Let’s give credit where credit is due: when it comes to lying, no one beats Trump‘s chutzpah!

Trump: I inherited the worst inflation in history from Biden Fact check: When Biden left office, inflation was 3.0%. Today, it’s 3.5%.

americans’ opposition to the war in iran isn’t selfishness. it isn’t a lack of patriotism. it’s distrust in leadership.

It's also a probable war crime

President Trump’s threat to destroy civilian infrastructure—like bridges and power plants—is a textbook example of failed coercion History shows this failed in Vietnam It will not force Iran into submission Escalation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy

Trump is pursuing this war in the HOPE that Iran carries out an act of terror in the US. And even if it doesn’t, which I doubt it will, consider the possibility that Trump's people would fake one. Please consider this essay, written back in March, as well as the last few lessons of "On Tyranny." snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire-f…

The Trump-Vance administration wants us to celebrate inflation rates that are *higher* than when they came into office. They promised to lower costs and keep us out of war, then did the opposite.

"Mail in ballots are inherently corrupt," says the president who has routinely voted by mail in ballot.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."

Undermining trust in the justice and electoral systems, denigrating the media, targeting rivals. I’ve seen this playbook before in Putin’s Russia in the early 2000s. America’s democratic institutions may be stronger, but we should never take them—or our rights—for granted.

Tonight, America watched the ramblings of a mad king. Donald Trump’s address was not about the last election — it was THIS one. Before a single vote has been cast, he’s already laying the groundwork to rig this election and convince YOU not to trust the results if they don’t go his way. This is what authoritarians do. Don’t fall for it. Organize. Mobilize. SHOW UP and VOTE in November!

"If there is one person who committed election fraud in Georgia, it is Donald Trump" - @ossoff

America, this is a test -- what do you do when the president of the United States is on TV and he sounds like he's reading the script of the conspiracy theory guy in the movie Conspiracy Theory?

Isn’t it weird that Trump’s speech never mentioned Russia – probably the single biggest perpetrator of election influence?

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/07/…

The documents are so damning in refuting Trump's own case that I wonder if anyone in the White House actually read them (or understood what they were looking at)

Trump released documents that confirm Russia tried to interfere in the 2020 election to hurt Biden. It says Russia tried to "orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal" and push narratives about "voter fraud resulting from mail-in balloting"

Trump, you lost the 2020 election. If the election was rigged, it was rigged by your administration as your administration was in charge leading up to, during and after the election. There was no foreign interference. There was no fraud. The election was not stolen. You lost old man. I would say deal with it, but that would require a level of emotional maturity you obviously lack.

if president trump believes china has interfered in us elections, would be very important to watch what actions the united states will take against china in response. would be. if president trump actually believes that.

Does anyone believe that the guy who called the Georgian officials in 2020 to find more votes for him after he had lost the election actually has any commitment to free and fair elections? Cmon man.

Rep. Seth Magaziner: "ICE agents shot and killed two more innocent people in broad daylight. In both cases, the people they killed weren't even the people they were looking for. In both cases, they shot and killed people who were on their way to work in front of their families."

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost: • USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose. • According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children. • Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths. • USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history. • Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed. • 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion. • 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months. • $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated. • 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed. • Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people. • American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.
