CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

www.npr.org/2025/07/30/n... This is a textbook example of “cracking and packing”, just blatant gerrymandering. This cannot go unanswered by blue states, we cannot unilaterally disarm

I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now. I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap. (thread)

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

This is the moment when he realizes what he's become.

Anyone who has worked on intelligence matters understands the importance of apolitical analysis and speaking truth to power. In firing intel officials who did just that, Gabbard proved once again that she is unfit for her position.

Zero dollars were saved by deleting these. They just did it out of spite.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

OMG so remember when Elon said that "people over 150-years-old are collecting Social Security"…..well it turns out he’s a moron and so are those DOGE genius coders he got working for him

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

As if being a teacher wasn’t already hard enough, now this shit.

Now seems like as good a time as any to remind people that Donald Trump picked, as Secretary of Transportation, a former contestant on MTV's The Real World.

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. And in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. By @fastlerner.bsky.social
