• Trump just lost his battle to force a university to release its “list of Jews”

  Things like this have happened before… Ostensibly, the University of Pennsylvania’s leadership refused to submit and cower to the Trump administration’s threats of withholding government grants and other funding if it did not twist to its will. The Trump regime argued it needed the lists to interview primarily Jewish faculty in documenting supposed antisemitic comments and actions on the campus in order to “protect” Jewish people and organizations. The government claimed that Penn’s res...

• GOP midterm strategy: Make it a "hate election"

  Republicans admit the GOP’s midterm forecast is bleak. But they’re clinging to two hopes: voters’ fear and loathing of Democrats. “It’s going to be a hate election,” a Republican tied to President Trump’s political operation told Axios. “Voters have to hate the Dems more than they hate us. And we have material to work with.” Why it matters: There’s broad GOP frustration that Trump has made challenging midterm elections worse by not focusing heavily on pocketbook issues — especially the t...

• Trump Admin Argues Even Terminally Ill Patients Shouldn't Be Exempt From Medicaid Work Requirements | Common Dreams

  A federal judge on Thursday denied a request by more than two dozen Democratic states to halt a Trump administration policy announced last month that would require Medicaid recipients with terminal diseases to prove they are too sick to work in order to be exempt from new work requirements that go into effect this coming January. While introducing over $1 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% of Americans, last year’s massive GOP tax and budget bill also imposed new 80-hour-per-month wo...

• Gen Z adults are staying away from churches because of Trump - LGBTQ Nation

  What the poll results do say is that Christianity in the U.S. is suffering because it doesn’t speak to the lives of most younger Americans. Mainstream Protestant denominations are shrinking as evangelicalism takes over. Right-wing Christians have effectively told the nation that theirs is the only kind of Christianity, and that is not a selling point for would-be followers. “Christianity has a really bad PR problem,” Liz Bucar, a religion professor at Northeastern University, told Northeaste...

  I’m the same way. I buy like 7 or 8 of the 35 packs from Costco. When I get my own place, I plan to buy a coke soda fountain like they have at restraints and sruff. I figure its cheaper in the long run, and irs probably better for the environment.

• Trump's Michigan speech interrupted by "pedophile protector" chants

  President Donald Trump’s appearance in Michigan was interrupted by chants of “pedophile protector” from a protester on Monday. Videos shared on social media show Trump speaking in Milford while the protester or protesters repeatedly shouted the phrase during his remarks, briefly disrupting the event before the president continued speaking. The chants come as pressure has mounted from critics and some lawmakers for the release of additional documents related to the late convicted sex offender...

• Transcript: Angry Trump Urges GOP to Rig Midterms as Polls Turn Brutal

  As a striking Fox News poll suggests the GOP midterm position is deteriorating, a voting rights expert walks us through what Trump is really gearing up to attempt this fall—and how to defeat it. Donald Trump exploded at Senate GOP leader John Thune during a Wednesday rally, demanding that Republicans pass voter suppression legislation immediately. This prompted an angry response from Thune, which in turn triggered MAGA rage in response. It’s no accident that this comes amid new polls showin...

• One word that shows how much damage the Epstein scandal has done to Trump

  President Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt had a one-word answer about whether the White House would intervene in the UK extradition case against the former manosphere Maga heroes, Andrew and Tristan Tate. “No.” These two letters spell out the extent to which Trump’s reputation has been damaged by his association with the late paedophile Jeffery Epstein. The President can’t afford to spend his depleted political capital defending a pair of alleged sex abusers. My one wo...

• MAGA Aide Accused of Trying to Bring Drugs Into Senate

  Heritage Foundation staffer was stopped from entering a Senate office building after authorities say they found ammunition and suspected drugs in his briefcase. Matthew Christopher Wingate was detained by Capitol Police on July 14 after allegedly attempting to pass through security at the Russell Senate Office Building. According to court records obtained by NOTUS, an X-ray scan of his bag revealed what appeared to be a pistol magazine, prompting officers to carry out a further search....

