We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.
When this nation’s first president chopped down one cherry tree, he was honest and contrite. When the current president chopped down a slew of cherry trees, he did so in violation of a court order—and didn’t give a shit.
How appropriate that the “freedom fuel” gas stations were selling stolen fuel. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?
So the USA is stealing Venezuelan oil and entrenching a new dictator in power to oppress the Venezuelan people. There needs to be a reckoning for all this.
Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties. From the article: Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets: Dallas: +129,000 Collin: 56,000 Denton: 56,000 Tarrant: + 73,000
Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate Race
If you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

📌I've had it with the "marches don't accomplish anything" people. THEY are why we are in this damn mess. While these condescending, privileged slobs stay at home fondling their phones for self-gratification, real people are in the streets standing against the most dangerous party in history. 1/2
That is 6% of Texas voters. That is HUGE. I hope folks who care about voting spend some of their energy trying to help Texans who are being disenfranchised. Texans, please check your own voter registration, and help those you love check theirs. 👇🏽 goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/...

I never would have predicted that cutting 20% of the staff at the federal agency that makes sure our food is safe would result in a bunch of our food being declared unsafe.

Mediaite@mediaite.com · yesterdayFBI Reportedly Loosens Hiring Rules So ‘Prostitution and Bestiality’ Are No Longer ‘Automatic Disqualifiers’
So… let me see if I get this straight… If you’ve participated in prostitution, stealing from your employer or beastiality … Those are no longer deal breakers for you working for the FBI? What The Fuck Are Y’all Doing 🤷♂️ www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-can...
At the FBI, a history of hiring prostitutes or stealing from employer may no longer be a barrier to being hired
In June, the FBI quietly lowered some of the standards it uses when it conducts background checks on would-be federal agents and other personnel.

This isn't being taken seriously enough. I'm terrified. We all should be. “If we don't control it where it is, it is extremely likely to go somewhere else, and it's not just the neighboring countries that are at risk, but any country that one can fly to, which is everywhere in the world.”

“Paxton’s a poor campaigner. He’s lazy and doesn’t raise money. And he basically is not offering a very compelling case for his election. He’s making this harder than it needs to be. But so be it — we are where we are.” - A notably pessimistic John Cornyn www.texastribune.org/2026/08/28/j...
