’t blame Kamala. She started two years after Trump. She was energetic with good ideas. Democrats are each wanting a custom tailored candidate who will have all the boxes checked. That’s how we lose.

Yup.

We are paying the President of the United States to cheat at golf at his own resort in Scotland.

I see some idiots are trashing @roycoopernc.bsky.social because he said he (gasp!) prayed before deciding to run for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.

My response to this is to chip in a few bucks to him.

Join me (and help Jon Ossoff, Dan Osborn & others as well)!

Read Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech in its entirety Americans across the U.S. are celebrating King's legacy this weekend. One way to reflect on his life and message is by revisiting his celebrated 1963 speech delivered at the Lincoln Memorial.

radical leftism cloaked in religious language = one of the best speeches in american history www.npr.org/2010/01/18/1...

My quote of the day

There is no 'slippery slope' toward loss of liberties, only a long staircase where each step downward must first be tolerated by the American people and their leaders.

Social media post by ACLU: BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order directing states to criminalize and institutionalize people experiencing homelessness, addiction, and mental health disabilities. (July 24, 2025, at 5:20 PM)

Who’s in the Epstein files (hint: it’s all of them) is less important than the Trump decision to criminalize and disappear anyone who does not have a house or has an addiction or “mental health” disability.

In fact, 20 years in, might these files mainly be a sensational distraction?

One of the key strengths of MAGA is that, like Sartre's antisemite, they are sincere about nothing while being capricious and cruel about everything, so it's basically impossible to have a public debate about their positions, since they don't have any sustained positions.

🚨 Reminder: The *ONLY* reason Republicans are sweating over this is because the #ACA devastation kicks in starting January 1st while much of the Medicaid/Medicare cuts don't happen until after the midterms.

HOWEVER, a lot of THAT kicks in before the midterms as well: acasignups.net/25/07/10/hea...

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

History has got to stop rhyming. 🤬🤬🤬

WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽

So you aren't sure Superman is relatable? Listen, the dude's Big Three enemies in life are: A billionaire, a wanna-be military fascist, and A.I. He's just like us for real.

Can you imagine how mad he is. Getting away with a hundred different kinds of lawbreaking and suddenly not understanding why this one thing won't go away

Are you sure canceling Stephen Colbert’s show was “purely a financial decision”?

Obama is a native-born U.S. citizen
Jan 6th wasn’t staged by Antifa
Concentration camps are in the U.S.
Fox paid $787.5 million for lying
Vaccines save lives

A lot of people who voted for Trump did so because they believed he would help fix the economy and immigration.
Thats not what’s happening, in fact he’s doing quite the opposite — his attacks on immigrants are backfiring and impacting our economy.

Let’s talk about.

So Much for Socialism The Trump regime is using the specter of socialism to make America even more authoritarian. The regime will lose.

Most Americans need stronger safety nets and deserve a bigger piece of the economic pie, and they know it.

If you want to call this socialism, fine. I call it fair.

Here’s a throwback from 2019 where Stephen Cobert and Oscar the Grouch sing together.

It’s a song of hope and it still applies today. 🥰

Have a fantastic Saturday beautiful Democrats. 💙

👇🧪🧬🦠🌎🎯 one of the things the EPA does is keep companies from running roughshod over everyone by dumping toxic waste into our air, water and land. It is why we no longer look like this. The rollback of science will allow industries to do whatever they want for profit.

This Stephen Colbert monologue from Monday night, followed by a bit about the MAGA contingent calling for Trump to release the Epstein files, is the reason why Paramount fired Colbert and canceled his show.

That, and the Midterm elections are coming up, and he would continue to go after Trump.

Trump’s tariff plan: create a problem where there isn’t one, act like he’s solving it, and have no real solution in the end.

He is raising prices and hurting our small businesses for nothing.

Never forget: they said all of these federal government layoffs were about “cutting costs” and are desperately needed to shrink the deficit.

Then they turned around and blew a $5 trillion hole in it with their Big Ugly Bill—just to lock in permanent tax cuts for billionaires.

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show

the times is reporting that fema let call center operator contracts expire on july 5, the day after the texas flood, and calls answered went from 99.7% that day to 36% the next to 16% the next www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...

People get opinions about shit they have no personal experience with through the media. That's why framing and priming matter so much.

I hope the ACLU or someone else is going to litigate this.
