Just a note that @jbendery.bsky.social is 100% worth following. Always finds stories like these that matter, and yet are a bit under the radar.
Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 4h agoFormer J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

The decisive failure of GOP referenda in Kansas Amendment 1 and Missouri Amendment 4 yesterday is yet another reminder of something I've been saying for a while: Voters, even Republican voters, now regularly despise and repudiate GOP attempts to use them to destroy democracy.
Whenever you read a hot take from Politico that casts Dems in an unflattering light, remind yourself that the owner asked the executives to pray for Donald Trump’s reelection. It’s propaganda.
My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.

This was always one of my fears: someday, someone would roll open that one neglected philosophy section, and I'd be found squished into Becker's "Denial of Death."

I like how every time republicans or hard centerist dems try to attack Abdul El-Sayed it causes a whole slew of people to see him and realizing he’s smart, affable, and looks like he benches three plates.
Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social · 23h ago“My guy wants to put a data center in your backyard either to give himself gender-affirming care and make a muscle video, or to portray me as a…hero?"

Apparently God’s legislative priorities include tax cuts for billionaires and taking health care and food assistance away from millions of Americans.
Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · yesterdayHouse Speaker Mike Johnson credits prayer for the passage of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": "It was impossible. There was no way to reconcile everybody and get it all together and we came in here and prayed for a breakthrough and God delivered it."
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.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"
Either he's lost his mind or he'll have you believe he really doesn't know who gave Fauci the Commendation! Either way he should not be the president of the USA! If this was Biden the right would be screaming from the roof tops?
Chris⚖️Justice@chrisjustice01.bsky.social · 5d ago🤡 Trump personally awarded Dr. Fauci a Presidential Commendation for his work on Operation Warp Speed and the COVID vaccine. But he could not even remember. #UnfitTrump @allenanalysis.bsky.social
Lost in the chatter about Todd Blanche and Trump's slush fund is the fact that anti-abortion Senators have demanded Blanche do a whole mess of things for them. The judiciary committee votes Tuesday morning. We're in the danger zone
Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com · last wk.In the past month, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee have asked Todd Blanche to: *review DOJ's stance on the Comstock Act, a law antis claim bans all abortions *force FDA to end abortion pills via telehealth to settle a lawsuit *fan flames about abortions later in pregnancy this is all Bad News
Todd Blanche made more promises during a private call that a faith group inexplicably uploaded to YouTube. Expect to see this story cited in lawsuits against the FDA when it ends telemedicine of mifepristone for no reason other than pills by mail make anti-abortion groups very mad
Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Amid AG confirmation battle, Todd Blanche assured anti-abortion activists that he's working to make Dobbs 'permanent in every single state.' Admin will act 'soon' to limit mail-order abortion drugs. w/ @alicemiranda.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
What a surprise, the alleged abuser was jacking himself up on testosterone.
A lot going on here. First, Miller looks shaken. Or drunk. Second, he comes off every bit the creep that he seems to be. Saying he isn't dropping out because Trump didn't drop out after being accused of sexual assault is a hell of a choice. And third, he doesn't appear to know what hearsay means.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 21h agoTapper: "There are now three women who have accused you of violent behavior…Are all three of these women who don't know each other lying?" Rep. Max Miller: "Yes…It's all hearsay." Tapper: "It's not hearsay if it is firsthand testimony from women."
He's accusing his ex-wife of violating their shared custody agreement because she took their daughter to the emergency room with a broken collarbone? bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 21h agoMax Miller: When I was reported for child abuse, for my daughter, for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days, and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan
They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.
Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social · 21h agoSusan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics

When a news outlet claims to have the "inside" story and its report makes a certain person look good, you can guess who served as an anonymous source. I'd wager it was Jeanine Pirro – or one of her aides, in order to give Pirro deniability.
Inside the Oval Office Showdown Between Trump and Jeanine Pirro (Gift Article)
Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, told President Trump that his interior secretary, Doug Burgum, had misled him with a self-serving cover story for his own mistakes.
