Code Name: Change

We’re just not a serious country anymore. Beyond a joke.

That chyron

I visited Baghdad in the middle of a civil war and didn't whine this much

🚨TESTIMONY OF THE YEAR: A Texas voter just torched Donald Trump and Greg Abbott during a redistricting hearing - and it was BRUTAL:

“He cheated on the golf course…
He cheated on his taxes…
He cheated on his wives…
He cheated on democracy…”

But then came the mic drop 👇

Oh my god

For someone who promised to “drain the swamp” and “eliminate the deep state” day one, they sure seem to be able to constantly foil him.

Drowned out: While Texans beg for help, the GOP redraws the map to cheat.

The purpose of the special session wasn’t about flood relief. It was about stealing elections.

Let me make it plain: Over 100 dead. Flood victims plead for help. Republicans were busy rigging maps for Trump.

📉 GDP: lower than expected
📈 Inflation: higher than expected

The Trump effect in action

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life.

Wait, sorry, no. That's Alabama.

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.

Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?

Great work, John Roberts. You’ve played a key role in wrecking our beloved country.

Release ALL the Epstein files. Let the shit fly!

"No matter where I lived, I knew this was guaranteed because after moving into a new place, we’d plug in our old box television, adjust the shitty little antenna just so, and voila, like magic, there was PBS. It was free."

I Know Exactly What They Are Doing Rural foresight

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.”

I beg to differ. This is curated failure open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April.

What happened next?

Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).

Everything is for sale.
