By a Republican former member of Congress:
"Donald Trump is one of the most anti-American presidents we’ve ever had. He genuinely despises and resents the First Amendment and the fundamental principles of this country."

"Ossoff is doing something on the campaign trail that basically no one else in his party seems able to pull off: elegantly and comprehensively skewering the Trump administration, while earning some Republican support."

“The country is almost certainly dirtier, poorer, less prosperous, and in some ways less safe than in 2024. But that’s not because of Democrats or immigrants. It’s because of the people currently running the place.” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

Because of the shortage of crude oil and the damage the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine have inflicted on refineries that turn it into diesel and gasoline, market analysts are warning that fresh price shocks are about to hit motorists.
Tom Kloza, chief energy adviser for Gulf Oil, predicted on X that Wednesday would “see staggering increases at the pump for both gasoline & diesel.”

New photos obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal for the first time the widespread damage and destruction of buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East, as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks. The images were sent to CBS News by active service members on condition of anonymity.
"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," one deployed service member said. "We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face."

.@DavidCornDC’s new book “How Russia Won,” exposes Putin’s 10-year covert war against U.S., esp. aiding of Trump in elections & disinfo. In Trump’s 2nd term, gov’t offices tracking malign foreign influence & Russian disinfo have been shut down—coincidence?

It was *unanimous*.
If Trump pardons Black, it will piss off a lot of GOP MOCs, making Trump easier to impeach and remove.

“Key indicators of democracy in the US have fallen to their lowest levels in 50 yrs, with the global rule of law significantly undermined by the Trump administration’s ‘threats and actions’, data from a leading thinktank shows.” A disastrous Trump legacy.

BREAKING: Judge Cooper, again, says the Kennedy Center board can't put Trump's name on the building. Also, Cooper says they can't name it Trump Plaza.

ALT Upon consideration of the emergency motion, the Court concludes Representative Beatty has carried her burden of showing that at least two of the actions contemplated by the board resolution violate the permanent injunction. Defendants are hereby enjoined from inscribing 2 Case 1:25-cv-04480-CRC Document 77 Filed 09/15/26 Page 3 of 22 "renovated and restored by Donald J. Trump" on the main building or renaming the campus the "President Donald J. Trump Plaza." Simply put, Defendants cannot install memorials for President Trump or anyone or anything else at the Kennedy Center without Congress's blessing. The board resolution bucks a federal court order and a statute Congress enacted. Representative Beatty is thus entitled to enforcement of the Court's injunction, which reflects Congress's decision to memorialize President Kennedy, and no one else, at the Center bearing his name.
