BREAKING: A judge just granted a temporary restraining order against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger. This means that the merger is officially PAUSED. That's a WIN thanks to the state attorneys general who stood up and pushed back. Let's keep up the fight.

Crucial from @ryanenos.bsky.social: If you doubt Trump might try to seize ballot boxes, recall that not long ago it seemed outlandish that armed government militias would be roving our streets, killing people. On the pod, Ryan is so good on the danger of this moment: newrepublic.com/article/2132...

Crude Oil has 43 days of supply left in the U.S. — the lowest inventory in 45 years @barchart.com ⛽️

Before "the Iranian attack on Friday that killed two U.S. soldiers and left one service member missing in Jordan, Iran carried out three other strikes ... [that] injured dozens of U.S. service members ... But the Pentagon did not disclose the earlier strikes, nor the casualties and damage."

Today, 7/20, is the deadline for Acting AG Todd Blanche to respond to my latest filing demanding: *specific documents from the Epstein Files be produced in the judge's chambers AND *for Blanche to pay a $1000 fine/day until he complies with the rest of the preliminary injunction entered in my favor

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace

Imagine how 'sharp' W is nowadays.

Two U.S. service members were killed and one went missing on Friday in an Iranian attack on a U.S. base.

New reporting has raised additional questions about the background of ICE officer David Brouillette, who murdered Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

So one photo is all we get from Mitch? Seemed like he looked well enough to do an interview. Or a video. Or something.

All thanks, praise and credit to Trump. In fact, nobody ever heard of the World Cup before Trump put it on the map. And that’s why the world loves us again. Amen.

I’m shocked he found a way to make the game about himself.

¡Despierta!

From an anonymous source: “As a VA nurse who interacts with MST Veterans, I can't believe this behavior is acceptable.”

Jonathan Swan says that when President Trump returned to office, he pressured the intelligence community to produce some kind of evidence proving that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump’s Thursday night address was the best they could do.

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

NEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes." /

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

McBride: Donald Trump and his entire administration—it’s like a borderline homoerotic Greek or Roman trilogy that we’re watching. It’s absolutely obvious. These insecure people are playing out their masculinity insecurities for the entire country to see.

🚨🚨BREAKING: CENTCOM has expanded the toll from this weekend’s Iranian attacks. Additional remains found in Jordan believed to be the missing service member (ID pending), plus a separate KIA in northern Iraq during an unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian drone — with a second troop wounded.

The New Mexico attorney general’s office urged one school district to “acknowledge the facts” after a report found Indigenous and Hispanic students often receive harsher discipline than their white classmates for similar infractions.

Politicians usually show up at the border to demonize & fear-monger. We just drove 750 miles from El Paso to the Valley to show off the beauty & potential of our border communities. We’re showing up for Texans along the border who've been left behind by both political parties.

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

Canadian plane dropping water on the Los Angeles forest fire. Neighbors helping neighbors. Thank you so much Canada, we are sorry our current leader is an idiot.

Remember when Trump & Republicans claimed a vague MOU was the same as a comprehensive peace deal and it ended the war? How did that scam work out? Iran got sanctions lifted and sold billions in oil while taking advantage of Dummy Trump as the war continues with no end in sight.

So that’s it. Vladimir Putin convinced Donald Trump that he would win the 2020 election if Trump worked with Russian agents, despite how his chances were looking after failing as US president. And when Russian interference didn’t save him, Donald Trump wouldn’t believe Putin had failed.

Nobody wants to hear about your wealthy "friend" who is thriving while most Americans are suffering. Read the fucking room, you orange dick-with-ears.

Beyond absurd. A budget is a moral document.

LEFT: Canadians helping by dropping water on United States fires. RIGHT: Ungrateful United States bitch complaining about Canadian fires.

Some right-wing press outlets ran with the allegation that Araujo was carrying packets of drugs, which did not do wonders for their credibility: the Houston district attorney's office almost immediately said it didn't credit the claim.

Trump is in a twist about “compromised” voter data that turns out to be names & addresses… less personal information than the average American hands over ordering clothes on TEMU The rest of his myths get the same treatment in this week’s @contrariannews.org publisher’s note👇 -TN

WSMV: “Agriculture Commissioner Andy Holt accused of pressuring Farm Bureau to back Marsha Blackburn for governor… In a lawsuit ex Farm Bureau insurance agent Bryan Rhodes alleged Holt had been pressuring the org to publicly endorse Blackburn.” www.wsmv.com/2026/07/18/t...

Remember why they are in the US in the first place: the Trump administration lobbying on their behalf to free them from Romania.

Imagine watching your neighbour's house burn down and, instead of helping, complaining about the smell of the smoke.

Hollywood Reporter projects the box office opening weekend of The Odyssey at $257 million globally.

OSSOFF on Trump Address: At a moment when his war spirals out of control, instead of focusing on the nation's needs, as always, he nurses his grievances and he forces the rest of us to help him process his shame.

I'll be interviewing one of the survivors that attended the Blanche meeting this Sunday at noon PT on the @meidastouch.com YouTube channel. I'll post a link here Sunday morning.

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.

Abolish ICE. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/o...

I’m devastated to learn of the loss of two U.S. servicemembers and another missing in Jordan, and join every American in sending prayers to their loved ones in this heartbreaking moment.

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.

Texas GOP congressional candidate Brandon Herrera has a history of sexually explicit attacks on women and crude remarks about children — including calling a child a “cum trophy”

A complete list of Lindsey Graham’s sister’s qualifications for running for his Senate seat:

Video captures the moment several Iranian medium- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles struck Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan overnight. The attack killed at least two U.S. service members and injured several others, according to U.S. Central Command.

“It’s easy to identify ICE.” Really? Plain clothes, face coverings and a botched airport arrest made this look like a mugging. When bystanders intervened, the agents abandoned the arrest without displaying credentials. Prepare for ICE with PAXIS.app. Help keep it free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

I was asked to do a cable TV curtain raiser for Thursday’s speech The forecast: a comically loony mish-mash of famous conspiracy theories && boy did Trump deliver Full recap, in this week’s @contrariannews.org publisher’s note👇 -TN

Donald Trump released classified documents which incriminate himself, proving without a doubt there was Russian collusion. Trump several campaign aides, his family and other associates were directly involved with Russian agents, attempting to discredit Joe Biden in 2020. He is so stupid. I love it.

Since Donald and the Republicans refuse to state Mitch McConnell's condition, I say we simply presume him to be dead and head on with our plans. 👠

Rep AOC (D-NY) knows that we can’t leave the South behind we are doing important work to take back our state legislatures and to get Democratic judges elected. Tell your friends the further down the ballot you go the closer that politician is to affecting your personal life.🗳️🗳️
