Polymarket allowed users to bet on whether any one of the 7 defendants in the Cornell rape case will be charged with a felony sex crime and the market did almost HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN VOLUME

Thanks for y'all's work but can you stop reducing it to "the redesign of a historic municipal golf course" when it is actually redesigning a public park to remove all access BUT to paying golfers? The greatest impact is on thousands of strollers, picnickers, joggers, cyclists who use it daily.

I’m glad alito put in writing that originalism has nothing to do with rigorous historical research and is in fact just him talking to his imaginary friends bsky.app/profile/audr...

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

The consolidation of extreme wealth, plus extreme political power, plus extremist beliefs is a threat to democracy. We need a real political reform agenda to roll back the power of the super-wealthy, especially Elon Musk. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Democrats who think they can dictate a bear hug of Israel to the party are either 1) deluded 2) about to find a new party Y'all lost that fight, whether you realize it or not. It's over and it's been over for a while now.

Blanche’s appeasement is hollow. Trump still gets immunity from tax audits worth $100 million. And last week’s payout to abortion clinic blocker shows the path to payouts to rewrite history will be individual settlements instead of one designated fund. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Over on X, this transcript of Richard Nixon is going viral with praise. It’s a reminder of how vile Nixon was, as he railed against All in the Family for “promoting homosexuality” and claimed same-sex relations destroyed the Greeks. In memory of Rob Reiner, the “hippie son-in-law” Nixon hated!

ICE is claiming the officers who killed Lorenzo Araujo in Houston didn't have bodycams bc of "two Dem shutdowns." Put aside that the GOP has the majorities. And that the OBBB gave ICE a huge shutdown-proof slush fund. Here's an article from 5 months ago abt TRUMP explicitly slow walking bodycams:

Last night Ukraine could not intercept a single Russian ballistic missile. The USA deliberately starving Ukraine of Patriot missiles is now clearly understood by the Russians as American support for their terror bombing. The USA is helping Putin kill Ukrainians.

NEW evidence shows executives from 3 egg companies plotted to raise your prices. Price fixing is ILLEGAL. But Trump’s Justice Department is giving them a mere slap on the wrist. How small? The largest egg company only has to cough up 0.001% of its profit last year. Shameful.

Xitter's community notes are working overtime calling out people trying to claim Mamdani's attempts to conserve power is socialist. This one might be my favorite.

This is a BFD. It basically says that your use of Google does not constitute consent to give your location data to the cops. It could make a good deal of the shit Trump is doing problematic.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

These geniuses don’t seem to realize passports are for American citizens, when they LEAVE the country 🤦🏼
