"The merging of tech and MAGA networks created a frenzy of open political corruption unlike anything in American history."
@thewalrus.ca published The Nerd Reich's introduction, which charts tech fascism's rise to power under Trump/Thiel.

Flávio Bolsonaro just lost in Brazil. Viktor Orban lost in Hungary. On Tuesday Benjamin Netanyahu will lose in Israel. Come next Tuesday we will win the midterms and take first step to destroying MAGA and putting Trump in prison! (That must be our goal)
The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...
🎯 @mikenellis.bsky.social : “If @scottjenningsky & Thune can have calls with McConnell, he should be able to shoot a proof of life video… they know the special election deadline is 8/3.”
If they’re Weekend At Bernie’s-ing Mitch to 🦆 an election that should be a crime. (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Constitutional law expert Melissa Murray spoke to me about how the signers of the Declaration of Independence would've viewed Donald Trump in very similar way they viewed King George. In sum, they would urging us to rise up! youtu.be/wd1pvkMZTWs?...
WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK?
📬 Two Trump executive orders attacking mail voting were blocked in court
📮 USPS chief testified that mail ballots won’t be delivered unless states hand voter lists over to Trump
🏠 Trump threatened a bipartisan housing bill to push the anti-voting SAVE America Act
🔥 Joy Reid: “Israel does not represent all Jewish people any more than Saudi Arabia represents all Muslims. Let’s stop pretending this foreign country equals Jewish people. My friends who are Jewish got nothing to do with no Bibi Netanyahu." @joyannreid.bsky.social@deanobeidallah.bsky.social
BREAKING: In a win for Pennsylvania voters, a federal judge dismissed the DOJ’s lawsuit for access to the state’s unredacted voter rolls.
The department is now 0-10 in its sweeping legal effort seeking private voter data.
Of course the Oligarchs will sue to protect their power. This is all I need to know to fully support the bill. If some Koch group is trying to block it, it must be a great bill for the people!
Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections.
Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it.
Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:
He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.
Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.
Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.
Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.
UNREAL: "War in Lebanon has wounded or killed the equivalent of one classroom of children daily a top official of the U.N. children's agency said. At least 111 children have been killed and 334 wounded in Israeli strikes on Lebanon since March 2." Yet the world is silent!!!
As I stated on MSNOW: There is no rift in MAGA base over the Iran war. Polls show 90% of MAGA support war. Yes, Trump campaigned against wars but MAGA will support whatever Trump wants. That is the real story because it reminds us MAGA is a FASCIST movement. There only ideology is loyalty to Trump!
Just-resigned Trump counterterrorism chief Joe Kent explains to Tucker how Trump may have strengthened the hand of the more militaristic, less “moderate” elements in Iran who never wanted to negotiate with us in the first place
HASSAN: If directed by the president to take an action that would break the law, would you follow the law or the president?
MULLIN: The president would never ask me to do that
HASSAN: Well certainly everyday Americans who have served on juries would disagree with that
Netanyahu was not punished after his genocide in Gaza so now he's targeting Christians and Muslims in Lebanon. The humanitarian crisis in Lebanon is exploding yet the world is silent. Netanyahu is the Putin of the Middle East and should be sanctioned the same way! time.com/article/2026...
Essential workers at TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard & CISA have gone a month with no pay. All because Republicans refuse to negotiate a DHS funding plan that stops Trump’s inhumane & rogue mass deportation agenda.
Crockett: "What if someone from another country said 'We're gonna bomb America bc we have a warrant for the president's arrest bc of the child sex trafficking in the Epstein files.' Every single one of you sticking up for him right now would be screaming. The analysis has to be the same."
"Asked about criticism from foreign leaders about lifting sanctions on Russia, Trump trained his ire on the Ukrainian president: 'I’m surprised Zelenskyy doesn’t want to make a deal. Tell Zelenskyy to make a deal because Putin’s willing to. Zelenskyy's far more difficult to make a deal with.'"
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
Israel got a useful idiot from America to invade IRAN to take the focus off what they’re doing. Netanyahu is waging a propaganda war against Beirut. He’s intent on destroying Lebanon.
Yehuda Shaul explains how Netanyahu has used the Iran War as cover for the accelerated resettlement of the West Bank, expulsion of its population and preparations for its annexation to Israel. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
A large number of missiles have hit Tel Aviv.
Seems odd there are no photos or video.
It's been suggested that anyone publishing photos or videos during or after attacks will face 5 years in prison.
Iranians have a "misguided religion", says a man who helped facilitate the transport of five red heifers from Texas to Tel Aviv because many evangelical Christians believe a red cow needs to be sacrificed to usher in the End Times.
This is one of the videos the NYT has verified and links to in their reporting.
NYT: "Video verified by [NYT] showed ... rescuers digging through the rubble with building cranes and shovels, and piles of bloodied, dusty backpacks."

“We said: “No More Foreign Wars! No More Regime Change!” But Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons! Yeah, sure. We've been spoon fed that line & Trump told us that his bombing "wiped it all out." It’s always a lie & it’s always America Last.”

Explosions reported in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly at Prince Sultan Air Base. The base hosts US troops supporting Patriot missile batteries and THAAD systems. #Iran
Americans woke up this morning to images of bombs being dropped on Iran. Michigan GOP members are all in line behind Trump who at one point said "no new wars" while Dems have urged for peace.
