Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump familyās ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trumpās net worth by billions of dollars.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they wonāt.
So weāre supposed to believe that the Truth Social posts over the last couple days that arenāt filled with terrible spelling and grammar, random capitalization and quotation marks where they donāt belong, with no threats or personal insults, are actually being written by Trump?
Why donāt you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesnāt want you here)
Oh
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.socialās @mizzwelch.bsky.social
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this āMake America Healthy Againā?
āDo you guys feel bad about what youāre doing? Donāt you f*cking hate yourselves?ā
Welch: āHe calls himself the law-and-order president, but heās a convicted felon. He pardons felons. He surrounds himself with sycophants who kiss his ass every single day.ā
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isnāt normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

Ah, yesā¦living dangerously here in Chicago. Just a few recent pics.
What will America be under President JD Thiel, excuse me, I meant JD Vance? Time to start seriously thinking about this as Trumpās health continues faltering.
Disgraceful.
Here he goes.
Donāt look away
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have āstayed and foughtā, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: āNo one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topicsā¦Heās getting his information from somewhereā
Trump regime operatives exposed in plot to undermine Denmark and overthrow the government in Greenland. Regime operatives attempted to disrupt democracy through misinformation and disruption operations aimed at recruiting traitors and collaborators to help sway public consensus towards the US.
It's possible ... hear me out, here ā¦. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
A former CDC staffer adds: āThis is the work of a death cult.ā
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kidās āmitochondrial challengesā just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: āWe cannot let RFK Jr. burn whatās left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the groundāhe must be fired."
I just had this conversation with Dr. Heidi Beirich 4 days ago. If you want to understand the ideology of Breivik and Tarrant, the white nationalist terrorists cited by the Minneapolis shooter. youtu.be/SYj7swi8d5c?...
Now that the shooter has been identified as a white male who was radicalized in part by previous white nationalist, racist shooters who promoted anti-semitic conspiracies that MAGA and the GOP promote....I expect him to fall out of the news cycle like Vance Boelter...remember him?

šØThe National Guard is now picking up trash in D.C. These images will not make recruiting brochures.
I asked for the latest COVID vaccine this week at my VA clinic and they didn't have any. They said they are "out" but maybe more is on the way. The don't have an ETA.
Im an atheist so cant give an āamenā but I am a believer in my governor!
We. Have. A. Dictator. In. The. White. House.
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
Trump wants to lock up people who desecrate the flag. Here he is violating the flag code by signing his name on it with a marker.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Thatās my Governor!
Who wouldāve thought Americans wouldnāt want to live in a military state? Oh thatās right, all Americans. Another negative impact of the military crackdown in DC small businesses are struggling to make sales. Restaurant reservations have dropped by nearly 30% compared with last year, and some owners
This man is an expert on looking the other way on sex abuse incidents. I absolutely cannot believe they brought this guy on to talk about this subject. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
WTF!?!? Maybe she's TWELVE?! @indivisible.org @moveon.org @50501movement.bsky.social in Seattle, PLEASE help shut down Avelo Airlines! THIS IS A KID! IT'S OUTRAGEGOUS!
I remember that quite clearly. Funny how that works.
Youāre right about thatā¦Chicago is not the city to fuck with!
Nahā¦I live in Chicago and I want the goon squad as far away from my city as possible. Fuck him, indeed.
ICE agents in Lynwood, CA tried to break into a barbershop without a warrant. When the owner refused to open the door, they threatened him: āIām going to go get your dad and Iām going to get your mom!ā Is this the America we want to live in?
Check it out. Orban sent a letter to Trump complaining that Ukraine damaged Russian gas pipeline. And hereās Trumpās response ā¬ļø
Theyāre lighting democracy on fire.
I would pay someone to punch Scott Jennings in the faceā¦
Nancy Mace: "In my time in Congress, I actually helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history, in South Carolina history. So I've worked very hard on the policies that matter to voters here." (Mace is taking credit for legislation she voted against!)

Kharkiv right now. Moscovia bombs sleeping families. 4 victims including kids. Donāt tell me about peace that Putin wants. Do not dare.
Donold used the higher crime numbers from 2023 to justify his takeover of D.C., and soon he'll use lower ones from early January this year to "prove" it worked.
Gov. @GavinNewsomās @GovPressOffice team has really cracked the code on how to give them a taste of their own medicine, remarkable to watch
THIS. IS. THE. WAY.
Well done, Alaska.
The fact that an indicted war criminal has been invited to the US to meet with the President to look at maps of the country he invaded tells you Putin has already won.
This is only going to get worse as they continue to deport the workforceā¦
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
ANCHORAGEā¦
that summit could've been an email
Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left
Vladeck: Thereās one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldnāt drink alcohol on his porchāD.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers arenāt even trained in the laws theyāre purportedly enforcing.
Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
Oh, fuck noā¦youāre not blaming Pete Buttigieg for your mishandling and mismanagement of air travel and safety. Youāre a two bit reality TV hack with zero intelligence or experience.
There were 34 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of July.
Cc: @jaketapper.bsky.social Get started on your new book.
This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.
Jennings has one of the most punchable faces on network news.
Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DCā¦ he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.

Inquiring minds want to know...
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
No wonder he had to join ICE.
Heās going to take over DC to avoid talking about Epstein.
Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."
My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.
Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show. Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up, Marš«

Interesting ay?
Fact check: mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia). This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs. Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "I led the effort to build the IL Holocaust Museum. What I know is that in 53 days, Nazis tore down the constitutional republic in Germany in the 1930s. It doesn't take much. We're seeing pieces of that sort of authoritarian activity happening right now in this country."
The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.
JUST IN: Abbott says he may treat fleeing lawmakers as having āforfeitedā their offices and move to replace them. He also suggests they could be subject to felony charges if they accept payments to cover impending fines gov.texas.gov/uploads/file...

NEW: A newly declassified part of the Durham report shows republicans used a Russian-manufactured email as evidence that Hilary Clinton conspired with Russia. ššš gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/u...
My God. This hit so hard. Because you know what they're going to choose. And it makes you feel like, as a species, we may be irredeemable. So many of us find just doing the basic decent thing an utter impossibility.
I don't understand why the administration keeps saying that other countries pay our tariffs. This is simply not true even in the most optimistic scenario (e.g., a US importer negotiates something with their foreign partner). If the policy is good, why lie about it?
Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison
Dems should vow to impeach Bove and any nominee who did not testify truthfully under oath
Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy
CNBC: The EPA is moving to rescind this endangerment finding on carbon dioxide and greenhouses gases. Is that a danger to public health? MAKARY: To be honest, I don't know enough about that issue CNBC: You're in charge of our public health! Can you look into it for us?
