This week is the proof. They came for a performer, a stack of kids’ medical files, and a professor who wouldn’t lie to cadets — and they left empty-handed. That’s what happens when you make them show their work. Don’t you dare tell me nothing ever changes. We’re 67 days out. Stay loud.
Making them show their work is where the house of cards collapses every single time. 67 days out—let's stay loud, stay organized, and bring this across the finish line!
I don't understand how a government has a right to dictate what we believe in or what is taught in our educational system. For any government to dictate how we speak or believe is taking us back to NAZI-Germany and dictatorship! To order a climate scientist on the faculty at West Point to "remove every mention of human-caused climate change from all of its courses" is sheer despotism. People who negate climate change and the impact we humans have caused are absolute fools and are governed by their greed to use up Earth resources. I point to the human tragedy happening in India right now. If this planet and its inhabitants are to survive, we must stop damaging our planet and using up its resources.
After seeing photos of Kennedy, swimming in an almost polluted river with his grandchildren or nieces and nephews – – why would anything he does surprise you? Remember, he has a worm in his brain, and I only wish it would hurry up and eat all of it and do us all a favor.
How many billionaires are there? I want to know who on this planet, who in this nation in particular, actually approves of trump?
His “approval” rating is somewhere in a 30s last I heard. Who makes up this approval number? It seem AWFULLY high for a deranged, demented, narcissistic, lying, irrational, inexplicably stupid and mean man who stays awake all night dictating cruelty and misinformation to a young, obsessed blond sycophant who posts the ravings on truthsocial; and spends all day sleeping through important meetings and events.
I don’t understand why his approval rating isn’t in the negative 30s.
You capture the collective bewilderment so well, Wis. It’s hard to fathom, but keeping our eyes on voter mobilization is how we turn that frustration into real power at the ballot box!
"Who makes up this approval number?" I think that is the key question to ask. Polls are pretty useless, IMO. They have become just another propaganda tool.
I don't know who, or how, these poles are conducted. It certainly would be interesting to know. I have never in my life been asked to participate in any kind of pole.
Hear, Hear, Wis. Me either. The 30 is probably a lie and it must be lower. Trump has given nothing; understandable only his own needs, and couldn't tell the truth if he was forced to. He doesnt know what it is.
If republicans in congress and the cabinet amounted to 30% of the population, I could see it. But they only add up to something like one zillionth of a percent. It’s an unhappy mystery.
"TRUMPHAUSTED" is officially inducted into the dictionary, Linda! 😂 We completely understand the fatigue—take care of yourself, recharge, and know we're right here with you!
Scott, I was fortunate to have attended JFk’s Inauguration and I’m a Bostonian so I usually support the Kennedys. However, Bob is the exception. I believe seeing his father assassinated in front of him might have affected his adult thinking. He has proven to be dangerous to those who follow him.
What an incredible memory to have attended JFK’s inauguration, Brenda. It makes the contrast today all the more heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful reflection and continuing to stand up for genuine leadership!
Ditto to that! Wasn't Dolly a wonder? For the slithering scumbag sewer rat to post a picture of himself alongside America's sweetheart borders on incurable insanity. Dolly had more humanity in her little fingertip than the despicable sewer rat has in entire bloated sack of blubber. Dolly was loved by millions of people, and the sewer rat is despised and vilified by hundreds of millions of people all over the world. The scumbag rat just can't stand for anyone to steal his spotlight.
Thank you for championing candidates up and down the ballot in Alabama, GRC! Building power at every level of government is how lasting change happens!
What a way to start the weekend! 9 weeks to go, voting now an important right for all Americans, we need to emphasize that the Repuglicons have nothing to back up their claims --nothing but hot air! Kennedy is a lawyer, no doctor, so he should follow science and professional experts; his opinion is just that, not based on real facts.
More Trumpstein files heat, Katie Fang is relentless, worthy of much admiration, but most of all, respect! Justice for the victims!
Love that Friday momentum, Kristen! Nine weeks to go—keeping the focus on science, facts, and justice for victims is how we win. Let’s keep moving forward!
Yes, pharmaceutical companies make money selling drugs. So do the companies selling all sorts of Miracle cures as supplements. Drug companies have to demonstrate the efficacy of the drugs they sell. By contrast, the supplement industry gets away with a disclaimer acknowledging that their claims have not been accepted by the FDA. Kennedy is a shill for the Big Unregulated Supplement Industry
Excellent breakdown, Kim. Distinguishing rigorous scientific standards and FDA trials from unregulated marketing claims is vital for public health. Thank you for sharing the facts!
Excellent post, Scott. Thank you, as always. President Trump and everyone who works for him are weak, which is why they are all bluster and no substance. And there is no better place to get your bluster deflated than in court.
RFK , Jr. Totally has abandoned his oath of office to support America's Constitution. So has Hegseth and the rest of the miserable sucking leeches in Trump's Cabinet who do whatever he says even though they know they are propagating lies to earn themselves money.
We are currently experiencing the ugly backhand of capitalism taken to an exponential degree.
Powerful words, Linda. Demanding that public officials honor their oaths to the Constitution and put public safety before self-enrichment is non-negotiable. Thank you!
I live in Red State, Utah, and we vote exclusively by mail using ballots sent through the US Postal Service. You can submit completed ballots via mail, ballot drop boxes or at a voting center ~ ZERO issues. This past May, a comprehensive audit of Utah’s voter database found the vast majority of people registered to cast a ballot — 99.72% — are verifiable U.S. citizens, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson announced Wednesday.
Thank you for sharing those concrete, audited facts from Utah, Paul! Highlighting how secure, accurate, and accessible vote-by-mail works in practice is the best way to defeat misinformation.
OUR MAIN FOCUS TODAY FOR OBVIOUS REASONS:
Tell Congress: Protect our use of voting by mail and voting machines

