Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

BROWDER: Trump is contorting himself every day to try to stay on Putin's side. I was watching interview with him recently. Journalist pointed out that Russia is providing Iranian targeting information to hit American bases, and asked Trump, "What do you think about this?"
This supposed 'deal' doesn't prevent payouts to violent insurrectionists in the future. It doesn't prevent the admin from bringing the slush fund back from the dead next week or using DOJ’s Judgment Fund for the same illicit purpose.
Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
Reminder: Todd Blanche has… -Weaponized the DOJ to persecute Trump’s political foes -Purged hundreds of career DOJ lawyers -Botched the release of the Epstein files and ignored victims’ wishes He can’t be trusted and has no business being Attorney General. The Senate must reject him.
Seth Moulton was given the chance to make several private equity investments that were not available to everyday investors with defense tech companies he helps oversee on the House Armed Services Committee. They are now worth millions of dollars. Bob Kuttner reports: prospect.org/2026/08/03/s...
Seth Moulton’s Sweetheart Deals - The American Prospect
In Rep. Moulton’s upcoming Senate primary challenge, questions about his lucrative investments in defense tech companies may prove more important than incumbent Ed Markey’s age.

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.
11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
I made dinner for a man who abused me more times than I can count thinking I could fix things. It never stopped the abuse. It created the expectation that he could do whatever he wanted and then be fed. Max Miller is trash. If the GOP won’t say it, I will.
Scottish actor #BrianCox, best known for playing Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession, isn’t afraid to speak his mind. In an interview with TRT World’s Ghida Fakhry, Cox explained why he refuses to stay quiet despite concerns about Hollywood backlash......” #AllHeroesDontWearCapes 🇵🇸
Happy 65th Birthday, August 4th, to the best President in US History. The black man "they" feared, led with humor, dignity & grace for 8 yrs scandal-free, has a beautiful & accomplished family, and is beloved by millions around the world. @barackobama.bsky.social #BarackObama #ThePeoplesPresident
Exactly 3 months from today is the most important midterm election in our lifetime. Our opportunity to hold him accountable. Register to vote here: Iwillvote.com The stakes have never been higher. Show the world the majority of Americans are good, decent, honest people. #VoteBlue🗳️ #RejectMAGA 👎
FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels
So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.
Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.
Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.
