I hope the understandable disillusionment with Jared Polis in Colorado doesn't lead to this absolute psycho becoming the next governor.

Two Utah nonprofits and their founders have sued Fox and celebrity investor Kevin O'Leary — alleging they were defamed when O'Leary repeatedly claimed on the network that they were operating on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

The 2020 election was not rigged and no votes were changes. Donald Trump's reaction was to sue and incite a violent insurrection in the Capitol. Donald Trump is once again laying the groundwork to try to overturn elections he is about to lose. We need to be prepared and to fight back.

Here is a tip and recommendation: If you haven’t bought it already, order your copy of Brian Tyler Cohen’s new book. It’s a great read and important for the road ahead. Plus, I wrote the foreword. www.harpercollins.com/pages/theday...

Shapiro: "At the end of the day, what they really have is a bunch of conspiracy theories, and they're just trying to suck up to their boss and please him at a time where he is more and more unhinged and disconnected from reality."

How Politico’s Negligence and Ignorance Helped Float Another DHS Lie talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/how-p...

If you missed today’s Trump address, here’s all you need to know: He’s still a pathetic loser.

Credit where due. This hed/dek combo is excellent

“We understand that our safety cannot be guaranteed, but we are in a uniquely vulnerable position and have the right to carry out our duties without worrying that we’ll turn a corner one day and find Brett Kavanaugh standing there in the hallway,” said Justice Amy Coney Barrett

We watched Trump's dangerous and deranged speech so you don't have to. Here are the moments you need to know about:

Critical context about Trump's speech: Trump knew he lost the 2020 election and criminally conspired to subvert it. That conspiracy was based on knowing lies. Not delusions. Not mistakes of fact. Lies designed to preserve and grow his power.

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

This AP investigation into David Brouillette, the ICE agent who shot Durán Guerrero in Maine is genuinely horrifying. Long history of extreme mental illness, chronic violence agst spouses and kids, PTSD and heightened violence from mil service. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Georgia GOP Silent Amid Revelations About Senate Nominee’s White Nationalist Son-in-Law talkingpointsmemo.com/news/georgia...

[email protected], nailing it: Trump delivered a "proof of dementia video."

In early 2025 the Michigan GOP asked the feds to investigate the alleged 2020 voter registration fraud that Trump just mentioned. I ASSURE YOU that if there were any there there then Kash Patel and Pam Bondi would have acted that year. gophouse.org/posts/rep-sm...

“an obvious truth” this guy is high on his own supply. it is not actually an “obvious truth” that some cultures lack the capacity for self-government. that is a proposition that you need to argue. i know wurman does not take me seriously, but i would be interested to see him actually make the case.

Trump will lie about the 2020 election. Trump will lie about the 2026 election. But, if Trump claims powers he does not have, or tries to undermine free and fair election, we will sue and we will win. If you doubt me, take a look at my record in beating him and his allies in court.

Warnock: "The SAVE Act is about saving Donald Trump's power. It's not about saving our democracy. It is a voter suppression bill, pure and simple."

How Politico’s Negligence and Ignorance Helped Float Another DHS Lie

Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

Taking cues from the Manosphere and MAHA, Pete Hegseth plans to screen US Armed Forces for testosterone and offer hormone therapy for men with a T "deficiency." I spoke to an endocrinologist at Johns Hopkins, and you'll be shocked—shocked!—to hear that she thinks this is incredibly stupid:

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche:   "Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."

In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol. Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

We’ve seen this same explosive claim made many times that withers under scrutiny The game is played by making the accusation, having docile media report it, and then the media bury (or not report at all) the eventual resolution

My man looks like Pat Boone being tased

Is it insider trading for the president of the United States to sell access to market-moving information for money?

No matter which conspiracy theories Trump peddles tonight, we know he's just trying to come up with an excuse for unprecedented election sabotage. Trump is desperate, and the GOP will do everything they can to cling to power. The way we stop them is by getting into election protection formation.

A Kentucky company that sells “ghost guns” just got hit with a record-shattering bill. A jury ordered Husky Armory and parent company Up North Media to pay $104 million after 18-year-old Henry Willis bought one and, during a mental health crisis, took his own life. www.nbcdfw.com/news/nationa...

#ELB: “Trump takes aim at US election system, which experts call ‘fundamentally secure’” https://electionlawblog.org/?p=157431

"If you have a president who is insistent that nothing is wrong… then Americans can't be can't have any confidence that he's going to fix it. You can't fix a problem that you refuse to acknowledge even exists."

Booking it back to Minnesota to visit folks on the front lines of the wildfires up in Ely and around the Boundary Waters. Stay safe, Minnesota.

I have a piece in the NYT today arguing that the law should permit victims of ICE abuse to sue not just individual officers, but supervisors and policymakers like Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino. A Democratic president and Congress could do this in 2029. And they could make it retroactive.

"It is an old trick. When men abuse or attack women, society responds by restricting women. Don’t wear that skirt. Don’t walk home alone. Don’t leave your drink unattended. "Now it’s: Don’t allow abortion pills to be mailed because a man might use them to commit a crime." Commentary ↓

The great @radleybalko.bsky.social has a sensible plan for curbing the racist excesses of this administration. Let people harmed by ICE sue the bastards — all the way up to Stephen Miller and Tom Homan. And make the law retroactive. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/o...

In June, NOAA announced that ENSO—Earth’s most powerful natural climate pattern—had entered its warm phase. Our new animation shows a big reason models expected a strong El Niño from the start: a deep pool of warm water building beneath the tropical Pacific since late 2025. 🌍️🧪 (1/3)

“He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” the former police officer’s ex-wife said. “In his head it’s justified. He’s unusually calm about it.” trib.al/Cf7b2KX

BREAKING: Republicans just FAILED to secure enough votes for the “Take Care of America’s Veterans Act” in a massive win for the Veteran Community. The bill would have cut benefits for 1.5 million veterans by changing disability ratings for common conditions like tinnitus and sleep apnea.

In the past month, as arrest numbers increased, ICE has shot at four people, including Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. And in the case of its latest killing, the agency is offering essentially nothing in the way of explanation.
