The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections.

Trump has lost control of this war and his flailing in Ankara shows just how completely adrift he really is.

Two more Americans dead, one missing. The president must tell Congress why he’s gambling with the lives of U.S. service members.

When the president makes statements about the war, they are full of wishful thinking, hyperbole, and outright lies.
The public needs to demand the truth from Trump and Hegseth.

If American democracy fails, everything people here care about - Gaza, climate change, spelling reform, whatever - gets worse. (Just ask the people now dying in Africa.)
So prioritize your voting as if you're a reasoning, capable adult, and not a single-issue child holding your breath.1,082 267Jul 2, 2026 -

What Platner is doing right now is trying to ignite an intra-party nuclear exchange, so that he can tell the Maine Democrats that THE PEOPLE will not accept anything but him or his designated successor.
This is the kind of thing Trump would do.1,087 224Jul 8, 2026 -

Well, that was ....something. Article about to drop.
But that speech was not only bonkers, the documents prove, in some places, the OPPOSITE of what he's claiming.1,164 205Jul 17, 2026 -

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, just said we lost 200,000 people in Vietnam.
This is profound stupidity, and one more indication of why he's an incompetent Commander in Chief.890 166Jul 23, 2026 -

Honestly, I've been scathingly critical of court-packing. Still think it's dangerous. But this court is the best argument for it in a century.

The U.S. and Russia have lost four wars over the past 60 years, despite their nuclear arsenals. What do nuclear weapons buy besides the important function of strategic deterrence? Nothing. Maybe we need to rediscover this truth.

If Israel is your most important issue in this election, you're not really all that worried about American democracy.

The fact that Platner hasn't quit yet should tell you that this is not gonna go well.

An ungracious, narcissistic, bitter exit, which he begins by saying that the allegations against him are completely false - in effect calling his accusers liars - followed by ten more minutes of Trump-like paranoia about "them"
Good luck getting this guy and his people on board against Collins.656 113Jul 9, 2026 -

Platner has royally screwed his party and his state. He should get no right to dictate anything other than a letter of apology in which he withdraws from the race and then leaves public life.

"We are adults who respect the rule of law and the Constitution, can run the country and will get you back to work in good-paying jobs while bringing down prices and trying to make life affordable. Also we are not far-left lunatics."

"He entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night in late 2021, deeply intoxicated, and forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop. She said she cut off contact with him after telling him the encounter was not consensual."
Well, this is worse than a tattoo, I grant you.688 96Jul 6, 2026 -

77 million people took him seriously the last time. Don't sleep on the possibility that he's trying to set up the predicate for interfering in November - and trying to get just enough people on his side to make that work
