Sounds like a good plan.

A statement from WIRED leadership.

www.reuters.com/legal/govern... Breaking ABC and NBC WILL NOT AIR TRUMP'S SPEECH TONIGHT MORE OF THIS PLEASE

These cowardly wastrels will clap like trained seals and use clips in their election campaigns. Not one Republican will stand up for the very system upon which our democracy rests. The shame and disgrace of it all will forever be stains on this country—assuming that we still have one.

NEW: Six more US House races shift in the direction of Democrats, per Cook Political Report analysis

Former Governor and Social Security Administrator Martin O’Malley is right: I’m laser-focused on fighting for YOUR Social Security.

Rep. Thomas Massie has announced he'll introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, a bill to give state AGs, DAs, 'authorized state officers,' and victims the right to sue DOJ for "unlawfully withholding, redacting, delaying, concealing, removing, or failing to publish Epstein-related records."

I can believe this. A lot of biomedical people have either moved off country or to private labs. And they're now trying to bring in a THIRD NOMINEE for CDC director. 🙄 Its just so fucked up.

Beef turned into a luxury this year. Here's the part nobody says out loud: four companies control about 85% of beef packing. They set what the rancher gets AND what you pay. There's a 1921 law and a bipartisan bill to fix it. Let's use them. https://rachelfortn.com/blog/lets-talk-about-beef/

WHITEHOUSE: How long do you intend to put up with Kash Patel? Are you good w/ his airplane jaunts, are you confident he's not drinking on the job, are you sure he knows what he's doing? BLANCHE: That's an extraordinarily obnoxious question. I have full faith in Patel W: Great. You get to own that

Another "run of the mill" corruption story - relevant to today's hearing on Trump's Attorney General nominee: It's the story of Grab A Gun, a company that put Don Jr. on its board and (VOILA!) got DOJ to change gun regulations to give it a corrupt head start in the market.

of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most ever

Hey man maybe handing dod to a guy whose main skill set is “masculinity influencer for dumb guys having a midlife crisis” was a bad idea bsky.app/profile/mjga...

Meryl Streep chimes in 💯💯🎯

I’m so tired of these traitorous Trumpsimps getting away with treason

A newly-installed eel ladder, one of the first in Maryland, helps endangered American eels pass over Harford County's Eden Mill dam — and benefit the surrounding ecosystem.

Photographer Jack Brauer documents the beauty of the Grand Staircase-Escalante land Just heartbreaking 💔 www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/esca...

Corrupt government allowing collusion and monopoly.

Because lots of people will believe them and pay the bill… and that amount will be about double what the insurance company pays, maybe more. And that’s the scam: Make people think they HAVE to pay the bill so they can double their profits. Watch out for this one. www.cbsnews.com/news/ambulan...

Marco Rubio oversaw the closure of USAID with no input from Congress, and this is how they are using taxpayer money

So opposing the advancement of women and people of color who serve our country is the position of the Republican Party?

Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.

America has death squads. People of a certain age may recall that in the 80s, such gangs of roving RW government executioners stalked El Salvador and Guatemala; they were a symbol of state and societal collapse into barbarity.

Governors Spencer Cox & Wes Moore are showing America how to "Disagree Better." A Republican & a Democrat proving that opposing political views shouldn't destroy basic human decency. This #CupOfJoe has less outrage & more respect! Basic decent values. How refreshing!

Interesting. McConnell’s “proof of life” photo dropped shortly after this segment. 🤔 Gov. Beshear says Republicans changed the law to stop him from appointing a U.S. senator if a vacancy occurs. He argues the Kentucky Constitution gives him that authority and says he’s ready to fight it in court.

Odd that Lindsay Graham had problems with his heart and Donald Trump has problems with his brain—two organs they showed no signs of having.

Jayapal: I’m somebody who feels like it doesn’t matter what you want to call it, but we have to disband ICE. We have to melt ICE. We have to abolish ICE. Whatever word you want to use, what we need to get to is the end result: ICE should not exist as it exists. And DHS should not exist as it exists

🚨 New from McCONNELL: "I took a fall which landed me in the hospital." “My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital."

A major win for accountability and human dignity! After more than 3,000 complaints of medical treatment, food, water quality, and other conditions, a federal judge has ruled that WA health inspectors must be allowed inside Tacoma’s immigrant detention center.

CA leads the nation in scientific advancements & cutting-edge research. White House Office of Management and Budget new proposed rule puts all this in jeopardy & makes way for politically motivated decisions that serve the President over science.   They must rescind this rule immediately.

From Matt Yglesias. Political scientist here, and I'm speechless. Like, a guy who sat through one lecture on the spatial model of voting and called that good enough for a pundit career?

Lindsey Graham attacked sexual assault victim Dr. Christine Blasey Ford so he could elevate her abuser to the Supreme Court A shameful moment in a life defined by so much hatred and abuse in service to another sexual predator: Trump

Not sure why the FBI would be involved with a heart attack.

This is a great piece, Anne. Thanks for re-upping. The powerful become complicit with the tyrant because they want to stay powerful. The hacks who could never gain prominence in any other situation become complicit to achieve glory.

There’s about 264,000 people uninsured in Kentucky. It’s crazy that Mitch McConnell's dead body is receiving better healthcare than the people in his state. 🤷‍♂️🔄

He’s just a commentator! We don’t know whether anything he says is true! Please tune in Monday at 10 pm EDT. Who knows what Scott will say then! www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-throws-s...

Albania’s anticorruption prosecution service is investigating whether the deeds to a stretch of protected coastline earmarked for a Jared Kushner-backed resort were forged, according to case files reviewed by the Reuters news agency, (cont.) www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

While driving on Highway 1 in California, I saw a sign for elephant seals, so I immediately turned around and parked. To my surprise, I actually saw them! The entire beach was full of elephant seals, and the viewing platform was super close to them; I could hear their calls!

Donald Trump cannot cancel elections but he can try to make it harder for people to vote and easier for the GOP to cheat. That includes misuse of the federal government and inciting his MAGA mob of election vigilantes. We need to be ready to send up and protect elections.

I have always appreciated Marc and his team but even more so since he broke down why the voter file is the holy grail of election manipulation for my Substack. Link to my discussion with him in nect skeet 1/

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”

Jay Clayton is Trump’s nominee to serve as Director of National Intelligence. As the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, he just issued a subpoena to the New York Times over its Air Force One reporting - a brazen act intended to intimidate a free press. We can imagine how he’d abuse his power as DNI.

"if I was trying to ruin American leadership in scientific research this is pretty much the kind of rule I would write"

A video that shows a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest inside a Salt Lake City home went viral this week. In it, agents restrain a middle-aged man and a teenager while a woman screams, “Get out of my house!”

Comments due by Monday on the attempt to politicize science/aka kill American research as we know it. Do it at the link (counter the ton of Heritage-foudnatoin-prompted comments): www.regulations.gov/document/OMB...

An example of the magnitude of the error is that USDA’s July 2nd report said that the U.S. exported 38,434 metric tons of beef to Chile. The actual figure was 367 tons. Brooke Rollins is utterly useless, sure, but these continued errors are the outcome of an administration that is fact-resistant.

“This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.” {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/b...

"...And many of these workers who are citizens are being harmed by these changes," UFW President Teresa Romero said. "[Employers] preferred to bring these workers, pay them less, have more control over them, and displace the workforce that is here right now." www.npr.org/2026/07/10/g...
