What a relentlessly stupid time to be alive.

But again, the real indictment from the public's perspective is in our media's inability to hold these people to account. He'll be on another show and nobody will mention anything about this. Whereas he should *never* have any credibility on any credible show. Ever.

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

It’s a direct attack on rule of law from the highest levels, aimed at permanently ending US Constitutional democracy and imposing a dictatorship. Always has been. Anyone who tries treating it as something else—as if they’re dealing with mistaken impressions rather than lies—gets egg on their face.

Better ways to ask this question against stonewalling: "Was the person who won the 2020 election certified as the winner?" "Why was Biden sworn in as the certified winner of the election? Did he win?" "Was the person who was certified as the winner of the 2020 election actually win it?"

BOOKER: Let me make this easy. Be a man. Yes or no -- did Joe Biden win the 2020 election? CANDEUB: ... the Congress certifie-- BOOKER: There you go. Stop! Can you please tell me yes or no, did President Biden win the 2020 election? CANDEUB: The Congress certified-- B: You are showing cowardice.

The U.S. Army wants new surface-to-air missiles, costing less than $150,000 apiece, that can destroy small drones. 🔗Link to article in comments ⬇️

Wow. It's been a generation, I guess.

Oh my god I think I found the video.

Breaking News! Code Bonkers! As of August 3rd, Nino 3.4 has crossed 2.5°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. The Climate Casino predicted August 1st for this crossing and now has a lot of fake-bets to pay out. Was the fix in? Next up, 3.0°C by August 21st.

There's what, three cameras roving around these two guys having a casual conversation in a diner all by themselves with three cameras and a crew roving around them? Do it in a studio. This is dumb.

Would a 2028 Harris campaign mean reliving 2024? Pete Buttigieg says no. “This is about bigger things than whether somebody gets their feelings hurt by a page in a book,” he said. “This is about the trajectory of Western civilization.” 🔗 politi.co/3RSLiin

So, if you watch that interview, you'll see what the guy actually wants is *normies*. Just regular folks, talking sports and stuff. It's gotten better for that, but the political outrage *all the time* stuff has limits for most humans. As the linked post illustrates.

If you or anyone in your family has any advanced electronic devices, you should support all "Right to Repair" legislation and all candidates that support it.

WE NEED 4 SEATS TO FLIP THE SENATE. JOSH TUREK SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I was researching Josh and came across one of his signature issues: Right to Repair. I had no idea how important this was. Most people in big cities probably don’t either. 🧵

The In-N-Out Burger shooter comes from a family immersed in Trump propaganda. The shooter loved General Flynn, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. He was pro-natalist and wanted to join ICE, but didn't have a college degree.

Andrew M. | Founder & Advisor 🇬🇷 🇺🇸@andrewmfounder.bsky.social · 4d ago

The shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male. Shocked.

Spineless coward, but this is not information.

Cornyn: "Given this agreement with Mr Blanche, I expect the DOJ to live up to this in future litigation and I will vote to advance him out of the committee today"

ICC CHIEF PROSECUTOR: “Oppose Israel and we will go after your family — You have been warned. Rubio, McConnell sent me a letter… what’s liberating is accepting mortality.”

Do they announce McConnell's death today or tomorrow?

We need to elect people who will appoint members of the Supreme Court who will reverse this kind of ridiculous crap that puts religion over our laws.

A Mormon Border Patrol agent sexually abused all 6 of his children for years. He confessed as much to his bishop, who did not report it. Instead the bishop told the wife ... who was later sentenced to jail for not reporting it. The bishop? The AZ Supreme Court says he did nothing wrong.

The New York Times reports the U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on a family home in Iran, killing a husband, wife, and their 2-year-old son. The paper found no indication of a nearby military target.

Evidence Indicates U.S. Dropped Bomb on Residential Area in Iran, Killing 3 Civilians (Gift Article)

The weapon, one of the largest in the U.S.’s arsenal, struck a house in a heavily populated area, according to a Times analysis.

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

Does anybody remember how many times during the campaign he vowed to end this war on day one with a phone call? And does anybody recall how many times he has claimed to already have ended this war?

Trump on Zelenskyy: "I spoke to him about let's get this war over with ... I said, 'You gotta get this war over with.' I think he wants to make a deal and I think Putin wants to make a deal."

Serious desperation. Sad desperation.

Astronomers have almost certainly directly seen a smaller (but still massive!) companion star to Betelgeuse, making Big B a binary system! This is A Big Deal, and premium subscribers to my newsletter can read all about it: badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/astronomer... 🔭 🧪

Almost nothing relatively. Apollo Global Management was founded by Leon Black. They manage about a trillion dollars in assets (many media companies, like Axios and Politico). TRILLION.

Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted this video of the Oval Office and it somehow looks even more embarrassing than I realized

This is pretty fucked.

What in the blistering fuck

This is something that I don't think people realize how big it's going to be. And how bad over time. And how hard to fix.

Rep. Mike Levin@levin.house.gov · last wk.

I was personally lied to.     The Trump Administration canceled nearly $8 billion in grants, killing projects, jobs, and investments across the country.     Except it wasn’t across the entire country. Just in states that voted against Trump.

Rand Paul demonstrates how wise, calm, and correct his neighbor was every time he gets up in public and talks. How incredibly rational he had to have been. Can you imagine having to live next to this? What would you do?

Fauci is taking the 5th in response to each of Rand Paul's questions

Don't tell him about Jimothy, please!

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · last wk.

Dr. Fauci had us wear masks during a global pandemic. RFK Jr. collects raccoon penises. But okay.

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."
