We're all tired of this loathsome piece of shit.

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

The 2020 U.S. election remains one of the most debated in modern history. A review of court cases, audits, recounts, intelligence reports, and investigations shows a more nuanced picture than many headlines suggested. 🧵1/10

Remember when Freedom250 spilled some diesel on the National Mall in May? It cost the National Park Service nearly $2 million to clean that up, according to the rushed, no-bid contract I just found.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

For everyone hyping up Trump’s speech tonight like it’s going to be some kind of revolutionary proof of election fraud: Why is he saying it on national television and not to a grand jury? Why has nobody been charged with anything? Should be a slam dunk case, right?

So much here. Gonna be a short thread. Rogan's evidence that the L.A. primary was "super sus" – as he very youthfully says several times – is that L.A. voted for a sales tax increase to fund hospitals and health insurance for low-income people. That's it! They voted for something he wouldn't have!

I’m not sure how getting sandblasted by twin jet engines while watching your kids clutch their ears in pain, possibly suffering hearing loss can be the highlight of anyone’s day. But then again, Eric Trump is extremely stupid, so…

Epstein Survivor Dani Bensky testifies before Congress that acting attorney general Todd Blanche lied under oath during his testimony yesterday. She had to BEG the attorney general to take down her PERSONAL INFORMATION in a case where the DOJ is SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT VICTIMS.

Folks. Folks! FOLKS!!!

this administration is so corrupt even the teleprompter guy is making six figures on insider trading

Booker: Okay, but this is the thing that really bothers me. He’s telling me, “I am concerned about Ghislaine Maxwell’s safety” But I am not even going to meet with the victims to get them the justice they deserve. It is so disqualifying for this man to have sat there today and said that to me.

every 5 months you hear "Joe Rogan is turning on Trump" from people in the media who don't actually watch rogan and take the bait like it's susan collins casting a line when in reality this is literally what he says almost every single day about democrats including fucking yesterday

"Reclassifying career government workers is a way to centralize power in the executive branch, by removing subject-matter experts who have served through multiple administrations, dismissing independent panels that were appointed through non-partisan processes, and the like."

If this was in the first term, it would have been a five alarm fire. This probably will drop from news coverage before the weekend starts. That's the problem with democratic backsliding. It distorts values on what is a shocking abuse of power, and turns it into a same old same old news story.

“The plaintiffs say O'Leary's comments have brought ‘severe reputational damage and significant economic harm,’ including the loss of clients and business opportunities.”

Weird how there’s just always an epidemic disease outbreak with this guy. prospect.org/2026/07/16/h...

a couple GOP senators seem to have mild doubts over whether Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is qualified to be the top attorney in the country they *should* have strong doubts over whether he’s qualified to be an attorney at all ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Kind of an incredible situation that the networks have to fear retribution if they don’t air the President’s lies. No such concerns when it came to ignoring a Biden speech.

21c Know Nothings are as nasty and weird as what came before.

If only a dedicated group of scientists had warned us about the record heat, torrential flooding, continental scale wildfires, and apocalyptic orange skies

A new report documents widespread civil rights violations by immigration agents in 2025. The report examines immigration enforcement incidents in eight states and found that over 400 of more than 1,200 incidents examined involved misconduct by immigration agents. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

What I'll be watching tonight instead of listening to the never ending lies from the WH about "rigged" elections:

How To Steal The 2026 Election Tonight Isn't About 2020… open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

"What the federal government has been doing to people assumed to be immigrants is different from normal police brutality. It is a targeted campaign. We are witnessing, for the first time since Jim Crow, American death squads."

Honestly. YOU ENABLED THIS! YOU CAN END IT. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

ICE actually took a step to reduce the likelihood officers kill someone—not enough, doesn’t address other problems, but a step in the right direction—and Trump intervened to reverse it. Killing innocent people isn’t a problem the White House seeks to avoid, it’s apparently a goal of their policy.

It's true. Trans rights means one semiconductor factory per trans person.

Jim Acosta says the media should not air Trump’s speech tonight. I’m definitely in agreement. It’s a fascist stunt meant to brainwash the public even more. #Pinks

What's the betting that this spreadsheet will end up in evidence in some sort of proceeding?

“Realbotix, formerly known as Tokens.com, rebranded after acquiring the hyperrealistic sex doll company RealDoll in 2024.” If you were wondering why the robot looked familiar.

The shootings will continue until morale approves

Political prosecutions are just part of a more radical reinvention

Trump admits who his bill really helped…

"I'm not lurking. I'm observing with intent."

part of the reason it feels so bad to live in the US these days is that the trump guys have basically made the whole country into a red state. this is what that lack of governance feels like: diarrhea outbreak

The govt is intervening in Trump's lawsuit against BBC to help him defeat discovery. In doing so they say, "well, everything is available." Except it isn't, of course. DOJ started deleting stuff that was publicly available. And now they want to say that maybe public collections are not authentic.

I can see the 302 now — Local idiot slumlord hired unqualified cronies through no-bid contract with fatally rushed timeline, then drove through the work before it was finished, leaving deep grooves that caused lining to split and crack and float to the surface. No ties to ALGAE-FA detected

The president lacks not only a coherent strategic concept but an elementary understanding of what strategy is.
