This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up.
Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking.
The media response is "yawn."
"That call-out must include the media. It has no right to feign shock at this outcome, because it has played its part in sowing seeds of hate and discord in our political system and in our politicians" #auspol > womensagenda.com.au/latest/a-pol...
Why aren't the Democrats making any noise about this? They should be standing side by side out front of the White House demanding action from the Republicans.
THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
As the Trump regime sues LA officials for not disqualifying 20,000 people DHS has labeled as non-citizens based upon their screening tool, it is good to remember that DHS used to same tool to identify over 15,000 non-citizen voters in Nevada. Complete checks revealed that ALL of them are citizens.
Zelenskyy: “I told Trump: If you enable Starlink access inside Russia, we can quickly destroy their ballistic missile launchers. Putin would come to negotiating table, and I wouldn’t need to destroy a single energy facility. But instead, they shut down Starlink.”
As they say, "from RU, with love"
Alice Weidel is saying that Zelenskyy “is not interested in peace,” and that in order to have peace in Ukraine, “we need to take Russia’s security interests into account.”
She is a straight-out Russian asset. Note how Alice recoils and refuses to acknowledge that Russia rejects making peace
Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI.
Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay.
AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.
It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.
Republican US Rep Brian Fitzgerald tweets that he will introduce a bill to block purchases of Russian oil. Don Bacon (R-Neb) tweets that he will co-sponsor. Obviously this won’t happen during campaigning recess (and Trump could veto anyway) but interesting push-back on Trump.
6 farm workers were killed during a morning Russian strike on the Kharkiv region‼️ At the time of the attack, they were sorting vegetables...
Terrorist bastards killed them for no reason at all, except being Ukrainians in Ukraine!
He says that what he's doing in Gaza is the "opposite of a genocide," and that we should all be ashamed of ourselves for inverting victim and aggressor.
There’s a lot going on right now, and Susan Collins is hoping voters won’t notice that she was the deciding vote in confirming another anti-abortion Trump judge to a lifetime appointment.
Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period.
The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.
"Will Republicans Be Asked to Disavow Elon Musk Over His Latest Creepy Antisemitic Post?"
Amid the never-ending frenzy over Hasan Piker, the GOP’s top donor just posted a bizarre pseudoscientific statement about Jews, DNA, and white identity.
My latest for Zeteo's 'First Draft' morning newsletter:
Remember the Epstein Files?
So far, only about half the files have been released — and a potential cover-up by the Trump regime continues to generate bipartisan political action. Here's what you should know.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.
Tech oligarchs could really set the example for the common folk by simply building their mansions right next to their data centers and then live in them with their families.
The number of Black men and women being found hanging from trees is outrageous and terrifying. The silence is beyond comprehension. Black people are not suddenly choosing to lynch themselves. What in the actual fuck is happening in this country, and why isn’t anything being said or done about it.
Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed.
Get big money out of politics.
Strengthen unions and boost wages.
Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more...
This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for.
It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.
Another day, another impeachable offense: The White House ordered federal agencies to block resources to Colorado because it had punished an election denier.

“Everything they do is money laundering. All of it.”
These guys get it. 👇🏽
The Trump projects aren’t just “vanity” (although they are that too) — they are laundering excuses. And ways to put money in the pockets of Trump, his family, and his friends.
Zohran Mamdani is backing a bill to hold Amazon accountable for exploiting delivery drivers.
Now Amazon is launching a $5M lobbying blitz — led by Chuck Schumer's daughter — to crush it.
Instead of spending millions on lobbying, Amazon should pay and treat its drivers fairly.
On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state."
This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states.
I’m voting NO.
NEW: Amid AG confirmation battle, Todd Blanche assured anti-abortion activists that he's working to make Dobbs 'permanent in every single state.' Admin will act 'soon' to limit mail-order abortion drugs. w/ @alicemiranda.bsky.socialwww.politico.com/news/2026/08...
