This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.
It's sad the way Seattle voters have lost touch with the Seattle Times editorial board.
So far, voters overwhelmingly approve Seattle library levy

Man, if Putin had told Trump exactly what he wanted the US to do to help Iran and Russia and hurt Ukraine, it would have been exactly what Trump did in his war. This is a Russian strategic dream we are watching.
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP: Only in America can you try to overthrow the government, get convicted for trying to overthrow the government, get pardoned by the President and then get paid by the President for trying to overthrow the government. Just shaking my head.
Had an incredible interaction with a guy over the weekend who went to see The Odyssey and told me he was pissed that Elliott Page played Achilles, a character Elliott Page did not play that was not in the movie
Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
Is it me or did the Capital One affair not really break through On Here Another day, another scandal that would have tanked basically any other presidency
Ladies, when in doubt. Buy a baseball bat and practice your swing. These people are unhinged lunatics.
Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.
David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · yesterdayToday's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

I'd rather live next to a wind farm than a data center.
The president of the United States is an enemy to the United States.
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
Why do these people concoct such bizarre hypotheticals? Like, we’ll worry about LeBron playing high school girl’s roundball when LeBron goes out for the JV team but this is not an actual thing that is happening.

Yes, exactly. And frankly, "Big Balls" should spend the next 10 years shuffling in and out of courtrooms defending himself from lawsuits.
That doesn’t undo the damage. When the grant is canceled, the structure that grant is intended to support goes away. It may not be possible to recreate it. People leave when they have no money. Equipment doesn’t get bought, or is given away. Labs shut down. Science dies. That’s their goal.
No country that arrested librarians and booksellers was on the right side of history. But that's what's happening in Arkansas. And this is where your whole country is headed with H.R 7661 and S 4925. Via @everylibrary.bsky.social action.everylibrary.org/arkansasact372

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."
First it was Iran to push the Epstein files off the front page. Then, when the Iran war turned into a fiasco, it was back to the 2020 election and Covid. Every crisis needs a new distraction.
