“Communists” and “Islamists” as Trump uses federal funds to purchase stakes in private U.S. companies including WestingHouse which will be enriching uranium for Saudi Arabia.
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
Republican lies and desperation feed the gullible rubes.
Right out of Adolf's playbook. That started THREE years ago. Tell the Berniebros. www.npr.org/2023/11/17/1...
Why Trump's authoritarian language about 'vermin' matters
The former president called his political opponents "vermin" and said immigration is "poisoning the blood" of the U.S., echoing language used by Adolf Hitler, raising questions about authoritarianism.

The “Barack HUSSEIN Obama” people are going to go all in on racism in Michigan.
When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.
So MI's at a bit greater risk But GA, NC & ME look good, and 3 of 4 in OH, AK, IA, & TX looks doable, given the national environment. So I think Democrats are at least 50-50 to take the Senate. And other states not much discussed (e.g., KS) could well be in play. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-still-...
It’s Still a Blue Wave
The fundamentals still apply after Tuesday night’s primaries. And they look good for Democrats.

"Miller, on the other hand, says he’s determined to stay in the race. And the only people who could perhaps change his mind—House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump—seem determined not to force the issue...Miller will run and lose." www.thebulwark.com/p/its-still-...

AIPAC helped Stevens lose. Remarkable shift in American politics. Wow.
Seems like a bad sign for AIPAC that here In Tennessee even Republican candidates for governor want to ride the anti-AIPAC wave Worth noting: Fritts is an extremist who wants to unconstitutionally ban Islam, have women/men/docs potentially face the 💀 penalty for abortions, etc
This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.
Michigan just proved something the political establishment doesn’t want to admit: When we organize, we WIN! Now, let’s make it happen again on Tuesday, August 11. Join @indivisible.org’s phonebank for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social on Monday and help us keep up the momentum.
1. the whole "disappointing night" thing is pure cope. El-Sayed beat the establishment candidate despite being outspent 10:1, that's an earthquake 2. primary polls are just not great and everyone needs to spend the next week going really, really hard for Peggy Flanagan
The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.
Prepare for an insane explosion of Islamophobia between now and November, from the same people on the right (and center!) who pretend to be exercised by the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry. The hate will be off the charts and make the anti-Zohran campaign look tame. Mark my words.
The experience of being chased by a murderous kamikaze drone, a flying machine that behaves as if it were alive, is not one that humans are equipped to understand: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
My town's anti-immigrant Facebook group posts about "taking our jobs" from the same people who then complain about the lack of nursing home aides. Funny how that works.
another one bites the dust. wonder how long until they try to spin this as somehow being the left's fault

The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.
I can’t even find many Republicans who are still backing Max Miller after yesterday. Except the moral paragons Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and the Republican leadership of the House.
