The Guardian: Oklahoma superintendent who tried to put Trump Bibles in classrooms resigns

Miller says that MAGA's "enemies" can't understand the meaning or strength of the movement he now helps to spearhead.

But we understand all too well.

This kind of blood and soil rhetoric is far from new. It's woven into the historical record, as are its terrible consequences.

When leaders use this kind of language--the language of civilizational struggle, battles between light and dark, the cult of the warrior, fire and brimstone--the trajectory is always toward violent eliminationism.

Democrats are trying to stop health insurance costs to rise.

Let's explain what that means with an example:

If they are not successful, a 55-year-old couple earning $85,000/year will see their health insurance premium rise from $7,200/year to over $23,000/year.

So an AI chatbot, riddled with factual inaccuracies and engineered by a Nazi plutocrat to promote right wing disinformation, is being integrated into federal agencies’ decision-making processes.

Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool

Rep. Haley Stevens From Michigan’s 11th is a PATRIOT

🇺🇸

Mario Guevara, the only known journalist detained by ICE on U. S. soil, has been held since June 14. For The Bitter Southerner, he writes about his experiences of solitary confinement, protection rackets, and ICE's attempts to prevent his release. "Since July 10, 2025, all pending criminal charges against Guevara have been dismissed, yet he remains in detention. Guevara has committed no crime, had no criminal history prior to his June 14, 2025 arrest, and has no pending criminal charges against him now," write The Bitter Southerner team.

When a phantom foundation with no address, no registration and a founder who might not exist,
wires $100 million to the president's crypto company,
America has a problem.

When that payment arrives just weeks after Trump visits the UAE and announces "$200 billion in commercial deals,"
the problem becomes a national security crisis.

Yet, foreign policy experts continue to analyze regional threats while overlooking the elephant in the Oval Office
—Trump's corruption is the single greatest threat facing America today.

Trump’s UN speech in 22 seconds: “I’ve been right about everything… I’m really good at this stuff… your countries are going to hell… I have the highest poll numbers I’ve ever had (not true)…”

Kimmel should come out nude tonight, right?

Too Much Liquid

Ukrainian drone operators of the 412th Nemesis Regiment struck two Russian Tor-M2 air defense systems. One launcher was destroyed and another heavily damaged. The systems are worth an estimated $50 million.

Trump's brain is now incoherently flitting from topic to topic as the UN sits listening him to complete silence
