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.
I don't think enough has been made of the likelihood that Trump will weaponize AI against American citizens. Of course he'll test it out on immigrants (legal or not) before expanding it to US Citizens.
Trump’s Vision for A.I. Dominance Comes With Major Air Pollution. The El Paso facility’s power plant could emit as much planet-warming carbon dioxide in a year as 360,000 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles over the same period. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/c...

Donald Trump used up all of our long-range missiles to drive up our gas prices. What a genius!
EMERGENCY!!!!!!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨 Says Trump's moneybags. Tomorrow he has to turn over the financial information that has been obvious since he decided to sue on the basis that factual reporting harmed his net worth. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Honestly, at this point, Democrats should be thrilled with this -- Miller has set himself on fire and if the GOP wants to hold him close, so be it.
Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.
As a Michigan voter who is grateful as fuck I wasn't in the state for that Senate primary, I think this deserves more attention: Jocelyn Benson has a MUCH easier route ahead of her than it looked like she would in January. MUCH easier. And that's going to help unify the party.
Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.
Congratulations to @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and all the candidates up and down the ticket who earned our party’s nomination here in Michigan. Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.
A Wisconsin judge has ruled that absentee voting in the state discriminates against disabled voters — siding with groups that are seeking to force election officials to allow for electronic casting of ballots.

wait did she expect him to read
It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

10/ This is Epstein's Shadow Bank that bypasses the SEC and all US laws, money laundering like there's no tomorrow. Mezzanine Lender $ very important. Can trigger a rapid foreclosure. Somewhere it said Part 1 and Part 2. bsky.app/profile/love...
10/ Tons of info on "Mezzanine Lender" I left out above. But this from her article I did yesterday puts the basic explainer in black and white for me. Lone shark Epstein gets 7.5% because they bypass all laws, SEC, divert funds, and can money launder without fear. bsky.app/profile/love...
Seriously, if you have the time, treat yourself to the entire 25 minute interview with Max Miller. You will not believe how bad it gets.
My reaction watching this train wreck of a dumpster fire of a shitshow of an interview:
Just a note that @jbendery.bsky.social is 100% worth following. Always finds stories like these that matter, and yet are a bit under the radar.
Former J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...
The important thing to know about boots is that Dr. Martens was bought by a private equity firm a while back, the boots are now garbage in terms of construction quality, but Solovair set up to make similar boots on the old equipment in the old factory and their versions are much better quality.
My take on boots discourse is that we face a lemons problem with many consumer goods, given the acquisition of many storied brands by companies aggressively milking accumulated brand equity for higher profits, such that price and reputation for durability does not reliably predict higher roi.
Why are lobbies spending $70 million on primary races? Can anyone tell me?
🤷🏼 @timmiller.bsky.social: “Trump has lost touch with MAGA base — between the war, economy, gas prices ⬆️ , putting gold everywhere… he doesn’t even seem to have a plan. I’m not that surprised his numbers have slipped. Even his supporters are like ‘how can I get excited about this anymore?’”
