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.

As a wise woman said, it is profitless to speculate on error.
Voices and Vaccines@voicesandvaccines.bsky.social · 16h agoWhy isn’t the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine campaign not effective in the same way? Why do vaccinated people become infected, carry, and spread disease to other vaccinated people? Why do vaccinated make the majority of all metrics?
WTF This is a blue state

I listened while waiting for my pup’s chemo (she’s good). No self-awareness
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 18h ago🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:
The worst part is Tillis and Cornyn are lame ducks. They aren’t coming back, and have no reason to vote yes.
Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov · 20h agoYou could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.
TBF, our family always wipes but if we get nothing we call it an angel wipe.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 18h agoOh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Anything? Somebody has the chance to do the funniest thing ever.

So now that he understands how women feel, he’s going to help the Epstein survivors, right?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 23h agoMoreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"
Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.
Politico@politico.com · 2d agoMichigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.
great reporting from @drewharwell.com as usual
Drew Harwell@drewharwell.com · 3d agoNew: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo
Ok but does this mean Trump will take back his pardon for Jeanine’s ex-husband?

I’m putting in a good word for pet insurance. 🐾 My oldest pup was diagnosed with oral cancer at the end of May. She’s been getting monthly chemo, and aside from needing canned food, has had a happy pup summer. 🐕🦺 If it weren’t for her insurance, I’d be out $12k already. They pay 80%. 🦮
AIPAC is a toxic brand in American politics. As it should be. Taking tens of millions from AIPAC should be disqualifying. But frankly taking millions from any special interest should be. The anti-Epstein Class, anti-corruption mood of 2026 can help with that. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
