As an Ohioan, I don't need max miller to step down. The average voter has to see, accept, & internalize that miller is the republican party. Republicans were fine with trump. They were fine with clarence & kavenaugh on the court, hastert & jordan in the locker room, and so on. Make them own it.

Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

Among other problems, the bill would impose or incentivize age-verification systems, restrict young people’s access to lawful information, and create risks that adults could lose access to accounts or data after being mistakenly identified as minors. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

60 Minutes Epstein Banking Story Vanished After CBS Ousted Sharyn Alfonsi, Dem Senator Reveals

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

Is it me or did the Capital One affair not really break through On Here Another day, another scandal that would have tanked basically any other presidency

Amazon made $77 billion in profits. It gives new hires a pamphlet on how to sign up for snap benefits. They can afford to pay livable wages, but why should they when the government will pick up the slack out of our pockets.

Exxon just posted $14.5 billion in profits for 2026-Q2, more than double year-over-year. Trump's war with Iran is a tremendous money making machine for U.S. oil companies. He's as much as said so himself. Our billionaire bros are gonna be popping corks tonight. Hope you're as excited as I am!

Todd Blanche is using the FEDERAL TORT. CLAIMS ACT (FTCA) TO CUT CHECKS FOR MILLIONS CLAIMING MALICIOUS PROSECUTIONS THEY WERE USING THIS TO PAY OFF CRIMINALS WHO WERE FOUND GUITY ALREADY
