Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

Donald Trump stands out historically in one way. He has demilitarized the US military more quickly than any other political leader in US history. A full blown pacifist would have struggled to throw away weapons faster than he has.

$50 billion snapped into existence for GEO detention real estate proves homelessness and hunger were always solvable. Corrupt Trump and his Republican puppets chose cages over compassion, and that’s a choice we won’t forget. #RepublicanCostOfCorruption

maga will accept as leaders rapists, pedophiles, white supremasicsts, wife beaters, con artists, conspiracy theorists, absolute morons, paid foreign agents, & people who are *all* of those things but you can't be even slightly pro-immigration, that's the line newrepublic.com/article/2138...

MAGA Erupts at Trump DHS Chief—and Accidentally Exposes Big MAGA Scam

Markwayne Mullin just said the unsayable: that immigration can sometimes help the economy and the country. Now MAGA wants his head.

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

Until Trump, the seat of the American presidency was a comparatively understated set of buildings, intentionally and thoughtfully designed to communicate the ideal of democratic modesty. After Trump, it will be a sprawling palace complex, caked in marble and gold. Repulsive.

NEW REPORT: Senator Wyden says @MarshaBlackburn “declined to support Wyden’s effort to subpoena Epstein bank records” + “refused to cooperate with his investigation into financing of Epstein’s sex trafficking”— as she claimed to care & blamed Dems🤔 www.finance.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Ron Wyden is doing the work.

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

Processing DNA for nearly a million people in a year? No problem, ICE says. Attaching a $300 camera to an agent’s vest? Logistical nightmare. That's one of the most remarkable ironies of this great story (based on FOIA requests by @georgetownlaw.bsky.social's Center on Privacy and Technology).

ICE Collected Nearly 1 Million People’s DNA Last Year—Including Young Children

Internal documents show ICE's DNA collection has skyrocketed in the second Trump administration. Now hundreds of thousands of people never convicted of a crime are in an FBI criminal database forever.

"Only a rescission or amendment of the settlement agreement...as to which both parties would have to agree in writing, could extinguish Trump’s contractual right to compel the DOJ to fund the Anti-Weaponization Fund." (That hasn't happened.) lnk.thebulwark.com/4yXN02D

Same vibes. Nazi Germany prioritized using limited railway resources to transporting Jews to concentration camps over transporting military equipment and troops to battlefields bsky.app/profile/greg...

The Trump regime knows that local news has higher trust than national news. That's why the regime is promoting consolidation of local news chains to increase the influence of right-wing owners (see Nexstar). This is an under-appreciated aspect of the regime's "media capture" strategy.

Pew Research Center@pewresearch.org · 2d ago

Americans’ trust in local news organizations is higher overall than trust in national news. Trust in news organizations generally is lowest among U.S. adults who are the least engaged in public life. #PewKnightInitiative

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.

Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 2d ago

JUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d ago

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.

Exactly. I cringe every time I hear this term repeated. Words matter. It's a slush fund to pay off his violent supporters.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d ago

Just the fact that media calls it a “Weaponization Fund” shows utter failure to meet the moment. It’s like when you call Trump’s budget a “Big Beautiful Bill.” They get you to launder regime propaganda by creating a title that is a false characterization, which gets published.
