Byron Donalds’ running mate, Bryan Avila, introduced a bill to shield the locations of proposed data centers from public view for one year. This is who the GOP is: They hide things until after the elections.

The president’s brain is broken. The Republicans who control our government refuse to do anything about it because they care more about their money and power than the nation’s safety.

Downtown Minneapolis police just teargassed counterprotestors and protected Jake Lang's convoy driving *on the sidewalk* in front of City Hall.

It cannot be repeated enough, law enforcement does NOT serve the people.

(🚨) NEW: The Full Harp-Trump Letters Are Worse Than You Think

🔗: sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-full-h...

WARNING: This lengthy report touches on some extremely upsetting—if urgent—topics. Reader discretion advised.

The Full Harp-Trump Letters Are Worse Than You Think
We still only have two complete letters from White House aide Natalie Harp to President Donald Trump—the man she calls her “Guardian” and “Protector, her “Alpha and Omega”—but they are horrifying.

The fact is that Trump added more debt than Biden, and Republican presidents have added more debt than Democrats.

More use of the emergency “shadow” docket and indefinite administrative stays to permit the status quo ante to continue, effectively granting Trump freedom to do what he wants. Shameful abdication by what should be a check upon the White House.
