I'm going to be on with @velshi.com at 11 to talk about my article on the small acts of noncompliance that we can take against our dispicable government. I guess Summer is over. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
WHOOPSIE DOODLE
Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. He's a tyrant with his back against the wall, so he and his cronies are rigging elections in Texas. Understand what's going on here.
What are Democrats saying about jobs, specifically, and the economy in general?

The head of a group that spearheaded the creation of colorful crosswalks at schools across Leon County met with the state Department of Transportation Monday afternoon.
THIS!!!!
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
Big elections tomorrow: 1. Dems have outside shot at gaining a Senate district in Iowa that went for Trump by 11%. 2. Dems have an outside shot at gaining an Assembly seat in California that went for Trump by 13%. 3. The former police chief in Mobile is running for mayor a year after being fired.
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Important. Clear, concise, imperative. Please watch.
DeSantis fronted $245M+ of FL taxpayer money for “Alligator Alcatraz” with the promise that FEMA would cover it. Now he’s crying about an “activist judge” not letting him detain people in a swamp they knew wasn’t fit. Trump got his Nazi optics on FL’s dime, DeSantis got played.
Steve Bannon just laid out the MAGA media playbook to subvert the midterms www.mediamatters.org/steve-bannon...
Y'know, when I think "Cracker Barrel" I sure do think "woke." The obsession with finding new culture wars where there are none is getting pretty ridiculous.

I need some good news.
Florida's Constitution would like a word.
The Texas House has passed Trump’s GOP redistricting map 88-52 after a seven-hour debate. Final passage expected later. Over to you, Governor Newsom. And NY. And all blue states if they’re up for it. Should cheaters win? Let’s hear the answer.
62% of Americans think Trump sucks at being president. Republicans like to say those who oppose them are the “radical left.” So the vast majority of Americans are at least anti-GOP radical leftists.
What's up with the trend of men growing mustaches?

Attorney for Epstein survivors Jack Scarola on Trump’s handling of the Epstein Files: “What I see is a continuation of a massive government-sponsored cover-up. This is not accountability. This is not transparency. What the victims have received repeatedly is deception, delay, and diversion.”

Be angry at Democrats all you want. They're still the best chance we have at turning things around. Push for better candidates. Make your voices heard. We need a blue wave, and that's going to take $ and manpower. #mobilize ✊️

Voters should choose their politicians, not the other way around.
If you live in DC and are active on normie social media sites, you should be flooding the zone with videos of boring peaceful life in the city.
“It was last year at “NatCon,” as the event is called, that Wilson’s entrance into the conservative mainstream was most evident. Between speeches by Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and JD Vance, Wilson sat down with Hazony and Albert Mohler, the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.” 1/
Talerico: If Republican policies are popular, why do they need to redraw these maps? Why can't they run on their policies? Cain: I'm getting wrapped on time. I'm enjoying this conversation. I apologize. Such as the nature of cable television.
No, I am not panicking. I am outraged. I am outraged that the price of standing up to Trump — of standing for democracy — is to be subjected to endless lies, attacks and false accusations by people who know better. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

The law specifies a census every ten years, not whenever you feel like it could help your party.
The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
What can you do? Pay attention to what is happening locally. Show up to city/town council meetings. Stay informed. They do shady things when they think no one is watching. Disabuse them of that notion. #mobilize ✊️

The case that saved the press – and why Trump wants it gone President Donald Trump is again attacking the American press – this time not with fiery rally speeches or by calling the media “the enemy of the people,” but through the courts.
FRIEDMAN: “If the behavior this administration has exhibited in just its first six months continues and is amplified for its full four years, the America you know will be gone. And I don’t know how we will get it back.” ‘1984’ is upon us. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/o...
That's impressive considering the competition.

The angst of going through the motions while our country turns into a dystopian hellscape is quite a vibe.

You can’t fire yourself out of a bad economy. You can’t fudge the numbers to convince the American people that everything is ok when every day they are feeling these rising costs.
BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.
Tech investor Marc Andreessen’s VC firm, a16z, backs the “Solano Foundry” project in CA. Andreessen also backs the “Network State” movement, which seeks to build new cities w/ the goal of helping them amass enough power that they can become countries. How do we know they won’t try that here? 1/

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer "It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
Forget all else regarding Epstein. FOLLOW THE WIRE TRANSFERS.
We are living in an age of bullies. Those with power are less constrained today than they have ever been in my lifetime. The question is: how do we lead moral lives in this era? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/28/bullies-moral-lives-robert-reich

Phillip: He denied being briefed on the files, which he was. He denied knowing Prince Andrew, despite pictures of them together, including at mar-a-lago. And he denied being on Epstein's plane when he had many times.
It's how they want you to feel. We can not give in. We must keep up the fight.
