When did intelligence become a thing to be mocked? Why the glee when others suffer? Let’s change this! #Angret
This party sure does love to run cover for pedophiles.

ICE set a record in July. 51,000 arrests. Yet…we watch the biggest criminal in US history…walk around unscathed.
H/t to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for reminding me of this article by @natashabertrand.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com documenting how Trump's purge of the DOJ and FBI in his first term focused on experts in money laundering and organized crime. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Trump’s Top Targets in the Russia Probe Are Experts in Organized Crime
Some of President Trump’s favorite targets in the Russia probe have spent their careers in the Justice Department and the FBI investigating organized crime and money laundering, particularly as they p...

In Tucker’s recent interview with his favorite Holocaust-denying “historian,” TC is shocked to learn that the Bolsheviks erected a statue to Judas in Moscow. The only problem is, there is no evidence that this ever happened. But who cares about evidence when you have a fascist narrative to push?
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.

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Three things about Trump that are unmistakable: 1. He is increasingly disconnected from reality. 2. He is increasingly desperate to convey grandiosity and avoid humiliation - this drives him. 3. His health - physical, mental, and neurological - is worsening, adding impatience.
The fact that this man and this situation is STILL so normalized - putting the whole world in danger, to the point of compromising all that's good about humanity - just to further greed, lust, ambition, and proximity to power - it's astounding. It renders me speechless. I am without speech.
Demonization of the Left is now the primary strategy of the Right. The fact that their demonization is in the form of falsehoods, cartoonish hyperbole, and misstated epithets, shows you how they got nothing, they don't serve The People, and they're speaking only to a dwindling hardcore base.

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Whoever advised Max Miller to go on to Jake Tapper’s show secretly hates him. What a catastrophic interview
The left: we want the Epstein files The right: we want the Epstein files The center: we want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is Fauci’s diary, some lies about the reflecting pool, and a failed war in Iran
Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.
It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.
Three banks. One trafficker. $1.4 BILLION in suspicious Jeffery Epstein transactions they all sat on for years. Here's what JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of America did.
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

Witness a Congress in contempt of itself.
Max Berger@maxberger.bsky.social · yesterdayThe U.S. Senate is about to advance the nomination of a man who has helped Trump unconstitutionally evade releasing the Epstein files, and tried to use federal funds to pay insurrectionists. If the purpose of the U.S. Senate is to defend against tyranny, it has failed in its purpose.
Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Todd Blanche claims to stand for law enforcement, but he supports an insurrectionist slush fund. His rehearsed lines are meant to protect Donald Trump’s feelings. That’s the through line—he’s the President’s lawyer.
