Q: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.

We can verify the daily physical status of a specific Seattle raccoon but apparently we're completely unable to determine whether a United States Senator is alive or dead.

Mitch McConnell is getting leg lengthening surgery. He plans to return to the Senate in October and 8 feet tall.
Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.
At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.
The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.
interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”
tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

President Trump just gave a speech about voter fraud. Someone has been committing voter fraud — and his name is Ken Paxton. He was just caught voting from the wrong address 6 elections in a row. If the President wants to investigate voter fraud, he should start with Ken Paxton.

val@trickycrayon.com · 3w agoThis framing is so disgusting and irresponsible. Yes, Taylor Farms supplies Taco Bell. THEY ALSO SUPPLY TONS OF OTHER RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES. People will take "avoid Taco Bell" as the lesson which is NOT HELPFUL. www.wcvb.com/article/cycl...
This, to me, is the important part of the speech that mattered. Trump clearly wants DHS to take a greater role in interfering in elections. DHS should have NO ROLE WHATSOEVER in the state election administration. PERIOD.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoMullin claims DHS will “scrub all election records” and asserts that dead people are voting
Ossoff: "Tonight I heard a failed president desperately casting out for excuses to meddle in the upcoming election if he can, or to discredit the result when he loses decisively as I expect he will"
Ossoff: "We restore checks and balances by winning this election overwhelmingly"
Andy Beshear is ambitious of higher office, & has a great record for it. One thing that's missing is a serious Fight credential. Given the ruthless GOP supermajority in the KY legislature, there hasn't been much opportunity for it. But this would be an opportunity for him to acquire some Fight cred

These statements getting lazier over time is the predictable result of them not facing consequences for their previous murders. Why would they make up some convoluted reasoning to explain themselves? They don't have to
David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social · 3w agoWHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

If ICE can kill anyone it wants with impunity, then none of us have any meaningful rights. It’s that simple.
