🚨BREAKING: Judiciary Democrats’ report details mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities and DOJ’s cover-up; specific accounts involving 11 women provide more evidence of potential sex crimes. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

abdul is one of the best new talents when it comes to eating a frame frame: without ICE, who enforces immigration law? wrong: ICE is going rogue and must be reformed right: RWers scapegoat immigrants b/c they have nothing to offer, and they've built up ICE to act as an expression of that cruelty

This seems like a big deal

Incredible if predictable betrayal of public trust: you have industry lobbyists become appointees, exploit unitary executive theory to undermine environmental laws and ride roughshod over staff.

Holy shit I am FURIOUS

The Columbus Dispatch this morning

IPEV is also superior because *any* registration issues can be cured on the spot. Not registered? No problem. Register and cast your vote same day. Tons of hours to vote, lots of voting sites, no lines, no reliance on third parties like the USPS or uncertainty over a messy signature.

Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse: "She has no vision other than to complain about what someone else did to her"

If you only read the New York Times or watch CNN you would have no idea he did this

That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race. Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.

Bleecker Street, the film distributor overseeing the theatrical release of Alex Gibney's documentary Musk, was informed on Friday that the film's TikTok account was subject to "permanent suspension." tinyurl.com/4yd9997x

Excerpts from Michael Lewis on DOGE (Guardian article). 1. Gavin Kliger, white nationalist, refused to shake hands with the Black IRS staffer who briefed him on privacy issues. Or pay attention. Kliger now has a defense start-up valued at 1.4B thanks to DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This would sink a presidency in any other era. I would bet most Americans will never hear it even happened.

He firmly believes that there is no achievement, no victory, no life lived that can be worthy of recognition if you're not a white man. He believes that every award, medal, plaque, ribbon earned by any person of color was given as liberal affirmative action. He belongs in the gutter.

"If you look at the population of — well, all people in cities, particularly people who come to cities from elsewhere, but particularly homeless and other vulnerable people in cities [...] a pretty large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in some other parts of this country."

Nicole is a leading expert on the issue of campus sexual violence. I am floored that USA Today would do this to her. I find this kind of journalistic behavior unethical and morally reprehensible, twisting an interview with a renowned advocate for survivors into a hit piece against a survivor.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

This entire situation is beyond disgusting, but thank the Goddess for the stellar fucking work of student journalists. Truly. CW: rape, sexual assault www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

For my newsletter, I wrote about Democrats coming out against "trans surgery for kids" (which do not happen) and how the myth took over our politics. www.burnsnotice.com/the-trans-ki...

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

Wonder how many fishing boats we’ve blown up based on chatbot hallucinations. Because I bet they’re not as cautious in those cases as they are about seizing Chinese vessels.

Gonna start referring to Democrats who take anti-trans stances as “Biological Republicans”

Remarkable how little political noise it's made here in the US that a major American naval base in Bahrain was basically destroyed, and that this was kept quiet for five months www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/u...

BREAKING NYT: A month after the Trump admin declared without evidence that thousands of noncitizens had illegally registered to vote in Nevada, DHS officials were unable to substantiate the claim — finding just 185 potential anomalies, not the 16,000 claimed last month.

"The Emperor is a fan of Flock, and we must continue utilizing Flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground... They are following children in parks and gymnasiums, and we need this. I need this so I can stalk my ex-girlfriend."

perfect synopsis of modern Republicanism

Darlene Graham just bumbled through one of the worst responses to a question during a political debate you'll ever see

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.

It turns out that when you massively ramp up recruiting goals while turning the job into something no remotely decent person would want to be a part of, you get a paramilitary force composed overwhelmingly of human garbage.

the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes

Exceptionally good piece www.publicnotice.co/p/trans-wnba

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.
