The GOP wants to let companies run roughshod over your life and not help you. AI is just the latest and potentially the worst. https://www.axios.com/2026/08/19/gop-data-center-memo-ai-election

48 hours, 29 days - What’s the difference?

Election fraud is when you lie about very clean and secure elections being riddled with fraud

This is f—king real. What a pathetic scumbag of a president.

Robert Mueller was a patriot who served this country for his entire life. He fought and bled for the United States while many of the cucks who are attacking him did everything they could to avoid service. Nothing any of these subhuman shitstains say will diminish his legacy.

Great job here by Pete Kegseth. Thought he was posting an active duty Marine Sgt. Major talking about deploying to the Middle East for Iran. Not quite.

George W. Bush releases statement mourning Robert Mueller, calling him a lifelong public servant and decorated Marine who helped protect the U.S. after 9/11. Bush: “Laura and I are deeply saddened… We send our heartfelt sympathy to his family.”

Tump’s latest tweet about Robert Mueller is pure evil. But we can’t let this bring us down. Now’s the time to stand firm, speak up, and fight for what's right. Don't let it drain you. Keep fighting for what matters.

Mahan and Clausewitz and Sun Tzu are rolling in their graves laughing.

"Six months ago the Navy decommissioned its four Avenger-class minesweepers that had been stationed in Bahrain precisely to deal with Iranian mines. It gets dumber: Those four final American minesweepers left the theater in mid-January." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Rand Paul: "The fact he can't bring himself to say that we shouldn't settle political questions with violence, I think that would be a terrible example for ICE and Border Patrol"

Sen. Paul: "You told the media…that you completely understood why I had been assaulted…I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force."

Today, I exposed an unredacted email that clearly shows Trump has been lying about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. There's no reason this should have been redacted, which is exactly why I showed it. Pam Bondi and Donald Trump: The gig is up. Release all the files. Now.

the clip:

@markhertling.bsky.social: "There is no rational legal basis for this strike.”

It’s important to recognize good actions by companies re the war in Ukraine. Elon Musk and Space X decision the shutdown Starlink to the Russia side of the illegal invasion has been very hurtful to the Russian military and caused borderline panic. Good call

More proof that Bondi’s reprehensible performance was to please an audience of one who expects reprehensible performances.

New AP-NORC poll: Trump job approval - 36% Economy is good - 34% Country heading in right direction - 29% Vance approval - 32%

Rep. Massie to Pam Bondi: "Literally the worst thing you could do to the survivors, you did."

I spoke to Indiana Democrats last night in Anderson. Hundreds showed up. In a “deep red” state. Serious candidates. Real debate. A party of ideas. That’s how democracy was designed to work — and it’s how we take it back. We compete everywhere. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Some of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people have attempted to distance themselves from Jeffrey Epstein. But document releases and other revelations over the last several months has underscored the depth, intensity and persistence of Epstein’s connections to the global elite.

NEW: Trump’s approval among Catholics falls to a historic low. A rising movement of Catholics, emboldened by Pope Leo, is turning against MAGA. With over 20,000 members, we are the fastest-growing Catholic group in America. To the MAGA purveyors of cruelty and lies — we will defeat you.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News. Homicides in NYC... 1990: 2,262 1993: 1,927 1998: 629 2001: 649 2013: 335 2019: 320 2021: 488 2024: 382 2025 (as of 12/28): 302

Mark Cuban: Dems are “not offering any solutions and they’re certainly not saying ‘Break up the big insurance companies, break up the big hospital networks.’ At least if they said that, it would show that they understood what the hell was going on.” lnk.thebulwark.com/3L9cCFO

Link to the now-redacted version:

Mark Kelly says Pete Hegseth's reported double tap strike on a boat "seems to" be a war crime, and adds, "if what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We are not Iraq"

What is the Post trying to? Sounds like it has made the final step from being a world class journalist paper to be a mouthpiece of the crazy right. What’s happened to uncovering and reporting facts!

Trump Called a Canadian Ad Fake. It Faithfully Reproduces Reagan’s Words.

The Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal has published a blistering editorial claiming that America’s Founding Fathers would be confounded by President Donald Trump’s pardoning of a cryptocurrency kingpin.

(slaps bar counter) “Alright, Chip, let’s have those car keys”

CHRIS CHRISTIE (a Republican): “This is no longer the Department of Justice. What it is now is a Capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so.”

Former DOJ lawyer Erez Reuveni was ordered to tell a judge that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was an MS-13 gang member and terrorist. "That is not factually correct." Reuveni: "They did everything to him in violation of his due process rights. What's to stop them if they decide they don't like you anymore?"

Trump hates this photo of him. Definitely don't share it far and wide today.

Today, Mike Johnson will continue to keep the House adjourned for the 71st day out of the last 83, with Republicans refusing to show up to work again to avoid having to vote on the Epstein files or negotiate with Democrats. Epstein Shutdown

Amazing thing about this isn’t even that none of it is true (none of it is), but that on Sunday morning, every news show will have Republicans on to soft-pedal some similar fiction to cover for the fact that ICE is literally kidnapping people in the streets and Republicans shutdown the government.

"The American Founders were very much on the side of good fences. Good fences are what we tend to call guardrails. And they make for good, free government." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-good-f...

Trump says he will “have to take a look at” a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell after the Supreme Court rejected her appeal today. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
