Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
MSNBC has been yapping for 40 minutes about how the Michigan Senate race is so close...meanwhile, Abdul El Sayed's number keeps widening
One thing that gives me confidence...Mike Rogers thought it would be smart to put out an AI-generated video at a time when people absolutely LOATHE AI
David Ellison wants us to know he’s not ideological, and that’s why he put a conservative with no tv experience in charge of CBS
I love that Perry Johnson appears to have wasted like $40 million of his own money on this race #Michigan
We could fix the world with a room full of federal public defenders....never had anything but a wonderful interaction with a FPD
One thing people should notice, Dems are turning out in almost 2X the numbers of GOP in Michigan so far for this
The Big Ugly Bill, passed by Republicans slashes Medicare by over 500 billion dollars starting January 1. Seniors, veterans, disabled people - all pay the price for billionaire tax cuts. Its past time to vote Trump’s Republican enablers in Congress out of office in November. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Remember every politician who promised to “protect Medicare.” Then look at the policies they’re backing. The receipts matter. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.” From the archives:

I want to remind everyone that tomorrow we get a new episode of Ted Lasso (and boy do we need it)
1) What the actual F*CK does the kind of spending have to do with the impacts of deficit spending? 2) Slightly up? Trump has spent so much money that drunken sailors are looking sideways...so tired of this horse 💩
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 16h agoBREAKING: Republicans are no longer worried about deficits and debt Bessent: "I'm not as bothered by it ... if '26 is flat to slightly up, this isn't wasteful social spending "

A days-long electronic warfare drill was one of the causes behind the loss of a four-passenger medevac flight.

This does appear to be the problem in a nutshell. And an especially stupid nutshell at that: If they hate women's sports as much as they clearly do, why are they worried about some dude buying a wig and claiming to be a dudette???
Norm Charlatan@normcharlatan.bsky.social · 17h agoPeople who haven’t watched the WNBA because they think women’s sports suck believe Juwanna Mann is a documentary.
Awww….That idiot (aka Putain de Merde) in the White House missed the legal deadline for screwing up birthright citizenship. I liked the cartoon. I don’t care who boots him out of our country.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Remember, one of the tech overlords main goals is to create their own mini-states where they have zero regulations and have their own citizen slaves (no really, they all write about it)
Jenny Cohn@jennycohn.bsky.social · 21h ago😳 On August 6, Argentina will vote on a proposed Land Reform Law aiming to facilitate the purchase of rural land in Argentina by private investors. It seems they are preparing to “celebrate” with Peter Thiel. The bill was written by Sturzenegger who will appear at this Sept event with Thiel. 1/
It’s Amy Coney Barrett all over again. Collins, facing reelection, will vote no on an anti-abortion nominee who gets confirmed anyway
Alice Miranda Ollstein@alicemiranda.bsky.social · 18h agoBREAKING: Susan Collins cited our report on Blanche's promise on a private call with religious activists to restrict abortion pills in announcing today she will not vote to confirm him. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h agoSen. Jim Banks refers to American citizens as "the babies of invaders" and compares them to Nazi spies and terrorists
Yeah, I'm totally over-reacting to think these folks would happily throw people in camps.

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 · 18h agoSusan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics
There are no trans women in the WNBA. There are no trans women NCAA basketball players. Hell, who knows if there are even any trans girls playing HS basketball.
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 18h agoDid we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?
Good. Everyone should rally around the winner.
Scott MacFarlane@macfarlanenews.bsky.social · 22h agoNo matter who wins tonight's primaries in Michigan, the state Democratic party is launching a rally for all of the top nominees on Friday in Detroit. Pete Buttigieg will join the event - seeking to unify, after a blistering fight between Abdul El-Sayed & Rep. Haley Stevens
The funny thing is that even Grok is like "yo, this is bullshit." But then the replies to that are "you can't trust Grok, it's too woke." Being on X melts your brain.
Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · yesterdayThese guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.
Miller is a piece of shit. But be cautious about calling family photos of nude toddlers "CSAM." I've written about lives ruined over allegations that turned out to be harmless photos of kids taking a bath or running naked through the house. Moreno is already calling for prosecutions, here.
Max Miller’s lawyer admits to accidentally releasing ‘private images’ of daughter
Lawyers for ex-wife Emily Moreno said possible “Child Sexual Abuse Material” was included in a trove of documents the Ohio lawmaker publicly posted.

I mean yeah, it’s the corruption. But it’s also that he impulsively spends billions and makes policy the way most rich dudes buy luxury sports cars. He heard about it on the golf course and now he has to have it. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/c...
Trump’s Fixation on Arctic Ships Led to Billions in No-Bid Contracts
The president decided to buy 11 polar icebreakers after a game of golf with Finland’s president. Experts say it’s far from clear the United States needs so many.
