I drive around making deliveries of stuff to people around the country. I have a lot of time to let my mind wander. That's rarely a good thing.

NEWS --> Dems are launching an investigation into Trump's corrupt prosecutions for "vandalism" of Reflecting Pool. They're demanding access to WH-DOJ communications and more. “Participants in this frame-up will be held to account," Jamie Raskin tells me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2141...

Trump’s Reflecting Pool Fiasco Is About to Get Even Worse for Him

The David Hearn affair isn’t over. Far from it. Jamie Raskin is launching an investigation, and Hearn’s legal team will pursue remedies.

Dr Abdul El-Sayed: "It's not radical to believe that people should be able to afford their groceries, have healthcare, or drink clean water." In a political landscape dominated by fear, focusing on core human needs isn't extreme—it's basic common sense for everyday Americans.

He was asked about vaccination and there is extensive data on that. He didn't correct misinformation. He amplified it. He is accusing physicians of filling out false death certificates and hospitals that employed them of fraud. And BTW, this guy never signed a death certificate in his life.

No biggie. Just laptap class doctor Jay Bhattacharya fluffing RFK and saying those of us who worked in hospitals lied about COVID numbers.

When he was Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Mike Rogers (the Republican candidate for Senate in Michigan) publicly took the position that "you can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated." Colbert had some fun with that: crooksandliars.com/cltv/2013/10...

Science asks us to follow evidence, question assumptions, and keep learning. Believing in science means trusting a process that challenges what we think we know—and gives humanity the power to understand our world and build a better future. #Pinks 🧬🔬

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

Just because a president can control DOJ does not mean he should. Since Watergate, America has prized a Justice Department that is independent from partisan politics. Trump and Blanche have upended that fidelity to the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/08/u...

In Confirming Blanche, Senators Endorse a Justice Dept. Under Trump’s Sway (Gift Article)

Time and again, Todd Blanche has made it clear that he believes President Trump possesses a nearly limitless right to directly control the actions of the Justice Department.

Miller: Cassidy knows better. He voted to convict because Trump attacked our democracy, and then, five years later, after Trump just humiliated him, to then come back and be like, “I want Trump to be able to have the AG of his choice to continue that January 6 attack.” He is a shell of a human.

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains. We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors. We don't need to desecrate this sacred land. We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.
