Most Say Trump Cares More About Himself Than The Country
This chart reflects the results of the YouGov Poll -- done on July 6th of a nationwide sample of 18,134 adults.
The ICE Killing In Houston Is Starting To Look Like Another Murder
Mr. Salgado was not a documented immigrant, but he had lived in Houston for 35 years, and had created his own construction business. He paid taxes and had no criminal record. In other words, he was a valuable asset to the Houston community - until he was killed by an ICE agent.
Here are a few facts about the killing:
* Delgado was not the person ICE was after. Evidently, this was another ICE blunder.
* Delgado was unarmed and on his way to work (at one of his construction sites).
* The ICE agents who tried to stop Delgado were driving unmarked vehicles and none were wearing uniforms. There was no way he could have known they were law enforcement of any kind.
* NONE of the ICE vehicles had dashboard cameras, and none of the agents were wearing body cameras (WHY?).
* ICE claimed Delgado had rammed one of their vehicles and "weaponized" his vehicle to go after an agent, so they shot into his vehicle in self-defense. But a video shot after the incident showed no damage to the "rammed" ICE vehicle.
* The incident is being investigated ONLY by the federal government, and access to all information and evidence has been denied to local law enforcement.
* Witnesses to the shooting have been detained by ICE, and ICE is trying to pressure them into signing papers to be deported.
This is starting to smell like another ICE murder - just like the ones they tried to cover up in Wisconsin. Why won't local agencies be allowed to investigate? If ICE did nothing wrong, an investigation by local authorities would show that.
ICE hasn't been in the news recently, but evidently they haven't changed. They are still a lawless agency who thinks they have the right to murder at will.
THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

The Trump/GOP "Big Beautiful Bill" Is Still Unpopular With Voters
These charts are from the Navigator Poll -- done between June 25th and 30th of a nationwide sample of 1,000 registered voters, with a 3.1 point margin of error.
Trump Now Has The Forever War He Promised Not To Start
The following is from Robert Reich:
Two weeks ago, Trump declared: “For the first time in 3,000 years, we are going to have peace in the Middle East.”
Today, he declared that the ceasefire is “over.”
Weeks ago we had a ceasefire and a “memorandum of understanding” with Iran that, according to Trump, gave us everything we wanted, including an end to Iran’s nuclear program.
But the so-called “memo of understanding” left almost everything to be negotiated, including Iran’s nuclear program, its missile program, its support for terrorist groups, and its repression of its own people.
Before that — at the end of February — we had the promise of a quick “four-to-six-weeks” intervention.
The cold, hard fact is that America is far worse off today than we were before Trump started this conflict — without consulting with Congress or our allies. The Strait of Hormuz is once again effectively closed. Oil prices are moving upward.
Iran’s nuclear stockpile remains hidden. The regime in Tehran is more extreme and resolute about gaining a nuclear bomb than ever before.
Meanwhile, 13 Americans have been killed and some 425 have been wounded in action.
Over 3,400 Iranians have been killed, including 120 schoolchildren, and 26,000 Iranians have been injured. The Pentagon has already asked Congress for about $70 billion to cover the early operations around Iran, and the cost rises every week.
Trump never gave the American people a good reason for attacking Iran in the first place. He had no objective and no exit strategy.
The likeliest future is a low-level continuation of this conflict as far as the eye can see — coupled with sporadic announcements from Trump that it’s over and America has won, which are then contradicted by another set of attacks by Iran’s missiles and drones, followed by another round of American aggression and Iranian retaliation.
This is the “forever war” that Trump criticized when he ran for office in 2024.
The question is whether he and the spineless Republican Congress that have supported this debacle will be held to account.
