They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage.

To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.
SCOOP: White House officials, led by Susie Wiles, have told DOJ to delay any abortion-related action until after the midterms

Wiles suggested to Todd Blanche that an aggressive approach on abortion would be negative for the GOP in November

1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media

Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended

Wa Post buried it

A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it

They're opening 45 million acres of national forest to logging. The Forest Service says it'll bring in under $11 million a year.

That's the price to Trump for the last wild forests in America. Flood Congress now:

With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever!

Trump says the war is already won. Hegseth wants tens of billions more to keep fighting it.

Apparently, there is no limit on what Americans can be asked to spend on Trump’s war.

But helping those same Americans afford groceries or health care? Suddenly, every dollar is too much.

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Exactly one year since Trump started taxing Americans with his illegal tariffs:

Americans are paying more for less.

Inflation remains high.

Supply chains and partnerships are excluding America.
