holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

MacFarlane: But Jeanine Pirro has got another concern besides the president's endorsement or his non-endorsement. She has got to keep people working for her. They have had enormous turnover in that office. They were in a staff shortage situation last year.

MO Senator Eric Schmitt, posting on his personal Xitter account, is whining bc his Dem colleagues laid out how Schmitt and his Republican colleagues are endorsing tax crimes and rewarding terrorists and cop beaters.

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt Democrats have been whining about the Todd Blanche confirmation vote in Judiciary this morning for 2 hours. I wrote down my thoughts… [a picture of a hand-written note on Senate Judiciary Committee stationery, saying, "So much whining!"] You can see 3 versions of the shadow of a cell phone, as well as what looks like a microphone. 3:53 PM · Aug 4, 2026 · 3,303 Views

They're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses. Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/30/t...

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.

"Today, I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee. As it looks like on a party-line vote, we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general of the United States." Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse

We are dumb. The US withdrew from WHO. DOGE severely downsized a CDC lab that deals with outbreaks like cyclospora. We are in the middle of a cyclospora outbreak, with 11,000 cases in Michigan. Measles hits a 30 yr high. Now this. 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/h...
