If Mitch McConnell could talk, he would have recorded a video message by now.

Wife. Mama. Grandma. Retired. I love to read, but I think the internet broke my brain. We have a family policy that “boring is good”. We do not want the drama and chaos. My heart is for the homeless mamas and babies. Why can’t we just do the right thing?
El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
Donald Trump dodged the draft but is happy to post photos of himself in uniform while he sends our kids to die in his war.
One of the BEST results of the night

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

And they'll take away women's sports...

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?"
I have been saying this for ages! Misinformation robs people of autonomy. When applied to women’s health it means it is inherently misogynistic!
Timothy Caulfield@caulfieldtim.bsky.social · 2d agoHear, hear‼️ Health misinformation erodes autonomy‼️ Vaccine mis- and disinformation isn’t just a threat to public health, but also to our autonomy theconversation.com/vaccine-mis-... "If we value autonomy for what it really means ... we must take action to address mis- and disinformation."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 13h agoEl-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."

Have James Carville and Bill Maher left the Democratic Party yet? Let me be the first to say, "Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight!"
Last night, russians attacked Kyiv and the region with 24 ballistic missiles — exactly the same number terrorussia used against Ukraine's capital over the entire 2024. russia is erasing Kyiv at full swing live, and the world doesn't give a shit.
Olena Halushka@halushka.bsky.social · 2d agoIn 2026, Kyiv is facing more ballistic missiles in a single night than it did during the entire year of 2024. I can't wrap my head around the hell we're being forced to endure. And there is still no light at the end of the tunnel.
You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

📌I am not kidding when I tell you that I haven't listened to, nor watched, Trump say a combined 27 words in the past 10 years. He comes on, I turn him off. By actions (and words) he is a corrupt, ugly, racist, anti-American moron. I knew that then, and I damn sure know it now.
*And anybody who supports him is completely DEAD to me.

We can’t end gerrymandering until we expand the Supreme Court.
Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 5d agoGerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.
And these people think they’re “The Chosen Ones”? Absolutely Disgusting.
Have you heard the one about Robert Todd Lincoln being present at three presidential assassinations? Well…it’s not true. Here’s an article I wrote on this topic. Robert Todd Lincoln—the only child of Abraham and Mary Lincoln to survive to adulthood—was born on this day 183 years ago: Aug. 1, 1843.
“A Certain Fatality”: Robert Todd Lincoln and Presidential Assassinations
Few people know much about the younger Lincoln today, and what many think they know is incorrect. Lincoln was not present at three assassinations, though he was closely connected to them.

The claim was a lie. Trump had no evidence of vandals. He makes shit up all the time. That's the big story, the never-ending story, the story that needs to be reported over and over.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 5d ago“Trump administration drops Reflecting Pool case, blaming damage on ‘botched’ installation.” A major concession from President Trump’s team after he repeatedly claimed the problem was caused by vandals. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
I’m trying to reconcile Trump still owning Operation Warp Speed as a victory (which it was) with GOP claiming the vaccine killed millions of people. Isn’t the person to blame, then, Trump, not Fauci??
Trump knows exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were hit too. This is what modern warfare looks like, and it further illustrates there’s no plan to win a war with Iran. www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p...
