The failure of The Times specifically and our corporate media generally, all captured in this one post.

One you might find surprising. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt & members of her team have been extremely helpful in responding to questions I raise. Regardless of public facing commentary, privately they are willing to engage and address questions. And I have appreciated that. Thank you

The Air Force One catering truck scandal is deeper and darker than the media is portraying it — it’s a Russian nesting doll of corruption and national security threats: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...

The Five Scandals Within the "Air Force One" Scandal

Donald Trump, a Catering Truck, and the Qatari "Air Force One" represent a Russian Nesting Doll of Scandal and Corruption

If you wanted to fly Donald Trump out on a different plane without advanced warning to protect him, that would be one thing. But to put others on what you believed to be a targeted plane served only one purpose: To propagate and maintain a lie to assuage a single man’s ego.

these guys need to go to jail for this, theres no coming back from this without it

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

This is 100% correct. Crypto bros: "Crypto isn't subject to inflation like fiat currency." (A). It's valued in fiat currency; (B). Its valuation bounces around by 30-40% based on which criminal syndicate needs it to move in that direction at the moment.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 3d ago

Senate Republicans have taken a major step towards advancing the pro-crypto CLARITY Act. Reminder: crypto is a giant Ponzi scheme. Its only practical uses are for tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, speculation, and crime. No Democrat should vote for this corrupt abomination.

Mainers know this, I think. Concerned Susan soon to be retired.

Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · 3d ago

Susan Collins, the self-described, concerned, disappointed, worried senator from Maine always votes with MAGA and only votes with Democrats when she is assured that her vote won’t flip. Purely performative filler. This is the year for her ouster!

Correct.

Because the threatened billionaires are directing the media they own to split the opposition.

STUNNING: Trump left the White House press corps in Turkey as a decoy to be attacked by Iran—and instead flew out on a secret plane: wapo.st/4i1OByh

El-Sayed on Trump posting image of him & his wife in a restaurant w/ caption "2 DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are 2 people who don't like each other joined in the interest in making billions off of you, or 2 people who genuinely love each other enjoying pancakes ... "

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

The numbers coming out of Detroit are not enough for Stevens. It’s a bloodbath

MI UPDATE: Abdul El-Sayed is currently surpassing expectations across the board in the Michigan Democratic Senate Primary.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Good afternoon, @deptofwar.bsky.social. It seems little Petey is still out here committing war crimes. Maybe let him know they don't have hair stylists in federal pens?

Three-byline alert: 🚨 “.. The strike hit a densely populated neighborhood .. .. the evidence raises questions about what the United States was targeting and why such a large munition was used.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/w...

Here's the thing: It seems likely the D senate primary in MI has moved to El Sayed. This is a very good thing. Stevens is a terrible debater. And I suspect Hamtramck and Dearborn would stay home if she were the candidate. Which means we get Rogers. El Sayed gets out more young voters, 1/2

Among many other things this is a good illustration of the necessity of untethering ideology and "fight" in intra-Democratic battles. The party is very united on fight, very divided on ideology. You unite on fight, let different constituencies/states find their center of gravity on ideology.

As it should be.

The Hill@thehill.com · 2w ago

Progressive Abdul El-Sayed is leading Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) by 15 points ahead of next week’s Democratic primary for Michigan’s open Senate seat, according to a new poll.

This is a US Senator. And the man is profoundly stupid.

Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

Policy issues aside, @rephaleystevens.bsky.social debate performance last night is a warning: She won't hold up well against Rogers in a General, which is why so much conservative money backs her. I'll vote for her if she wins, but I certainly hope our nominee is @abdulelsayed.bsky.social

Just now

@govandybeshear.bsky.social you want to put on some big boy pants and find out about McConnell or nah?

What some call "unused land" is often the last safe haven for countless living creatures. Wetlands are not empty spaces waiting to be developed. They are nurseries for birds, natural water filters, flood defenses, and wildlife habitats that cannot be replaced once lost.

Absolute nonsense, from the dumb plumber in @homelandgov.bsky.social.

Markwayne Mullin on the World Cup: "We averaged over 30 drones that we brought down per game"

Krasnov is terrified.

tomwellborn3rd@wellborn.net · 4w ago

Krasnov refuses to stop breathing.

Trump revealed how weak, scared, and broken he is. This was not the address of a confident President. They know they can only win by cheating and trying to meddle in our elections. MAGA is dying.

Well, the finale of HACKS equals that of SIX FEET UNDER and M.A.S.H for best series finale, IMO.

So if McConnell wanted to quiet rumors, he'd release a video of him speaking. Since he has not, it's fair to conclude he cannot speak coherently, and that's assuming he's still alive (an open issue, given the questions surrounding the photo). There's obviously lying going on here.
