This would amount to a complete capitulation from the US. Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.

El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."

Deeply interested in the social/psychological reasons why ppl like Musk or Trump are seemingly unique in being able to spew loads of documentably false bullshit and yet still have the exact same ppl they lied to before hang on their every new word

Just a note that @jbendery.bsky.social is 100% worth following. Always finds stories like these that matter, and yet are a bit under the radar.

Former J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

Three months until midterms and … Media: Trump “would be assassination attempts” news on the rise ✅ Near Future: Caravans emerging from Latin America ❓ Boosted: a few angry DSA folks will talk about no borders, no prisons, no Senate, and MSM will gobble it up and spit it out as party policy ✅

Polymarket gamblers nearly split down the middle on El-Sayed verse Rodgers in November… Tiny lean to AES this morning. Minuscule. This will be interesting to follow over the next few months.

Stop calling them "data centers." Start calling them pollution centers. 🧵👇

Republicans giving Trump IRS immunity after Capital One closed his bank accounts for money laundering should be a bigger story. How is that not possible????

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.

The garbage, utterly f*cked up White House we have because of our garbage, utterly f*cked up president And you're paying for every cent of this nonsensical vanity-project slop White House reporters say Trump spends 70% of his mental energy focusing on this sh*t rather than you

“.. called the event a ‘roaring success’ on a conference call with analysts Monday, saying it would pay off in the long term ..” @bloomberg.com $TKO www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Spoiler alert. And then they all did. The End.

Sen. Whitehouse makes clear that any Republican who votes to confirm Blanche is giving him their blessing to continue the Epstein cover-up.

In case you’re wondering who’s really “begging for a deal”

The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

It sure looks like the U.S. has spent $100 billion and left 18 Americans dead and 600 injured in order to hand control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran and do nothing about nuclear proliferation except encourage it.

I knew it was bad, but this is way beyond what I had imagined. So horrible. #fires #wildfires

BREAKING: ​The newly elected Prime Minister of Hungary announced that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary.

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh

Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: The Trump family DOES NOT TO HAVE TO PAY TAXES, can not be audited, can not be convicted of any tax evasion crimes EVER IN THE HISTORY of their criminal financial organization. THANKS GOP.

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.

JUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
