I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like we're in for another round of public land attacks from President Trump this week.

Why hide all of this until today? Of all days?

Hey Chicago! An ICE contractor is trying to buy our parking meters — and City Council decides whether that happens THIS WEEK. We've got time to stop this, but we need as many people as possible to fight back: tinyurl.com/icepark

Just a slight touch of full-body rigor mortis.

The Strait is open. The Strait is closed. Mitch is alive. Mitch is dead. The war is on. The war is off. We have barred the gates. Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow moves in the dark. They are coming.

Like any good proof of life photo, Mitch McConnell is holding a newspaper to corroborate that he was in fact alive on July 12, 2026.

It's very funny that even his opponent kept looking at the ref like "this guy is fucked, do i have to keep hitting him?"

“But I want to tell you what he was like to hang out with in private when there were no stakes” is a very common response to the death of a person who had immense power in situations with high stakes.

I’m told it was Graham’s sister, whom he had called and who was trying to get there.

Re: Graham, in WSJ: “Minutes later, officials radioed that a caller who reached 911—an unidentified woman who said she wasn’t in the home and was driving from Baltimore to the address—had told dispatchers his front door was unlocked.” Why was woman calling in car from Baltimore? Who called her?

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

If Grassley wins reelection again he could be the first lawmaker to serve in 9 separate decades 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s 00s 10s 20s 30s

I sure hope no one objects to filling those vacancies.

Lindsey Graham Always Needed a Daddy

Listen, I know it’s easy to make Lindsey Graham jokes right now. You guys are doing great.

BREAKING: Lindsey Graham’s sudden death reveals everyone’s wake-up time on Sundays.

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

Good morning to the New York Post reporter who's here for the inevitable "Bluesky Liberals Cheer Graham's Death" article that is surely dropping by lunchtime

My understanding of what is next is that: (1) GOP Governor Henry McMaster will appoint Graham's replacement. (2) Graham's seat was already up for election this year, & he had secured the GOP nomination. This suggests there may have to be a special primary election: law.justia.com/codes/south-...

Indeed. We are not forcing upon Graham the memory of him being a villain, a coward, and a malignant presence in the country; that was the legacy he chose again and again. He earned our contempt, as has everyone else on his path.

Trump on Lindsey Graham: "His moment on Brett Kavanaugh was one of the classics I think in the history of the Senate. When he defended Brett Kavanaugh so brilliantly. Brett might not have made it except for that. They were treating him very unfairly. Lindsey was so angry."

Asked by CNN for his thoughts on Lindsey Graham, Trump’s answer includes the terms “Save America Act” and “deranged Democrats”

Senate Republicans add Lindsey Graham to standing conference call with Mitch McConnell.

Steve Schmidt sucks but he had Lindsey Graham dead to rights here and it was brutal

hours after Lindsey Graham's death, Trump says about his replacement, "I have somebody that I think would be great"

This was his post and I don’t want to hear any lectures from those MAGA dirtbags on decorum….

WELKER: Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is closed. CENTCOM says it's open. Which is it? TRUMP: It's open, and I don't want to talk about because I want to honor the life of Lindsey Graham, so I don't want to talk about it. I told you that before the call.

Timeline for replacing Graham: July 21: filing period opens July 28: filing period closes August 11: special primary August 25: runoff, if they need one

Per South Carolina law -- www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t07c011... -- people can begin filing to run to replace Graham on July 21. This is gonna be fast and opens the door to any SC Republican with Senate ambitions getting in (my first thought was Nancy Mace). Buckle up.

Lindsey Graham comes to a realization at the end of his 20-minute conversation with Mitch McConnell.

By this metric, pretty much everyone in this woman's family including herself should get the fuckin' chair. The McMahons covered up sexual abuse for decades then decided to get in on it themselves in the last decade. Craven monsters.

Quite a quote!

I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.

This is just an incredible statement from a news org. It's almost like ... ok, hold on ... stick with us here ... CNN thinks Scott Jennings is as unreliable a narrator as a lot of viewers do.

Another Cognitive Test!

As the Kennedy Center prepares for major renovations, former project managers there have sent Congress internal documents that they say show how the institution bypassed government contracting norms in work carried out under President Trump.

Kentucky Voter on Mitch McConnell: Your retirement is long overdue. Give it up. We don't want you. You're not representing us well, so don't represent us at all.

“.. It’s quite ironic that a president who has been touting free markets is actually taking on the socialist, hyper-populist playbook — and it’s really alarming,” he added. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/3e3d...

Important statement from the New York Times

We‘re one executive order away from a chocolate fountain.

Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his Senate salary to veterans charities. His tax returns don’t show he did that. So where is it?

Think. About. This. The U.S. Treasury receives the revenue from most of Venezuela’s exports, then disburses it gradually to Venezuela through the country’s private banks…. Mr. Rubio and his team set the conditions on what that money can be spent on, and by whom. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

Scoop: Trump DOJ to drop charges for alleged $722M crypto Ponzi schemer, just before trial. BitClub mastermind said he'd built scam on backs of "idiots" & "sheep." He hired Trump-connected lawyers to lobby DOJ HQ for relief, overruling NJ prosecutors. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

DENVER IT'S HOT AND LORD ALMIGHTY IT'S GETTIN FUCKIN HOTTER. THE FAT CATS AT BOULDER'S NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WITH THEIR "FREE AIR CONDITIONING" AND THEIR "ILLEGAL FRIENDSHIP WITH THE (EVIL) SUN" HAVE SOME ANSWERING TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR FUCKING WEEKEND: FRI: 91°/62° SAT: 97°/62° SUN: 97°/66°

The Maine secretary of state says Graham Platner *has* formally withdrawn from the Senate race. This is ahead of the Monday deadline, and so the Democratic party will be authorized to replace him, by July 27th.