• Taylor Farms Called White House to Try to Delay Cyclospora Recall

  Officials became convinced by FDA’s findings, and gave the agency the green light to make them public Representatives for produce giant Taylor Farms contacted the White House with an urgent plea: the company wanted to delay announcing a recall tied to one of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history.

  Not to be a nitpicker, but its “hanged” not “hung”. Hung is the past tense of hanging something up (Jimmy went and hung up his coat). The past tense of the execution is hanged (Jimmy was hanged at dawn in town square).

• Trump announces re-election bid in rambling address to Washington media

  Donald Trump has announced he will run for president in 2028 during a rambling speech to the Washington press corps. Trump was speaking at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when he appeared to make the announcement. I won three times, now I’m gonna do it again,” he said, while putting on a cap that read “Trump 2028″. “I’m gonna do it again. It should be easy.” He went on to add that he won in 2020 but the election was rigged. The 80-year-old was met with a sm...

• Trump will declare a ‘national emergency’ before midterms: Bannon

  Donald Trump’s campaign strategist for his 2016 election win says: “I believe we will have a national emergency declared by late August,” ahead of the Congressional midterm elections due on November 3. “You will have enough evidence by mid-August to show that we have a massive problem” of election fraud, he tells me in an interview. Trump’s televised address to the nation on Thursday last week was the beginning of the process, he says. The president declassified documents, which he claimed s...

• Trump Invents the Corporate Pardon

  “Corporations are people, my friend,” Mitt Romney famously said in 2011 while running for president. The Supreme Court decided the previous year that corporations could give money to political campaigns, just like people, and in 2014, the high court gave corporations religious freedom to deny contraceptives to employees, thereby letting them behave just as badly as people. If you prick corporations, do they not bleed? Actually no, they don’t. But as of now, they can get presidential pardons....

• Senator Calls for Mamdani to Be Arrested and Sent to Guantanamo

  Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be arrested and sent to the infamous American torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. Mamdani’s crime? Calling indicted alleged war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an “architect of genocide,” responsible for a series of atrocities in the ongoing war on Gaza. “Sooner or later,” Mamdani will “do something more stupid than what he’s done, where we will finally say enough is enough, go put the handcuffs on him … and send him to...

• Elon Musk says he ‘got carried away’ with DOGE and Trump after gutting the government

  Elon Musk admits he “got carried away” working inside Donald Trump’s administration as the unelected director of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, where he implemented mass firings and radically cut federal spending. “I think I got a little too involved in politics. I got carried away, frankly,” he told The Economist in a wide-ranging interview published Thursday, but offered few specifics on what he regretted. But the world’s wealthiest man — who pumped millions of doll...

• RFK Jr. Now Faces Salmonella Outbreak (on Top of Explosive Diarrhea)

  Midwest Poultry Services is recalling close to 1.6 million white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs produced in Texas, the Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday. The eggs in question have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella enteritidis, and were being sold at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, as well as Brookshire Grocery stores in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico. The company has stopped distributing eggs produced on its Texas farms, accordi...

• Trump Imposes Massively Harmful and Illegal Section 301 Tariffs

  If, somehow, Section 301 does authorize this action, it would violate the constitutional nondelegation doctrine, which limits delegation of legislative power to the executive. Tariffs are a specifically enumerated congressional power. While the Supreme Court’s nondelegation precedent is far from completely clear, last year’s decision in FCC v. Consumers’ Research held that delegations of the power to impose taxes and other financial levies must have a clear “floor” and “ceiling” and that “[t]he...

• Trump wants to deny healthcare to impoverished cancer patients. Welcome to the great American cruelty regime

  Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Mehmet Oz, speaks before US Vice President JD Vance delivers remarks on the administration’s work to combat fraud in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 8, 2026. Photo by Mark Schiefelbein / POOL / AFP via Getty Images A few weeks ago, we argued the Trump administration was seeking to invent new ways to punish Americans. The idea was that the authoritarian impulses of the MAGA-run government will need to dial up the cruelty in order to sow chaos and pave the way...

