Like rats from a sinking ship: “Last month, Pirro offered prosecutors in her office a $25,000 retention bonus to stay for the next two years, according to people familiar with the matter.” The office is irredeemably screwed up and will stay that way as long as she’s in charge
For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.
Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 15h agoTrump: "I think we should be given an A+ on the economy"
Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.
He feels badly for a guy who broke his daughter’s collarbone
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 15h agoQ: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.
MacFarlane: I think it's an anti-establishment era we may be entering here. Look at all the different ways in which people are bucking against establishment. If El-Sayed is somebody who channels people who don't want the establishment to run and to reign, he's going to have a big night…
🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters have rejected a ballot measure to limit their own ability to pass amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that fueled extraordinarily high voter turnout in Tuesday’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution
Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure, not...

I guess Max Miller figures that some Ohio voters keep reelecting Jim Jordan so he might as well stay in.
BIG: Kansas just rejected a ballot measure that would have required state Supreme Court justices to be elected rather than appointed by the governor — dealing another setback to Republicans trying to overturn a decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.
Judge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Trump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)
At least all those expensive weapons went to a good cause: Allowing greedy Donald Trump to get rich from manipulating the stock market. Glory!

Well…yes. You CAN rein in the president. Try…reading the Constitution and CHECKING the executive. My God.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
Doesn't make it any better. Or less of a lie. Or less cowardly.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 23h agoFull quote: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president when he said he likes the fund, that he wishes it still exists, but the fact of the matter it's dead and that's all we could do under these circumstances."
Has it been explained why the White House needs a helipad right outside the door? Is it because he can’t walk across the lawn anymore?
Folks on the other site are up in arms about the brief "administrative" stay Judge Burroughs issued in the Somalia TPS case—because, they claim, this kind of relief isn't a thing. Of course, when Texas judges issued much longer "administrative" pauses of Biden policies, these folks were ... silent.
Bonus 105: More "Administrative Stay" Shenanigans in Texas
A new emergency application in an immigration case provides an important opportunity for Justice Barrett to enforce her skepticism about open-ended "administrative stays."

OUCH — @GovBillLee just endorsed Charlie Hatcher in TN-5 over openly bigoted extremist incumbent Rep Andy Ogles www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...
Trump called Max Miller and told him “things aren’t looking good,” warning his reelection bid would be difficult following reports that Miller assaulted his ex-wife and their child. They don’t care that he’s a serial abuser, only that they win. www.axios.com/2026/08/04/t...

The House is on vacation, after accomplishing nothing since their last vacation.
NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections
Trump’s DOJ has lost its 20th consecutive voter roll data grab — this time in Colorado. The judge found that unredacted state voter rolls aren’t records to which the department is entitled under federal law, echoing the conclusions of every other DOJ voter roll lawsuit. https://demdock.com/45Ej0vb
