US BUDGET DEFICIT SOARS

The deficit jumped 19% to $291B in July. This is despite $21B collected from Americans due to higher import taxes, which led to higher costs on goods like furniture, footwear, and auto parts.

The deficit for 2025 is already $1.63 trillion, up 7% from the last year.

We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both.

Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!

Map of Texas gerrymander, with districts snaking across the snake in a ridiculous way

The actual map of the proposed Texas gerrymander is so brazen and absurd that it might radicalize a significant number of Americans upon seeing it

Let me repeat it! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽

Note to Kristi Noem:

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

White House Did Have Secret Epstein Talks Despite public denials, Trump officials met for damage control talks, relocating from the VP’s home to the White House, according to reports.

Turns out the Trump administration really did huddle behind closed doors to talk about the Jeffrey Epstein files, despite JD Vance’s public denial.

BREAKING: A White House meeting took place last night to discuss the Jeffrey Epstein case, sources tell NBC News.

It's unclear if the president attended, but AG Bondi and FBI Director Patel were present. The president and vice president had previously denied reports of a planned meeting.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

Robert Reich Trump Lied About Grocery Prices

About half of all Americans say the cost of groceries is a “major” source of stress in their life, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

But Trump seems to have given up on doing anything to make groceries cheaper.

Wasn't that what the entire election was supposedly about?

Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman warns US faces Venezuela-style collapse under Trump

Trump is doing exactly what MAGA has been ranting about for years—covering up Epstein ties, protecting elite pedophile rings, silencing victims, and giving safe harbor to child sex traffickers.

And he’s doing it in plain sight.

www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Republicans thought they were getting people who would expose the Deep State pedophiles with Trump, Bongino and Patel. Instead, they got their protectors. Maxwell just got rewarded with a nicer prison, and in exchange, the pedophiles stay concealed. Hell of a legacy, fellas.
