I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

ICE video shows officers planned to ‘smash’ into Charlotte man filming Border Patrol Immigration agents had a 12-pack of Modelos in their car while making arrests, Miguel Angel Garcia Martinez told investigators.

"Court video showed ICE agents, who allegedly had a 12-pack of Modelo in their car...

"“This is great,” an officer said as they started following Martinez. “This is fun,” another replied.

The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.

Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Twitter's new feature that reveals where accounts originate doesn't reveal many surprises.

Thanks for everything, DOGE. 🤡

This is gonna soil Trump's britches. Twice as many people blame Trump over Biden for the current economy.

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

The Trump admin keeps making things worse as they try to lie their way out of the crisis around the so-called Ukraine “peace plan.” We break it all down, and dissect all the weekend’s news, in today’s bulletin. We’ve made this one 100% paywall free: www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

I’m hoping now that the list has been exposed as a Russian wishlist, they’ll have an avenue to do that, yes.

The administration is scrambling trying to figure out how to respond. Now they’re saying it was decidedly on bilaterally, but it was written up by the Russians. Ridiculous.

No including Trump’s flights to his golf clubs, we’re probably looking at several BILLION dollars in waste. It’s disgusting.

IYO what's $total of waste/abuse in DOD&DHS this year?

CROW: We wanted to start a conversation about the dangerous rhetoric this president is using and threats he's made to use our military in an unlawful way

BRENNAN: Specifically what?

CROW: Send troops into Chicago, into polling stations, kill terrorists' families, shoot peaceful protesters ...

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

President Trump says he will terminate the Temporary Protected Status program for Somalis in Minnesota On Friday night, President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account that he would be terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status program for Somalis in Minnesota.

It’s not surprising that the President has chosen to broadly target an entire community. This is what he does to change the subject.

If it made the news at all, that's a win...

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based.

Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

We got “liberated”, alright — from jobs that make stuff. 🤡

Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

A Fox News poll this week found Obamacare is more popular than Trump, either party and congressional leaders. Only 3 points below Fox's all-time high for the law reached in 2023 static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/...

Year-over-year gains in REAL earnings are slipping: 2.0% last year, 1.3% in July, 1.1% in August, and now 0.8%...

#CNBC is running little pieces from small business owners who are getting slammed by the #Tariffs.

I think this is the most damning anti-Tariff programming I've seen. Yet no one is talking about it. It is brilliant and should be made share-able

“Survival of the fittest”
is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used.
He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses, as hate symbols.