What I would say to Bob Kennedy: "How can you live with yourself? Your father would be so ashamed of you."
hat says it all in two sentences, Mary Evelyn. The disappointment is shared by so many across the country. Thank you for speaking from the heart!
After seeing photos of Kennedy, swimming in an almost polluted river with his grandchildren or nieces and nephews – – why would anything he does surprise you? Remember, he has a worm in his brain, and I only wish it would hurry up and eat all of it and do us all a favor.
8647 and the quack that is killing people!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I cannot believe that over 30% still approved of the Orange Blob's policies!
I don't know who, or how, these poles are conducted. It certainly would be interesting to know. I have never in my life been asked to participate in any kind of pole.
You know? That’s a great point! Who are these mutants? (😉)

Remember that his racist, warped printer girl is doing a lot of the posting. POS is not capable of doing all of that stuff himself.
Is there such a word a TRUMPHAUSTED???? If not I'm claiming it now!
"TRUMPHAUSTED" is officially inducted into the dictionary, Linda! 😂 We completely understand the fatigue—take care of yourself, recharge, and know we're right here with you!
Good one Linda!

Naw, it was all the heroin and snorting cocaine off of toilet seats. The worm probably resuscitated a few brain cells before it ate them.
Bob Kennedy is a lying bastard, a complete fool, a snake-oil scamster and an extreme danger to the health and welfare of this country.
His family is not in favor of him.
So glad to see Texas stepping up. I hope you keep this up!
The energy and courage rising in Texas is truly inspiring, Donna! We’ll keep cheering them on and shining a light on every single step forward!
The one time I would ever step foot into Texas would be to see Bandit bring out that guitar from Dolly. Kudos to her!
Ditto to that! Wasn't Dolly a wonder? For the slithering scumbag sewer rat to post a picture of himself alongside America's sweetheart borders on incurable insanity. Dolly had more humanity in her little fingertip than the despicable sewer rat has in entire bloated sack of blubber.

Love the spirit, Jude!
absolutely
Vote straight Democrat in Alabama, especially Doug Jones for Governor, Phillip Ensler for Lieutenant Governor, and Andrew Sneed for House District 05.
Thank you for championing candidates up and down the ballot in Alabama, GRC! Building power at every level of government is how lasting change happens!
Pennsylvania has three toss-ups and a governor up 16. If you’re tired of being told the map is frozen, start there.
Spot-on analysis, Ms Jonington! Pennsylvania proves that no map is permanently frozen when people organize and turn out. Start there and keep pushing!

You mean like those companies Dr. Oz and RatFuckerKook peddle?

Perfectly stated, Joan! Bluster deflates fast when it runs into evidence and a courtroom judge. Thank you for your continued support!
Thank you so much for these bits of good news, to break up the sea of Downright Awful. I do appreciate it.
So glad this provided a bright spot, Ellie! Breaking through the noise with real wins is why we're here every day. Keep that head held high!
