Jules in DC

In the face of all the Grand Juries refusing to indict Trump's political enemies, I can't help but recall Justice Sotomayor's argument against Trump immunity in 2024; that we already have protections against rogue prosecutors, including The Grand Jury.

A liar, a coward, and a traitor walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What'll it be, Speaker Johnson?"

It’s time to send HIM packing, isn’t it?! 👇 Now, go VOTE!! 😎🇺🇸✨

A win for the resistance! Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro to remain president of Brazil, dealing a major blow to the far right in Latin America. Ketchup will be flying tonight at the White House! 💚✊

The new Santorum.

He’s really funny!

After our last post, we’ve heard from people reporting voting machine issues in South Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee. We haven’t independently verified these accounts. We also read Stella Parton’s account of having to correct her selection before casting her ballot in Tennessee.

Attention, Ohio voters: Yes, the Community Note is correct. We just fact-checked it.

okay fine maybe we need more info before we land on the precise Zacharia measurement but what i can say is that it is LESS THAN HALF a Scaramucci

It’s sad that this is necessary, but we’re glad to see action being taken to protect our elections. More than 100 Democratic Senate staffers will head to key polling locations this November to observe the election process as part of a new, first-of-its-kind Senate Election Observer Program.

Can we please not nominate another “neutral” attorney general in 2029? Go scorched earth.

Fair enough. It’s time to stop the bots!

Good news and a thank you to Ukraine! Bot traffic from Russian tech company Yandex’s network has plunged following Ukrainian strikes on its data centers.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

DHS claims the man ran in front of their SUV. You be the judge.

Correction: they've hit THREE data centers :D

It’s that time of year for my 2010 joke.

Sherrod Brown tells Scott MacFarlane about an Ohio farmer whose fertilizer costs jumped $100,000, wiping out his profit and threatening a fifth-generation family farm. “People feel betrayed.” Brown blasts Sen. Jon Husted for staying silent on tariffs, war, and soaring prices.

No more excuses. Release all frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. Now.

Where’s the outrage MAGA❔ This is your base❕

Black folks don’t hang themselves from trees.

When you think things can’t get any more ridiculous at the White House, Trump is now floating the idea of replacing the White House press briefing room with a swimming pool.

People in Oleshky have no food and are surviving on grass and weeds, a desperate measure that won't even be an option in the winter. Real pressure must be applied to Russia to allow people to evacuate!
