"What's so funny about peace, love and understanding ?" Nick Lowe "There is no safety in capitulation. None at all." Maya Angelou Liberal (maybe leftist), progressive, woke patriot. Democrat. Mother, grandmother, never married. No DMs.
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..."
It ended the way we knew it would. So why the charade? Cornyn & Tillis tanking Blanche, a MAGA nominee, would mean being blacklisted from K Street. Staging a delay let them pretend to have principles, while ultimately falling in line to protect their lucrative future lobbying careers.💸 #Blues
This dog, Jip Jip, is hilarious. His owner gives him butt slaps, and he begs for them. His noises are so damn funny. 😅
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?
How come Mitch McConnell is still getting paid to be a senator, but Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Ted Kennedy are not?
A sitting United States Senator admitted, out loud, on camera, that the co-equal branch of government he works for is decorative. Then he explained why: the paycheck comes later. deanblundell.substack.com/p/theres-not...

The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful
Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.
Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.
it's not why *everything* sucks, but having all three branches of the federal government captured by thieves, abusers, bigots, and cowards is definitely why a lot of things suck
This hasn’t gotten much attention, but it should. While everyone was focused on Schedule F, the administration created something even broader. On July 30, a new OPM rule took effect that creates a second way to fire federal employees outside the normal civil service process.
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.
Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?
