LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

I'm old enough to remember that time a Democratic senate, in the middle of a Democratic president's reelection campaign, ordered a bipartisan investigation of the president's brother's receipt of $200,000 from the Libyan government. {gift link: www.nytimes.com/1980/07/25/a...

Realize that when you sigh with relief to hear a university president finally call out the Trump administration for promoting white nationalism or stifling free speech or destroying higher ed - it's always the same guy. It's Michael Roth from Wesleyan. One voice. The others are silent.

@stevevladeck.bsky.social aka "greased lightning vladeck'"already out with a detailed analysis of what's at stake and what isn't in the Supreme Court decision in the mail ballot case. As I've said before, his substack is indispensable. www.stevevladeck.com/p/246-making...

246. Making Sense of the Mail-in Ballots Ruling

The Supreme Court’s grant of a stay in one of the mail-in ballot cases is deeply wrong, but it’s also not the main event over whether Trump’s patently unlawful executive order can take effect.

Here's the HJC pardon report that both @macfarlanenews.bsky.social and @meidastouch.com reported on. Those who complain Dems don't focus enough on Trump's corruption might look for a local connection to get this more press. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

Once you understand that this is a model of science written by non-scientists who hate universities but love venture capital and redirecting money to political allies, everything makes a lot more sense. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/22/u...

Trump’s Plan for Science: More Money for A.I., Less for Universities

Michael Kratsios, President Trump’s science adviser, proposed overhauling how the government funds research. Democrats said Mr. Trump’s actions had weakened science.
