South Park's episode brutally mocking Trump had their highest ratings for a season opener since 1999.

โ€œWe just want answers. Thereโ€™s no transparency. Thereโ€™s none. [They are trying] to clear all this up by interviewing the trafficker? Thatโ€™s the solution? We are so post-truthโ€ฆ That would be truly horrific. If there are videos, I want to know.โ€œ

He straight up, deliberately lies about demonstrable facts (the jobs revision happened before not after the election and Trump called it out at the time!) and no reporter challenges him on it. No
Sunday show host challenged his officials about his lies. He gets away with it.

A serious study from a Harvard University political scientist presents a statistic worth remembering: Around the world, once 3.5% of the population became engaged in sustained, non-violent campaigns of resistance, change has always happened.Democracy is inevitable, when the people are determined.

That people can be sent to a concentration camp for overstaying a visa but the organizer of the largest sex trafficking operation of my lifetime is transferred to a low-security prisonโ€”with yoga!โ€”says a lot about the perverse priorities of this country.

And history will burn their reputations with their names into the punchlines those Trump enablers deserve.
Plenty of us will live long enough to see their fall.
They reap the contempt they earned.
As hated as is Trump, they too will have children& grandchildren who are lying about their relationship

When you care about something deeply, & you see it going horrifically wrong, exhaustion is inevitable. But I've found the best antidote to exhaustion is engagement, participation, standing up, speaking out, staying strong, rallying, marching, protesting ... engaging.

Come on friends, let's roll.

โ€œAfter Senate leaders failed to fast-track more of President Trump's nominees before recess, Republicans are vowing to change the rules when they return in September, Axios' Stef Kight and Stephen Neukam report.

Why it matters: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) refused to back down from his demands. Trump ultimately gave Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) cover to let his fatigued conference go home and reset yesterday eveningโ€” setting the stage for a renewed fight this fall.
โš–๏ธ Zoom in: Senate Republicans are eyeing rules changes to counter Democrats' stonewalling of civil nominee confirmations. It's unclear what exact changes they'll pursue.

Some options include eliminating procedural votes; shortening debate time; voting on nominees en bloc; or shortening the list of positions requiring confirmation.
Recess appointments โ€” mentioned again yesterday โ€” remain another path forward.

After days of heated arguments among lawmakers, Trump seemed to permit senators to head home for the scheduled break on Truth Social, where he also said Schumer should "GO TO HELL!"

Schumer refused to buckle in nomination fight vs Trump & his senate bootlickers and Republicans gave in.

More of this please. Even Axios couldnโ€™t spin this for Republicans www.axios.com/newsletters/...

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trumpโ€™s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first heโ€™ll have to come through us.

Itโ€™s time to fight back.

Experts Raise Concerns Over Trumpโ€™s White House Ballroom Renovation Plans President Trump plans to build a $200 million ballroom off the East Wing โ€œlong beforeโ€ the end of his term in 2029.

I don't even know what to say. To Trump voters, I would say $200m that is a total waste is really going to get those grocery prices down, you morons.

SUFFER.

Our Wins Of The Week This week, Democrats had a huge 2026 candidate recruitment victory, as Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina jumped into the race for the U.S.

If Trump was hoping the Epstein headlines would die down and his approval ratings would climb, this wasnโ€™t his week. If Democrats were hoping for a strong start to Roy Cooper's Senate campaign, they got their wish. And if youโ€™re in the mood for some applause-worthy wins, this Week In Wins delivers.

Obama pushes back on Trump's 'outrageous' and 'bizarre' treason claim A spokesperson for the former president called Trump's claim that Obama tried to rig the 2016 election "a weak attempt at a distraction."

You know. If you leave Obama alone, you probably won't hear much from him but when you manufacture evidence to frame him, you bring on a level of disgust from him and all of the rest of us.

Wealthy people with no problems, invent problems to have.

Because they don't know what normal problems are, the problems they come up with to have are guaranteed to be *abnormal* problems. Problems normal people do not have, and do not worry about.
