Multiple videos from different angles are blowing holes in the Department of Homeland Security’s account of a fatal Border Patrol shooting in Minneapolis. trib.al/eSL6BrG

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I'm a journalist and attorney, not an activist, so I've no answers on what Americans should do right now. I only know this: Donald Trump is attempting to incite a civil war so he can cancel all future elections, and he will keep executing citizens until that outcome is achieved.

BREAKING: Pam Bondi has sent a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz demanding, in part, that state officials turn over voter records to the Justice Department.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Statement from Senator John Fetterman about today’s events in Minnesota:

SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS The SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefit is about $6 per person per day. Households with no income get about $8-$9 a day. EACH Congressman has a daily limit of $79 for reimbursement of meals and incidental expenses in Washington, D.C.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Republicans: “Not every wage is designed to be a livable wage.” In other words, not everyone deserves to live. Vote for democrats.

Always remember whose fault this really is. Mark Burnett. The guy who created the TV myth of the “successful businessman who said “You’re fired” & is very strong.” Complete fiction. Created a monster. The power of media.

Crockett: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit—we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away with this. He’s been able to get away with it because Republicans are complicit and—most importantly—the Supreme Court is complicit.

🤷🏼‍♂️

the guy who said obama was a kenyan muslim and that hackers rigged the 2020 election he lost by 7 million+ plus votes now says the jobs numbers are fake sounds legit

I hear some people saying that private donors are going to pay for the "White House Ballroom." I'm pretty uncomfortable with oligarchs owning both the White House and the President.

REPORTER: Do you think the independent redistricting commission should be disbanded? HOCHUL: Yes. I'm tired with fighting this fight w/ my hand tied behind my back. With all due respect to the good govt groups, politics is a political process. And to think we're gonna do this with a purity test ...

Casar: "This idea of fining legislators -- and now I'm starting to hear about the governor or the speaker of the house trying to expel lawmakers from office -- is deeply unconstitutional and it is part of a worrying trend ... it's the kind of authoritarian thing that we think about in other nations"

Birds of a feather….. This mother fuc*er is part of a huge flock.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

This is what is happening right now.

Wonder how sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh and sexual predator Clarence Thomas will vote on the fate of sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell.

The fact that nobody around him has told him this isn’t how numbers work shows you how afraid of him everyone who works for him is.

Meanwhile, in Texas…

Next month’s job numbers are the street you grew up on and the last thing you ate.

Imagine getting fired because math hurt a man’s feelings. We’re being governed by a walking Yelp review.

This timeline sucks. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...

Senator & former Florida governor Rick “I don’t want to be poor and am offended the law wants to keep me from getting even richer” Scott oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in US history and walked away from his company that defrauded America with $300 Million.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

He lost an election and refused to accept the results. He forced the Smithsonian to lie about American history. He fired the head statistician bcuz he didn’t like the jobs numbers. He can’t handle the truth. We elected the biggest pussy/coward/sore loser in all of human history.

Drowsy Donnie nodding off during Dr. Oz's speech. Apparently Drowsy Donnie missed his scheduled nap time. Further proof that the 79 year old is too old to be President and should resign now.

McGowan: He seems to be getting rid of statisticians and climate people and weather experts and scientists and anyone who doesn't agree with what he wants to tell or what he wants to say.

a sarcastic Bernie Sanders: "Why not? When you get bad news, fire the guy who delivered the news. I think that's sensible policy."

Off the rails.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

People are already calling it the “Epstein Wing.” Sounds appropriate enough.

Trump’s new rule lets federal employees preach on the job—even to coworkers. But the Founders didn’t separate church and state to weaken either—they did it to strengthen both. Faith is personal. Government should stay neutral so both can thrive. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

They said they wanted a White House run like a business; they got a White House run like a protection racket.

it's Saturday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: August 2 edition" — Mike Collins misspells it, Jesse Watters dispels it, and so much more... thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Who needs to address a changing climate when you can simply stop eating if all the water dries up?

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Tariffs are getting expensive for Americans! #TrumpTax
