It looks like another frivolous Trump lawsuit -- this one vs the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch over the Epstein birthday-card story -- is going down in flames. I've lost track how many of these never get to the discovery, much less the trial, phase. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

Lifelong Republican endorses Mary Peltola for US Senate, Alaska, because she understands working-class struggles better than the people supposedly on his own side. This is what happens when we build something bigger than party lines. Keep the momentum. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Attacking the 700,000 Michiganders who voted for Haley Stevens ain't gonna get it. Abdul El-Sayed needs to cut this loud mouthed fucker loose.
This December when the Medicaid cuts from Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill really start, we will all be in trouble. My son who suffers from cystic fibrosis is on a medicine that costs $380. 00 a year. I have stage four cancer and Medicaid covers the cost. Who knows after December. People will die .
ICE is repeatedly trying to abduct US citizens. They've also taken hundreds of thousands of our kind, law abiding neighbors and put them in these godforsaken, torture camps that Trump invested in & makes a profit off of each person who's put in these hellholes. #BlueWaveIn90Days
This would amount to a complete capitulation from the US. Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.
Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · 21h agoDays before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...
Dying at the right-wing activists that (1) held a call with Todd Blanche in which Blanche made a lot of anti-abortion promises, (2) said "uh this is off the record" like doing so would magically ward off journalists, and then (3) UPLOADED IT TO THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
Whenever one of these freaks goes off on a tangent about their trans conspiracy of the day, the proper response -- from an interviewer or anyone else -- is "well, it seems like you're having some sort of mental breakdown here, so we'll wrap it up"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4h agoRoyce White is now ranting about "transgender sex dolls" during a forum that is supposed to be about agricultural issues. This guy is a serious Republican in Minnesota who had the party's nomination for a Senate seat two years ago. Insanity.
Something real is happening in rural Iowa. Voters who backed Ernst, Grassley, & Trump are turning out for Josh Turek because they’ve finally had enough. That’s not a fluke; it’s a movement building right in front of us, and we’ve got 90 days for it to keep growing! #BlueWaveIn90Days
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.

I’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

What a surprise, the alleged abuser was jacking himself up on testosterone.
Minnesota will stand as a firewall against any and all attacks on reproductive freedom. We were the first state to establish an ironclad right to abortion after the Dobbs decision and we will remain an island of freedom for those seeking to make their own healthcare decisions.

We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.

Stop the false equivalence. No other President sued his own government to secure immunity for himself and his family, created a fund to reward cop beaters, and demanded prosecution of his political enemies. Trump’s weaponization of DOJ is unprecedented and you just endorsed it.
