After watching the California governor’s debate,Becerra is really the only one with gubernatorial chops. I like Katie Porter too, but Becerra outclassed the field. Steyer seemed out of his depth. Meanwhile, Bianco is a nutcase, and Hilton is a creepy slick tRumper with zero relevant experience.

They don’t care about the actual pain, harm, and chaos Rump has caused, only whether his outrageous hubris affects their personal bottom lines and reelection chances. GOP senators grow uncomfortable with Trump rhetoric - The Hill

Iranian people are forming human chains around critical infrastructure. Rump is openly threatening war crimes and saying he is going to bomb innocent people. This needs to stop. Call on your reps and senators, especially if they are R’s. Hand him to The Hague.

Happy Caturday!

Trump is asking the government he leads to pay him billions - this should be front page news, top of the feed, every day.

Six men (so far) who are thought to be co-conspirators in child sex trafficking in the Epstein files: Leslie Wexner of Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Bath and Body Works, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem (torture video), Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo.

@just-jack-1.bsky.social Bunny’s show was spectacular, and the joy in it was infectious. He sounds great in Spanish. Loved the God Bless America, and then naming all the countries in the Americas! However, reading an English translation of the rest of the lyrics this morning was…disappointing.

So, I haven't seen it, but from intrepid journalists who have, Melania the movie has some wild musical choices. It apparently opens with a shot of arriving at Maralago to the Stones' Gimme Shelter, with the lyrics "Rape and murder, are just a shot away"!

Fantastic news! apple.news/Ach6x1akKQZ6...

My guess is that THC has been further criminalized federally in order to create an excuse for arresting more citizens, and to damage the tax revenues of states like California.

This is incredible! My mother died of pancreatic cancer, because there was no treatment then. So this is great news. www.unilad.com/news/health/...

JD Vance on the American economy problems: “You don’t turn the Titanic around overnight.” ?!? Does he realize the Titanic sunk in three hours…after hitting ice.

Somebody’s watching

What exactly is “Antifa”? The word is just a shorthand for “anti-fascist”. Is the latest proclamation a tacit acknowledgment that the regime is fascist?

Overlapping seasons

You guys see where this is going? Right?

Tues Aug 26 marked the 100 year anniversary of voting rights for women. Think about that - half the population of this country weren’t allowed to vote for over half this country’s history. Also, women still only make 85% of the pay that men make for equal work. We still have a ways to go.
