Trump Rallied For Him. Now He’s Sitting In A Jail Cell.
Plus: a judge caught the EPA changing one word to gut clean air law, and a Boston courtroom is standing between this regime and your mail ballot

Yes, but our choice is authoritarianism, or democrats. We must choose the latter. No matter what. We can argue about the rest later. No candidate is perfect. We do not have time for purity tests. This is not a marriage. Just get on the bus that takes you the closest to your destination. #ProudBlue

In June, the FBI quietly lowered standards for background checks on would-be agents and personnel to facilitate hiring, even if candidates acknowledged they engaged in prostitution, bestiality, or employee theft.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

BREAKING: In a victory for the White House, the Supreme Court allowed Trump's sweeping attack on mail voting to go forward, bringing him one step closer to implementing the order before the midterms.
While the decision lifted a block that applied to some states, a nationwide block still remains.

Agreed. A much under appreciated show and actor.
Also, it’s hard to think of another actor who’s aged better, both in terms of what he chooses to do and how he does it, than Nic Cage.

Hakeem Schumer and Chuck Jeffries would rather Democrats lose to Trump forever than lose their control over the Democratic party. They work only for their billionaire donors. They both must be fired and replaced.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. He’s telling us he is into young girls. In other words, a pedophile. Believe him.
An old man repeatedly saying “young beautiful girls” is a sentence that should make everybody’s skin crawl.

Hopefully, his idiotic statement will be hung around the neck of every single Republicon like an albatross.
🚨Holy shit. Donald Trump just ruined any chance for Republicans to win the midterms.
“TRUMP: “I don't want to hear about affordability.”
That quote should haunt Republicans all the way to Election Day.

The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending in the first place.
Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not.
