Tarrant County considers cutting 140 Election Day polling sites for November
County commissioners vote Aug. 4 on proposed reductions to the number of early voting and day-of sites for the midterms.

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 Trump administration will withdraw subpoenas issued to New York Times' journalists who reported on security concerns about the president flying on a Qatari-donated Air Force One, a prosecutor said at a court hearing. Reuters legal reporter Jack Queen has more.
Aric Toler@aric.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of Iran war casualties.

Markwayne Mullin effectively parroted Iranian disinformation to the American public as if it were real. It wasn’t. In the not-too-distant past, this is the sort of screw-up that would spark a conversation about a Cabinet secretary resigning in humiliation. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Why Markwayne Mullin decided to amplify Iranian propaganda as if it were real
The DHS secretary effectively positioned himself as a parrot for Iranian operatives who created disinformation. Shouldn’t resignation chatter soon follow?

Having a baby bond tucked into a policy package is not the same thing as having a meaningful baby bond policy. If the equalizing piece is small and temporary, it’s not doing the heavy lifting. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/what-the-white-house-isnt-telling
GOP Sen. Tillis to OMB Director Russ Vought: I've heard you talk about DOGE savings. The last time you worked in the business world was when you were in law school. You don't have this experience. I don't love the idea of DOGE shit that we're picking up because people did it wrong.
