Here is the good news: DOJ is now 0-20 in lawsuits to gain access to voter files and tomorrow is the 90th day before the election which means states can't purge voters -- even if DOJ wants them to. The bad news: Trump won't give up trying to use DOJ to undermine the elections.
Personal bankruptcies increased over 50% in the last 3 years. Half a million Americans felt this was their last resort for relief in 2025. Hardworking Americans are forced into financial ruin while Trump focuses on tax cuts for his buddies. It’s insanity. www.npr.org/2026/07/29/n...
More Americans are going bankrupt. What does that mean?
The bankruptcy rate has risen about 48% between 2022 and 2025, although it's still below pre-pandemic levels.

I don’t always agree with @jadler1969.bsky.social, but I’ve always known him to be incredibly principled. He’s one of my favorite interlocutors, and when the Georgetown Law FedSoc asked me to suggest someone against whom to debate a couple of years ago, he was my first choice.
James Goodwin@jamesgoodwin.bsky.social · 22h agoThe Adler brief here is telling and suggests a major cleavage within the Supreme Court's conservative bloc.

Capitol One shut down 300 accounts belonging to Trump because they were flagged for potential money laundering. That was 2021. Imagine if this were Biden. How would America react? But yes "liberal media."
I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasing at the same time that the government is dismantling weather monitoring and alert systems.
Former congressman George Santos has been fined $35,000 by the CFTC for attempting to place bets on his State of the Union attendance in February and has been banned from Kalshi for 3 years. Let's keep holding former and current officials accountable.
George Santos got busted for manipulating political betting markets—and seems to have little remorse

Michigan, this is OUR moment. Vote Tuesday, August 4th.
James Talarico tells Rachel Maddow that if Democrats win the Senate seat he is running for, "I think we can build the political will to restore the Voting Rights Act." Watch:

With J6ers getting jobs in the justice department, and presidential memorandum NSPM-7 targeting the “left-wing” and “anti-fascists” as terrorists, it's never been more important to support those tracking the far right.

For all the chatter about @aoc.bsky.social “electability” just understand that Republicans are TERRIFIED to run against her. So much so, that they’re willing to tank a bipartisan bill thats already passed the Senate that combats AI DeepFakes just to deny her a “win”
When Trump was convicted of falsifying records while paying off porn star Stormy Daniels, MAGA ridiculed the case In truth, Trump has been committing financial malfeasance his whole life. The bankruptcies. Charities defrauded. Trump University of course This was never a bug It was always a feature

The rest of your natural life—and then some. That's how long we'll be cleaning up the mess of Trump and MAGAism. The nation as it was before is lost. It won't return. What we seek to save now isn't what used to be. It'll be something else altogether. It'll be what we make it.
Tilting at windmills...fighting imaginary vandals....believing there are hordes of non-citizen voters ... Meet Don Trumpote and his faithful sidekick Sancho Vance-a!

We are capitalist, not socialist” More than a dozen Congressional Democrats and other Dems running for office have signed a pledge to uphold centrist policies after the recent surge in progressive wins across the country. They are massively missing the point of what the voters are telling us.
This is too weird. The senator’s health did not warrant a return to the U.S.” But she left after his heart attack. Maybe he was put on an ECMO and was stable? I don’t get it.
“The EU signs up to Pax Silica, the US-led chip pact France called colonisation” France has been skeptical, “framing Pax Silica as an attempt to colonise Europe & as a direct contradiction of the sovereignty agenda the EU was…selling.” (Palantir alum Jacob Helberg spearheads Pax Silica.) 6/25/26…1/
