Sen. Lindsey Graham dies after brief illness; Sen. Mitch McConnell speaks publicly after weeks of mystery about his health

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has died after a brief illness. The South Carolina Republican...

Lindsey Graham's death kinda feels like we got a free appetizer because our entrees were taking a long time. - MP Arizona

The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump

Trump: "We're gonna keep the strait, and we'll probably run it. We'll become the guardian of the strait. We should be reimbursed for that. When we do that, we're gonna be reimbursed. We're gonna get paid."

Trump's War Plan of the Day: Subject to Change

U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States is "reinstating" a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and will charge ships for safe passage, after another heavy exchange of fire threatened negotiations aimed at ending the war.

He said on social media that Iranian ships will no longer be able to travel through the strait and America would charge a 20% toll on eligible cargo, as the conflict with Iran has intensified after peace talks failed to deliver meaningful progress.

Americans Favor Work Requirements for Members of Congress - Andy Borowitz

Yep, He's Setting Us Up For The National Guard at Voting Locations

President Donald Trump is working to gain unprecedented control of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections this fall through a series of new assertions of presidential power, including firing key leaders of the federal Election Assistance Commission on July 9.

Despite polls showing voters favoring Democratic candidates by several points, Trump has said without evidence that the only way Democrats can win the November midterms and retake one or both chambers of Congress is if they cheat and that his efforts are necessary to prevent it.

Last week, Trump REFUSED to sign affordable housing legislation, calling it “so unimportant.”

Today, I signed a bill to cut housing costs by up to $60,000 per home, expand homeownership, and build more affordable housing.

It’s called governing, Mr. President. Maybe try it. - Gavin Newsom

I just uncovered more evidence that Donald Trump is spending hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars to print giant banners of his face and put them on government buildings.

Not only a terrible waste of the hard-earned dollars of the American people, but also an illegal use of public funds. - Senator Adam Schiff

Here Comes Da Judge...
A federal judge Monday voided President Trump’s settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), finding that the lawsuit that served as the hook for the $1.776 billion so-called Anti-Weaponization fund amounted to collusion as the two parties were never truly averse.

Judge Kathleen William: " Trump’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over his leaked tax returns was filed for an improper purpose"

She also voided his immunity deal, and recommended disciplinary action for all attorneys involved.. That would be you, Todd Blanche - OldManLefty

Your reminder that Lindsey Graham, along with Mike Crapo, Chuck Grassley, Jerry Moran, Mitch McConnell, John Thune and Roger Wicker, voted to convict Bill Clinton for lying about an affair - but acquitted Trump for attempting a coup. - anyonewantchips

Trump Admits He Left Explosive ‘Instructions’ In Case Iran Assassinates Him

President Trump admitted to the New York Post on Friday that he's left "instructions" on what to do if Iran follows through on its vow to assassinate him.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said he’s “ready” to hand the reins of power to a successor — but didn’t reveal who he thought Israel’s next leader should be.

In an interview with Israeli journalist Sharon Gal of i24news, Netanyahu — who first took office in 1996 — also declined to say when he would step down.

Republican Shenanigans

Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized and out of public view since mid-June, with zero transparency from his office. Is he alive? Brain dead? Recovering?

Yet DC reporters can’t be bothered to demand real answers or even basic updates.

The Rigged Election Is Going As Planned
President Donald Trump has dismissed the remaining Democratic members of the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), Benjamin Hovland and Thomas Hicks, while Republican Christy McCormick resigned. The EAC, a bipartisan agency established in 2002, helps state and local officials conduct elections and distribute grant money. The firings leave the commission without any members as the midterm elections approach.

Trump fired the last three members of the Election Assistance Commission, the independent, federal commission that assists election administration officials nationwide, because what says free and fair elections like having no officials to guide the process except Trump's word? - BythePeople

Just Release The ENTIRE Epstein Files and We'll Know These Answers!

Lesley Groff, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant, told members of Congress last month that she never met any of the girls and young women who provided massages to Epstein and that she didn’t know anything about their backgrounds – including how old they were.

Some Epstein survivors say that Groff was not telling the truth.

In interviews with CNN, multiple Epstein victims, including four women who spoke on record and two who shared their accounts anonymously, took issue with various aspects of Groff’s recent testimony to lawmakers. They described meeting Groff in person, discussing with Groff how old they were and being directly paid by Epstein’s assistant of 18 years — all contrary to what Groff told lawmakers.

CNN Apologizes For Using Fake Congressman’s Quote On Mitch McConnell’s Health: ‘Obviously We Should Not Have Done That’

CNN Apologizes For Using Fake Congressman’s Quote On Mitch McConnell’s Health: ‘Obviously We Should Not Have Done That’

CNN issued an on-air mea culpa on Thursday morning after admitting the network fell for a post by a parody account of a Republican congressman who said he had spoken to ailing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

For crying out loud, fact checking is rule #1. CNN should pay their anchors less and their fact checkers more.

I'm So Old, I Remember When the USPS Was An Ultra-Dependable Affordable Government Service

The U.S. Postal Service is raising the price of the Forever stamp, as well as additional postal products and services, starting this weekend. The change comes as the agency says it's in the middle of a "severe financial crisis" amid rising operational costs.

The USPS announced in April that the price increases, effective Sunday, July 12, were intended to support its finances and that mailing services product prices would overall be raised by about 4.8%.

Norm Eisen, attorney for former Olympian David Hern: "Today, Davey Hern pled not guilty — because he is not guilty. If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk and every American should be alarmed at this prosecution."
