NOVEMBER SURPRISE.
Former Miss Teen USA, Dr. Larissa Portnoff, just came out with disgusting, disturbing allegations against Donald Trump.
Portnoff is a highly respected New York–based clinical psychologist and clinical director of New York Psychology Practice, She earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Columbia University.
Every republican running tomorrow needs to get on record as to whether they support Donald Trump’s attacks on this poor woman.

What if a federal agent walks into a polling place and demands the ballots?
Watch this civics video. States run elections. No federal agency can seize ballots without a lawful court-issued warrant. Even then, it would be extraordinary federal interference in how states run their elections.

Ossoff: When he first announced the tariffs, you remember that? He called it Liberation Day, and it crashed the markets because it was clown policy. You remember that?
OK, so follow me through on this. He announces the tariffs on April 2 of last year. The markets tank nonstop for like a week because it’s a disastrous trade policy, and six days into the crash, April 8, Trump buys millions in stock. I’m talking Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, and then the very next morning, April 9, he posts on Truth Social, quote, “This is a great time to buy.” Three exclamation marks.
OK, now listen to this. Three hours and 41 minutes after that post, one day after he bought millions in stock, he canceled the tariffs and triggered one of the biggest same-day rebound rallies in market history.
He’s trying to get money. And you saw, now he’s offering paid subscriptions to presidential announcements, right? Just understand what’s for sale here: The sitting president’s pronouncements on war and peace and economic policy delivered first to paying customers.
What an absolute crook.

Trump is re-labeling whole swaths of the U.S. border “defense areas” so that the military can take over.
When I was at DHS, our lawyers would’ve called this “stupid” and “illegal” and “dystopian.”
Because it is.

Marie Wilcox realized she was the last person on Earth who could speak the Wukchumni language fluently, so at 82, she taught herself to use a computer and spent seven years typing a 6,000-word Wukchumni dictionary, the first written record of the language in history, to save it from extinction.

Your president pardoned people who did this to me and like you, he wants to make the lives whole or better than before January 6 while not giving a shit about officers.

What's wrong with Trump's $1B White House reno? Four biggies.
1) He lied that taxpayers wouldn't be on the hook for it.
2) Trump asked Congress to fund it. Congress declined; Trump is doing it anyway.
3) Trump is robbing other pots of money, including for the Secret Service and Nat'l Parks, to do it again, in defiance of Congress
4) Trump is soliciting money from unknown donors for unknown amounts, opening the door to corruption and influence peddling.
So, yes, this is much worse than a home reno gone wrong! It's a massive separation of powers issue, and Congress ought to make clear NO FUNDING means NO FUNDING.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year.
Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave at least 23 times.

I’m seeking an official oversight visit with a bipartisan Senate Delegation to the USS Lincoln to investigate the reported alarming conditions.
Unlike Donald Trump, I've seen active duty. The way he's treating our service members as he carries out this illegal war is not just disgusting; it’s dangerous. These sailors are owed a sense of when they will go home.
The stories of crew members threatening to jump off the ship are a frightening alarm bell as to how bad the situation has become: moldy showers, sporadic hot water, rationed meals and soap, broken toilets, and grueling 12- to 16-hour shifts with no days off.
Congress must do its duty to provide oversight and hold the administration accountable for these actions.

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s attempt to control mail-in voting — again — stating, “the executive branch has no authority to regulate elections.” The Constitution gives the power to administer elections to the states, NOT the president.

Vaccines save lives.
Doctors know it. Scientists know it. Decades of research has proven it. And millions more children are alive and healthy as a result.
When public health guidance strays from scientific evidence, it creates confusion, erodes trust in life-saving innovations, and makes it harder for families to access the care they need.
We should never let politics stand in the way of medical care. Especially when it comes to our kids.

President Trump inherited a strong labor market from President Biden.
Since his inauguration, average monthly job creation has fallen dramatically: from 122k/month in 2024 to 33k/month in 2025-26.

The difference in prize money for the men's vs women's TdF overall win...
Hear me out, I know the men do 21 stages and women do 9 stages, SO to put things into better perspective - that's roughly €23,800 per stage for the men and €5,555 per stage for the women.
So when you break it down, that's a gap of roughly €18,200 for each stage... not to mention that I'm quite sure the women would race more stages given the opportunity, so there's a long way to go for equality on this one🤔
What do you think?

Our president took away funds from Americans just because they live in a state that voted against him? That violates his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

Yesterday, @SenAdamSchiff took to the senate floor to lay bare the top ten schemes thorough which @POTUS and his family have made billions since he returned to office by exploiting in various ways the leverage of the White House.
Worth watching the whole, mind-blowing string.
