Todd Blanche's last-minute promise won over Senators Cornyn & Tillis, but shouldn't have. The "deal" leaves Trump's tax immunity intact. It confirms what the Senators should have already known about Blanche's lack of fitness to be AG. My analysis: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The $1.776b Slush Fund Isn't As Dead As Senators Cornyn And Tillis Seem To Be Willing To Believe

I'm not watching, I'm just looking at posts here, but it breaks my heart that a hero like Anthony Fauci is being treated like this.
The US Show Trial of the distinguished and innocent scientist Anthony Fauci reminds me of the Soviet era trials and the McCarthy witch hunts, maybe even the Catholic church trial of Galileo centuries ago. History books will add this dark chapter to the other times when ignorance ran amok.

Worth the read. Thanks @joycewhitevance.bsky.social and a salute to #JamesComey.
Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social · last wk.This is a long post, but the prosecution of Jim Comey—for the second time—poses a real risk to the First Amendment. Love him or hate him, it’s important for us to understand the argument the defense is making to dismiss the indictment. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Highly recommend this profile of the civilian West Point prof who is suing to protect academic freedom. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...
After Trump’s order, West Point curbed faculty speech. One professor said no.
Tim Bakken argues that the Pentagon's attempt to stifle what teachers can say and write makes the military more susceptible to bad decisions.

Oh ffs. Trump wants Bolsonaro's son Flavio to be the next president of Brazil, so he sent officials down to "monitor" the election. Brazil suspected fuckery, said no, and wouldn't let them in. Now Trump is mad. Flavio's been making Trumpian claims about stolen elections. www.rawstory.com/brazil/

The vast vast majority of the people at the WHCD have no idea they are the problem.
Any "journalist" who goes to the White House Correspondents Dinner after Trump subpoenaed three New York Times reporters—simply for doing their jobs—should be ashamed. If, indeed, they have any shame.
Florida GOP State Rep. Paula Stark got kicked off the Nov ballot after a judge denied her last-ditch appeal over missing paperwork. That means House District 47 is now an automatic flip to Democrats. Two Dems will face off in a primary—the winner takes the seat unopposed. GOP self-own of the year.

Governor Gavin Newsom - Donald Trump just imposed a 50% tariff to increase YOUR COSTS because he felt that Canada didn't do enough to rake their forests. How many tantrums from this failed president do Americans have to suffer through? #cdnpoli
Voting is the most basic act of citizenship. The SAVE Act makes it expensive. Expensive voting is restricted voting. Restricted voting is not democracy. It's oligarchy with a ballot fee. #PayToVoteSaveAct
