For the 40,000 active duty Marines based in San Diego, or the 4 million people in Los Angeles, Trump does not just owe them an apoligy.
He owes them a resignation.
His ship has sailed. Trump no longer even pretends to care about America.

In one month from now Trump will be openly seeking to overturn the Nov 3 results. We all know that is coming. That is why Democratic AGs should announce now that if anyone tries to interfere in their election--including Trump-they will prosecute under state law. Trump can't pardon state crimes!

This is why we need leaders who understand what everyday people go through.

My fellow Americans: Are you burning out fast from all the political campaign ads, mailers, calls and/or texts you're getting ahead of the midterm elections?

Tell me about it, and if you can, send pics of the mailers/messages you're drowning in.

Very nice.
A friend sent me this blog post (she is not the author) about cavassing in elections, the joys, the heartache, and the challenges. It's really wonderful. @seedthevote.bsky.social suegranzellateacher.substack.com/p/discomfort...

Working people are more experienced with “the real world” than any billionaire or rich CEO. And we know that shit’s too expensive across the country.

We need elected leaders who understand what workers experience every day. We need pro-worker candidates like @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social!

"The national media loves itself some good intraparty conflict. Stories about the Republican “fever breaking,” egged on by Democratic leaders, have been a perennial since before Donald Trump descended the golden escalator. Now, with less than 40 days to an election ......"
There is no Republican "split" with Trump. It's catnip for access media, but the desperate ploy to align with the supermajority of voters who can't stand the president is tissue-thin. The same people saying the Iran war needs to end voted yesterday to keep it going.

Donald Trump is a sick person. You almost feel you can't hold him fully responsible for his deep psychological deformities. I have more contempt for his aides, who, in humoring him, feed his illness and encourage him to do both symbolic and real damage to the nation.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville calls Social Security a scam and the "single largest program we're wasting our tax dollars on."

Tell that to the millions of Americans who paid into Social Security for decades and rely on he benefits they earned to pay for groceries, housing, and gas.

Wait… so Mark Walter and the Guggenheim group unload the Lakers to a Trump family member - Josh Kushner last seen two weeks ago failing to stripmine FIFA. - and Walter & Guggenheim are under a mammoth DOJ and SEC investigation? Watch that “investigation” disappear. This country is being looted.

Google's statement that it includes a watermark that can identify them as AI-generated is completely braindead as to how disinformation works. You think people spending literally three seconds to derail a discussion give a shit about that? This is so easy to abuse www.404media.co/google-earth...