• GOP lawmaker arrested after allegedly sexually abusing a middle schooler in a classroom

  Pritt was initially elected to the state House as a Democrat in 2022 but changed his political affiliation to Republican the year after. Republican Party chair Elgine McArdle said in a statement that Pritt had realized that the “Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party that our parents grew up with.” State Republicans have filed numerous bills seeking to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender minors, ban trans student-athletes from playing on sports teams that match thei...

• Judge rejects Trump administration bid to dismiss transgender Air Force troops’ retirement lawsuit

  The plaintiffs allege that after Trump’s 2025 executive order targeting transgender military service, the Air Force invited troops with 15 to 18 years of service to apply for early retirement under the Temporary Early Retirement Authority. Their requests were approved, and official retirement orders were issued with retirement dates in the fall of 2025. Weeks later, after new Pentagon leadership took over implementation of the policy, those orders were rescinded and replaced with offers of volun...

• Shocking 105 million Americans are not working – more than during COVID or the Great Recession

  With AI becoming increasingly integrated into “white-collar” industries, raising fears of mass job cuts, there have been calls to bring in a so-called universal basic income, or UBI — which pays people for merely existing. However, Eberstadt warns that this would only worsen the number of dropouts in American society. “Disruptive technologies in the past have been really great for people who have had skills,” he said. “Their productivity and incomes have gone up a lot. “They’ve also...

• Pete Hegseth's pastor says the punishment for being gay in the "ideal world" is execution - LGBTQ Nation

  In his first interview with an LGBTQ publication, Wilson talks about his connections to Hegseth and others in the Trump administration. He estimates that 10 to 20 people in the government are aligned with his radical ideology. He explains that he thinks trans people are “sad,” certain elements of his idea of “homosexual behavior” should be punishable by execution, and in certain cases of marital rape, both parties should be disciplined.

• Halo Act: Kansas law bars approaching local, federal officers within 25 feet

  A Kansas state law barring anyone from being within 25 feet of first responders engaged in their duties is coming under fire from some free-speech advocates, who say the bill violates the First Amendment and would be harmful as federal immigration raids continue throughout the state and country. The Halo Act, which became law effective July 1 after the Republican-led Kansas legislature overrode the Democratic governor’s veto of the bill, makes it a misdemeanor for civilians to approach loca...

• US greenlights Saudi nuclear enrichment without safeguards: Report

  The Trump administration has greenlit Saudi Arabia’s nuclear enrichment project, but with no safeguards in place to prevent the development of a bomb, CNN reported on Friday. The draft deal, viewed by the news outlet, showed Washington’s support for Riyadh’s civilian nuclear programme is still awaiting President Donald Trump’s signature, despite US-Saudi negotiations concluding in October. Unnamed officials cited in the story indicated that the documents, which include the mandatory “123...

• Trump candidate rages against marriage equality while calling LGBTQ+ people an "existential threat" - LGBTQ Nation

  “One thing you need to understand about the LGBT movement is they don’t reproduce. They recruit,” Helfenbein said as O’Donnell agreed. “And they’re going to take your children from you.” In April 2025, he also complained that LGBTQ+ people had “co-opted” the rainbow and said that they need to “figure out a way to take those things back,” setting up an adversarial position with the community, saying “It is an us-versus-them thing.” In earlier tweets, O’Donnell also provided support for Pr...

• Bernie and AOC Are Taking On AI. Only One of Them Is Doing It Right.

  In December 2025, Senator Bernie Sanders became the first member of Congress to demand a moratorium on the construction of new AI data centers. The costs of the infrastructure that powers generative AI technologies like chatbots and image generators were soaring, but it was not clear that regular people were seeing much benefit. The ban was necessary, Sanders argued, to give “democracy a chance to catch up.” Sanders could have also said that politicians needed to catch up to the public. Rece...

• Republicans want to end birthright citizenship in US territories

  The End Birthright Citizenship for Territories Act, introduced by Representative Morgan Griffith, a Virginia Republican, would amend federal laws that grant U.S. citizenship at birth to people born in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. The legislation would limit those provisions to people born before January 1, 2027, effectively ending automatic citizenship for future births unless at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident....
