Fox News gave Dennis Hastert, whom a federal judge called a “serial child molester,” a warm “In Memoriam” sendoff.

“I’ve been sayin it. I’ve been sayin it for 10 damn years! Ain’t I been sayin it?”

Just when we think it can’t get worse … it does.

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

New mothers, #cancer patients like me, virtually everyone else. #MitchMcConnell took 92 PAID days off, directly benefiting from a policy he denies the rest of us. Meanwhile I'm teaching 5th grade each day so I don't lose benefits & income. We deserve better. Crowdfunding to stay alive is crazy. ❤️

Trump rejected an Iran ceasefire and privately told aides he'll resume bombing after the midterms. Then he went to a football game. And that's just the start. Your Saturday recap is here:

Mike Johnson on OpenAI and Anthropic: "They can self-police. They can self-regulate."

I think this is an accurate assessment - at least somewhere around this number. The problem isn’t rebuilding the bases, it’s force protection. Iran knows what works, now they’re reconstituting their capabilities during the lull in fighting. Emboldening them was a grave mistake

Everything Trump and his family touches dies. Nice knowing you, Lakers.

It’s time to end this war and bring our troops home.

Here’s the thing: It’s not going with him after the presidency. We’re taking it from him.

Two things I especially appreciate abt this story. One, it explains why this is so important for dumbasses like Nate Silver.

This is our moment to pull together and build a strong coalition that can win, govern, and deliver a better everyday life in America.

This would be a really big story with any other administration.

Susan Collins is corrupt as fuck.

I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.

Republicans set their health care grenade to go off after the election. Don’t be fooled.

ICE arrests at airports are up in recent months as details emerge about an agreement with TSA to share travelers’ personal data.

The headlines today were about Dr. Fauci, but Trump’s intent to expand his control of government & country in ways the Constitution sought to prevent & explicitly prohibited should be the biggest story. Read the analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The Trump administration is ending a Medicare subsidy program that helped keep prescription drug plan premiums down, forcing millions of seniors to pay more beginning in 2027. The program is providing insurers an estimated $3.6 billion this year to limit premium increases for Medicare Part D plans

Republicans really want to remind voters of...2020?

The message from Republicans is clear. If you want to enrich yourself and your family, to break laws with impunity, to punish your enemies and jail your critics, then the federal government is the place to be. But if you want to help ordinary Americans and try to keep them safe, well, fuck you.

Truly shocking behavior. At the same time, basically how you make your bones in the Trump/MAGA syndicate.

If the current Republican orthodoxy is that public health officials are responsible for every incident of disease or death that occurs on their watch, I'm looking forward to the months of hearings about RFK Jr

Nobody in the U.S. Senate is more responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade than Susan Collins. In November, we will defeat her.

Bunch of new medical personnel being flown to Germany? Probably nothing to see here. 🤦‍♂️ (Germany is the primary hub to prepare for military casualties in the Middle East. They’re flexing a lot of personnel, including over 100 medics)

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

This is fucking shameful. They’re apparently trying to pretend like these are two separate conflicts in order to cook the books on casualty numbers. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...

“Wading in”

Thou shalt not let the media whitewash Elon’s crimes. He belongs in prison. Prosecute him, seize his assets, and redistribute them to the people. NOTE: This is the merciful position.

Mitch McConnell would have replaced Mitch McConnell a month ago. Why can’t the Dems get their shit together?

Susan Collins voted with Trump 90 percent of the time in his first term and 95 percent of the time in 2025, his comeback year. Now may not be a good time for a record like that.

Wow: Trump says he just finished yet another physical at Walter Reed and has requested another cognitive exam as rumors and evidence continue to pile up about his declining health and mental state.

Trump took another cognitive test and had another physical at Walter Reed. Has it even been two months since his last physical? There’s a massive coverup surrounding the President’s health happening right now.

First, the Human Thumb (Stephen Cheung) called the story fake. Now they’re subpoenaing reporters… over a fake story? Way to confirm the reporting.
