As of August 2, 2026, there have been 283 mass shootings in the United States in 2026, resulting in 275 deaths and 1,195 injuries. The recent tragic shooting in Idaho yesterday adds 3 more deaths to the total. This means there have been more mass shootings than days in the year so far, as this is day 215.

DESTROY THE OLIGARCHS!

Albania’s “Flamingo Revolution” has HALTED the Kushner resort on a protected coast.

The Gen Z-led movement, the biggest since communism fell in 1991, with an estimated 250,000 people flooding Tirana in June, has HALTED construction of NEPO BABY’s $6 billion luxury development on Sazan Island and the Narta Lagoon, pending environmental review.

“US Aircraft Carrier Problems Tied to Iran’s Early Strikes on Bahrain Base – NYT”

“Key Takeaways;

- Iranian strikes heavily damaged the US naval base in #Bahrain, forcing the #Navy to shift a major #logistics operation thousands of miles away to #DiegoGarcia.

-The USS #AbrahamLincoln has been at sea for nearly nine months without a liberty port, amid reported supply shortages and concerns about crew mental health.

- Despite mounting logistical pressures, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insist the US can sustain its naval operations indefinitely.”

”What has happened on the USS Abraham Lincoln is our clarifying moment. Everything…is the responsibility of failed leadership that goes right to the top. We have a president…obsessed with erecting monuments to himself, putting his name on buildings, putting marble and gold leaf all over the White House, punishing people he considers enemies, enriching himself and his family, and playing golf at public expense.”

How does the 'most openly corrupt' POTUS, the Tangerine Tyrant make his money?

Here's a guide, and if your wondering how he can still enjoy support, I'd say that his followers just think he's doing what they'd do if they had the chance...

The best remark on Trump I ever heard was: He is a stupid person's idea of a clever person... which might also explain his continuing support?

Heading and text from article: Trump Delivers Money Launderers a Big Win The Treasury Department and FinCEN announced a final rule permanently killing the requirement for U.S. companies and individuals to report beneficial ownership information, and FinCEN also announced it will delete the beneficial ownership information it’s already collected. Former congressman Tom Malinowski (who helped pass this law in 2020) said the entire purpose of the law was to stop drug traffickers, Russian and Chinese kleptocrats, and other international criminals hiding money behind anonymous shell companies in the U.S. Beneficial ownership information is just a record of who actually owns a company, and it existed to stop Delaware LLCs from laundering millions to offshore accounts on behalf of untraceable people or entities. Malinowski also said the move is likely totally illegal, as they are making their own rules to avoid a law passed by Congress. I cannot think of another reason of why you would do this unless you want to actively aid and abet organized crime syndicates.

Trump’s own Trump Media & Technology Group just posted a $238 million net loss. While TMTG regularly reports huge net losses, this time they were accompanied by announcements that the firm would be unwinding multiple planned partnerships with crypto exchange and Trump megadonor Crypto​.com.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol #CitationNeededNewsletter

Trump Media & Technology Group The president’s Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), parent company of his Truth Social platform, has backed out of its deals with cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. The Singapore-based company has contributed $36 million to Trump’s various super PACs since December 2024, when it first donated to his inaugural fund. In March 2025, TMTG announced its first partnership with Crypto.com: a plan to launch “made in America” exchange-traded products incorporating both crypto and non-crypto assets [I80]. Just three days later, Crypto.com announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission had dropped its investigation into the company [I81]. In August 2025, the two companies announced a joint venture called Trump Media Group CRO Strategy Inc., a treasury company to hold Crypto.com’s CRO token [I91]. And in October, they announced yet another partnership, in which Truth Social would offer prediction markets via a Crypto.com integration.17

Alt...

All those plans are now falling apart. In May 2026, TMTG’s investment partner, Yorkville America, withdrew its SEC applications to list several planned crypto asset ETFs that would have been serviced by Crypto.com.18 Last week, Crypto.com and TMTG announced they would be canceling their plan to launch the CRO treasury company, citing “prevailing market conditions, and shifting business and stakeholder priorities”. The same press release also confirmed that Crypto.com would no longer be a part of TMTG’s ETF plans.19 Separately, the companies announced that Crypto.com would no longer be integrating with Truth Social to provide built-in prediction markets, though they claimed a marketing agreement would remain in which Truth Social would market Crypto.com’s existing prediction markets to users. TMTG’s interim CEO, Kevin McGurn, explained: “Our strategic focus is to drive revenue across Truth Social, continue to build our global media business, and close the merger with TAE” — referring to a planned merger with the nuclear fusion company TAE Technologies.20

Alt...

TMTG’s second-quarter report followed shortly after, revealing a net loss of more than $238 million, including $116.7 million in losses on their digital asset holdings (bitcoin and Cronos) and another $73.7 million in losses on equity securities. The company posted only $1.7 million in revenue.21 Crypto.com may also be struggling: crypto media outlet Protos raised questions about a “crisis brewing” at Crypto.com, pointing to an executive exodus, slashed credit card rewards,b, and a 70% downturn in the price of CRO over the last year.22

"If a time traveler from late #Weimar #Germany materialized in #America today, they would instantly recognize the spiteful rhetoric pouring from #DonaldTrump and his lieutenants — language that echoes what #AdolfHitler and the #Nazis deployed a century ago.

“The radical left is actively trying to destroy our children’s future with the disaster known as (dramatic pause) #communism,” according to #Trump. “This isn’t a #socialdemocrat. These are #communists by another name.”

Facing a possible fiasco in the November midterms, Trump and his allies have reached for one of the oldest scare tactics in the book: trying to persuade #Americans that #communists — perfidiously disguised as progressive #Democrats — are plotting to destroy the country.

“This new fixation on the word #communist is an effort to save himself in the mid-terms by creating an emergency. Basically he’s trying to revive the old #redscare tactics of the 1950s..."

John Oliver discusses how the Department of Justice has changed since #Trump took office for his second term, how the #DOJ seems to be acting on his behalf instead of on behalf of the people, and why we need barbers who use scissors instead of their teeth.
