What a POS
What a POS
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
Trump is a great strategist🥴

You did it! Thank you for voting. Democrat Catelin Drey has flipped an open Iowa state Senate seat, raise a glass! This victory means Republicans no longer hold a supermajority in Iowa.
I’m watching the video of our defenders returning from russian captivity… and tears won’t stop. So much pain in the eyes of our people, so much suffering in the families waiting for their loved ones. russia is absolute еviІ.
Really going out of his no-budget Christmas movie wheelhouse here. Seriously, look up how many fucking cookie cutter dog shit trad-wife targeted Christmas movies he has been in!
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...

MAGA: "But what if we paint the wall... BLACK?"
🚨BREAKING: With the Senate set to give final approval to the map Friday, state Sen. Phil King, the Republican chair of the Senate redistricting committee, revealed he’s spoken with Adam Kincaid, the national GOP’s leading map-maker, three times this summer. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Congrats, MAGA! You're complicit in covering up one of the most vile child sex-trafficking rings in history. Jeffrey Epstein thanks you for your service! Catch up on all of today's news here: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...
Trump taking a 10% stake in Intel for the government is yet another reminder that Dems, when in power, should stop being afraid of their own shadows and do whatever the f*ck they want and not worry about political norms or rules or conventions or media name calling.
And Trump put a cherry on top by inviting mass murderer, war criminal, and child trafficker Putin to the US for the World Cup. America, Russia’s vassal state. bsky.app/profile/juli...
These same liars on Fox claim Ukraine started the war against Russia. Fox lies nonstop and MAGA soaks up the poison.
We are moving dangerously close to martial law. Trump openly said he intends to “go after” Chicago and New York in his next federal crackdown, saying he’s prepared to deploy U.S. troops against civilians.
The pace of our transition from Republic to Autocracy continues to accelerate, with all the same pretexts and justifications we’ve seen in other places throughout history for each incremental move. We even have the enablers and quislings that are a necessary precursor.
From Trump's anti-American loyalists, bet it's akin to this.
*J6ers in masks. Trash.
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc
Did you know Missourians passed an anti-gerrymandering constitutional amendment in 2018? Did you know that the Missouri GOP put it back on the ballot with deceptive language in 2020 and voters overturned the amendment? Voters were duped. Hoodwinked. Republicans can’t win so they lie and cheat.
The Trump admin is moving from denying climate change to rewriting it. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a longtime oil industry executive, announced plans to “update” past National Climate Assessments, the gold-standard, peer-reviewed reports that lay out the risks of the climate crisis in detail.
Sorry Gavin, Pete, Kamala... Y'all just aren't the ones.
Group of former national security & FBI officials issue warning about ongoing purge inside FBI “We have seen these dynamics abroad—leaders who demand loyalty from security services not to the law, but to themselves. These regimes do not end well”
Definitely needs to be done to preserve the Republic, and protect democracy.
Noticing a pattern here.
Zohran Mamdani just released a statement about Cuomo working with Trump:
Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

Significant portions of Article I of the U.S. Constitution were removed from the version published on Congress’ official Constitution website. Large parts of Section 8(which outlines the powers of Congress) were deleted, and Sections 9 and 10,
White House press corps is utterly useless. Legacy media has failed us so badly.
The brothers Cuomo are both vicious and both dumb, but in different combinations. Andrew: primary vicious; secondary dumb. Chris: primary dumb; secondary vicious. But to repeat, both are both. Anyway dad Mario is spinning like a corpse tornado under the dirt.
WATCH — @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social : “Trump has been coordinating directly with Cuomo… it’s Trump billionaires that oppose our campaign’s vision of affordability for all New Yorkers — as he rips immigrants from their homes.”
Join ICE and… fuck your dad??
We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House. This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries. They can’t win fair, so they cheat.
The Texas governor is threatening to arrest Texas Democrats for refusing to participate in a special session he has called to virtually eliminate representation in Congress for 8 million Texas Democrats.
Judge Drunk Pirro has been confirmed by the US Senate. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...
This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps. Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.
RECAP OF THIS WEEK: 1. Trump said Epstein “stole” 14-year-old Virginia Guiffre from him. 2. Trump gave convicted child trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell immunity and moved her to a luxury prison. 3. Major news outlets confirm the FBI employed 1,000 agents to scour 100,000 documents to redact Trump.
Shame on any media outlet or university that allows Trump to silence it. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/30/trump-silencing-of-american-media
Russia killed 31 people in its latest attack on Kyiv—but they are not just numbers. They were children, parents, teachers, neighbors. 🧵 Here are their stories 1/7 ⬇️
Holy shit this is real Soviet/N. Korean style stuff. After the dismal jobs report Trump is going to fire people who compile the data and replace them with hacks. The markets and American people will never be able to trust these numbers again.
Donald Trump is a man obsessed with voter suppression and election conspiracies. He makes no secret of his willingness to misuse the Department of Justice to achieve his political objectives. Every day brings further evidence that the 2026 elections will be the culmination of these two realities.
The GOP-controlled Senate just confirmed the worst judicial nominee ever. And that includes Thomas and Kavanaugh. We must record who Emil Bove is and what he has done to undermine the rule of law in his short stint at the Justice Department. My write-up in the replies.

