| second: Right-wing media figures including Steve Bannon, John Solomon, and Cleta Mitchell are weaving together a narrative about interference by China in US elections to justify a national emergency to curtail voting rights. Whether this harebrained plot congeals into an active conspiracy to subvert the midterms remains to be seen, but given that Trump has already tried to overturn one election on January 6, 2021, it would be a mistake not to take these rumblings seriously. There may indeed be an emergency. It’s just not the one that Bannon and company are talking about. [go to link] |

| second: I knew about this a year ago, but Trump, in a July 2 interview with CNBC, said he was unaware of the crypto investments before the release of his 2025 financial disclosure that showed the president brought in $2.2 billion in 2025, with the bulk coming from $1.4 billion through the crypto industry.
That includes nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial, a company his sons Eric, Donald Jr. and Barron Trump co-founded, and $635 million from the sale of his $TRUMP meme coins.
"By the way, I could know about it. I didn't. I mean, there's nothing illegal, there's nothing wrong with it. I could know," Trump said when asked whether he knew about the crypto ventures. [go to link] |

| 6ixStringJack: Mark Zandi. Hails from Iran. Fuck Mark Zandi. |
| second: The cost of the Iran conflict.
Moody’s economist Mark Zandi says the Iran war has already cost the typical U.S. household about $1,000 through higher gas, diesel, airfare, groceries, military spending, and borrowing costs. He argues the bill is still rising and could be even higher than his estimate:

| 6ixStringJack: Fuck Phillips O'Brien, and Fuck You, Second. |
| second: Only two reasons why Trump wants such a list:
The first is that it would be so valuable that members of the administration could sell it for many, many billions of dollars to foreign states. Imagine how much money the Chinese would pay to know all US intelligence assets in China? Tens of billions, hundreds of billions?
The second is that the US Government is now being heavily influenced by agents of a foreign state that is desperately fighting a war that it is now losing, and is looking for anything it can get to help itself. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Grow up, faggot. |
| second: The Trump administration actually wants a master list accumulated by US intelligence agencies of all foreign sources supplying information to help the US government. Many of these sources have risked their lives, and their families’ lives, to help America, and their identities need to be protected. There is a reason that such a list has never been collected before: [go to link] |
| second: Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income from his family’s crypto ventures last year, showing how Trump now derives most of his income from ?digital assets that have benefited from his policies. [go to link] |
| second: Observers are noting that the reflecting pool fiasco, in which Trump created the idea there was an emergency, ignored experts, bypassed normal procedures to give a wildly inflated contract to a crony, bragged about his success, ignored the problems, claimed his enemies had sabotaged him, and finally stationed troops around the landmark he had turned into a swamp, represents the Trump administration perfectly.

| 6ixStringJack: They're all leaving, Second. Every single invader and their kids. |
| second: There is no question in US law that is more clearly and firmly settled than the question of whether people born in the United States are citizens of this country. The Fourteenth Amendment states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”
“All persons” means ALL persons.
And yet, the decision upholding birthright citizenship, known as Trump v. Barbara, was only 5 to 4 , a shocking near-miss that leaves the door open to further challenges if future appointees pull the Supreme Court to the right. [go to link] |
| second: The Supreme Court just came one vote away from a constitutional catastrophe.
The 5-4 vote in the birthright citizenship case is a warning that all of US law is in terrible danger. [go to link] |
| second: White House officials last year secretly awarded a no-bid contract worth up to $500 million for the construction of the East Wing ballroom in an unusual arrangement that sidestepped typical contracting procedures designed to control costs. The estimated East Wing construction cost has tripled, with half expected to come from taxpayers. Trump has repeatedly claimed that the ballroom would be paid for by private donors and once said that Clark executives offered to build it for free. “They said: ‘Sir, we’ll do it for nothing. This is the greatest honor,” Trump told the New York Times in January. Clark’s internal cost projections show the McLean, Virginia-based company, the largest general contractor in the D.C. metro area, stands to make tens of millions of dollars from the work.

| second: In a slashing 43-page dissent from the Supreme Court’s decision on Monday allowing the president to fire the leaders of independent agencies for any reason or no reason, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote that the majority had destroyed the separation of powers and upended settled constitutional law. The ruling, she wrote, “promises to unleash only chaos.”
In her dissent, Justice Sotomayor wrote that “today, this court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong.” [go to link]/ |

| second: God told Trump that he should not pay either income taxes or E. Jean Carroll. To pay would be a sin that God couldn't forgive. When asked if God really has spoken to him, Trump said, "Believe me." Tax Returns of Donald Trump: [go to link] |
