Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.

The fact that Trans service members who are forced to leave the military are being denied early retirement pension if they are 15-19 years in, is angering and should anger all Americans.

Meanwhile the draft dodging fat-assed douche canoe clown balls of a President dodged the draft.

Opinion | The MAGA Congressman Accused of Threatening His Ex With Revenge Porn When you’re MAGA, they let you do it.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

It’s not surprising that the Republican Party’s leaders don’t seem to be taking the abuse allegations facing Florida congressman Cory Mills very seriously, our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes. He “embodies America’s ruling ethos: When you’re MAGA, they let you do it.”

“A Republican is somebody who couldn’t enjoy eating unless he knew someone else was hungry.”

EXCLUSIVE: @timmiller.bsky.social spoke to Andry as he shared his journey through U.S. detention that led to imprisonment in El Salvador. He speaks about abuse, survival, and rebuilding his life through faith and his hope for the future.

FBI will help locate Texas Democrats who fled the state, Cornyn says Texas GOP have been threatening the state legislators with "legal consequences" for breaking the quorum.

Federal law enforcement is being used to literally hunt down Texas Democrats in Illinois so Republicans can draw new electoral maps and disenfranchise millions of people.

An extremely scary precedent is being set right now and Illinois is the first proving ground: www.axios.com/2025/08/07/f...

So in other words, it won’t be the truth

On National Purple Heart Day, I wanted to recognize the nearly two million individuals who put their lives on the line for our country.

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

On Jan. 6, Jared Wise urged rioters to "kill" cops.

"You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo," Wise yelled.

Trump dismissed Wise's Jan. 6 case, and the DOJ hired him as a senior adviser.

We got the bodycam video showing Wise on Jan. 6.

Another wild scoop on NPR from @tomdreisbach.bsky.social: Video shows a man on Jan. 6 shouting for the crowd to kill police: “Kill ‘em!” He admitted saying it.

One of Trump’s first acts in office was to cancel his trial and hire him for a job at the Justice Department.

"The Voting Rights Act was not a gift. It was a victory. But victory doesn't mean finality. Laws can be signed-but they can also be stripped, eroded, or ignored. So we fight. Not just for the memory of 1965—but for the future our elders bled for us to have. We are the children of the movement. We are the legacy of resilience. And we're not backing down."

If trump did nothing “concerning” while spending time with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein - as Ghislaine Maxwell says - then there shouldn’t be a problem releasing the Epstein files in their entirety (with survivors’ names and PII redacted.)

Jessica: As for the manufacturing boom which he is talking about—in the latest jobs report, we lost 11,000 manufacturing jobs and the manufacturing industry has contracted the most we have seen in the last nine months,

Noticing a pattern here.

I hear the Vance strategy session has been cancelled for tonight.

Pity. It looked like a productive agenda.

Headline of the Day:

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I held a Veterans Town Hall in Auburn to hear from our former service members about how they can best be supported. We’ve seen reckless, unnecessary cuts to the Seattle VA over the past few months, but I remain committed to helping our veterans access their benefits and essential care.

On left:

ABC: Ghislaine Maxwell told "Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern."

On right:

Maxwell said same about Epstein, under oath.

DOJ 2022: "Simply put, the defendant lies when it suits her."

Whatever is the truth, she's no source for it.

Donald Trump, a simpleminded, deeply dishonest man, thinks:

1. If you don't test for COVID, you don't have as many cases;

2. If you don't honestly report bad jobs numbers, you'll have more jobs; and

3. If you destroy the satellite that monitors greenhouse gases, you won't have climate change.
