Show me a photo of you in the 90s. There’s a great story behind that necklace I’m wearing. It was a gift from Gwar.

BREAKING: LONDON (AP) — British prosecutors announce they are seeking extradition of Tate brothers from US on rape, sex trafficking charges.

Me a month ago: Don’t follow the sport. Never heard of any of these guys—well maybe the one with the easy to remember name, Harry Kane. Me today: Can you believe Tuchel didn’t play Saka against Argentina? The course of world history could have been different! Also, how under-appreciated is Olise…

Andrew Tate is now facing charges involving child sexual abuse material.

I’m on the ballot tomorrow to be one of the 601 delegates to vote on the Maine senate nominee. I may not have much of a chance since the Jackson & Shah campaigns have a combined 750 people on the ballot in a coordinated effort & I am not connected to any campaign. Plus the voting is online. If you

The Alabama Senator who lives in Florida has thoughts about the legitimacy of various Senators.

DOJ asks for an August 14th hearing on their motion to dismiss. I'll provide a link to the full filing once it's up on Courtlistener. END/

Trump has ordered US CENTCOM to open "the gates of hell" upon Iran after US casualties in Jordan, US officials tell NPR. Another US official tells CBS News tonight's US attacks will be much more extensive and larger than previous nights.

As Nolan intended

With Musk buying X and Trump winning in 24 the far right really thought it meant they were popular. Nolan's Odyssey is a blunt reminder to them that they are not, and they hate it.

No real spoilers here, but both OPPENHEIMER and THE ODYSSEY are Nolan's unsubtle commentary on the immense chaos, death, and bloodshed arrogant men have caused by pursuing what they assumed was a righteous cause. And the tragedy is that no one learns the lessons and repeats the mistakes. Hmmmm....

Donald Trump has now spent nearly a quarter of his second term at one of the many golf courses he owns (in Florida, Virginia, New Jersey, California, or Scotland), at an estimated cost to taxpayers of at least $162 million.

Imagine signing up for the military recently, believing Donald Trump was going to keep us out of war. And then dying while stationed in vulnerable places like Jordan because Republicans allowed Trump to attack Iran.

Whenever Donald Trump is losing, he reaches for the same playbook: Relitigate the 2020 election, spread debunked conspiracy theories, and try to convince Americans they can't trust the next election. We gotta call it out.

Yup. They didn’t have evidence when they sued 63 times. They didn’t have evidence in defense against the Jack Smith indictment, and they don’t have evidence now.

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

AOC on a movie that made her cry PabloReports: When’s the last time a piece of art—film, music, whatever—made you cry? AOC: Okay, let me go with the worst time one made me cry. I was on an airplane watching… what is that movie? The one about aliens with a linguist? Arrival. With Amy Adams.

NEWS: The Trump administration has activated a secretive and never-before-used legal process to quickly deport foreign nationals deemed to be “alien terrorists” or their immediate family members. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Trump’s speech proves he couldn’t find a shred of evidence that foreign interference manipulated votes. That will make it much harder for him to seize the election apparatus from states when he’s taken to court for attempting it. That’s good news.

Three congressional Democrats say that as much as $21.5 million paid by ABC, Meta, Paramount and X to settle lawsuits brought by Trump is now missing or has been spent without explanation and requested a full accounting from the foundation building his presidential library.

BREAKING: We've lost two more service members in Trump's deranged, illegal, and unnecessary war in Iran.

I feel seen

I was honored to be asked by @hcrichardson.bsky.social to join her 250 to 250, a public history initiative featuring a series of 250 one-minute videos highlighting the everyday Americans, events, and movements that shaped the country's democracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_KG...

A reminder from an 11th Circuit ruling, penned by the very conservative Chief Judge William Pryor in December 2023, STATES ADMINISTER ELECTIONS, NOT PRESIDENTS. The case was Mark Meadows trying to get his Fulton County case to federal court. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

I feel like some White House reporter needs to ask Trump about the fact that his DOJ has lost 16 straight cases to access state voter rolls and that in 7 of the cases it was before judges he nominated. Oh and point out that I am still not tired of winning.

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

The only thing Trump’s document dump proved tonight was that there was Russian collusion. That’s fucking hilarious to me.

Just want to say that @jaketapper.bsky.social wrote a book on the wrong candidate’s dementia and that should be obvious to every American.

⚓ Rear Admiral Amy Bauernschmidt came up through the ranks the hard way, graduating from Annapolis, earning her wings, commanding a helo squadron, then a carrier, and now a carrier group. And because Low-T Peter just pulled her promotion, she'll never get her second star. Proud of you, Shipmate 🫡

WaPo-Ipsos poll: Trump job approval 37% approve 61% disapprove 71% of independents disapprove

Tonight seems to be the ceremonial kickoff of President Trump’s campaign to interfere in the November election. Trump has badly lost independent voters, even MAGA is disheartened; he is failing and unpopular, and he’s dragging his party down with him in the midterms.

incredible -- more than two hours into this morning's Fox & Friends, "fraud" has not been mentioned a single time and hosts haven't discussed Trump's big primetime speech at all. They have 787 million reasons to ignore it.

🎶 Seven eight seven million, five hundred thousand. How do you measure the price of a lie 🎶

BREAKING: A prominent right-wing group is asking SCOTUS to force Hawaii to hand over its voter rolls after a lower court dismissed the group's lawsuit. At issue is whether federal law requires the state to make that data public.

Remember back in 2020 when we found out about Trump's secret bank account in China, and that China's biggest state-controlled bank had rented out three floors in Trump Tower? I sure do. Interesting timing given his lies about China interfering in the 2020 election. www.nytimes.com/2020/10/20/u...

Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear: 1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close. 2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

🚨BREAKING: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened top election officials in all 50 states and D.C. with criminal charges if they do not comply with the Trump administration’s demands to feed their voter rolls through a flawed federal database. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"Iran’s video was a disinformation effort intended to sow doubts in the election, and Mullin just recirculated its claims..." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Really weird that Todd Blanche claims he can't open an investigation given that there is sworn testimony that his enforcer Aakash Singh has been opening investigations around the country. I guess what he meant is he can only do that if Trump tells him too? www.ms.now/news/todd-bl...
