The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.

Texas Voters are seeking to block the state's new congressional map before the 2026 midterms, arguing it constitutes a racial gerrymander. Voters offered evidence that a Republican state representative said the redraw was based on race, not partisanship. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
This is so stupid
That looks like they painted over the bruise
Except Bolton had this coming.
Dying for Whiteness. Tragic.
This is great: a National Guardsman standing up to say every member of the National Guard and military "is legally obliged to disobey an illegal order."
Steak 'n Shake is owned by Biglari Holdings, founded by Sardar Biglari — Iranian immigrant multimillionaire and supporter of Trump. Biglari bought 4.7 million shares of Cracker Barrel in 2011, and failed seven times to take over the company. Trump supporters will buy any “MAGA-branded” bullshit.
This hasn't gotten nearly enough attention. In earlier times, officials even LOOKING at confidential files was considered a major scandal. Today a Trump crony is scouring mortgage files to find dirt on the president's political enemies and it's being greeted with "New allegations emerge!"
Customer: Give me the biggest name in the Epstein files Barber: Say no more

Vice President JD Vance is on his eighth vacation in the six months he has spent in office, and this time, he may have broken local laws.
⚡ Russian forces in the occupied Luhansk region are systematically preparing local children for future mobilization into the occupying army.
Trump's own DOJ website still has a press release up from January pointing out that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in more than 30 years.
You can tell that the President is serious about public safety in the nation’s capital because he pardoned a bunch of people who committed violent crimes in DC on his first day back in office. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Could Putin Take the Baltics? Yes. Russian 'little green men' with no insignia could occupy Baltic capitals in 60 hours or less before the NATO bureaucracy even has a chance to formulate a response amid the confusion and chaos. smallwarsjournal.com/2025/08/05/c...
Currently unknown if Putin or Zelenskyy have been made aware of this or if this is another Trump hallucination.
one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say don’t even know they’re victims
Storks fly over scorched Ukrainian fields as Russia’s war ravages both lives and land.
Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files. Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office. One side dodges accountability. The other fights for democracy. Repost @djmelodie

You know how everyone is asking how Trump would know, all these years later, that Ghislaine Maxwell "stole" Virginia Giuffre from his spa before she made her a sex slave? It's not all these years later. Pam Bondi would have just reminded him of that in May.
The IRS's free tax filing tool is now reportedly "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?
I know this is tired, but not the Onion
Direct File was an easy way for Americans to file their taxes for FREE each year. It's a no-brainer — and it's popular. So why in the world did the Trump administration kill it? To give a huge handout to giant tax prep companies like TurboTax that rip Americans off.

Also all of Republican policy is easily explained by them not knowing what the current year is or what year anything happened.

She told you this would happen. Don’t you ask me who, you know who.
🧵 Just remember the evidence that put Ghislaine Maxwell away for 20 years: Dozens of recording devices, computers, hard drives, and memory sticks. Flight logs, birth certificates, and floor plans of Epstein's properties.
Leader Schumer is calling on the Trump admin to provide a closed-door briefing to all senators on the Epstein files. "This issue isn't going away. It's only getting bigger and more dangerous the longer Republicans ignore it."

If you think it’s a coincidence that this weird post portraying manifest destiny and Native Americans being chased away has 14 words and the two H’s are randomly capitalized I’ve got a bridge to sell you. The bridge is covered in Nazis.
Trump has actually been remarkably successful in implementing his agenda and at the six month mark he's hit a low point in Gallup approval ratings. That's because the agenda is fundamentally unpopular! Something we tried desperately hard to communicate in 2024.
Congratulations to our new ambassador to the UK Ghislaine Maxwell
Big conservative realignment happening
sorry for being super woke but deposition video of the worlds most famous pedophile invoking the fifth when asked if he ever partied with you and underage girls should be career ending
Hannity 2019: I have zero doubt that Russia meddled in the 2016 election…I’m certain they did. Devin Nunes was warning Obama in 2014 Hannity 2025: They all lied. I’m proud that this show got it right. The rest of the media went along with the lie.
Trump claims he’ll take on the elites—but he won’t release the Epstein files. What’s he hiding? Maybe the ‘drain the swamp’ guy doesn’t want us looking too closely at who’s in the muck with him. Republicans should stop protecting billionaire pedophiles and release the files.
Pam Bondi:
What the NJ federal judges did was utterly normal. The applicable federal law explicitly empowers them to name the US Attorney when the acting's 120 days expires. They picked an experienced, respected prosecutor—and not just a Republican, but the person Habba had chosen to be her top lieutenant.
NEW: Over the years, Texas legislators have declined to pass at least three bills that would create siren or alert systems, a tool that Kerr County officials tried to secure for years before the July 4 flooding. By Lexi Churchill & @lomikriel.bsky.social, w/ @texastribune.org
Speaker Mike Johnson is protecting Jeffrey Epstein and his clients? Hmmm. . . this might be a good time to remind everyone that Mike Johnson met his "adopted" (never really adopted) son (who never appears in family photos) at a youth camp. And was the dean of a law school named after a pedophile.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
Epstein victim Maria Farmer: “Ivana was [Ghislaine’s] best friend… She’d drive by schools… get [girls’] phone numbers… Everybody knew what they were doing.” To shut her up, “they gave me one of those cheap bracelets Ivana was selling on QVC.”

There's officially been more accountability for corporate extramarital affairs at Coldplay concerts than there's been for the sitting president covering up a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children.
I wonder what contract termination they threatened Musk with to get him to kill Epstein content on Twitter

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans. President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

Pam Bondi’s DOJ, is facing a deadline tomorrow to respond to Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal to the Supreme Court. This marks the third time the clock has run, after two previous extensions. If they let her off MAGA is gonna be pissed. Maybe they’ll storm the Capitol for the right reasons this time

Wow.
There have now been more measles cases in 2025 than in any other year since the contagious virus was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, according to new data released by the CDC.
I’m just amazed that MAGA seems to thinks Trump is burying the Epstein investigation because he’s protecting OTHER people.

I just argued with my MAGAt Mom about this. I did not back down for her. I will not back down for anyone else. The lost lives, including the children, are on the shoulders of those who decimated NOAA, FEMA, & the other involved agencies as well as the emergency plans. I do not forgive or forget.

Might be a good idea for Dem controlled state and local governments to hold hearings now about what the big, ugly bill and cuts to FEMA, NOAA, HHS/NIH, etc are going to do to their communities. Our electeds have a responsibility to inform the public about what is coming now. Particularly 👇
