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...
ABC: A new poll found that more than half of Americans have cut down on eating out in order to pay for basic necessities. Small business restaurants will be crushed by this.
South Carolina has no state minimum wage. The floor is still $7.25 an hour. Two parents working full time at that wage bring home $30,160 a year combined, before taxes. That is not enough to cover rent, groceries, and childcare. You are not the problem. The wage is. #NewSC #JohnsonSkardon
Several Women’s March activists were arrested inside the U.S. Capitol after holding a vigil honoring people they say died following encounters with ICE. Their message was clear: “Abolish ICE.” #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
One side wants affordable gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare. The other side wants Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore and a Forever War with Iran. This November, you choose. #BlueWaveIn90Days
“They worked harder burying the #EpsteinFiles than they ever worked to lower your grocery bill. And while you pay more for everything, the Trumps are raking in BILLIONS. Illegal tariffs, failed war, healthcare cuts, unmatched corruption… presidential legacy cemented in disgrace.” @ossoff.bsky.social
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · last mo.Ossoff: I never want to hear these two pretend they give a damn about working people again. Because while hundreds of thousands of Georgians lose their health care, Mike Collins builds Trump a ballroom. They worked harder burying the Epstein files than they ever did lowering your grocery bill.
Plus, sexual harrasser Congressman Chuck Edwards (R-NC) announces at 3:32 a.m. that he will not run for re-election. But a GOP congressman who physically assaulted his wife and toddler daughter WILL run for re-election as he compares himself to Trump and considers it a winning strategy.

Donald Trump told reporters he feels "badly" for Max Miller, a Republican congressman accused of abusing his wife, and hopes Miller can "work it out." The only thing less surprising than a Republican politician abusing his wife is Donald Trump empathizing with the abuser.
I'd love to hear why my book White Flight -- which won prizes from the Southern Historical Association and the American Political Science Association -- was deemed not good enough for students at Texas A&M.

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
Taking away healthcare and food from people who paid into the system their entire lives is a MORAL failure. SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY, and access to food & medicine is a fundamental right! 🛒💔Please help sound the alarm before these cuts begin. We cannot let them starve vulnerable communities! ⚔️💪
Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · 5h agoDear @markhamillofficial.bsky.social , We need the power of the FORCE to stop what's heading our way in January. 🚨The ‘BIG UGLY Bill' is a direct assault on our most vulnerable. Millions of disabled Americans, seniors, and families face devastating, historic cuts to both MEDICAID and SNAP benefits.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
There it is!! Sen Cornyn (R-TX) says “there’s nothing we could do to rein in the president.” If impotent Republicans can’t rein him in then the Democrats will happily do it when we take back Congress in 92 days. We will reverse the #RepublicanMedicareCuts Spineless, cowards‼️
