AlterNet Crooks and Liars Daily Kos (Note: these articles are from RSS News Feeds websites, and are deleted after 30 days, July 28, 2026 at 1:47 PM EDT Republicans and Donald Trump will do ANYTHING to cheat in the midterm elections (99 days from today!). Their latest dirty trick is to try to have the Supreme Court allow them to limit mail-in voting through the secretive "shadow docket." For those unaware, the Shadow Docket is a fast-track way to have an emergency ruled on without hearings. It handles "urgent" requests, like stays of execution, emergency injunctions and administrative stays. There are no oral arguments (ie, the other side doesn't get to present); cases are decided literally behind closed doors without public hearings. The justices review short written arguments, and often the decision is made in a brief and unsigned ruling. July 28, 2026 at 1:01 PM EDT CNN's Kaitlan Collins just gave Donald Trump a cold, hard, and deeply poised lesson on how to behave like a real grown-up, as opposed to a petulant, whiny toddler. On Friday, during his hour-long spew of hot air at his White House Correspondents' Dinner 2.0, Donald Trump launched a particularly vicious attack against Collins, taking a pointed aim at an award she received earlier in the evening for her extensive coverage of the Trump White House and going so far as to compare her to trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney in an especially disgusting light, both towards Collins and Mulvaney. July 28, 2026 at 11:55 AM EDT No matter what lie Trump administration officials or Republican members of Congress tell, Fox Business and CNBC hosts readily agree with those lies to cover up Trump's horrific tenure as president and then congratulate the liars telling them. Case in point. July 28, 2026 at 11:07 AM EDT South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham's very sudden and unexpected passing has apparently reminded Donald Trump that he could also drop dead at a moment's notice, and he's not coping particularly well with the idea. Graham, who was only 71, nearly a full decade younger than Donald Trump, died very suddenly this month due to aortic dissection stemming from arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and according to inside sources as well as the President himself, Trump has been left feeling quite rattled with existential dread. July 28, 2026 at 9:53 AM EDT John Oliver's Last Week Tonight took almost the entirety of Sunday's program to expose incredible corruption that is the Trump family's crypto business. I haven't taken the time myself to look up his World Liberty company, but the pay-to-play nature is downright criminal. July 28, 2026 at 8:59 AM EDT What was touted as an official White House speech on the economy turned out to be, unsurprisingly, a meandering hour-long rant in Michigan on Monday. At one point, he asked attendees which nickname they preferred for him to use for Joe Biden. "Sleepy Joe Biden or Crooked Joe Biden? Let's go," he said. Speaking to autoworkers at GM's Milford Proving Ground, Trump compared himself favorably to the crowd's own parents -- insisting he's done more for them than the people who raised them, while graciously conceding their parents are "okay" and he wasn't going to knock them. July 28, 2026 at 8:28 AM EDT Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn was recently defeated in May's GOP primary by his Trump-endorsed opponent, Ken Paxton. With his days now officially numbered, Cornyn has publicly made it crystal clear that he has nothing left to lose, and he's coming for the big guy in the Oval Office with his "newfound political freedom" in tow. Punchbowl News reports on Cornyn's new plan to extract as many concessions from the Trump White House as possible before essentially blowing up what's left on his way out the door. July 27, 2026 at 9:17 PM EDT I'm sure you've heard the name Jimothy somewhere and probably weren't sure what the heck that meant. John Oliver did a fun segment on him Sunday. July 27, 2026 at 6:32 PM EDT President Donald Trump is using powers enabled by a recent Supreme Court decision to force thousands out of jobs, and it's the elderly who could face "dire consequences" of his actions. Last month, the court ruled in Mullin v. Doe that federal law bars judges from reviewing presidential decisions on Temporary Protected Status -- meaning no court can stop Trump from terminating it, according to CBS News. July 27, 2026 at 6:32 PM EDT President Donald Trump's voters are foreshadowing a midterm calamity for Republicans after their election lifeline was rejected by his base. A new Politico poll conducted in July by the independent firm Public First found nearly half of Americans cannot explain the One Big Beautiful Bill Act -- Trump's signature tax law. July 27, 2026 at 4:36 PM EDT Turns out confirming a Fox News host to run the Pentagon has consequences. Senate Republicans -- including the ones who voted for him -- are reportedly losing patience with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as the Iran war rolls on with no exit in sight and his purge of military leadership keeps raising eyebrows. The gripes: nobody in the administration seems to have seen the Strait of Hormuz shutdown coming, gas prices have spiked as a result, and Iran's strikes on Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia -- plus Houthi attacks in the Red Sea -- apparently caught the Pentagon flat-footed, too, The Hill reports. July 27, 2026 at 4:36 PM EDT Asked about the midterms by Lara Trump over the weekend, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reached for the same talking point the administration has been running for months: none of this is Trump's fault. The affordability crisis, she insisted, belongs entirely to Biden and Democrats -- Trump merely inherited it and started fixing it his very first day in office. Her prescription for the next two years is more of the same: a Republican Congress to keep "fixing" a crisis that, well into his his second term, is somehow still someone else's doing. |
