Now that republicans are going to refer to El-Sayed by his full name, let’s agree to do that for every single elected official, like Jay Robert Pritzker and Rafael Edward Cruz.

Very scary. Wildfires, evacuations, widespread power outages, and high winds. Good thing there’s no climate change 🤦‍♀️ Be careful out there, Spokane, Washington, folks!

Image from app Watch Duty, an excellent resource, showing winds, air quality, fires, power outages, and more.

this is incredibly abnormal and scary. always a possibility this decade, extremely bizarre to experience in real time. we’ve got important stuff loaded in the car, not going anywhere at the moment because by all accounts traffic is already very bad www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

🤔 Could there be a connection between food regulations/monitoring/testing —and— food safety/need for recalls? 🤨 🤔 Should the Secretary of Health and Human Services be aware of this? 🤨

My flight is delayed so while we’re stranded on the tarmac I’m going to make a running list of things I wish Democrats would do but for whatever reasons aren’t doing?? Follow along for some fun

#ResistanceRoots Major General Smedley Butler was born on this day in 1881 in West Chester, Pa. One of the most decorated figures in U.S. Marine Corps history, he transformed into an anti-war activist and whistleblower. He exposed a plot by wealthy men to overthrow FDR and install a dictator. /1

Brigadier General Smedley Butler in uniform, ca. 1921-1929. Butler’s transformation from a decorated commander into an anti-war activist was not caused by a sudden epiphany. His final year in the military soured his view of institutional power, and his retirement freed him from military censorship. While active in the Marine Corps, he was bound by military discipline and could not publicly criticize the government. Free from the threat of a court-martial, he began using his retirement lectures to unpack the moral rot he had witnessed throughout his 34-year career.

They don’t want people to see what a wreck they’ve made of the place. Empty, echoing, failed — a mob bust-out gone wrong.* *What do I mean by that? Usually gangsters tried to keep the place going for a while as they looted it. This was a botched job. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...
