📌Yet another Republican president tanked the economy and started a senseless war in the Middle East. THAT is their brand.

Zelensky speaking the truth. The US is now a Russian ally, and the Starlink decision is a massive benefit for the Russian military (and it has nothing to do with Ukraine attacking Russian refineries). The US is literally riding to Putin’s rescue.

Abbott has been governor for 12 YEARS. And Texans have plenty to be pissed off about: •Skyrocketing cost of living •Property taxes •Underfunded public schools •Healthcare costs •Abortion restrictions •Rising electricity bills •Water and power

TEXAS IS IN PLAY! Gina Hinojosa’s latest internal poll has her clocking Greg Abbott! 🔵 Hinojosa: 47% 🔴 Abbott: 45% Why do internal polls matter? Campaigns use them to identify weaknesses, target persuadable voters, and this one reinforces recent public polls showing a VERY competitive race.

Anti-abortion groups were already lobbying Todd Blanche to crack down on abortion pills before his confirmation hearing. Judging by his testimony, they found an ally.

Egg producers got caught colluding to inflate prices—and Trump let them off with a measly $3.3 million fine. One company alone made $1.2 billion in profit last year. Big corporations cheat, and Trump lets them off the hook.

Trump is America’s greatest threat.

When the community note proves that the reason the initial post made him sound like a piece of shit is because he's a bigger piece of shit than the initial post made him out to be.🤷‍♂️

Your parents are the only people who want you to be more successful than them.

lol. lmao.

Last year, Vance Boelter shot and killed a Democratic state rep and her husband. He was sentenced this week to consecutive life sentences. Maybe now’s a good time for some accountability for the Republicans who peddled disgusting conspiracy theories about the slayings?

Venezuela men sue aviation firms who flew them to notorious Salvadorian jail

Justin Pearson on data centers: We are being asked to sacrifice our drinking water to cool computers whose main use case is to take our jobs.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

IT’S TIME FOR BLUE STATES TO FIGHT BACK. HARD. Why are we funding a federal government that openly punishes states for not voting for Trump? The Trump administration admitted in court it canceled nearly $8 billion in clean energy grants because the states didn’t vote for him. Blue states only.

I’ll take “what would an asshole do for $500” please.

The Trump administration is planning a backstage census change that's likely to depress participation from minorities, causing selective undercounts so the GOP can "steal congressional seats" and skew financial allocation against blue states. @crampell.bsky.social has the scoop.

We will all be better off when he is gone.

ICE must be reformed - massively. Suffering part of Trump’s plan.

Priorities.

The Fields Medal, awarded every four years to mathematicians under 40, was given to Yu Deng, John Pardon, Jacob Tsimerman and Hong Wang for their groundbreaking work. Wang is only the third woman to win.

There's one man who tried to commit election fraud in the State of Georgia in that 2020 election, and it was Donald Trump.

Trump’s America; built on Lies, Cons and Rape.

Interesting

Scams, lies and war crimes

“Trust me, bro” ain’t working. Every one of Trump’s deadlines expires, then magically becomes a new promise. And the market manipulation sure has been profitable for some folks.

🚨 A PUBLIC HEALTH FAILURE RFK JR: “We do have the outbreak under control.” Strange way to describe a “skyrocketing” outbreak. More than 11,000 people sickened with cyclosporiasis in 41 states.

Another bad choice that will hurt Humans.

The Radical Right is running the Republican Party. In trump lingo, that would be “nut jobs”.

A federal judge has approved a US$1.5 billion copyright settlement in which artificial intelligence company Anthropic will pay thousands of authors about US$3,000 per book after using pirated copies of their works to train its Claude chatbot.

Trump’s presidency is a Historic Mistake.

Hegseth is a FAILURE.

Taylor Farms, the lettuce supplier at the center of our explosive diarrhea outbreak, has spent millions to oppose food regulation and elect Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans:

ICE is quietly arresting more people than ever. After months of releasing no detention data at all, the new numbers show a record 1,474 arrests a day in early July, the highest daily pace of the entire Trump administration. 🧵 austinkocher.substack.com/p/ice-quietl...

Funny how transparency became optional.

Voter suppression doesn’t beat organized people. Learn your state’s deadlines. Check your registration. Get your people to check theirs too. Volunteer with groups getting voters registered & trained as poll workers. Fighting back is a to-do list, not a mood. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies #USDemocracy

Today, 7/20, is the deadline for Acting AG Todd Blanche to respond to my latest filing demanding: *specific documents from the Epstein Files be produced in the judge's chambers AND *for Blanche to pay a $1000 fine/day until he complies with the rest of the preliminary injunction entered in my favor

More of our tax dollars are going to be spent on Qatari Force One that Trump takes with him when his term is over. This is insanity.

Duckling feet to start your week. 🪶 🐣
