El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
No country that arrested librarians and booksellers was on the right side of history. But that's what's happening in Arkansas. And this is where your whole country is headed with H.R 7661 and S 4925. Via @everylibrary.bsky.social action.everylibrary.org/arkansasact372
Arresting Librarians AND Booksellers in the United States
History has shown that arresting librarians and booksellers has never led to greater freedom or liberty.

A civilian medical plane went down after an experimental US military GPS jamming test reportedly disrupted its radar. Every person aboard lost their life. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...
Was there sex trafficking at the Playboy Mansion? Several women have now claimed there was. The parallels to Epstein are extraordinary, but in this case, the crimes were glamorized on tv’s The Girls Next Door. Watch this clip of Karissa Shannon from Lisa Guerrero Unleashed youtu.be/rbCW4poBhXM?...
i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Earlier this evening, soaring above my garden, a bird taking flight. Sweet dreams, good night.
A disturbing and unhinged interview with Rep. Max Miller amid horrifying allegations; Cornyn and Tillis show the art of the cave; the Iran debacle deepens; and much more. Ron's daily bulletin has arrived.
Today in Politics, Bulletin 433. 8/4/26
… Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis both served up lame excuses today as they voted to pass AG nominee Todd Blanche out of the Judiciary Committee on a straight 12-10 party line vote.

🦋 Here ya go Congress...try these. You seem to have misplaced yours....
Congress: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas.”
Generative AI psychosis and delusion is a real thing, as is the degradation of analytical skills. This increasingly makes conversations difficult with those who have "converted" to using it. Along with the clickbait-ification of everything and the adoption of predatory logarithms. Stay vigilant.
The founders are calling. They suggest you read the damn Constitution.
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?
Imagine going to work in the morning to sell fruit at your local market… Then a russian FPV drone starts chasing you. That happened today in Kherson. The 52-year-old vendor survived with blast injuries, a concussion, and shrapnel wounds. Just another civilian hunted by russia.
