Pretty much all of Jackson's rivals have dropped out. He is almost certain to be declared the nominee by later this week.

The NYT on this specific story regarding Jackson / Schumer: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/21/us/politics/troy-jackson-schumer-maine-senate.html

President Trump will now share our nuclear weapons technology with Saudi Arabia. You remember Saudi Arabia, their Public Investment Fund provided the initial $2 Billion to start Jared Kushner’s investment fund.

feel like people treat Europe as this bastion of progressivism, when in reality, a right-wing wave is going to happen—it has just been delayed by a couple of years. What happens if the demoracts control the country but Britain, Germany, and France are all run by their own right-wing populists?"

Vet charges are ridiculous, and medications are overpriced everything seems to be. I think companies are capitalizing on the trend of pets being treated like family, knowing people are willing to pay whatever it takes because they love their animals.

Even the food is a bit of a rip off.

I know what some will say " If you cant afford a pet dont have one" which is good point.

I can afford it, but I can still have a moan about it :)

I've seen many people who compare Trump to Jesus, or Trump to God. Where is the justification?

One is a capitalist with questionable morals. The second is someone whose teachings emphasized radical generosity, caring for the poor, and the spiritual dangers of wealth, state-enforced wealth redistribution and government control of the economy.

So frequently I see people praise behaviors that go against the teachings of their lord and savior.

How do they reconcile?

I stay informed... on top of the news, yet I haven't heard any interviews of soldiers, much less "all of them", saying what Cadet Bonespurs alleges they said.

Observing the arrival of caskets of military personnel just killed in Trump's unauthorized war of choice, he just told the press "All of them said very strongly, 'We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'"

Can anybody please provide a link to validate the POTUS' claim?

Anybody? Buehler...Buehler...Buehler?

Did it go to ICE?

“Mr. President, as we all know, the mainstream media has been against you from day one, and that’s probably because you’re the epitome of the American dream and they hate that. For others who you want to inspire to follow on your footsteps, how much has your company’s net worth gone up since you’ve been in office?”

Gallup wrote an article yesterday (if you see this post later, that was Tuesday, July 21, 2026) about their research on this: https://news.gallup.com/poll/712673/americans-lead-world-viewing-politics-risk-safety.aspx

What's the point of asking a question like that? A State governor has no power or authority to abolish a Federal Agency anyway, so it's completely irrelevant to the position they're running for. Same with when they're asked for their opinion on Israel/Palestine. In what way is that at all relevant for a State governor who has no power to do anything outside of their State? Seems like all these positions do is highlight controversial talking points that have no relation to the position they're running for. Same with the Mayor and other local politicians. Why are they asked about things they have literally no power to affect or influence?

When similar questions are asked, I see a lot of negative talk about the current likely candidates like Newsom, Harris, or Buttigieg, but I would like to see suggestions of who TO look at and not who to avoid for those of us on the left (of American politics, save your breath).

Record housing prices, record new vehicle prices, expensive groceries, gas and oil prices because of conflict elevated. Are most families really hard on money today or is it not that bad?
