Thank you to everyone who did their amazing work at BioWare. Especially KotOR, as one of the best RPGs I have ever played. I hope everyone there, past and present, lands on their feet. You deserve that for all the great and hard work you have done, and the millions of lives you have entertained.

The six biggest Senate fundraisers this cycle are all Democrats. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

“We’re almost dead in the water because our workforce is gone,” said Scott Brannock of Jacksonville-based Tidewater Homes and the Northeast Florida Builders Association. “We have national builders who are missing projections … because they have slabs sitting on the ground and no one to frame.”

ICYMI: Saudi Arabia reports at least 12 killed and 309 injured in an attack on Riyadh’s airport, with multiple people hospitalized in critical condition.

Tom Malinowski: Russia does not currently have excess diesel fuel that it can export (in fact, it currently has an export ban). So none of this will happen. This is just Putin humiliating Trump again, making him look like the supplicant, and further delaying tougher US sanctions to end the war.

Crowd chants "SHAME ON YOU!" at Republican Senator Roger Marshall after it was revealed that he sued over 700 patients and got multiple pregnant women arrested over their medical debt

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.

JUST IN 🚨: Diesel hits $6.50/gallon for the first time in history 📈 📈

This is the Trump regime's wet dream.

JUST NOW: A confused, clearly not-there McConnell votes “AYE” after almost voting NO with Dems but getting *corrected* by handlers around him

Kloza: ⛽️

This is a major escalation of the war. As yet unreported in most US corporate media. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have attacked four cities in Saudi Arabia, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a significant expansion of the Middle East war.

WAPO: “.. The Associated Press is advising its reporters and others who follow AP style to continue referring to Lake Ontario by its original name, despite President Donald Trump’s order to rename it Lake America last month ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

RBADVISERS: “.. Those worried about depleted military stockpiles should look at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which effectively doesn’t exist anymore. IF…if… it ever gets refilled that could put sustained and significant upward pressure on oil prices.”

it looked majestic as hell

President Trump's attempts to restrict mail-in voting are still blocked, thanks to our win earlier this month — and we'll fight to keep it that way. We'll always work to protect your right to vote.

Looks like the WH put out the bat signal in the influencer groupchat because hit dogs are hollerin'. Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" is causing a nuclear-level MAGA meltdown and a lot of inference is happening from just 3 words, so Trump's camp seems to be telling on him. Yikes.

BREAKING: ABC has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the FCC in DC District Court. The suit says the Trump administration "has waged a retaliatory campaign against ABC for a single reason: it disapproves of what ABC broadcasts." www.cnn.com/2026/08/18/m...

This has to be some sort of Achilles heel. Gotta press some more on this.

Happy Birthday Margaret!

Incompetence at the top has trickle down effects.

🔥 The largest Wildberries logistics hub in all of Russia has been finally destroyed. Koledino, Moscow. Wildberries appears to have made a conscious choice not to empty this warehouse despite knowing Ukraine will destroy it like all others. Expect $1.5+ billion in damages.

EKWUEME: “.. Diesel and gasoline are on their way to new all-time highs while oil struggles to stay above $80. They can short oil all they want... the fuel you actually consume is surging.” ⛽️

RBADVISERS: “.. Yet another inflation impulse. The US basically has NO STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE (SPR) anymore.”

39 year low in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

All these corrupt toadies glommed onto Trump because they misread 2024 as a permanent national shift: The future was MAGA. Now they're like cartoon characters who ran off a cliff and realized there's nothing under them. Me and @amandamarcotte.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2140...
