I love this gritty town. Old school Rust Belt patriot. Our granddaddies made the steel, planes and tanks that defeated Hitler. We ain’t too fond of dictators.

J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
You mean the hundreds of hard-working Americans your company laid off?

She’s really bad at telling whoppers.
RFK Jr must be fired. He’s too deranged and full of himself to leave voluntarily. So it’s vital to convince Trump that keeping Kennedy around drains his own political power and thus his personal wealth by so visibly endangering the health of everyone in the U.S. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
Dear @thecityclub.bsky.social, You see, people are pissed and they’re not going politely listen to fascist propagandists like this guy or Bernie Moreno. By scolding the Moreno crowd last week, you fail to grasp the moment we’re in. @cleveland.com was right to call you out. Read the room.
Her political career was going to die anyway.
I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…

The headline everyone saw coming, despite White House propaganda.
Grateful for amazing lawyers like @markzaidesq.bsky.social and Abbe Lowell who are fighting for truth and transparency. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So great for our nation he got Cracker Barrel in line. Maga idiots rejoice on their way to the poor house.
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
A bad sign of things to come.
Pritzker vs Trump, any thoughts on who wins the showdown?
Here in Ohio, Republicans show once again they can dish it out plenty, but can’t take it. If you don’t want to be jeered, don’t be a despicable fascist.
Trump wants the FCC to revoke the licenses of ABC and NBC because they don’t praise him enough MAGA calls that “free speech”
Darn, we could have used them on Jan. 6, 2021.

Putin demands for Ukraine: 1. Give up all of Donbas 2. No NATO membership, ever 3. No Western troops in Ukraine 1. No 2. Fuck no 3. Eat a dick www.reuters.com/world/china/...
Three cheers for the City Club crowd.

He was jeered because he lies through his teeth on behalf of a lawless fascist dictator. The crowd isn’t the problem. Don’t be a fascist POS and the City Club crowd will be nice to you.
This is how we fight. apnews.com/article/cali...
White nationalists plan to terrorize 55 million people. We know by now what vetting means.

We are very far off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸
The City Club invites a fascist and then scolds the crowd for not being nice as the lawless regime trashes the constitution, dismantles democracy, terrorizes communities and threatens political opponents. Look, if you can’t handle a crowd hostile to a dictatorship, don’t invite a fascist.

JD Vance in Georgia trying to defend their indefensible (and unpopular) bill ... the same week one Georgia hospital says they may have to cut their ICU as a result!
35 percent in 9 days is pure nonsense, right up there on the absurdity scale with lowering drug prices 1,000 percent.
Magas can’t handle disagreement. RFK Jr., like his boss, tries to destroy anyone who doesn’t acquiesce. Fuck him. I trust pediatricians over a lunatic hack.
This is full-on authoritarianism. Free Nicole Collier. #txlege
That’s the spirit, fellow Americans. Let these Trumpists know what anger they’ve triggered.
Our Ohio gov DeWine is trying to justify sending troops like he would honor any request from a Dem or Republican. Total bs. DeWine is depicted as a moderate Republican. There’s no such thing. He wants it both ways. He chose to capitulate to fascist dictator. Shame on him.
It’s a pain to remove your license plate and bring into the polling place. You need tools and your hands get dirty.
Trump is itching for violence. DeWine is sending Ohio troops into a tinderbox for no good reason. Shame on him.
🧵 The cruelty is the point
oh boy. Trump is not going to like that Fox panned his big summit
A man-made disaster made by one man. Can hardly wait to relive the ‘70’s.
Trump’s DOJ: Throwing a sandwich at a law-enforcement official is a felony. Also Trump’s DOJ: Encouraging a mob to “kill” police officers during an insurrectionist attack on the Capitol is fine — and won’t prevent you from getting a job at the DOJ. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
"U.S. economy was 'The envy of the world' in the fall of 2024 "Trump could have just left this success story alone & claimed credit... he’d probably be riding high in the polls... Instead... took econ policy in a radical direction..." @pkrugman.bsky.social paulkrugman.substack.com/p/stagflatio...
Another must-read from Sargent on Trump’s fascist wet dream of a militarized anti-democratic Gestapo against US citizens. #NoFascistUSA “It’s particularly alarming the way Trump is merging Homeland Security & DOD into his personal domestic police force,” Smith wrote in a letter demanding records.

