"Where the I.R.S. previously made a point of regularly auditing whoever occupies the Oval Office, Mr. Trump has leveraged his control of the federal government to instead escape the scrutiny that every other modern president, not to mention every other regular taxpayer, has been subject to."
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2d agoTillis and Cornyn’s acceptance of a loophole-filled deal with Trump and Blanche reminds us that every prominent Republican politician who has stuck with Trump over the last decade is a traitor.
Some of you are in the bathroom right now because of cut regulations
A senator is refusing to confirm the president’s personal attorney as attorney general unless the nominee rescinds a slush fund for pardoned insurrectionists in writing. That’s an INSANE SENTENCE. Oh, and I guess the tax immunity provision is totes cool.
Frum: The 20% who lived in the most pro-Trump places suffered 70,000 more COVID deaths than the 20% in the most pro-Biden places. Red America obeyed those who told them not to mask, not to vaccinate. They died for it. No, Fauci is not the villain here. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Anthony Fauci Is Not the Villain in This Story
The doctor was thrust into his pandemic-leadership role because of Trump’s deadly dereliction of duty.

Rep Rashida Tlaib has put forth a bill preventing #datacenters on fed lands. The problem is building them on public lands next to houses & rivers. So I'm confused, it bans fed land but not public? The oligarchs would love to continue building on public lands. I don't understand what I'm missing
Rep. Tlaib introduces a bill to ban AI data centers on federal lands
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) introduced the No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act, a new bill that permanently bans large AI data centers and associated infrastructure on land...

Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
What the shit is this? This is absolutely Unforgivable. As if anything the orange shit stain does is forgivable. Fucking unreal
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 5d agoSure, sure, let’s just downplay an attack by a hostile foreign actor. Iran has some of the most persistent — and effective — hackers on the planet. This is irresponsible as hell from Trump.
Republican Senator Bernie Moreno was trying to act REAL tough just days ago. But when it came to defending his own daughter, his silence spoke volumes.
The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Got 20 minutes? There have been numerous discussions of the state of #science in the #UnitedStates but none better than this one from @neildegrassetyson.com. he discusses what it means for the future of our country, or what will be left of it in 2ish years. Spend the 20 min and learn something

Texas, please put James Talerico into the senate. You will not regret it
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 7d agoTalarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.
Oh this is nothing. I'm waiting for his approval rating to hit the teams. He has plans and plans of plans and those light switch moments where he thinks of the greatest idea in the world that will destroy him. I'm really hoping the Heritage folks throw him to the Wolves without a pardon
Jenn Agiesta@jennagiesta.bsky.social · last wk.New CNN poll: 73%, a new high, say Trump is not paying enough attention to the country's most important problems. Views on the war in Iran worsen, as economic issues remain deeply negative. @aedwardslevy.bsky.social has all the details here. www.cnn.com/2026/07/29/p...
I really like this woman. 1st she is awesome for risking her life to save others. I cant imagine that experience day in & day out watching people die helpless to stop it. And then, being criticized by nobodys, let alone your family, is heartbreaking. I wish Biden had somehow recognized these people

Mitch McConnell stole two Supreme Court seats. Now ask yourself this: If McConnell were still Leader and a Democratic senator had been missing from public view for more than six weeks, what would he be doing right now? 1/2
This is brilliant
Rex Huppke@rexhuppke.bsky.social · last wk.Like most normal, well-adjusted men, I have spent every waking moment since Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” opened in theaters feeling apoplectically angry about Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” Yet it's making millions, and I'm still single.

I hope you all realize #fuckelon is making shit up & completely lying. But actually there's a third option, he lives in his own world. I did enjoy him admitting that all his companies would be fine without him. If that's the case, naturalized the illegal immigrant & catapult him to South Africa

This is outstanding. I've watched it so many times. It really appears more realistic than the still picture. Mitch looks like a dead body that they dressed up and opened his eyes. He does not look like he is alive

Trump is evil though he is stupid. Moses Mike is obviously bad & he's a fuvking puppet. Russell Voight is pure evil. But none of these idiots could hold a candle to aipac. AIPAC has their hands on nearly every congressman & senator & especially Trump. They are calling the shots.
