Blanche rescinding his previous order merely provides cover for Tillis and Cornyn to buckle under Trump’s boot and confirm Blanche’s appointment. It’s hardly a shining example of moral integrity.

This situation is very upsetting. Once again, Corporations get a taxpayer-funded windfall. We get higher prices and smaller sizes. open.substack.com/pub/monicaan...
You Paid The Illegal Tax. Apple Got The Refund.
$166 billion in unlawful tariffs is flowing back to 330,000 corporations. Not $1 is coming to the people who actually paid it.

Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?
RFK Jr.: “You probably don’t understand this as you’re not a scientist.” Dana Bash: “You’re not a scientist either.”

The Interior Dept. and the DOJ case against the Olympian were just like the reflecting pool job: it didn’t hold up.
These people are mad at Dr. Fauci because he told them to wear a mask during a deadly pandemic.
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
Donald Trump is the first president in the history of the United States to have hundreds of his own bank accounts closed by a financial institution under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
Do you remember when Trump said Iran was “begging for a deal”? Today Iran says they aren’t even talking. So maybe the begging was coming from inside the White House all along. What a sh*tshow from a self-described stable genius.
New: Investigators believe a cyberattack this week on dozens of municipal water systems in Minnesota was probably the work of Iranian hackers, a potential act of aggression that comes at a precarious moment in the U.S. war against Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...
U.S. Sees Iran as Likely Behind Cyberattack on Minnesota Water Systems (Gift Article)
Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary. There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.

Insane, ugly thing to tweet. Here's the AIPAC candidate. Wow.
I think it’s really cool that 55 countries hate private equity so much they said “fuck off, FIFA, if you sell the World Cup we’re starting our own tournament”
News: The U.S. economy grew at a disappointing 1.5% in the 2nd quarter of 2026. Congratulations to @sarahbca.bsky.social for her “Bookmark this” comment last December when Howard Lutnick said 2Q of 2026 would be “amazing.” @atrupar.com
Our State Department isn’t just the lazy, stupid student who uses AI to do their homework, our State Department is *so lazy and stupid* it doesn’t even check the homework before turning it in.
For most Americans, a life insurance policy is the closest thing to a promise money can make: pay in for decades, and when you die, the company will be there to pay out. That promise has always rested on one assumption: insurers are conservative by nature. That assumption is being tested.

“I would, I would recommend it. and I would recommend it to a lot of people that don’t want to get it. it’s a great vaccine, it’s a safe vaccine, and it’s something that works.” - DJT, 2021
RFK recently claimed, without an iota of evidence, that “children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism.” Republicans are fine with that kind of quackery, but want to throw in jail a distinguished physician & researcher who has spent decades battling to protect American health.
Anthony Fauci has faithfully served the American people under seven presidents of both parties. Alleging some ridiculous partisan narrative shows just how invested Trump’s sycophantic followers are and how little rational thought or substantive evidence they require to form an opinion-John Pavlovitz
When it comes to Ran Paul’s effectiveness & credibility, I am conflicted. In some interviews, he strikes me as ideological but intelligent; other times, he resembles a conspiracy nut & an unobjective buffoon. In today's Senate subcommittee hearings with Dr. Fauci, he absolutely resembles the latter.
Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.
The best national futbol teams look like the world. France, England, the U.S.—deep, diverse talent pools win tournaments. Countries obsessed with shutting out immigrants aren’t “protecting identity,” they’re shrinking their future roster. In a global game, that’s self-sabotage.
