Trump flips out after appeals court blocks ballroom construction


Donald Trump reacted predictably after a panel of judges squashed the only thing he actually cares about these days — his stupid ballroom — and flipped out on social media. "Two Obama and Biden Appellate Court Judges just voted against the desperately needed Military Center!" raged Trump on Truth Social, who suddenly has changed his tune and is desperately trying to sell the ballroom as some sort of military installation to wriggle his way out of the ruling.

"Why didn't they bring this case long prior to construction starting? There will be no expense to the American Taxpayer. This unjust decision must be overturned by the Supreme Court in its entirety!" While the Supreme Court is sadly in Donald's pocket, it remains to be seen if they'll feel the need to get involved in something so patently petty. Let's hope they decide they have better things to do.

Lindsey Graham's death upends crucial South Carolina Senate race

Dr. Annie Andrews for Senate The abrupt death of Lindsey Graham has completely flipped the script on the race for control of the U.S. Senate. Instead of Dr. Annie Andrews facing down a 23-year-incumbent in Lindsey Graham, she’ll be facing a yet-unknown Republican chosen at the last minute. We need to strike while the iron’s hot and make sure Dr. Annie Andrews’ pro-family, pro-workers, pro-public healthcare message is heard by the people of South Carolina BEFORE dark-money billionaires and Republican Super PACs flood the airwaves with lies and misinformation. Andrews won’t take a dime of corporate PAC money, so she is going to need our help. Will you chip in to help help Annie flip the critical seat blue and take back the Senate for Democrats?


Samuel Alito bats down retirement rumors: "Obviously I'm here for another term"


Obviously, the idea of Samuel Alito remaining on the high court bench for yet another term is nauseating. But in truth, were Donald Trump able to successfully replace the 76-year-old right-wing zealot with a similarly radical jurist 25 years his junior before the upcoming midterms, it would actually be much, much worse.

Let's do everything in our power to muster a great, blue wave in November, flip the Senate for Democrats, and let a new reality dawn on Trump and his soon-to-be Republican minority.

Women made up 100 percent of jobs Trump cost the US in July


This is a cartoonishly depressing headline and sadly a perfect metaphor for Trump's calamitous second presidency. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July: Women lost 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000. Many of the jobs lost were in local government and leisure and hospitality — real jobs that real women, who are already dealing with slowed wages and rising inflation, work.

Meanwhile, a whopping 165,000 women exited the work force last month, meaning they were neither working nor looking for a new job. The number of men in the labor force remained steady.

There is nothing this dumpster fire of president can't sully, particularly if you don't happen to be a straight, white, conservative man.

Trump tries to save face after his nominee in Tennessee loses primary
Turns out Donald's "Complete and Total Endorsement" is neither complete nor total, as he quickly dumped the xenophobic gutter rat he previously endorsed — Rep. Andy Ogles — and embraced the man who beat him in last night's GOP primary for the 5th District US House seat in Tennessee.

Take Action: Chip in to help Chaz Molder flip Andy Ogles' old seat!
