We too often feel helpless and hopeless. That’s what they want, they thrive in chaos. But here is a reminder: 250 years of America, and our generation will not be the one that fails her. Period. And in the rear view, it will seem worth it.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

It's not so much that they're taking ideas from Patriot Front as it is that there's probably a very sizable overlap in membership.

Conservatism in the United States, summarized —>

We've been on this trajectory since Bush V. Gore.

Boy, those WaPo pieces are pathetic. For example, they describe the billions the tarriffs are "Bringing In" -without once admitting the billions are paid by AMERICAN CONSUMERS.

Bezos should change the name -he's trading on the former glory of a corpse at this point.

Who knew that "late Saddam" finishings were so readily available at Home Depot

Once again, the way you know these tariffs are illegal under the very laws being used to justify them is that there is no such thing as a "national emergency" that magically flares up & then disappears & then flares up again & then disappears every 90 days.

US households expect higher longer-run inflation, New York Fed says Americans' longer-term inflation outlook deteriorated in July even as households boosted their views on the current and future state of their respective financial situations, according to data released on Thursday by the New York Federal Reserve.

Something to watch: NY Fed data released today show that in July the longest horizon of expected inflation ticked higher, which generally speaking is not ideal and could merit Fed attention amid Trump import tax frenzy.

Trump's massive tariffs are here. Apple found a way to wiggle out of them.

Apple is putting $100 billion into a Kentucky glass factory & moving some supply chains to the US.

Trump yesterday announced a **100% tariff** on chips & semiconductors -- with carveouts for Apple + other major tech firms.

Heinous.

"Last night I was informed that tomorrow will be my last day in the FBI. I understand that you may have a lot of questions regarding why, for which I currently have no answers," the FBI's former acting director, Brian Driscoll, wrote in a farewell message to colleagues.

This is an absolute betrayal to people who faithfully served their country. There is not a single Republican on earth who gets to utter the lie that they “care about our troops” now

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

Being awful to Americans who honorably served the country for nearly two decades, just to be bigots.

🚨DHS asks the Supreme Court to halt an injunction restricting the ability of ICE and Border Patrol to stop and question people based on factors such as speaking Spanish, being Latino, doing day labor, or being in certain areas.

Hard not to read this as a request for a license to racially profile.

I'm most proud of how flammable it was

we all know that the proof for the administration that an institution is not implementing affirmative action will be the percentage of nonwhite admits. the lower the better. any more than a smattering of black and Hispanic students will be evidence of illegal discrimination (against whites)

breaking: there are 1488 people in America

Nothing— and I mean nothing— about this decision is more than the bare desire to harm.

More heads roll at FBI At least three more officials, including the head of the powerful Washington field office, have been told they are being fired.

NEW: More FBI leaders were axed Thursday in the latest purge by the Trump administration.

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

KEY EXCERPT: Trump admin says "common sense" gives any immigration officer reasonable suspicion to stop and question any Latino speaking Spanish anywhere in the Central District of California (covering 7 counties; LA, San Bernadino, Riverside, Ventura, Orange, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara).
