NEW: A court ruled that Big Tech companies like Amazon can't use an anti-hacking law to go after users and developers of digital tools, like Perplexity AI, that people use to improve their online experience. This is the right call.
Fight like Michael Collins

Realist. Fascism has come to the USA. MAGAts are re-instituting the Civil War that they weren’t punished for last time. Don’t make THAT mistake again. You’re on one side or the other. THIS IS WAR ON AMERICAN IDEALS! Proceed accordingly & honorably.
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->
Gabriel Malor@gabrielmalor.bsky.social · yesterdayFed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.
A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.
It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.
@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"
He just sounds so fucking dumb. He regularly uses the wrong words while speaking, has rehearsed talking points that he shoves in whenever, and has a constant expression of stupid misplaced superiority. He’s one of those guys that needed to get an ass kicking to put him in his place but never did.
A key point he made that we need make noise about.... To Miller, Trump won in 2016 against adversity (the grab 'em by the p*ssy comment) so that motivates him to keep going. Trump's win motivated rapists, abusers, white supremacists, and pedophiles to be themselves. That's what we are fighting.
That's what narcissists do... they think they can talk their way out of anything.
There is nothing lower than the Republican Party Their leader is a pedophile and they protect him Why would they demand the resignation of a guy who beats his wife and breaks his daughter’s collar? Just another day for MAGA/GOP

Whoever advised Max Miller to go on to Jake Tapper’s show secretly hates him. What a catastrophic interview
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
Gee…why don’t I believe any of these stories any more?!?🤔 Oh, yeah…because they’re bullshit.
NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
