Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

WSJ:  Katie Zacharia has never passed the bar exam in the U.S.. She failed the test in California in 2011. Once she moved to China, she served as an international legal consultant, which did not require passing the bar.

If you or someone in your house is not trans, the only thing you should ever think about trans kids is “How might I brighten their day should I come across one?” Beyond that, you’re a fucking weirdo who is extremely useful to nazis.

The bar for progressive policies is: "did this unilaterally solve the entire gigantic systemic issue without making a single person sad?" The bar for conservative policies is: "did the people pushing this yell out the name of a real problem before doing something unrelated, cruel and ineffective?"

When I woke up, both NYT & WaPo front pages had Driscoll headline Army secretary submits resignation to Trump after repeated clashes with Hegseth Right next to the Bunker-Ballroom headline Supreme Court clears way for White House ballroom construction to continue I worry elections aren't enough

Love this podcast. Hate this lazy garbage writing: "Both men also pointed to something else — a deliberate lack of moralizing, and, in a post-woke world, a curiosity about the past rather than a rush to judgment." www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/w...

nytimes.comHow Two British Historians Made a Smash Hit PodcastThey took on topics as diverse as fall of the Aztecs, the French Revolution, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and history’s greatest monkeys. The rest is history.

The US decision to launch a trade war against Canada while it is in the midst of a foolish war with Iran, while China is laughing at its weakness, while the deficit is exploding and bond markets are calling BS... shows that the US government is not acting in US national interest.

As you look at these comparisons, remember that Natalie Harp is just 9 years younger than Ivanka (35 and 44). And remember that Ivanka played this role in Trump 1.0.

The reason the White House is so sensitive about Trump and his relationship with Natalie Harp is because, well . . . because it's a bit awkward

The incredible reaction to Jon Ossoff saying just one word about our emperor's new clothes -- "Natalie" -- shows what Democrats can do if they just speak the truth about what all of us can see with our own eyes

Latest piece. With the withdrawal of the last US aircraft carrier from the Western Pacific, the overall degradation of the US military, and the US now openly attacking its former allies, we need to face a stunning reality: An "age" is ending. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/is-the-ame...

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Found this on Tumblr with the caption, "Saw a fire, stopped his car, got out and Madonna'd the fuck out of those flames". I want him carnally.

My revulsion at the mainstream media for participating in the WHCD tonight can’t be overstated. They’re laughing at his jokes and shaking his hand? Fuck off. The corporate press is an enemy addicted to access. And this was true before the Ellison’s started their takeover.
