\u2014 Trump has figured out a way to grift off the plight of immigrant kids. <\/strong>A Texas law firm with virtually no immigration experience, but multiple people close to Trump or accused of being open racists, just got a $150 million sole-source contract to replace the public defenders defending kids being held in Trump\u2019s concentration camps for brown-skinned people. Meanwhile, ICE says that, sure, they\u2019ll wear body cameras when they beat up and murder people, but they\u2019ll only share those videos when they make them look good. Don\u2019t expect to see any released that actually show criminal activity by armed, masked ICE thugs. Sounds over the top? Here\u2019s their exact language: they\u2019ll only release body camera footage when \u201cit is in the best interests of the agency.\u201d Trump has built his SA\/SS force of violent, unaccountable modern-day Klan members to intimidate and even kill anybody who dares defy this regime, and it\u2019s not about to start following the law or even behaving morally any time soon.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Trumponomics is even worse than Hoovernomics or Reaganomics. <\/strong>Since he fired his statistics person at the Bureau of Labor Statistics and replaced her with a hand-picked toady, the numbers have been looking weird. For example, the regime reported 57,000 new jobs in May, then later quietly revised that down to 20,000 (although the headlines of 57,000 are still out there); they reported 129,000 new jobs for June, then quietly revised that down to 63,000 (ditto on the headlines). And this week we found that instead of the anticipated creation of 80,000 new jobs, the American economy actually lost <\/em>23,000 jobs last month (and expect that number to get worse when they \u201crevise\u201d it in 2 months). No matter how hard they try, they can\u2019t keep Americans from noticing that housing, groceries, gas, transportation, drugs, medicine, and pretty much everything else are more expensive while billionaires and the Trump Crime Family get richer and Republicans continue to refuse to allow an increase in the minimum wage or the right to unionize. Eventually, reality catches up with politics, no matter how fast and furious Trump and his lickspittles try to keep us distracted or hating on each other, and hopefully it\u2019s going to catch up in a big way this November.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Over at <\/strong>Montana Dispatch<\/strong><\/em>, Ryan Busse lays out the five Big Lies Republicans are using to steal our public lands.<\/strong> Utah\u2019s Republican Senator Mike Lee, for example, recently lied to his constituents that the Bear\u2019s Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante national monuments President Obama designated were brought into being no public comment or input when, in fact, over 2.7 million people weighed in during the comment period. Another Big Lie is that we must let drilling companies exploit our public lands to become \u201cenergy independent,\u201d a designation we reached during the Obama years. They\u2019re also trying to tell us that the way to prevent forest fires isn\u2019t to cut back on climate-change-causing CO2 from burning fossil fuels but, instead, to log those trees and leave behind nude wastelands (which actually catch on fire even more easily, because all the wood debris there is dead). Trump \u2014 who\u2019s probably never walked through an old-growth forest in his life \u2014 tried pitching the lie that people can\u2019t and don\u2019t use our public lands for recreation like camping and fishing. And they try to tell us that we\u2019re not subsidizing the oil and cattle industries with our public lands when in fact we\u2019re handing them the equivalent of billions of dollars every year. Hopefully one of these days there\u2019ll be a cost to these Republicans for the continuous streams of lies they keep pouring out on dozens of topics.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Trump has figured out a new grift to let his oil company donors profit from his drawing down the National Oil Reserve. <\/strong>Here\u2019s how it works. Normally, when we release oil from the strategic reserve we sell it on the open market at market prices. That would mean that the oil Trump\u2019s releasing would go for around $100 a barrel, paid by the oil companies. When the oil shortage is over, the government would go onto the public market and buy the oil back for, say, $50 a barrel and refill the reserve. It actually makes a profit for the government. But what Trump\u2019s doing is \u201cloaning\u201d our oil to the oil companies at no charge. They then sell it for $100 barrel and when it\u2019s time to \u201creturn\u201d the oil to the reserve they\u2019ll buy it on the market at $50 a barrel (or however low it goes when the crisis is over). The entire profit \u2014 quite literally hundreds of millions of dollars \u2014 instead of going to us taxpayers, goes to the oil companies who funded Trump\u2019s campaign for president. Lever News has the entire sordid story broken down on their site in an article by Freddy Brewster.<\/p>\n

\u2014 America\u2019s oligarchs and the Republican Party they own know how to hold onto potentially wayward members of Congress. <\/strong>People are scratching their heads in wonderment; after Trump trashed Bill Cassidy, John Cornyn, and Thom Tillis to the point that all three are leaving Congress at the end of the year, all three ended up voting for Todd Blanche to continue the Epstein coverup and give Trump the $100 million the IRS has been trying to collect from him for over a decade for his Chicago Trump Tower tax fraud. Why? former senators can be extraordinarily valuable to lobbying\/government-relations firms because of their personal relationships with senators, senior staff, committee personnel, administration officials, donors and corporate leaders. Their intimate knowledge of how the Senate actually operates and the prestige\/access associated with having been a senator are worth serious money: former senators often start at $5 million a year. <\/strong>But if their colleagues shun them because they\u2019re afraid of retribution from Trump, that value vanishes. Do the math\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2014 The solar industry claims a scalp. <\/strong>Two, it turns out, can play at this game: a new political action committee (Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC<\/em>) formed and funded by solar industry executives ran ads against Tennessee\u2019s toxic MAGA congressman Andy Ogles, and then beat him in the primary, replacing him with a Republican who\u2019s favorable to solar power. Now that five corrupt, on-the-take Republicans on the Supreme Court have ruled that our elections and politicians are for sale, the auctions have begun! <\/p>\n

\u2014 Is Israel using rape, electric shocks, and beatings to discourage activists from bringing food and medicine to Gaza? <\/strong>It sure looks that way, according to The New York Times<\/em>, reporting \u201cnumerous reports of physical abuse\u201d as well as \u201cdeeply disturbing accounts of sexual humiliation and degrading treatment carried out by Israeli forces.\u201d Israel\u2019s openly racist national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir even strutted around with the captives, making a degrading video that was so abusive and offensive that even US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, a total suck-up to Benjamin Netanyahu, called Mr. Ben-Gvir\u2019s actions \u201cdespicable,\u201d adding that he had \u201cbetrayed the dignity of his nation.\u201d It\u2019s time to end American financial support of this rogue regime that\u2019s giving antisemites more than enough raw material to use in their rants against Jews and thus putting people at risk worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Is that a squirrel on Trump\u2019s head? <\/strong>The guy\u2019s been totally bald on top for decades, as his daughter told us years ago, and his comb-over has been getting thinner and thinner. So apparently he\u2019s taken to either hair extensions or a wig. The media is having a field day with it, with headlines like: Trump\u2019s Suddenly Thick Hair Raises Eyebrows<\/em> and Wild three days of \u2018wig\u2019 transformations<\/em>. When I was a teenager working as a progressive rock DJ in Lansing, on a couple of occasions I DJ\u2019d drag shows at a local gay bar. In the wig and makeup departments, Trump nearly beats some of the drag queens I knew\u2026<\/p>\n
