Dying at the right-wing activists that (1) held a call with Todd Blanche in which Blanche made a lot of anti-abortion promises, (2) said "uh this is off the record" like doing so would magically ward off journalists, and then (3) UPLOADED IT TO THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
New: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to create a pretext to search a man's car for weed. Their justification? He drove from Wisconsin to Michigan, a “known source state for marijuana as it is legal there,” and Flock showed he "travels to Michigan frequently." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...

Just imagine being the contractor who heads to Honduras to ask for $1.8 million in unpaid parking tickets
Project Salt Box@projectsaltbox.com · yesterdayNEW: CBP is shopping for a contractor to track down people the US has deported to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala and collect unpaid immigration fines — debts that can top $1.8 million a person.
If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

It was never about leaving it up to the states when Dobbs fell. It’s only Tuesday. www.politico.com/news/2026/08... #Pinks
Blanche assures anti-abortion supporters that Dobbs will be ‘permanent in every single state’

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
Considering that most cities are blue, he is just saying he hates America
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Congrats again to the White House Correspondents Association!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
Is there a connection between opulence and the decline of empire? Who cares, suggests Chad Mizelle, Trump's 2025 former Deputy Attorney General, as he comments on the tourism draw of gilded statues and the "opulence of the epicenter of once-great civilizations," without a shred of self-awareness.
Another example of "I learn something new every day"
Josephine "beckbook.com" Riesman@josie.zone · 6mo agoEvery once in a while, I remember the time in 1998 when Marvel accidentally printed a Wolverine comic where, due to bureaucratic cock-ups and a garbled fax, Sabretooth was referred to as a "kike" in the narration Possibly the funniest bad thing ever to happen recalledcomics.com/Wolverine131...
The fake outrage by Cornyn and Tillis re: Blanche is/was just that. They'll vote to confirm him, then Blanche will do whatever Trump wants, and these two senators are going to act like shocked Pikachu and claim they were blindsided. They know what's going to happen. They just don't really care.
This is really fucked up but important
Maximum Hearts@maximumhearts.bsky.social · 6d agoTonight on Maximum Hearts: popular gaming conventions (and the cities they’re in) are becoming increasingly unsafe for women. Tonight we’re talking about security: what to know, what to do, who to approach and how to stay safe. Live at 9pm EST. www.twitch.tv/maximumhearts
As Cornyn noted at Blanche's confirmation hearing—and as Blanche agreed!—this doesn't change the underlying settlement between Trump and the government, which required the fund to be established. Trump could sue to enforce the settlement. Or Blanche could resurrect the fund once he's confirmed.

jesus fucking christ what? this is fucking awful. among the myriad reasons to loathe ai, chief among them is the way accusations of its use is deployed by bad actors to sew misinformation. when nothing can be proven to be true, everything is up for debate.
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 4d agoSo I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.