Democrats fight back, instead of embracing "norms" that MAGA torched time, and again? Surely you jest Sir!
It seems to be working really well... I hate it here.
The Muslim judge was a bridge too far for some supposed "Democrats". Fucking grotesque we are here now. Republicans are an Anti-American cult, and Democrats have some pathetic, greedy wimps that need purged from the party for good. Zohran is the future the lobbyists fear.
Why was a billionaire mogul so concerned as to where a 14-year-old blonde girl at one of his hotels worked? He knew her personally? Why? He loved this 14-year-old blonde girl so much he ended a decades long friendship?
the republican party is a criminal conspiracy against the american republic
Despite a letter signed by over 900 DOJ employees and 3 whistleblowers, the dumb ass senate just confirmed Stephen Miller Sr. to a lifetime judgeship!!! F&%$ all of you corrupt assholes!! Emil Bove 🖕🏽
This is why the Bove seat was vacant, and there’s a real throughline from the forces that defeated the previous Democratic nominee to where we are today. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...
Multiple credible claims that Bove urged DOJ employees to break the law and ignore the judiciary. And the GOP Senate decided this is not disqualifying because nothing is disqualifying.
New poll: The vast majority of NYC Dem primary voters agree with Mamdani’s Israel positions, even arresting Bibi. 57% say they’d be less likely to support incumbent Dems who don’t endorse Mamdani. That includes Schumer and Jeffries right now. www.semafor.com/article/07/2...
Can’t make this up. MAGA genius running for Senate spelled his state wrong in his opening ad.
OK’s MAGA schools’ chief Ryan Walters says the porn playing on his screen during a state board meeting was not his porn.
I really thought it was going to be his golf outing.
Trump’s EPA wants to roll back standards regulating pollutants from burning fossil fuels, like car exhaust and methane. Meanwhile, 17 staffers in his White House own up to $2.2 million of stock in Big Oil companies. They’re getting rich off polluting the planet.
Exactly This…

Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia. Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.
Darren Beattie, fired from the Trump White House in 2018 after it was revealed he attended a white supremacist conference, has just been appointed acting president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, according to the State Department.

By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute. Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a “permanent transfer of authority” from Congress to the president. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.
We don't know for sure that Trump and Epstein were friends. Could just be they were acquaintances with a mutual interest in raping children, so don't be so quick to accuse.

Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel spent $15 million helping JD Vance win a U.S. Senate seat. That investment is clearly continuing to pay off. Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to the top.
Fucking MAGAts will endlessly find scapegoats who aren't Dear Leader to blame. They're fucking degenerates.
He connected the dots between the money, the merger, and the pressure he might face. He essentially predicted his own cancellation on air. https://trib.al/5NGd6O4
The first redistricting proposals for TX are in. This is what cracking and packing looks like. This is an intensive gerrymander. See how the districts spiral in fingers into the cities. Lizzie Fletcher's district TX7 becomes almost entirely rural.
In recent months, the Department of Justice has been contacting states demanding access to sensitive election and voting data. Democracy Docket is the details of where this happening and what they are asking for. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Dem Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters. Mamdani: Save your money. I have +45 favorability with male voters & +73 with men under 45. Endorse me. Dem Party: No way dude. Now—why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!
Absolutely grotesque policing.
These officers are unhinged and deranged and need to be held accountable. Locally first because we know this federal government won't prosecute criminals
Cruelty doesn’t seem like a byproduct, it’s the goal. The Trump administration is set to destroy $9.7 million worth of contraceptives instead of sending them to women in need overseas.
Rural Republicans are scared of rural Democrats, and they don’t like folks like me poking my head into rural places. They want rural progressives to feel alienated and disengaged. They want them to feel hopeless. I am chasing away the boogeyman at each stop. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
No, this is not a joke. This is real. North Carolina Republicans have introduced a sweeping elections bill that, among other steps, would bar election officials from encouraging or promoting voter turnout. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/don...
Netanyahu’s atrocities are not limited to Gaza. He has also unleashed terrorist settlers in the West Bank who attack civilians and recently beat a young American to death. Even Trump’s ambassador, Mike Huckabee, called this a “terrorist act.” NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

The Trump regime has decided to destroy $9.7m worth of contraceptives rather than send them abroad — it will cost US taxpayers $167,000. The contraceptives are primarily long-acting, such as IUDs and birth control implants, and were intended for women in Africa, www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
"The bitterness is still there. The anger about what happened to him is still there.” After four months, more than 200 men sent to El Salvador have been released from CECOT and returned to Venezuela. @nlanard.bsky.social and I spoke with family members and friends waiting to be reunited with them.
CONFIRMED: Arturo Suárez, the musician imprisoned by the Trump admin without due process in El Salvador for 4 months is FREE. A video shows him telling his brother that while they were imprisoned, they were beaten daily by guards. Remember: this is the first ever mass release from CECOT.
i’m not seeing here in the constitution where it says every single day must be insane
Grassley voted to repeal healthcare from millions multiple times, without a replacement program... He never was a "decent" person. He's always been a fraud.
We got another massively consequential ruling from the Supreme Court this week, this one allowing Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education. But why is nobody talking about it? Because the ruling came down on the Court's so-called "Shadow Docket."
Sorry Superman ain't flying around, randomly putting brown people in swamp prisons. That must be hard for you. Thoughts and prayers and whatnot.
The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.
Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms. But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately. Remember this.
Let’s put this to bed.
A few things are clear from this: 1. Trump has lost control of the narrative. 2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files. 3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries. 4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.
FEMA’s response to the deadly Texas floods was likely slowed by cost-cutting measures enacted by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, at the behest of DOGE. Noem must personally approve every contract and grant over $100K, hampering FEMA’s ability to quickly deploy resources. “Efficiency.”
