NEW: Judge Allison Burroughs in Massachusetts is *pissed* at DOJ. She does not hold back, calling out DOJ's bad-faith litigating in the TPS cases, in addition to the overarching "shameful cruelty" of what the Trump administration is doing. From her latest order in the Somalia TPS case:

Leaving aside the shameful cruelty inherent in eschewing a “wind down period” for people under threat of deportation, many of whom are productive members of our communities who have lived here for years, built a life here, worked here and raised their families here, the Court is mindful of both the Supreme Court ruling and the recent First Circuit judgment in this case. That said, the Court will also not abdicate its responsibility to make thoughtful, wellreasoned decisions after affording all parties a full and fair opportunity to be heard. It is therefore ORDERED that Plaintiffs respond to Defendants’ motion to lift the stay, [ECF No. 97], by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026. The Court further amends the scheduling order on supplemental briefing, [ECF No. 82]. Pursuant to the amended schedule, Defendants’ brief is also due by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026, and any reply brief by Plaintiffs will be due by 5:00 p.m. on August 6, 2026. The Court anticipates a decision on Defendants’ motion, which will be accompanied by a decision on Plaintiffs’ emergency motion if the Court decides to lift the administrative stay, early next week. Should Defendants return to the First Circuit prior to that as they threaten in their motion, the Court will assume that it has lost jurisdiction, which will delay its rulings. SO ORDERED.

The bipartisan House Ethics Committee said it has found “substantial evidence” that GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards repeatedly made unwanted advances toward two of his female staffers and is recommending that the full House vote to punish him on the floor. https://cnn.it/3TEyiNO

This is a good timestamp to mark the question that will decide our democracy: Hey, does it matter that a world-historical con man, unchecked by morals, campaign finance law, or law enforcement, dumps up to half a billion dollars into a race where his party should suffer a historic wave of defeats?

Democrats are pulling away in the generic ballot. So Elon’s trying to buy another election. | LOLGOP Studios

July 29, 2026 was the day reality rebooted. Right up until Axios reported that Elon Musk was reopening America PAC for the midterms, we were

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

Google Earth’s New AI Lets Anyone Fabricate Completely Bullshit Satellite Images

"Tonight I typed just one sentence into Google Earth and put refugees near the Mexican border. Then I planted a nuclear plant in Iran. Then I put a fatal crash on a street in Amsterdam."

At Camp David, Trump pointed to a picture of John F. Kennedy on the wall and said he was a “handsome guy.” Notice how Trump loves to comment on men's looks? Always.

this is deeply and damnably irresponsible, but, also, what’s even the actual benefit for google here? what is the product use case for this?

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
