A MUST WATCH!
Republicans in Congress have formed the GOP Speleological Society. Their motto is “We love to cave.”
Context: The guard is picking up trash in DC because Trump and the Republicans gutted DC & the parks budgets.
I agree with telling him never. But I suspect dead silence is better. He will scream at rejection - claiming headlines. But just acting like he doesn’t exist will really torment him.
tRump’s favorite statistic is not crimes per capita but crimes per non-white mayor.
A crisis a day keeps the Files away.
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
Bang, Bang, Maxwell’s golden yammer Made sure that she’d be freed.

You get the trickle while they line their nests with down.
How is that not an unreported political donation?

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
“WE’RE in the very early stages?” Who’s the “WE?” The Justice Department is supposed to be totally independent. Totally independent of the President & Vice President. Great. Looks like John Bolton now has his defense.
By mid September, they’ll call it Biden’s Big Bad Bill.
tRump holding office does, in fact, constitute a national emergency.
I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.
Big change from when Sagan talked about this! We are no longer 19th for infant mortality. We're 33rd.
Ford cracks Corvette ZR1 ‘Ring record – with an electric van*
On Robert’s tombstone: “He brought Calvinball to jurisprudence.”
Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news. As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
Now we know what Putin asked for last week.
“I’m not writing this as a Democrat or Republican, I’m writing this as a man watching families like mine wear themselves thin.” 🇺🇸
All those European leaders who were in the WH on Monday have intel on tRump. Intel on Putin’s work in 2016 and 2024 to install him as president. Intel on his involvement with Epstein. Maybe they could all join in on a Release Everything Celebration.
Here’s the one simple question every Democrat running for office next year should ask every American voter.

All the EVs you can buy with 0% interest financing in August 2025
Reads like a rant by someone whose election was supported by a foreign dictator - a dictator who has threatened to reveal what was done.
PutIn: “OJ ( he calls him OJ for Orange Jumpsuit), wanna see my leather bound copy of the Epstein files? Jeff signed it, “ To Vlad, wish you were in here.” tRump: “NO! You know I don’t read.” PutIn: “Wanna watch the movie? It came with the book.”
Had trouble reading that word under the highlighter. Does this say “defile her legacy?” I thought that was a fundamental feature of tRump appointments.
FLASHBACK: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”
Imagine holding this out as your #1 qualification @repjohnrose our advice: save your money and give it to some people you’re stripping health care and food stamps from instead.
Putin: “My Kompromat on you is bigger than your Kompro…Oh, you don’t have anything on me.”
1st Art of the Deal: Never try to negotiate with someone who has more Kompromat on you than you have on him.
1st Art of the Deal: Never try to deal with someone who has more Kompromat on you than you have on him.
Did tRump ever actually say which 24 hours? I think they’re the last 24 hours in the two weeks to present a replacement for Obamacare. Or maybe the last 24 hours in Infrastructure Week.
To be clear “privatize” just means that for-profit businesses will take a cut of every dollar you put into SS. And they’ll take a cut of every dollar you take out. And they’ll profit from your wins and your losses.
ALABAMA: “The verdict is in. The state’s tough immigration law just isn’t working out… American workers not mentally or physically fit enough to last one day…”
The only housing MAGA is willing to provide is for-profit imprisonment.
What do you expect? The whole contract is about a Loop Hole.
Two bankruptcies per marriage - is that the standard?
Are they calling it “tRump-style rendition?”
On Monday? Wouldn’t Taco Tuesday have been a more appropriate choice?
Can’t Pelosi stop him from deploying the NG?

Perhaps not so much “persuasion” as instruction.
History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
"Tangerine Tyranny" When a lifelong Republican wakes up and turns on the GOP
It’s a tunnel to funnel money to himself.
When it comes to government waste, fraud, and abuse, there appears to be a loop hole.
Reality: that “extra revenue” is higher costs paid by regular American consumers & businesses, and the “tax relief” is going to the rich not you. JD is pissing 💦 on your head and telling you it’s raining — and @marshablackburn is using this line also as she runs for governor.

BETO TO DEMS: “We don’t wait for the punch thrown by these would-be fascists to land. We punch first, and punch harder… CA, NJ, IL, MD — redraw your lines now. Don’t wait for Texas to move first.”
I always thought Big Brother and his faction understood reality and used that understanding plus misinformation to exercise control. But tRump and his minions have no understanding of reality. They do know how to use lies, noise, and threats to enrich themselves w/out regard to reality.
Thought Trump's Epstein scandal might bother evangelicals? No, they couldn't care less. The collective shrug is part of a long evangelical tradition of falling for narcissists who pose as saviors.
There are opportunities distancing from Musk/Tesla without rewarding Big Oil. Libs need to consider them.
A tunnel going out and back must be a loop hole. If it sends a boatload of money to its Digger-In-Chief, it’s a tunnel funnel.
More death at Core Civic prisons in Tennessee Their death rates are much higher than state-run prisons, they fail every audit, yet @GovBillLee & the Republican supermajority extends their contracts They run 4 private prisons here. State law only allows 1🤷🏼♂️ www.wsmv.com/2025/08/07/1...

