The crazy thing about this race is that the same donors giving to Stevens will give to the Republican candidate to defeat her if she wins the primary.

🔥 @whitehouse.senate.gov humiliates Republicans who just voted to advance Blanche’s nomination: “Probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office.” He cites the Trump-Epstein cover up, the cop beater insurrection slush fund, etc… Blanche is in it all up to his neck.
Maybe I'm missing something but shouldn't somebody have benn watching the Ukraine War and, you know, taken notes?

So many disgusting acts by Trump, it’s easy to forget he not only pardoned J6ers, but fired any FBI agents who worked on a J6 investigation. www.mediaite.com/media/podcas...

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.
or Pelosi for Jan 6th… Or Fauci for Covid deaths… or Ukraine for starting a war with Russia…
Maximillian Potter@maxpotter.bsky.social · 5d agoAlmost as transparently unhinged as blaming a three-time Olympian for destroying the Memorial Reflecting Pool. Or the deep state-Antifa for January 6 Or …
Ahhhh I hate them so much. Such bad people.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 5d agoOne of the few real insights from Fauci's diary is that he was friendly with and gave time to console Katie Miller during her pregnancy with Covid. Then Miller blasted him. Then Paul belatedly redacted the sections featuring Miller, because political allies get privacy. people.com/dr-anthony-f...
Sure, 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.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoQ: 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.
But today in his cabinet meeting, Trump blamed it on American Democrats. Just as he has blamed things many times that Russia and China have done on Americans. He’s not a patriot, he’s the ultimate traitor.
No one can ever believe anything Trump pledges, says or puts in writing. With Trump, a deal is never a deal and nobody can count on the US for anything while he’s president. His word is garbage, agreements mean nothing, and he lies about everything.
Dr. Fauci, who saved millions of lives in the USA, is getting treatment harsher than all the Epstein perpetrators. America is fundamentally damaged to its core.
Watching Republicans insult and threaten a public scientist who worked bis entire life for the greater good is not only disgusting, but will also make decent scientists averse to working for the US govt for years to come.

What an absolutely incredible story of how Republican controlled Ohio has IMPORTED massive amounts fracking wastewater from other states, buried it underground, and created an irreparable ecological disaster. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/c...

The state is a major importer of fracking wastewater, which gets pumped underground but doesn’t always stay there. The city of Marietta is fighting back.

Michael Mechanic@michaelmechanic.bsky.social · last wk.Trump and Elon Musk gutted the IRS so it couldn't audit and investigate wealthy tax cheats. In the process, it kneecapped IRS customer service, and now everyday taxpayers—the ones who aren't cheating—are deal with the infuriating fallout, as my colleague @smencimer.bsky.social reports.
In '98, my fellow loggers and I blocked the Canadian border to fight back against billionaire landowners trying to depress our wages. Susan Collins was my Senator back then. She sided with the big landowners over us. This fall, working people will once again fight back - and send Collins packing.

Dalia Grybauskaitė, former President of Lithuania: I first met Putin in Helsinki in 2010. For us, the gas price from Russia was a huge question. We fully depended on gas supplies from Russia. And we had been paying about 30–40% more than Germany was paying, for example.
