Cornyn Says F.B.I. Will Help Find Texas Lawmakers Who Left State

Of course they are. It’s a coup. And it’s ongoing. The federal government is now assisting state law enforcement to force a vote to change the congressional map to favor the party in power.
The democracy doomsday clock just clicked a couple ticks closer to midnight.

Opinion | Universities Have Woken Up to Find They’re in Bed With an Ogre

Here is a gift article link to my friends at Bsky :) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/o...

It is apparently an audio interview with 3 opinion writers.

I am not sure if it was different originally, but the article as it's currently entitled reads differently:

Only way to calculate the advantage would be to tally the number of states w/ D governors, then add up all the districts in ea. state. If we do this, there is a slim majority for Ds, but you’d also need to determine ea. Gov.’s willingness to go along & redistributing rules for ea state. What a mess!

The’ve tested these messages on stupid people and they work extraordinarily well.

They then distributed the messages to a combination of stupid and evil people for repeating (some are even both, but that is not a prerequisite).

Thanks for your reporting

Lindsey Graham gets called-out. A glorious moment. More of this, please.

"Are you trying to re-write history to distract from the Epstein matter, Senator?"

This is what protesting does. And investigative journalism, and strong opinion pieces. And minority party pushback. It demonstrates that people are fed up, which gives mainstream journalists an audience for occasional afflictions of bravery. Bravo! 👏

Time to quit?

Under Trump, Paramount’s merger deal must include a “bias monitor” The company also had to agree to ditch its DEI programs.

The new “Bias Monitor” reports directly to DJT.
That’s not monitoring bias, it’s creating it! (duh)

If you work for #CBS congrats, you now work for state media. (This would be a good time to quit so you can still live w/ yourself)

Even if he were South of the Border, he should be able to claim innocent passage if he never went ashore.

A Coast Guard ship would also have GPS records of their position at all times in their navigation software.

Todd Blanche was also DJT's personal lawyer in his criminal trials. He also represented Rudy Giuliani and Paul Manafort. How is this not a conflict of interest!? It's a crime syndicate - full stop.

What part of this equation is she having so much trouble seeing?

United States Park Police (U.S. National Park Service)

This is really messed up. They appear to be operating under this banner: www.nps.gov/subjects/usp... which is apparently a legit arm of the national park service.
They probably think they can get away with it in DC because of National park properties there.

Doesn’t make it right, but there it is!

The Western Arctic is under threat, protect one of the most important ecosystems on Earth Add your name today and tell the Department of the Interior: Don’t trade these essential and sensitive Arctic ecosystems for short-term oil profits.

The Western Arctic is a globally significant ecosystem that supports countless species and Indigenous communities who have lived in relationship with this land for millennia. Now, the Trump administration wants to remove protections from 13 million acres. Take action to keep these lands protected.

It does not exist.

We lost these fights. We can point to how morally and economically bankrupt the sum total of all of this is, but it's now time to start laying out a PLAN to restore renewable energy investments, defund ICE, rebuild agencies, and restore medicare funding, while reversing the tax cuts for the rich.

This update from the UN lays in stark contrast to the stupidity now running the show in WA DC. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

But we just trashed our investments to "own the libs".

The EPA just appointed longtime industry lobbyist Kyle Kunkler as its top pesticides official.

He’ll now oversee a rule to protect people and endangered species from toxic pesticides — the very rule his Big Ag trade group spent years trying to kill.

You have made the case. Now it's time to flex whatever power you have. No business as usual. Pointing out problems is not making a difference. They. Don't. Care. About. What's. Right.

The official numbers just dropped on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.

Trump officially made the biggest cuts to health care in US history.

Trump made the biggest cuts to food stamps in US history.

Trump added $4.1T to the debt to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich and corporations.
