Worked in the movie biz for many years. Politically progressive. Cranky. Judgmental. This does not make me wrong. I’m an Oscar voter, too. After Trump's election I say, Don’t get mad. Get even.
There really is no such thing as security, is there? Your tenure or contract is only as good as the people you are in business with. You may be 100% right, but can you afford six-figure attorneys and do you have two years of your life to prove it ? Didn’t think so. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/n...

Daily reminder that we don’t have a president. We have a mob boss posing as one.
But they’re certainly not wrong about David Ellison’s hegemony.
They’ll be b-a-a-a-ck. Do not kid yourself.
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 4h agoNotice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
If not for fake piety, Republicans wouldn’t have any piety at all.

The Bottom Line: democrats are split about how to achieve our common goals of providing the protections, services, and opportunities that Americans need; Republicans are united in doing everything and anything they can to stop us.
Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

Daily reminder to thank God that Trump wasn’t president during WW II.
Not that we need more proof that John Cornyn’s capacity for self-deception is unlimited, but here you go anyway.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃
Daily reminder that the American justice system has been designed to work for the rich, but not for you and me.

What Linda The Hamner McMahon is up to now.Just a half Nelson. Or is it a single leg takedown?
I saw a Trump supporter say, “You don’t have to like Trump but you have to respect him because he’s the president.” Sir, with all disrespect… he raped kids. I don’t have to do shit.
Trump’s “deal” is pure fantasy. Everyone can see it but the NY Times. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/w...

In Italy you can get fabulous food at a highway roadstop. There are no drive-throughs in France. At 1PM you stop what you are doing and go to a restaurant for a 90-minute lunch. Then you go back to work. But what do those European socialists know?
Daily reminder that we don’t have a president. We have a mob boss masquerading as one.
Only a fool or Republican believes this BS. The fund will be back one way or another so long as Trump is president.
