The war in Iran has shown that Trump’s inability to perceive reality has become truly dangerous. Iran is a disaster, but Trump’s irrationality could create other, even more perilous situations. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Trump’s Irrationality Is Dangerous
The president’s recent rant is a sign of serious dysfunction in the Oval Office.

Dana Bash showed in this interview exactly how to handle a gaslighting sociopath. This is precisely how journalists should deal with all of them, including Trump.

Operation Epic Clusterfuck Is being run by assclowns. I believe that the proper term for all of this is a clownfuck. Yes. I'm retired military. 31-years. Yes. I've written war plans - logistics plans. Much of which is now doctrine. Killing people and breaking things is the easy part.
False equivalence from an equivocating but unequivocal coward.

It’s taken me 47 years, but some kind of switch flipped this year and I’ve gotten really into the Grateful Dead. www.npr.org/2026/08/03/n...
How long will the Grateful Dead's songs survive?
The Grateful Dead endured an original run of 30 years, but its appeal has survived just as long in a world where the band no longer exists. The question now is not whether the music will continue, but...

WATCH: @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social explains why Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn may be caving to Donald Trump in their final months of their Senate careers despite initially saying they opposed Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General. #LastWord
James Talarico: Today is the the anniversary of Ken Paxton’s famous mugshot. What's fascinating about that story is that he was scamming his own friends. If Ken Paxton is willing to scam his own friends for a quick buck, what makes you think he's not going to scam you in the United States Senate?
Image from Trump fundraising email with subject line, "I believe He saved me for a reason!!" The reason, of course, is to "Make America Great Again." Trump assures his supporters that "the steady compass of Faith has guided my hands through it all."
Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon calls for white people to recolonize African nations: "We're going to help you build a society and we're also going to catechize you and teach you Christ. And if you try to harm anyone, we'll kill you. But we love you." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Here's the most important thing that I do know about Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: If he does win the Michigan U.S. Senate Democratic Primary this Tuesday, then I will send him direct financial support to help him defeat Mike Rogers. Can you make the same commitment to Rep. Haley Stevens if she wins...
I had not mentioned Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in my original post. I've watched several interviews of Dr. El-Sayed. The reason that I did not mention him is because he does not claim to be a DSA member. But then, I'm sure that you knew that...
