Trump dump…or slump. Either way, it’s bad. Mike Rogers wants to rubber stamp this. I want to stand up to it.
Gutwrenching, and yet again underscores the carelessness and selfishness of those who started a war with no thought of global impact, no achievable goals, no way to win, and now, no way to exit. Damage, already done. Thanks @msnowreports.bsky.social for telling this story about military families.

NBC: New Mexico sues the Dep't of Justice and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, saying the federal gov't blocked the state’s ability to investigate the sex crimes of Jeffrey Epstein at a ranch there. There is nothing more deep state than covering for a pedophile. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
Newsweek: Two GA Republican mayors are supporting Jon Ossoff’s reelection: “You talk to farmers in South Georgia. They can get him and his staff on the phone. They can get help. You talk to Republicans in Houston Co. they know that they can reach out to Ossoff.💙 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
Female elephants usually love the opportunity to nanny younger siblings and members of their herd. Naleku takes this to the next level: In late 2025, she left the dependent herd early, refusing to enter her bedroom to instead spend nights out in the wild caring for ex-orphans' calves.
Traffic Stop – Elephants Coming Through! One of this week's missions: helping 30 bulls navigate both a railway and a highway crossing. Working with KWS, the SWT helicopter shepherded them through the railway underpass and towards the Mombasa Highway. Three hours later, all safely in Tsavo.
Most Nursery mischief traces back to Pardamat – and he wouldn't have it any other way. He spars daily with Olomunyak for the rank of second-strongest bull, hogs the best scratching post, and generally keeps the Keepers on their toes. But he can also often be found quietly with Talek.
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.
That means a future attorney general could potentially recreate the fund. The fix is simple formally amend or void the settlement itself (with all required parties’ consent) or have Congress prohibit the fund through legislation. Until then, the door remains open.
The Trump administration may have agreed to scrap the proposed $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, but there’s a major loophole. The order rescinds the fund for now, but it may not permanently amend or terminate the underlying settlement that created it.
companies, including Suncor Energy, to help cover the costs of climate-related disasters like wildfires, extreme heat, and flooding. The county argues the companies hid the risks of fossil fuels while communities were left to deal with the consequences.
The ruling follows the Supreme Court’s June decision that cleared the way for the administration to end the humanitarian program, leaving hundreds of thousands at risk of losing their legal status and facing deportation.
A shout out to everyone defending the last ancient cottonwood in Arizona. 💚✊
Mainstream media isn’t talking about it, but bulldozers and construction crews have descended upon Texas’ Big Bend National Park as the Trump administration moves forward with its border barrier project. The project will permanently damage one of our nation’s greatest natural treasures.
standards covering math and literacy instruction, class sizes, health screenings, home visits, and other core services. It would even eliminate the requirement that children brush their teeth after meals. The Trump administration’s overall goal with these changes is to completely gut the program.

Placing a close political ally in charge of the office risks undermining its independence and the credibility of its investigations. It is basically the fox guarding the henhouse.

It’s extremely easy to explain all of Trump’s posts calling the resistance “communist.” If you look at where things stand, their party no longer represents the “law and order” message it once claimed. Trump is so associated with Epstein, no one is sure if it’s the Epstein list or the Trump list.
His administration’s treatment of the military, his financial gains and self-dealing, while the economy continues to struggle and Biden is still blamed for problems happening under him. They are so desperate they are bringing up the pandemic.
