This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.

Decision Desk HQ projects Abdul El-Sayed wins the Michigan US Senate Democratic Primary #DecisionMade: 8:35 AM EDT

Rather absurd framing when you consider the results up and down the ballot, and where expectations were before just the last few weeks.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

It's very very strange to be in a situation where Jeanine Pirro is the sane and responsible one!

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 3h ago

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

And it wasn't even close.

Q: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.

#MI07 candidate Bridget Brink congratulates William Lawrence on winning Dem primary: "Now we come together as one to take on Tom Barrett and work to elect a leader who will listen and fight for what matters most to our community here in mid-Michigan."

While AIPAC was a big spender against Cori Bush in her attempt to reclaim her old seat, I don't think it can be seen as the sole -- and probably not even the main -- reason she lost tonight in her bid to defeat Wesley Bell. When you lose by this big a margin, the voters have just moved on from you.

WHOA! I know it's just 5% in right now, but El-Sayed is walloping Stevens early on! Up nearly 30 points.

JFC! Clay Travis: "I am putting in an application to get a WNBA franchise for my home, Nashville. It’s going to be the most inclusive team that has ever existed. Only trans. Only men who identify as women on the team. Our motto: one love, two balls. The Nashville Balls... The best women are men."

Tapper: "There are now three women who have accused you of violent behavior…Are all three of these women who don't know each other lying?" Rep. Max Miller: "Yes…It's all hearsay." Tapper: "It's not hearsay if it is firsthand testimony from women."

"If our first year is any indication, we've already proven something important: when talented people rally around a shared vision, there's very little they can't achieve," David Ellison tells Paramount employees in a company-wide email today. No mention is made of CBS News' ratings collapse.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Looks like Judge Jeanine is safe -- for now. I still have to wonder if she'd just prefer to go back to Fox News rather than embarrassingly lose court case after court case. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...

Inside the Oval Office Showdown Between Trump and Jeanine Pirro

Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, told President Trump that his interior secretary, Doug Burgum, had misled him with a self-serving cover story for his own mistakes.

nytimes.com

That is much closer to what the AGs wanted as opposed to Paramount’s request for a November trial date. It also places the Ellisons perilous close to the June must-close date. If this has to go through appeals following a bad ruling for Paramount, you could see Warner just demand its $7b kill fee.

This dude was on TV basically every day during the pandemic and published tons of articles -- and he's saying "free speech was suspended" over COVID-19.

According to Dylan Byers, Ross Douthat is the "thoughtful liberal's favorite conservative."

One maxim will remain undoubtedly clear in this industry -- if you threaten your staff about leaking to the media, that memo is gonna get out before the day is done.

Scoop: New "60 Minutes" boss Nick Bilton sent a memo to staff about leaks, which naturally leaked to @status.news. Details here: www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

Jesse Watters calls on Fox News to stop covering the WNBA trans outrage cycle that it created in the first place. "This is week 3 of 'The Five' covering the WNBA. I have to say, I'm done. I hate the WNBA! ...This isn’t a news story. Okay? It doesn’t matter. There will not be a man in the WNBA."

Time to turn to The Experts.
