@timmiller.bsky.social: "Abdul El-Sayed does not say that he's a socialist…Republicans are gonna try to turn him into a socialist…I find it very galling that all this is happening while Donald Trump is running the country as a MAGA socialist."

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Tens of thousands of people evacuated their homes this weekend as wildfires spread across Spokane County, and many remain in shelters with no clear timeline for when they can return.

At least 54 people died in ICE custody since Trump took office. Another 11 died after being shot by ICE-with 41 gunshot victims altogether El-Sayed is right. ICE must be disbanded. And everyone responsible needs to be held accountable. Even if-especially if-that includes criminal prosecutions

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

The US government now holds equity stakes in 30 private companies, up from zero just over a year ago. In some cases, it's the largest shareholder. This raises massive questions about capital misallocation, government neutrality, and cronyism, says Cato's Scott Lincicome on MS NOW.

NYT says Trump is going to take the Qatari bribe jet AND one of the old Air Force Ones when he leaves office. He can put the broken down old one in his presidential library and do what he likes with the new one we just paid billions of tax dollars to retrofit. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...

Earlier this week, Mr. Trump’s son Eric, who is heavily involved with developing the library, told NBC News in a text message that it was “not the plan at the moment” to bring the Qatari jet to the library, which is planned for downtown Miami. One person with knowledge of the discussions said that Mr. Trump had been considering decommissioning one of the two older Air Force One jets to display at the library, but that he also planned to take the Qatari jet as well. It was unclear if that plan was still in consideration.

The Freedom 250 Grand Prix in D.C. will see IndyCar racers speeding up to 185 mph past federal buildings and museums. The National Gallery of Art studied vibrations as it prepares for possible effects on art — but it’s declining to say what it found.

While museums have not declared major risks, preservationists say they are concerned the race could affect nearby buildings holding priceless art and artifacts.

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

James Talarico: The young people here might not remember this, but those of you who are a little older might. Not so long ago, you could afford to live a good life here in America. But today that middle class has disappeared. The top 1% put the American Dream behind a paywall.
