Of course, if Zelensky dares to mention these latest Russian atrocities (which is Putin’s F-U message to Trump after AK) at his meeting today like he did about POW tortures in the last infamous WH meeting, Vance will start yelling at him that he isn’t thanking Trump enough.

Well, they have been in bed together since long before his first election. #USDemocracy

A pastor has argued that women gave up the right to vote when they got married, as they are being represented by their husband.

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.

One of the answers to this is the regionalization of the GOP, which had a lot to do with education. When I joined, Massachusetts had a GOP senator (who was Black), and a strong tradition of moderate republicanism. The party is now heavily a Southern/Western party. Tectonic movement.

(NBC News) - President Donald Trump's pick to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics was among the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with the White House saying he was a "bystander" who wandered over after seeing coverage on the news. @ryanjreilly.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I definitely miss Joe

Every Republican man is just Lindsey Graham now. Congrats, fellas.

As Rick Hasen notes, the Supreme Court just fast-tracked its new attack on the Voting Rights Act—increasing the possibility that the justices will strike down the law in time to set off another wave of racist redistricting before the 2026 midterms. electionlawblog.org?p=151533

Pete Hegseth doesn’t want to talk about his hugely ambitious missile defense project. Maybe that’s because all anyone knows about Golden Dome is that it will be an expensive, all-azimuth defense against everything that flies - and unlikely to work www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

One month ago, @jennycohn.bsky.social sounded the alarm. The militarization of D.C. was always the plan.

An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza. Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF. #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/isra...

My law firm is currently litigating 48 voting and election cases in 23 states including 7 redistricting cases in AL, GA, LA, NC TX, & WI.

Another horrific series of press rights abuses tonight at hands of LAPD. Initial reports are 4 journalists injured (several bleeding), 3 cameras broken, 5 put in zip ties. All in defiance of state law, a judge's order, and chief's signed order. LAPD can't police itself. Maybe the judge will.

That would really piss off Donald Trump.😂

“By indulging in the spectacle, the Apple boss helped legitimize Trump’s transactional style. .. Cook may see it as a small concession.. but the performance.. signaled to other corporate leaders that pandering is the price of doing business.” @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/tim-cook-g...

DEMOCRACY: DEMOCRACY: I want women to stop facing the Hobson‘s choice of being destroyed or erased if we speak out on behalf of our sisters, or having to walk around with these horrific secrets and knowledge about dangerous men in our universes," Donna Ladd writes.

The U.S. government has fueled decades of world-leading scientific and technical innovation by funding research efforts through grants programs & universities where researchers controlled decisions. In the USSR, no decisions were made by scientists alone. Every decision required political approval.

This is SO DAMN WRONG Let the lawsuits begin

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not. That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

This is a thought provoking analysis based on a synthesis of years of reading psychological and historical research on cults, manipulation, and totalitarian government. Well worth your time to read and consider. How It Happened: Why America Mirrors Donald Trump www.mind-war.com/p/how-it-hap...

It didn’t take long for this prediction to come true. Admittedly, the degree of difficulty on this one wasn’t especially high.

Why didn't Todd Blanche talk to the victims to get the names of the perpetrators?

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

Hearing rumors that the Roberts Court is going to issue a 6-3 ruling declaring that sex trafficking and pedophilia are Totally Legal, Actually.

At “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida, only 1/3 of detainees have criminal convictions—many for minor violations. Over 250 have no charges at all. Seeking asylum is legal. This isn’t about safety or legal v illegal immigration. It’s about targeting people for who they are.

A planned pipeline project is raising alarms for some in the Mississippi Delta. Associates of the Singleton Schreiber Law Firm are urging Mississippi citizens to file a motion to intervene in the construction of the Mississippi Crossing Project before Aug. 5. buff.ly/ZSxnsaB

Speaking of Trump and US nuclear submarines: In April 2021 at Mar-a-Lago, Trump told Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt “the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads [Trident submarines] routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a Russian submarine without being detected.”

We're in federal appeals court today challenging President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship. The Constitution is clear: All children born on U.S. soil are citizens, whether Trump likes it or not.

Excellent, terrifying reporting.

10. As you may be aware, Bessent’s boss was convicted of financial fraud and is making millions of dollars off a memecoin. We can’t say this loudly enough: THE US TREASURY SECRETARY IS COVERING UP FOR CRIMINALS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

9. The Biden administration held that bitcoin was basically a commodity but much of the rest of crypto passed the prior test. This administration has said that no crypto is subject to investor disclosure and some (so-called, memecoins) aren’t subject to any regulation at all.

8. It is a tenet of our securities law that if that is the case, you are subject to disclosure based regulation. By contrast, if you offer something that is purely a commodity (e.g., a barrel of oil) you are subject only to regulations that guard against market manipulation.

7. But we should also talk about the guidance that was rescinded. If you are offering something for sale to the public with the expectation of a profit that you will manage, is the public entitled to information about your compensation, incentives, accounting records, etc?

6. I’m not saying there’s not a case to be made. I’m just saying that this is word salad masquerading as rhetoric. You’re not making an argument, you’re just aping industry talking points. #BeBetter.

5. So much here. First saying that we should be the crypto capital of the world is like saying we should be the meth capital of the world. What is the value proposition that crypto creates? It’s not money. It’s not innately valuable. Why do we want to be the leader in that?

4. To say that the prior administration opposed those technologies is simply to say that the prior administration did not oppose GAAP accounting. The fact that the US TREASURY SECRETARY is shilling for shoddy accounting should scare the dickens out of us all.

3. That is in large part due to the crypto industry which has created an ecosystem where you can “hop” between different blockchains to disguise the trail, can transact with anonymous wallets that hide buyers and sellers and go through digital mixers that scramble all legacy transaction records.