Finally, Alex Jones, one of the biggest pieces of shit on earth, is getting his just deserts.
You can’t save stupid people from themselves. I do feel sorry for the children, though.
Gavin Newsom is so good at this 😆
Trump’s war on truth has no limits. In the long run, it won’t work. For now, we’re in for a shit ton of crisis.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.
Vance is so stinking bad even redneck Ohioans dislike him.
MAGA ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The owner of a 125 acre Oregon cherry orchard will lose $300,000 plus this season. His cherries are shrivel like big black raisins, still on the trees…because ICE wiped out over half of his work force….and he couldn’t get them picked. The stupidest MF’r in America…is president.
For profit public services is an oxymoron.
How are all the Teamsters who supported Trump feeling right now?

These cruel bastards. This is their idea of respecting the military?
If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.
His track record of lying is extensive and should be noted in every story about him.
Here’s an idea. Go pleasure boat somewhere else.
Proudly stupid is so America. It’s sad that these people allow themselves to be led around by Maga charlatans.
The mayor and his wife are a disgrace. They’re also quite nuts.The voters can’t recall him fast enough. I don’t live in Cleveland Hts. and have no stake in it. But clearly the residents deserve better.

Trump is panicking because the economic numbers are giving a recession vibe. From the Chief Economist at Moody's.
"Don’t let anyone tell you Maxwell was a bystander or just Epstein’s pawn. She was an active predator, a planner, a participant. A woman who used her privilege, her access, and her power to destroy young girls’ lives. And now they’re giving her comfort?" open.substack.com/pub/levremem...
Y’all chose this over Sherrod Brown. Come on, Ohio. Really?
As a lifelong Ohioan, I couldn’t agree with you more. We once were a great state in many ways. Our steep decline is shameful. The most corrupt state government in the US, a failing economy. GOP is completely responsible. Yet Maga buffoons keep voting for them.
Donald Trump is posting threats about the most powerful weapons on Earth to salve his ego and improve his political fortunes, Tom Nichols argues. https://theatln.tc/kOJ3wFCz
I would look to @pkrugman.bsky.social to tell us of this. He has hinted that there is a group of economists watching other data to confirm if the books are being systematically cooked. @economist.com had a good review last year of how authoritarians typically cook the books. So embarrassing.
This may be a naive question, but is there an independent group, a university that isn’t cowed by Trump, that can provide reliable numbers going forward?
There is no plan. It’s like watching a monkey pull levers.
No worries. When his sorry ass is gone, we’ll have the best impeachment exhibit ever.
1/On July 21, the Washington Post ran a piece headlined, “Trump officials accused of defying 1 in 3 judges who ruled against him.” There are real reasons for the courts to be concerned about the Trump administration gearing up to actively flout the authority of the Article III branch of government.
DOJ has filed a meritless complaint about Judge Boasberg in the District of Columbia. The administration is intent on going to war with the judiciary. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
They’ll never stop repeating the lie. They’re too stupid and arrogant to know they can’t rewrite history.
Sounds like the judge was stating the obvious truth. They’re attacking him because truth is their enemy.
2/ "...people are really going to be seeing it in groceries. They’re going to be seeing it in a lot of the things that ordinary people buy—and not next year, but just a few months down the pike."
Can’t change haters. All you can do is defeat them.
Dear TV weather, stop with the heat indexes and just give us the temps.
This kind of reporting fails to truly capture the moment. We’re in the grip of a fascist hate movement destroying democracy, dismantling health care, education. Persecuting immigrants. But it’s normalized as policy discourse. For God sakes, they’re building concentration camps with this bill.

CARTOON OF THE DAY
Excellent point that needs to be stated again and again. All the parties are compromised. DOJ can’t be trusted to act in good faith.
Conservatives are celebrating this tariff deal like Donald Trump just cured cancer. In reality, Americans are going to pay 15% more on everything we import from Europe. It's just going to drive more inflation. You can't gaslight people into believing everything is cheaper.
Huge shoutout to these healthcare workers for standing up to the Gestapo. If you see stormtroopers in your local clinic or hospital take their picture and help resisting staff if you can. #namethenazis
These lunatics are anti-health. There is no other way to see it. They are intentional about inflicting preventable illnesses and deaths. It’s a death cult.
Heading into NYC for a live shot, and this is the sign on one of the overpasses
Look what Fox News published.
Another bombshell dropped today, pointing to motive for the coverup.
The media needs to report Trump’s unhinged accusations. But to your point, the stories demand context. The media must point out, in every story about this, Trump’s track record of lies, phony conspiracies and baseless smears. A news outlet that fails to do that is guilty of journalistic malpractice.
