Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.

Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Brazil's Bolsonaro guilty of coup charges, court majority decides in landmark trial The presumptive ruling by a majority of a panel of five justices in Brazilโ€˜s Supreme Court makes Bolsonaro the first former president in the countryโ€™s history to be convicted for attacking democracy.

Turns out it is possible. www.nbcnews.com/world/brazil...

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead.

Please. Donโ€™t look away and donโ€™t be silent. This is all I could ask for

WELKER: Trump said tariffs were gonna spark a manufacturing renaissance but since he announced them the US has lost 42k manufacturing jobs. Is that proof tariffs are failing?

BESSENT: We can't snap our fingers & have factories built

W: The economy added nearly 500k manufacturing jobs under Biden

The Speakerโ€™s Lobby isnโ€™t a big room. The doors are small, and the windows give a clear view. Babbitt saw the policeman with his gun drawn. She knew what she was doing. He didnโ€™t fire until her head crossed the threshold.

Unplugging from the Political Matrix A case for centrism as a mindset, not a party line.

Weโ€™ve been programmed to believe every issue has two sides. Left vs. right. Good vs. evil. But real life is messierโ€”and centrism is the only path back to sanity. Itโ€™s not weak. Itโ€™s radical. And it might just save the country.

Weโ€™re releasing the Epstein Files day one. There are no Epstein Files. Hereโ€™s video proof nothing happened. Ok we had to edit it. There are no Epstein Files. There are Epstein Files, but the Democrats made them. Why do you care so much about this Epstein guy? What are โ€œFilesโ€?

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

I encourage everyone to read this letter.

Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.
