Res ipsa loquitur.

It’s just more MAGA heartlessness. Ironic given that a disproportionate portion of recipients come from red states. Good luck trying to educate them with facts.

“It’s kind of an aptitude test.”

No Kings, Sacramento.

He doesn't care about national security. He saved TikTok because it serves his interest. TikTok is a major source of Trump memes and disinformation. With the announced deal, this will continue and likely increase.

How are so many lawyers, including Pam Bondi, so ignorant of First Amendment law?

America’s job market flashes yet another warning sign about the economy | CNN Business The US economy added just 22,000 jobs in August and the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, the highest since 2021.

Who is he going to fire this time? edition.cnn.com/business/liv...

He doesn't care about the outdoors or natural resources--other than oil.

It’s a tactic.

The two week deadline is his MO to date. We'll see. He is so far out of his depth, it is terrifying.

Welcome to the country of free speech (not)

I fear this is where he proves that TACO is wrong. He is just narcissistic enough to start a war with Iran to soothe his fragile ego. And, there are no level headed advisors around him to counsel otherwise.

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from: 

-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars 
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

We must remain on high alert. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

So, is Iran where Trump proves that he does not always chicken out, as TACO contends? He is so petty and narcissistic that it is not beyond possibility that he would start a war to vindicate his fragile ego. I would hope for cooler heads to prevail, but there seem to be none around him.

Federal lands in Oregon, other Western states could be up for sale under budget proposal The sales would not include national parks, national monuments or wilderness, under the proposal that U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, included in the GOP's tax cut package.

Public lands are just that: public, and owned by the taxpayer. Republicans want to auction them off to the highest bidder to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. Hell no.

No More Kings. Missoula, Montana.

I confess that I am experiencing Muskenfreude.

Serenity on Fish Creek, Montana.

The world is shocked and laughing at us.

If you're traveling to Europe this summer for a holiday, the value of the US dollar against the euro has dropped from 97 cents on election day to 88 cents today. It's one consequence of market induced tariff chaos. Thanks Trump.

The war on science and expertise is now in full swing.

Trump told cadets at West Point he had to leave because he had to deal with Russia and China and that was why he didnt shake every cadets hand. Then he went golfing.

Tell me how any self-respecting veteran still supports this person.

Of course. Why else would they attend?

While everybody is arguing about Comey and 8647, Moody’s has downgraded the United States’ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 — the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agency’s history.

Distraction.

Augustus Gloop also comes to mind.

Not to mention the guy who gave up his peanut farm in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
