Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!
War against Iran 🇮🇷, war against the White House, and war against the American 🇺🇸 people….not necessarily in that order.

Talarico: I've passed 60 bipartisan bills through the Texas legislature. We're told that it's a choice between people who fight and people who get things done. I think the people of Texas deserve a senator who can do both — and I've shown in the statehouse that I can do both.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 2d agoJames Talarico: Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire — all while most Texans’ pay has remained stagnant for decades. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans can't afford one. We can't afford Ken Paxton's corruption.
Susan Collins has confirmed at least 16 anti-abortion judges in Trump’s second term. Some Mainers may think their reproductive and civil rights are safe and still vote for her, but any of these freaks could tee up a SCOTUS case that takes the entire country backwards mainedems.org/susan-collin...

Collins Confirms Two More Anti-Choice Judges
Susan Collins just voted to confirm Tony Mattivi and Anthony Powell to lifetime seats on the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.
[then a list showing 14 more, split across two screenshots]
Collins has continued to “rubber stamp” Trump-appointed anti-choice judges who have advocated for and defended near-total abortion bans in states. In the past few months alone Collins confirmed:
Whitney Hermandorfer to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, who was lead counsel in a case defending Tennessee’s total abortion ban.
Maria Lanahan to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, who defended Missouri’s near-total abortion ban, and helped author and argue Missouri’s complaint seeking to restrict the use and access to mifepristone, a common medication abortion pill.
Jennifer Mascott to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, who urged the court to overturn Roe and return it to the “dustbin of history,” then praised the Dobbs ruling, testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee defending the Court’s decision to leave in place Texas’ extreme abortion ban.
William Mercer to the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, who “has repeatedly supported anti-abortion bills.”
Chad Meredith to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, who is staunchly anti-abortion and has even defended abortion restrictions in Kentucky.
Jordan Pratt to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, who authored an amicus brief in support of Florida’s abortion ban where he called abortion “barbaric.”
Rebecca Taibleson to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, who testified that she believed the three-year-old Dobbs decision that gutted federal protections to abortion was “controlling precedent and settled law.” In addition to clerking for Brett Kavanaugh, Tabileson testified in front of the Senate to de…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fdfjfnhhyeo4hsmoxpeazsg/bafkreif4k66fmxo5z4qmtaydwrxgmeqmwghjjn72yzo3dsqzruyrk72dom)

Our average of polls at FiftyPlusOne gives Trump a roughly 36% approval rating and 61% disapproval rating — a net -25 — among all adults, and he’s rapidly losing ground. The president set a new record low six days in a row just in the last week: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-08-04...

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
Michigan’s economy has been hit hard by Trump’s reckless tariffs. Asked if he’d repeal them, Mike Rogers said, “I don’t know.” Michigan can’t afford another Trump yes-man.
