As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

My take as a Californian is that we, the world’s fifth largest economy, should refuse to do any business with red states. They need our technology, agriculture, and ports more than we need anything from them. They vilify us, vote against our views, then take our money. To hell with them.

it's about fucking time, if the Dems had gone after Trump immediately after the insurrection hammer and tongs along with any possibly still patriotic Republicans we might've been able to avoid the whole mess we're in now.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

MAGA will embrace white supremacy, cruelty, racism, bigotry, misogyny and the rest...but even they need to eat and pay their bills.

Trump is screwing the economy and we're about to be in the shitter.

Maybe they can sustain themselves on hate but...for how long?

The party that hid racism and misogyny behind “state’s rights” for decades now has control of every branch of the federal government. They’re waging war on states in the name of racism and misogyny and laughing at the whole idea of state’s rights.

white supremacist 🔥 Trump runs an overwhelmingly white administration—and he’s firing the few Black officials in it. In 200 days, only 2 of 98 top jobs went to Black leaders. This is exclusion, plain and simple. #TrumpWatch #Resist #RepresentationMatters #BlackSky www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...
