Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick

Palantir hoovering up European defence and NHS contracts whilst funnelling earnings back to the US to pay negligible corporate tax is a complete failure of digital sovereignty. European states must stop enriching tech firms that drain public coffers. Is it time to ban them? #FBPE

This 5x draft dodger, who is attempting to dismantle our constitutional republic, is the great pretender. This pretense insults everyone who who has fought for our freedoms over the 250 years of our country’s existence, including members of my family.

NEW: Todd Blanche doesn't believe in the rule of law, and John Cornyn and Thom Tillis don't care. Blanche's Sunday night moves should not save his nomination. The reaction from the pair of soon-departing Republican senators is not oversight and not principled. Tonight, at Law Dork:

They're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses. Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/30/t...

Tarrant County considers cutting 140 Election Day polling sites for November

County commissioners vote Aug. 4 on proposed reductions to the number of early voting and day-of sites for the midterms.

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

The Death of Middle-Class Tax Cuts as a Bulletproof Idea

Two Democratic senators with an eye on the White House probably thought they’d score political points with their tax-cut legislation. The overwhelming criticism suggests a sea change in the party.

Trump regularly threatens political enemies. Has he ever mistreated Putin as he has Zelenskyy? Trump accuses Ukraine of starting the wars, which is false. Putin thought Ukraine would surrender in a few days as he continued his illegal attacks on Ukrainian territory. He is a war criminal.
