We had a terrific meeting today with Vlad Putin.
The great Vlad Putin.
He says "jump,"
And I say "how high?"

He says "jump" and I say "how high?"

The Election Rigging Response Act — will go before California voters this November. The key provisions are:
1. Retains California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission and declares state policy supporting the use of fair, nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide.
2. Temporarily adopts new California congressional districts for use in congressional elections through 2030.
3. Preserves California’s current congressional maps only if Texas or other states also keep their original maps.

Early adopter senators are rallying with CA:

AZ Senator Ruben Gallego: “It’s time for Democrats to understand the existential threat.”
MI Senator Elissa Slotkin: “I’m not going to fight with one arm tied behind my back”
NY Governor Kathy Hochul: “All’s fair in love and war. We are following the rules. We do redistricting every 10 years, but if there are other states that are violating the rules and trying to give themselves an advantage, all I say is I’ll look at it closely with Hakeem Jeffries.”
IL Governor JB Pritzker: “We all ought to stand up against it”
NJ Governor Phil Murphy: “If that’s the way we’re going, we’re from Jersey, baby, and we won’t be laying down.”
MD House Majority Leader: “I’m introducing legislation to redraw Maryland congressional districts if any other state cheats & draws new maps outside of the census period.

That’s a perfect title for the referendum, and awesome about these governors. They may have more power than congressional Dems.

Trump-Putin summit a bust--for Trump.

*No ceasefire deal: Despite having insisted on a ceasefire deal before and during his summit with Putin, Trump failed to secure one.

*Loss of leverage for Trump/US: Gave Putin international legitimacy without any concessions, thereby weakening U.S. position.

*Trump was made to look weak by providing a warm welcome to an international criminal, first by even meeting with him in person (a huge coup for Putin) but also when he had troops roll out a red carpet for Putin and when he gave him a ride in the presidential limo.

*Reminder to all who may have forgotten: The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin in March 2023 for war crimes related to the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children. As a result, the 123 member states of the ICC, which are signatories to the Rome Statute, are obliged to arrest him if he enters their territory. This includes all EU countries, most Latin and South American states, most African states, and Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and Switzerland,

Unconvinced by Trump's insistence that he will usher in an economic Golden Age, consumers indicated their fears about impeding inflation.

U.S. consumer sentiment softened in August as households anticipated higher goods prices because of import tariffs.
The University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers on Friday said its Consumer Sentiment Index dropped to 58.6 this month from a final reading of 61.7 in July. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the index would increase to 62.0. "This deterioration largely stems from rising worries about inflation," Joanne Hsu, the director of the Surveys of Consumers, said in a statement.

“.. US corporate bankruptcies in July reached their highest monthly volume since 2020.

“.. Year-to-date bankruptcy filings totaled 446 through the end of July, the most for this seven-month period since 2010.”

Friday: Trump says Putin claims voting by mail cannot be fair and it's how the 2020 was purportedly "rigged" against him

Today: Trump announces executive order to ban mail voting and also voting machines

Also today: Newsmax pays Dominion $67 million to avoid trial for lying about voter fraud.

FOX paid $786 million
OAN $40 million
Lindell lost in court everything
Tina Oeyers is in jail state charges Trump
Can not get her out lol

State of Washington votes by mail you know how many republicans have voted that way for years. Trumps EO is not constitutional or a win for MAGA cult of dummies.

8/13/25: MAHA may break with Trump over pesticides. They think he’s at risk to lose the midterms because of it.

“Key MAHA leaders, including the leaders of Moms Across America and Children’s Health Defense, wrote a letter to President Donald Trump on Monday urging him not to support “broad liability shields for pesticides and forever chemicals” – or face a backlash in the mid-term elections.

According to the letter, provisions in the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Bill for 2026 “create broad product liability protections for domestic and foreign pesticide and chemical manufacturers by refusing to fund the critical and necessary scientific safety assessments for product label updates of more than 57,000 synthetic chemicals that are required by law, as a favor to the pesticide lobby”.

The letter urges Trump to ensure “any protections for pesticides are stricken from this Appropriations bill”, warning that “creating broad liability protections for pesticides is a losing issue for your party and your coalition, and may well cost you the House majority in the midterms.””

The Trump regime does not follow Court Orders and so far there is zero consequence.

With all these losses, why are Republicans gaining on Democrats in voter registrations? New York Times published an analysis today that finds 2.4 million gain for Republicans and 2.1 million loss for Democrats.

US servicemen on their knees before Vladimir Putin, as Vladimir watch them bend to roll a carpet for him to walk on. Sad, sad day.
