Trump lashes out at four Republicans who finally voted to rein in his war powers
The House of Representatives finally formally rebuked the president yesterday, after four Republicans joined all Democrats in the lower chamber to rein in Donald Trump’s wildly misused war powers in Iran, sending the wannabe dictator into a proper tailspin. The president took to his trusty social media platform and lambasted the GOP turncoats as unpatriotic “GRANDSTANDERS,” screamed that the Democrats all had Trump Derangement Syndrome, then declared the vote meaningless.

If it meant nothing, then why all the outrage? Perhaps because this is just the latest in a rapidly lengthening list of defeats, rejections, and betrayals from a small group of Republicans who are increasingly sick of his shit. Donald’s agenda and administration are unraveling at rapid pace, and all he can do is scream into the void.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump faces nightmare scenario in deep-red state
A perfect storm is brewing in Iowa, where Donald Trump’s downright disastrous economic policies and the lack of incumbency power have suddenly put the state’s governorship and a US Senate seat in play for Democrats. Brian Tyler Cohen spoke with newly minted Democratic Senate hopeful Josh Turek about the very specific reasons both he and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand are bullish about their prospects in November. Turns out bankrupting farmers with idiotic tariffs isn’t a winning issue in Iowa.

Take Action: Chip in to elect Josh Turek and flip the Senate blue!

Karma strikes for turncoat Democrat who blocked new maps in Maryland
Bobby LaPin for Maryland: In response to the wave of illegal, racist Republican gerrymanders passed acrossed the South, Maryland lawmakers drew up new maps of their own that would have given Democrats another safe blue seat. The state Senate was ready to approve them and the governor ready to sign, but Senate President Bill Ferguson refused to even hold a vote. Now he’s facing a ferocious primary challenge from firefighter Bobby LaPin, who has vowed to fight for our democracy — and is harshly critical of Ferguson’s corporate war chest. Will you chip in to help Bobby LaPin defeat Trump’s ally in the Maryland legislature and make sure next time, we can get our new maps passed?

Trump back on his mail-in voting bullshit, claims Democrats are cheating by counting votes in California
Can someone please explain to our toddler-in-chief that counting mail-in ballots in larger precincts takes longer…because there are more ballots to count? Also, friendly reminder that Donald voted by mail earlier this year and in the presidential primary in 2020. Rules for thee, not for me!

Take Action: Tell the FBI and DOJ: Stop targeting Trump’s political opponents!

Iran nuclear threat higher now than before Trump’s war, says IAEA
Incredible job, Mr. President! At least the cost of literally everything also isn’t higher. Shit. Never mind.

Trump regime has separated dozens of children from their parents for a second time, AP finds
Eight years after Donald Trump’s forcible border separations came to an official halt following global outrage, an AP investigation has found that the MAGA cult leader’s current regime has re-separated dozens of children from their families, despite a landmark legal settlement meant to keep them together.

Some of their parents have been locked in immigration detention facilities for months, others deported back to their home countries after being taken from their families yet again. In some cases, immigration officials conducting interior arrests deported people despite discovering they were legally off limits for removal.

Again, for the Epsteinth time, the cruelty IS the point.

New Fox News poll shows GOP senator trailing Democrat in state Trump won by 11 points
Ohio Republican Jon Husted, the man appointed to JD Vance’s Senate seat following the cosplay hillbilly’s unfortunate ascension to the vice presidency, is facing fierce political headwinds in his bid to hold onto his seat — and political career — in November. Despite Trump and Vance winning the Buckeye State by 11 points in 2024, a startling new Fox News poll shows former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown leading Husted by 8 points — a nearly 20-point swing. More where that came from, please!

Trump whips out ridiculous poster to celebrate $13 million reflecting pool renovation
America’s imbecile-in-chief took time out of his very busy day to show off his latest poster, titled, “Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers.” Nice to know the president is laser-focused on resolving the many intractable problems of his own making that are causing so much financial duress for the country. Also, is he…planning on trying to stand the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool upright? He knows how water works, right?

National Guard deployment has had “no measurable effect on violent crime” in DC and — despite Trump’s claims
While crime numbers in our nation’s capital have barely budged, the wannabe dictator’s performative National Guard deployment has had a dramatic effective…on US taxpayers. Following a Trump directive earlier this year ordering Guard troops to remain deployed in DC for the rest of 2026, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said that decision alone would cost a whopping $660 million. Is this what he meant by winning?

DHS watchdog finds use-of-force issues and safety and sanitation concerns at Louisiana ICE center
Another day, another ICE detention center horror story. The United States government is spending billions of taxpayer dollars caging some 60,000 human beings across the country like shelter animals and asking Americans to simply look the other way. The arc of the moral universe may indeed be long, but it sure as shit better bend toward justice the minute Trump and his white supremacist MAGA goons are out of office.
