Over 150 members of Congress just officially demanded the Interior Department block the Yosemite land grab. A new bill drops a 20-year prison sentence on rogue AI developers. The Epstein cover-up is falling apart.

The pressure is actively working on all three fronts. Keep burying their desks today:

I keep thinking about the whistleblower who still works there. They knew what it could cost them and they wrote it down anyway. That’s the whole job on our side too. Thank you for making sure this doesn’t die in a PDF.

I think Don Jr is just following in daddy's footprints. It's been pretty clear from the start that the orange cheeto is a Russian tool, and he's certainly been delivering - with the help of the GOP. The closer we get to November, the more anxious I'm getting. But I'm signed up to work my local polling place, and doing everything I can to make sure folks are registered and will vote!

Agree, Denise! On the darker side, the trumps need to be thinking about what happens to Russian "tools" when they are no longer useful.... and they should stay away from open windows in tall buildings. I have yet to hear about any Russians who get old, retire and live well in old age. Other than Vlad himself.

That’s great, Denise!

Jr's daddy is following in the footsteps of his own daddy, and in Roy Cohn's.

I think Trump didn’t go to his sons’ wedding because he knew who was paying for it and didn’t want to be anywhere near it. I cannot believe for one second he didn’t know. What does Putin expect in return? Oh, I don’t know. How about an unsolicited statement telling Ukraine to stop hitting Russia’s ability to raise money through diesel fuel sales? Maybe an agreement to get Elon Musk to stop providing Starlink info to Ukraine for targeting of oil infrastructure? Who knows. With this administration, everything is for sale.

I knew there was a sinister reason why he didn’t attend the wedding but weddings are only temporary for Trump boys

Fred Jonas's avatar

Maybe the clown didn't attend Jr's wedding because he doesn't give a shit about Jr or anyone else but himself.

Timothy M Dwyer's avatar

True Dat, Fred. But if that weee the reason, he’d never leave the Golden Toilet in his bedroom!

Fred Jonas's avatar

Maybe he rarely does. Where is he all night when he's cartoon rage tweeting?

Yeah, OK, he goes golfing during the day, but that's just to keep his cheating well oiled.

Spot on with your analysis, Timothy M Dwyer 💙🇱🇷

Buying influence - openly. Russian oligarch funding DJT, Jr's wedding party... couple hundred grand - should buy attention from the trump family. Is Bettina really that stupid or is she just so entitled that these 'gifts' feel warranted. Jr is exactly like his dad. They don't even bother trying to cover it up. The trump's have become careless, sloppy in their grifting.

We The People are being shafted. Big time. Midterms. Payback.

Love the read on the maps. Worth the paid subscription for that alone!

“Three hundred thousand Missourians got a gerrymander onto the ballot with clipboards. What would you put on your state’s ballot if you could?”

Reproductive rights,again,after DeSantis along with his criminal staffers defeated the citizen’s amendment with the Hope Florida corruption $$$.

And on a + note…..

“ST. PETERSBURG — A group of Florida Republicans announced Monday to fellow party members that it’s okay to cross party lines and vote for Democrat David Jolly for governor in November.”

WHITE HOUSE CORRUPTION FOR HOW MUCH LONGER???? ASKING FOR A FRIEND!!!!

Tell your friend accountability starts in January!

People are angry at the administration's cruely and double standards benefiting the uber-wealthy. Angry people go to the polls.

We the People don't want to give up an inch of our National Parks.

This administration and the GOP are going to go down because their greed has taken them too far.

No one would have the gaul to accept the over two thousand dollars the Russian paid for their wedding. The fact that T Jr. is friendly with a friend of Putin gets us closer to the story of the family connection.

The grifters are getting money from all sides and did Don Jr. get security clearance to act as an official in talks involving America. There is no shame in that families bones... just greed, illegal methods to get anything they want. The Trumps are a blight on the world map.

Linda Ollis's avatar

Two hundred thousand.

And that may be just what they will admit to.

Patti Scott's avatar

Donny Jrs wedding is political plain and simple. It’s a way for Putin to keep trumpy in his corner without actually being seen together. I don’t even feel American anymore. How can we turn out backs on our allies and Ukraine and get in bed with Putin. It blows my mind that Congress lets the crimes continue! I’m disgusted

Nothing like strings attached to a wad of cash like that! The happy couple won't be so pleased if they get thrown into a gulag when they make one wrong move. They will have to avoid tall buildings or people carrying umbrellas, too.

Just got notified by vote.org. that my mail-in ballot is approved and ready to ship; Nov. 3 is getting closer each day. I remind everyone I do business with to vote; also, I am telling them about 10/17 for activities in the area, at least 11 different places to get involved.

Anyone sending DonOld crying towels for all his "wins"? Thank you, Scott, for more good news 🚫👑🚫👑🚫

Thanks, again, Scott! Right after reading about the 22 Democratic states and Washington, D.C. suing the federal government regarding a law to take effect this Friday denying a green card to immigrants who use Medicaid, food assistance, or housing help, I google searched and AZ was not one of these states. I wrote an email to our Democrat Gov, and Democrat AZ asking that AZ join this lawsuit (hope it's not too late). It's your reporting on things like this that help your readers take needed action.

Do you suppose they can get the video and audio sex tapes back from the Russians? Kompromat comes with this territory for all participants.

Putin wants leverage against cheeto-face. November is coming.

Congress needs to step up investigations into the Trump family business dealings. Was Kusher at the wedding party when their Russian benefactor was there? And he’s still negotiating with Russia on the US behalf with no official government position???

And they definitely need to follow up on ANY federal employee impersonating voters. And then STOP it.