I'm an ex sex crimes prosecutor. The Epstein victims are being victimized again because of a political stunt of Trump's. He's a malignant narcissist and has no empathy for these victims. I worked with victims of sex crimes for 17 years. This is truly horrific.
Funded by several NIH grants, including two of them to a Harvard researcher. This is the kind of thing the current administration is trying to take away from us. THIS
In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this. Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?
With Marsha, Tennesseans should expect more corruption, more cruelty, and more corporate giveaways.
The billionaires, corporations and big Pharma finally got their puppet candidate. Marsha Blackburn’s record is clear: she’s raised costs on our families, defunded our schools, and stood by while rural hospitals shut their doors.
New from me: Florida has failed to show legal agreements giving the state authority to detain immigrants in Alligator Alcatraz, despite two federal judges ordering them to produce them. The place is basically operating as an extrajudicial black site. It’s illegal.
Next month, when you look at jobs creation and other new numbers from the tRump admin, and you think something smells funny, remember that those numbers were pulled out of somebody’s a**.
By that do they mean in two tRump weeks?
A massive regressive national sales tax imposed upon every American by a president with no constitutional authority to impose a national sales tax. The reason why the founders gave this power to Congress is because this would never pass any Congress- even this one.
If only Republicans would allow their politics to be affected by the elemental human truth that nobody wants to die young, lives could be saved. But health care is expensive, and sadly, lives are cheap. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/nobody-wan...
Every Democrat would benefit from reading this.
How awful is he? The first rule of golf if you’re playing with tRump is that he wins. So shank a few balls to stay behind him. What? He still to have his caddy help him cheat to win? That’s awful.
The Trump regime is blocking release of the Epstein files after promising their release. It's giving preferential treatment to child molester Ghislaine Maxwell in hopes she won't reveal Trump's connection to the scandal. Keep reminding people about this. It matters.
STUDY: “TN among worst for health care (outcomes, infant mortality, patients readmitted, at-risk adults with no routine doc visit, etc…)” As @GovBillLee & Republicans refuse to expand Medicaid, Trump & Marsha & Republicans slash $1 Trillion from it, etc. www.wkrn.com/news/tenness...
This is Virginia Guiffre's statement to Ghislane Maxwell, read by Guiffre's attorney in court the day Maxwell was sentenced. I had to divide it into 2 parts. Please read each & share. These are the words of a child rape victim, a victim of the monster Trump now protecting & arranging her freedom.
Duh Furor!
So we’re the only outlet that finds it newsworthy that the company behind @GovBillLee’s Tesla tunnel project was founded by Lee’s Economic Development Commissioner Stuart Mcwhorter’s father? And their execs hid their ID’s when blocking @brotherjones_ from the event?
We’re starting to think it was never about protecting kids
JD will reimpose those EOs, probably on firmer ground.
From now on, all jobs numbers will be coming from the guy who says he’s 6’3 and weighs 215.
Is Bongino in the files, or was he too insignificant?
Believe her victims!
And then history will record that man as having brought disgrace on Washington D.C. by filling its big empty box full of lies and everything he stole from the people who put him there, and he won’t be able to fire history. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/donald-tru...
Satire: People are saying that the letters C, m, and r were redacted in the FBI’s review of the Epstein files.
Wow
And again for the people in the back: Maxwell didn't just recruit, groom and organize sex trafficking, she also PARTICIPATED in the raping of children.
I will always believe Maxwell’s victims before believing her apologists.
Remember when Trump told Big Oil he'd deliver their wish list if they gave $1B to his campaign? Well, his billionaire tax giveaway gave them an $18 BILLION windfall — while gutting Medicaid. A corrupt bargain through and through and another betrayal of the American people.
“And we note our place with book markers That measure what we've lost” Paul Simon
With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.
Roach Garden
Next Epstein news cycle, tRump announces that Ghislane and L.T. will be married in the White House tRump Gold Room. The event hall is expected to be completed in two weeks, as is Maxwell’s pardon.
It is seriously dangerous territory when Trump fires anyone who doesn't cook the books for him. The entire economy hinges on the accurate, nonpartisan data we get from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Republicans need to join us in fighting to protect the integrity of BLS.
I had to squint, but I see that the autopen actually signs his name Donald Swamp.
He has a private burial ground at Bedminster.
Send her to Heard and McDonald Islands.
Basically, his only understanding of cause and effect is that some causes affect him. So he manipulates those causes for effect.
