“Though the word “abortion” did not appear on the ballot in either state on Tuesday, voters resoundingly shot down Republican-backed ballot measures that could have made it easier to ban the procedure in the future in Kansas and in Missouri.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...
Abortion Foes Backed Ballot Measures in 2 Red States. Voters Said No.
Voters in Kansas rejected a proposal to start electing Supreme Court justices, while Missourians declined to make it harder to amend the State Constitution.

Companies are benefiting from soaring profits, historically low taxes, and a Congress willing to make middle class salaried workers subsidize low-wage work instead of making the jobs better paid. My latest on the collapsing sense of fairness in our tax system: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
No One Who Works Full Time Should Be on Medicaid
There are a lot of jobs in the US economy that pay miserably low wages. And there are a lot that offer a reasonable hourly rate but still result in miserably low earnings because of unstable, fluctuat...

The current two-term Dem governor, who was elected to clean up a Repub-created disaster in Kansas, actually endorsed a better-funded primary candidate who looked more business-friendly. So Holscher is not the compromise candidate. She faces a MAGA opponent in November:
Donald Trump told reporters he feels "badly" for Max Miller, a Republican congressman accused of abusing his wife, and hopes Miller can "work it out." The only thing less surprising than a Republican politician abusing his wife is Donald Trump empathizing with the abuser.
Translation: Congress is over. Republicans have scrapped it. It is now as useless as the Russian Duma. Sad. 🇺🇸
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
This is pretty straightforward, and it's weird to me that people are against it.
👀 Nathan Robinson takes full advantage of a chance to explain to Katie Pavlich why Democratic Socialism is on the rise 🔥
Tillis and Cornyn’s acceptance of a loophole-filled deal with Trump and Blanche reminds us that every prominent Republican politician who has stuck with Trump over the last decade is a traitor.
Republicans Let Trump Keep Unparalleled Benefit: I.R.S. Immunity (Gift Article)
The rebellion against Todd Blanche’s nomination to be attorney general, now seemingly contained, at no point fundamentally questioned President Trump’s new protections from the I.R.S.

Remember Trump's disastrous Great American State Fair? He's now asking Congress for an additional $10M to reimburse costs for his July 4th "Freedom 250" flop. That's on top of the $100M+ in taxpayer funds that's already been funneled into his MAGA party planning committee.

The bagger at the supermarket and the car mechanic down the street know Trump is lying his ass off, but the journalists who cover him every day keep passing on his lies to the public as if he might be telling the truth this one time.
Good to know after a tough weekend on the golf course the president is back at work laser focused on improving the lives of Americans by resuming his deranged AI marathon.
Here's what I think about how Marco Rubio is doing:
And this came after the groom had allegedly abused one of the president's aides, Stephanie Grisham?
To the extent that the media is treating this as a horse story: Max Miller is not a some random candidate from Ohio. This is a picture of President Trump speaking at the wedding of Max Miller and Emily Moreno.
“A White House staffer accused of assault by a woman whom the president knew and trusted? It didn’t even seem to register on the president’s radar screen as a concern. To the contrary, knowing what he knows, Trump has endorsed my ex’s bid for Congress.” gift link 👉 wapo.st/44YwTUP
Opinion | Stephanie Grisham: I told the Trumps my relationship with a White House staffer had turned abusive. They didn’t seem to care.
Now comes the effort to destroy me for telling the truth about Trumpworld.

Accused wife and child abuser Rep. Max Miller, whose long history of violence predates his marriage, said this morning he will not drop out of his reelection race in Ohio. So it'll be up to Ohio Repub voters to decide if they have a bottom.
“.. By suing the board of $INTC and the US government, shareholders .. are doing what Congress seems unable to do: push back on the administration’s opportunistic, not very transparent and elastic interpretation of federal law to justify grabbing ownership in companies.” www.ft.com/content/fff1...
UPDATE: “Max Miller needs serious psychological help…. He should not serve in the House…” Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno finally speaks up on Republican Rep. Max Miller allegedly violently abusing his daughter/granddaughter Will other Republicans call for him to resign?
From earlier this week, I wrote about how the manosphere scam works and how the GOP has adopted those same tactics for itself www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Sums up the GOP re: women. Rep. Max Miller is also accused of throwing scalding water on his ex-wife, Sen. Moreno's daughter, and breaking their 2yo daughter's collarbone. BTW, girls who witness rage and physical abuse growing up are much more likely to marry into that situation themselves.
Watching a medical expert try to navigate the nation's response to a deadly pandemic? ENRAGING Hearing your daughter describe how her ex-husband put a gun to her head? Boooooooorrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnngggg
This is what Catholicism look like on JD Vance. It doesn't fit, but he's gonna wear it anyway.
Also 5-7 million people have lost health care…. USAID getting dodged killed kids… our bombs are dropping on kids in Gaza and Iran and Lebanon… and on and on… the worst kind of gaslighting
Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.
