A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote to make abortion bans "permanent in every single state." Those are his words. He’s privately promising anti-choice extremists he'll use the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision to crack down on nationwide access to safe medication abortion by mail- [cont...]

Mainstream media is tossing “socialist” around left and right - Dems need to get a jump on defining that word and taking it back tout de suite. “Socialism just means that the government uses your tax dollars to provide you services, instead of giving it to the billionaire class.” Or something.
I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
I could have sworn "stolen valor" was a thing Turns out it was just something else Republicans never actually gave a shit about Draft-dodging PoS
🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:
🤯 Max Miller's interview with Tapper is an utter trainwreck 🤯

We need to crack down on Medicaid fraud. I completely agree. But what Republicans didn't mention at today's hearing on this very topic is that Trump pardoned criminals that were convicted of MAJOR Medicaid fraud. WATCH ⬇️
Moreno is a disgusting hypocrite. The abuse happened between 2022 and 2024. Moreno calls for Miller's resignation NOW, when it got in the news, but didn't speak up when it happened.
Despite all the bad news, there's still a surprising amount of good stuff happening that will help in years to come. My friend Sam is an environmental scientist, & works really hard to get the word out. Here's his update about how, worldwide, hunger is falling: sammatey.substack.com/p/the-weekly...

"The government’s case fell apart because Pirro had to code-switch. The case was brought under the rules of television, but had to be prosecuted under the rule of law. That’s the solution. We should replace the rules of television with the rule of law."

Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.
"The statistics matter, but you can’t put a number on the rank immorality of an utter disregard for whether people who don’t look like you live or die. Whatever the Trump death toll turns out to be, this stain on the American soul is never coming out."

A small act of kindness toward someone vulnerable just went viral, proof that you do not need grand gestures to make a real difference. Sharing food, helping a hurt animal, aiding a stranger, this is
🦞 A major win for crustaceans in Wales. The Welsh Government has declared that boiling lobsters alive is "not an acceptable method of slaughter" and is now considering legislation to protect lobsters, crabs and other decapod crustaceans from this cruel practice.
NEW: DOJ now says it was was snookered by Interior Department into indicting Olympian David Hearn when officials "clearly" knew of multitude of issues w/reflecting pool renovation by Trump's 'pool guy.' @USAttyPirro drops the case. More via @eperezibarguen www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
The claim was a lie. Trump had no evidence of vandals. He makes shit up all the time. That's the big story, the never-ending story, the story that needs to be reported over and over.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 5d ago“Trump administration drops Reflecting Pool case, blaming damage on ‘botched’ installation.” A major concession from President Trump’s team after he repeatedly claimed the problem was caused by vandals. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Breaking: The DOJ just dismissed their case against Davey Hearn for touching water in the Reflecting Pool The Trump admin acknowledges the "damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor,” and not vandalism as Trump claimed
“We’re gonna go through every fucking file” is what I want to hear right now from every Dem candidate. Seed fear into the gestapo. Let them know they don’t just walk away from all this when management changes. Biden historically blew it by “moving on” from Jan6. We can’t make that mistake again.

Bernie Moreno’s campaign is trying to blame this on a prank by a former intern, except the “geolocation data indicates that the account was set up for use in a part of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where property records show Moreno’s parents owned a home at the time.“
Ally Sammarco@allysammarco.bsky.social · 6d agoTHIS is why Bernie Moreno has been silent. In March 2024, the AP reported that he used a work email to create a dating profile looking for gay sex. Max Miller has some dirt on him.
