Dean Obeidallah: "There are now 129 days until the Nov 3rd midterm election. Saying this is the most important election in our lives is an understatement.

"The Supreme Court paved the way for the Trump administration to deport more than 350,000 Haitian and Syrian nationals in the United States who were previously protected by Temporary Protected Status designations. In doing so, the court effectively blessed Trump’s bigotry toward Haitians and dealt potentially catastrophic damage to federal civil rights laws":

The newsletter also discusses recent successes by Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression. Donald Trump continues to act as #PutinsPuppet in the ways described here.

Phillips O'Brien: Trump continues to help #Russia. The US government removed sanctions on Russian businessmen. Trump lied about how Putin did not help #Iran in the recent war. Trump praised Putin for being 'neutral' in the #IranWar. Russian support helped the Iranians win the war and defeat US forces (and defeat Trump). This Russian help went from vital drone components, targeting intelligence to help the Iranians hit US bases, sanctions evasion help, and the delivery of finished munitions.

Most Americans oppose war crimes. At risk: "billions of dollars in yearly military aid, symbolic backing like reliable vetoes of anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations, or even tax exemptions for United States charities benefiting Israeli causes."

"A Supreme Court decision allows the stripping Temporary Protected Status from thousands of people. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has the authority to extend deportation protection for TPS holders. Doing so would prevent the decimation of a health care industry that millions of seniors and home health care facilities rely on.

Donald Trump wants all anti-Trump voices to be silenced. Stephen Colbert lost his television show, with its massive audience. Trump tried twice to get Jimmy Kimmel fired. #CBSnews is lost. #CNN can soon be lost. The Baltimore Sun is lost. Eliminating all of the anti-Trump people who write on Substack would help Trump silence the left. I need to read what they write on Substack.

You really are misguided, @jaypeach53, because you are blind to these events: Stephen Colbert lost his television show despite its large audience, #CBSnews is no longer trustworthy after the interference of Bari Weiss, this is likely to happen to CNN soon, and the Baltimore Sun was bought by an extremist whose expressed goal is pleasing Trump. We need great sources of information, and many great people on the left write for Substack. Cut them off and we have far fewer reliable sources. #politics
Trump, #WorstPresidentEver, is also known as #PutinsPuppet. He helped Putin on issues including his alienation of #NATO allies, the #UkraineWar, and the #IranWar. #WorstCabinetEver has these horrors: Pete Hegseth, #RFKjr, Todd Blanche, Bill Pulte, Kash Patel, and Markwayne Mullen. It had Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard. Trump's unforced errors include the #IranWar, the ballroom, the reflecting pool, threats to Cuba, threats to Greenland, and corruption.

Matthew Continetti: "What William Safire dubbed the Four I’s—inflation, Iran, Israel, and ineptitude—not only sank Jimmy Carter’s presidency, they now they threaten Donald Trump’s."
Inflation is high due to Trump's twin mistakes: tariffs and the Iran War. Trump lost the Iran War. Iran emerges from this war stronger than it was before Trump attacked. Israel threatens to sabotage the Iran peace deal. Ineptitude is a combination of #WorstPresidentEver and #WorstCabinetEver. copy: @renewedresistance

Some misguided people attacked Substack, a source that I often quote. People who publish on Substack include some very bad people and many more very good people. Read the good ones. Kyle Tharp wrote about Substack: "Liberal voices and anti-Trump opinion still rule the platform’s politics and news categories. Can conservatives catch up?" We need reliable sources of news, sources that are not approved by Trump. Substack is one such source.

Broadcast news outlets that once were trustworthy, such as #CBSnews and #CNN, were bought by right wing extremists. This is also happening to newspapers in the United States. David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group bought the Baltimore Sun. Earlier he told Donald Trump: “We are here to deliver your message. Period”:
