El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

Perspectives on nature and culture from a scientist living in the Driftless Region. Damn...it turns out "may you live in interesting times" actually IS a curse. You can't spell revolution without evolution.
The candidate who uses this as his platform will win my primary vote. I'm hopeing for Buttigeig.

El-Sayed most likely has won in Michigan. It’s weird that the sun still rose and the birds are still singing this morning…😏😀
10/ Trump feared Bernie in private. GOP operatives fear Hong in private. The receipts are public now, in black and white, straight from their own memos and recordings. Stop letting the people who want you to lose tell you who your safest pick is. Watch what they do, not what they say.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Al Jazeera: Iran has released satellite imagery showing that they have destroyed 3 F-35s and damaged 3 more. They have said that several US service members were killed in the attack, including officers. We are claiming that none of their missiles got through.
Trump sued Capital One to prove they closed his accounts over politics. The bank’s answer, filed Friday: it was the anti-money-laundering desk. Months of review. Three hundred accounts. He pulled that thread himself.

Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.
Stephen Miller needs to face capital punishment for crimes against humanity.
🚨 NEW: A $121,617 home renovation invoice used by Ken Paxton’s defense during his impeachment trial was dated September 1, 2020. But the file’s metadata shows it was actually created a month later, on a VERY significant date. We obtained the invoice. Here’s what we found:

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”
Many are woefully ignorant of our history… We Promised! We Have Not Honored Our Promise!
Should be a bigger story— “Alexandra Bravo, prosecutor investigating 🇺🇸 strikes on 3 Ecuadorian boats and survivor accounts of torture/kidnapping, shot dead… hitman on a black motorcycle opened fire… Bravo’s sister jumped to protect her, also killed…” www.dropsitenews.com/p/prosecutor...
It’s important that Trump, his family, his cabinet, his sycophants in Congress, and his oligarch friends are imprisoned so they can watch everything they have destroyed rebuilt and the wealth they have stolen taken away.
GM CEO Mary Barra is introducing Trump at his rally. Something to keep in mind if you're in the market for a vehicle anytime soon.
A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.
Disgraceful. Simply disgraceful.
“.. the Trump administration decided to remove four service members killed this past weekend from the list .. because their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...
This extreme violence is contagious. When Americans are executed in the streets and there are no consequences, no reprisals, no official inquiries, every armed law enforcement officer becomes exponentially more likely to shoot as a first rather than last resort.
Horrifying footage out of Madison, WI. Multiple officers tackle a man off his bike, swarm him on the street, and fire 3 shots at point-blank range while holding him down in the intersection. Executed in broad daylight. This isn't policing—it's state violence. Demand justice NOW!
Is that the same Saudi Arabia where most of the 9/11 hijackers came from?

Every State should be doing this. We know he's going to interfere in the election because he knows if we win, it's the end of his regime.
