Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"

What you missed overnight night.🥳 Utah's gerrymandered congressional map was struck down. The judge reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

There was something I missed that I now understand with grave reality — people lived their lives under repressive systems. They still worked and cooked and ate and wrote and talked to neighbors. They still took walks and watched movies and read books. A nightmare. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Thank you, Your Honor, and way to go, Utah! The state’s Legislature will now be forced to quickly redraw its congressional districts after a judge ruled Monday that lawmakers had sidestepped voter-approved safeguards designed to prevent partisan gerrymandering.

Trump and his supporters pretend that he made money from real estate. He didn't. That was a myth created by "The Apprentice." He *lost* money in real estate. The most money he ever made--$3.4 BILLION--was from his presidency, which he got elected to by pretending he was successful in real estate.

Besides the Epstein diversion, the deployment of troops to DC is to create two chilling possibilities. One, to invoke the insurrection act and put down any demonstrations as the country goes south. Two, to suspend elections and declare martial law if the country turns against him.
