@betoorourke.bsky.social: "I was just in Oklahoma City, in Omaha, Indianapolis, Kansas City. We're seeing Democrats, but we're also seeing people who say "I routinely voted for Republicans because that's just what we do in our family. But now my eyes are open and I want to know how I can help out.'"

It should be apparent now one should fight the bastard tooth and nail. One shall fight on the beaches, one shall fight on the landing grounds, one shall fight in the fields and in the streets, one shall fight in the hills; one shall never surrender.

TACO what?

Hotel occupancy rates in Las Vegas have declined to approximately 66.7% in July compared to the same period last year, per NYP

“You think it’s because Trump cares about crime in DC? Really?”

@lelandvittert invites @mehdirhasan on his show then loses his mind and cuts him off for making the key point that shows how bad faith Trump’s attempt to distract from the Epstein files really is.

Trial exposes internal tension over Trump’s use of National Guard in LA The trial over the legality of the Guard in Los Angeles as Donald Trump forged ahead with a new deployment in Washington.

NEW: Trump’s deployment of the military on American streets went on trial in California just hours after he expanded his gambit D.C.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s lawyers say the troops strayed from their narrow mission, violating Posse Comitatus. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

A third thing can be true as well—he's only going to have this authority for 30 days, and no criminal justice professional in the United States would tell you that superimposing an entirely new Big Government hierarchy over a city police department can have any beneficial effect in that time period.

EU leaders have released a joint statement before the Trump–Putin meeting, emphasising Ukraine's right to determine its own future and the necessity of its involvement in peace talks.

Hungary PM Viktor Orbán was the only leader to refuse to support the statement.

All these real dictators: Putin, Xi, Central Asia guys & co when talk to Trump they must feel like talking to retared kid with finger on the nukes trigger.

I see how Russian Boxing Federation will soon analyze her DNA and judge her not-woman-enough to play chess and for TERFs to ban her.

Donald J. Trump & ( @realDonald Trump Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN! The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER! I quickly fixed the Border (ZERO ILLEGALS in last 3 months!), D.C. is next!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

Trump whipping himself up about cracking down on DC.

The language - “savagery, filth and scum” - should worry any right-minded person.

UCLA Rejects Trump Demands To Capitulate To Anti-Trans Policies—For Now The university has refused to bow to the President’s sweeping list of anti-transgender demands—bucking a growing trend of large universities that have caved to similar pressure.

1. Unlike other prestigious universities, UCLA appears to be rejecting Trump's demands to throw transgender people under the bus and enact draconian anti-trans policies.

The government is holding their funding hostage and threatening them with massive fines.

Zelenskyy Suggests Trump Give Florida to Russia "Florida should be on the table,” Zelenskyy said. “With Florida, you have cards.”

AI is trained on us; as such, it replicates many of our biases. Yet it's treated as objective & unbiased. Dangerous shit.

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...

Trump’s attempt to freeze UCLA grants is a billion dollar extortion scheme against one of the nation’s premier public universities.

And it will have real world consequences.
Breakthroughs in science stalled, talent lost, and cutting-edge innovation halted.

Real dictator stuff.

So ridiculous. (And so familiar)

Listen to author Michael Wolff says he urged Epstein to release information he had on Trump, but Epstein was worried about what Trump might do to him:

“He said, ‘I may be a pervert, but I’m not crazy.’

He then said, ‘Trump is a man without any scruples.’”

Andrew Cuomo & @andrewcuomo • 10m 0 ... Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman@ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You've had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it. We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don't need it. Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.

Cuomo has truly lost it.

behold: a woman

The Justice Department is picking off Trump’s perceived enemies, one by one.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James’s office vehemently rejected the accusations, underscoring its efforts to hold Trump accountable.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service.

Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

"being an asshole online" truly affects how much of an asshole you are in real life

So Much for the ‘Best Health-Care System in the World’ Republicans used to trumpet the innovation of the American medical sector. Now they’re taking a meat axe to it.

The GOP has “mostly stopped singing the praises of American health-care innovation,” Jonathan Chait argues. “Indeed, they are taking a meat axe to it, slashing medical-research funding while elevating quacks and charlatans to positions of real power”:
