It's already Todd Blanche's legacy that he protected Donald Trump & and the Epstein Class over female victims of sex abuse. Tell your Senators not to make it theirs, too.

After all the reporting on the dangers of Evangelical Christian Nationalism and the viral NPR “women should not be allowed yo vote” interview w Doug Wilson, does anyone but me connect the dots? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/u...

More of this.

Completely—and utterly irresponsibly—unhinged.

Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

"The guild estimated that the new entity would control about 35% of writing jobs for those working on top-grossing films and 36% of television projects."

I think Harry, my editor at Penguin Random House, deserves a medal for all the shit he puts up with from me

Look who is actually anti-women's sports You're never going to be able to guess it on your own You will def never guess it's the people who have been SAVING WOMEN'S SPORTS from approximately 28 trans girls nationwide. www.heritage.org/gender/repor...

Nice touch that the video coverage of this thing is Russia-controlled RT News.

Oh, now he wants National Guard there through certification of the vote and the next Inauguration Day. Big tinpot dictatorship move here ⬇️

The top government official’s “no one should be able to prosecute top government officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by his shirt.

This is akin to Trump raiding the National Parks Service in order to pay for his Reflecting Pool disaster. (Which he has done). Take something that works remarkably well, and divert resources to cronies to deliver something the public did not ask for.

We’ve opened the strait that was never closed, ceasing a ceasefire for a war that was never a war, stopping Iran from charging tolls because tolls are illegal, all so Trump can charge his *own* tolls because *his* tolls are legal. This will hurt affordability which is a hoax anyway

We put the newsletter to bed just before news of the ICE shooting in Maine. I urged a focus on Epstein at Blanche's hearing. But I'd add that Blanche's DOJ has refused to investigate ICE shootings, and has tried to impede states and localities from doing so. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Signed ✅ What about you?

ICE-CBP are sick, twisted sadists and trigger-happy assholes. Murdering an innocent father in front of their kid is a criminal act. How many Kavanaugh Killings is it going to take for this madness to end?

Rewatched The Double Life of Veronique for the first time in years. May have to go on a Kieslowski bender on @criterionchannl.bsky.social cc: @sooner930.bsky.social

Only thing to make it better/more Texas is if this was an armadillo, not a raccoon

Kind of like how we talk about Aaron Burr over 200 years later.

“Not as bad as Vietnam” remains incredible branding for this illegal debacle of a war.

If this is accurate, even a "Trump says this, but evidence does not support it story" will be insufficient. This speech is part of an explicit threat against democracy, to overturn and control democratic outcomes. If we can't call this out clearly, we are lost.

resharing with alt text because this is a legitimate buckle up turbulence ahead moment assuming he goes through with it

We? Pretty rich statement from Private Bone Spurs.

Protesters marched into ICE enabler Susan Collins' office after agents gunned down an immigrant in Biddeford, Maine. Collins voted in favor of $70 billion to fund the rogue agency. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

it's even dumber than you think

If Graham's last words in public include "I can't die now" then we've already maxed out on irony for the month and will have to deficit borrow from August to get by

It's sobering that Applebaum's essay is 6 years old: written before Jan 6, before Trump II started dismantling America's foundations. She says many were scared already but unwilling to move, to take any risk. People who study dictatorships saw the path we were on. Maybe they can help us move now. 9/

Somehow knew this man would become the face of explosive diarrhea

A perfect illustration of what service to power without any fixed principles will lead to

Been reading @karenhao.bsky.social’s book Empire of AI. Nothing that company has done (or anything that’s happened thereto date) gives me much confidence tbh

The ceasefire:

Kimmel ftw 🙌

Please, they're trying to convince people who grew up watching Weekend at Bernie's.

omfg they did the newspaper thing bsky.app/profile/phil...

dear sir, at your earliest convenience, please share with your constituents video of you reciting at least six consecutive letters of the English alphabet while holding a newspaper dated within the last two calendar days.

“PRESIDENT participates in Executive Time”

Said with grace and class

What an incredible legacy.

In fairness, it's how he would have wanted to have been remembered, a tool for a much more powerful man.

"Don't talk about it."

I couldn't help but notice bsky.app/profile/jenm...

"The once-quiet judges see a growing threat in a president who personally attacks jurists ruling against him."

We owe our military service members better than this. wapo.st/4vty9Ku

Elon Musk’s family foundation took Tommy Robinson to Russia, says Musk’s father www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Senator Lindsey Graham has died. His death was preceded by the death of his longtime friend and colleague John McCain in 2018, and by Graham's supposed principles shortly after. Known for saying "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed, and we will deserve it," then enthusiastically backing him.
