Trump and Witkoff will never end the Gaza war if they keep repeating Biden's mistakes ***

Exactly.

“Biden's team made the same mistake Witkoff is making now: trusting Netanyahu to negotiate in good faith, and believing he cares about the fate of the hostages."

You know why Sean Duffy announced plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon?

Because Donald Trump is a pedophile.

I apologize for swearing but--are you fucking kidding me???

The NYT thinks that judges refusing to give Trump's DOJ the benefit of the doubt is "eroding the healthy functioning of the courts."

For democracy to survive, judges need to be more skeptical and impose greater sanctions for DOJ's lies.

A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.

one of the most obvious lies imaginable (that wasn’t reported as such by our political press corps)

White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.

All those Trump surrogates who touted this, and news orgs that reported it credulously, owe Americans a big fat apology www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

BREAKING: New statement from Virginia Giuffre's family.

"It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal actions."

Please, Mr. President, Keep Talking Epstein Trump's latest ‘defense’ of his old Epstein relationship may be his grossest yet.

"We know Trump does care about himself. And it’s obvious that he cares a lot about keeping the files under wraps. What’s in them that’s more damning than what we already know? Trump presumably knows. He talks and talks, but he doesn’t want us to find that out."

I tell you what, man. The buzzards clearly have been circling and there ain’t much meat left on the carcass. If you’re still there, you’ve got to be wondering, “Hey, what about me?” or “What the f*ck am I still doing here?”

🤣 🤝

This is how his bizarro ICE is working now: "They look undocumented to me."

Even if these Trump motions are inept and meritless, they serve a purpose.

The purpose is terror.

They are meant to terrorize.

Because we all know it’s possible they’ll land on the desk of a corrupt and hateful Trump appointee who’ll find a way to ignore the law.

Seranthony Domínguez woke up on Tuesday as an Oriole and suited up for their day game against the Blue Jays. He went to bed as a Blue Jay, having just pitched against… the Orioles. Talk about a whirlwind. ‌ Trading places: Domínguez was in the bullpen for Baltimore's 16-4 win in the opener … swapped clubhouses after getting traded … then pitched an inning of relief for the Blue Jays in the nightcap, striking out two players he'd called teammates hours earlier in a 3-2 Toronto loss. ‌ "After the first game, I was sitting there hanging out with the guys when they told me, 'Hey [you got] traded, go to the next dugout,'" said the veteran reliever. Domínguez had an upside down "8" on his uniform because of how quickly they had to get him his Blue Jays gear. I'm willing to cut the equipment manager some slack.

Baseball, man.*

Why are we stuck a couple steps behind where the discourse should be? Part of it, I think, is that Dems don't want to say what they think the consequences should be (cough, impeachment). But another part is that the possibilities themselves are very unsettling. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-epst...

some trivia for universities trying to strike deals with the administration is that the vice president pretty recently gave a speech called "the university is the enemy"

Jason Hancock of the Missouri Independent reported today that Missouri Republican lawmakers have inspired a backlash by resisting or overturning measures approved by voters to end puppy mills, expand Medicaid, legalize marijuana, create nonpartisan redistricting, expand paid sick leave, and amend the state constitution to protect abortion rights. Now a bipartisan group of organizations is trying to stop the Republican supermajority from ignoring or overturning the will of voters. In response, some Republican lawmakers have claimed that out-of-state money swayed the votes on the measures they dislike, and are trying to change the process of initiating voter-led petitions, further silencing the voters. Others disagree. Veteran Republican consultant James Harris, who is from the state, told Hancock: “The legislature doesn’t really seem to understand, they’ve kicked the hornet’s nest. We may be about to cross the Rubicon…where the legislature loses a lot of its power.”

We returned to this state we love a little over a year ago to be closer to family. We proudly voted for the measures that passed to improve the lives of Missourians. The Republican state super-majority has countermanded the will of the people. You're gotdamn right they've kicked the hornet's nest.

Compare Scottie Scheffler's season earnings on the PGA Tour ($19.2 million so far) to Joaquin Niemann's LIV earnings ($21.94 million so far). A key distinction: The former's cash isn't dripping with sports-washed blood.

‘What connects us is our airwaves’: How Trump’s public media cuts might leave these communities in the dark | CNN Business In Alaska’s North Slope region — the northernmost county in the US, roughly the same size as the United Kingdom — one small public radio station keeps eight villages connected and serves about 10,000 ...

Local Alaska public stations, most geared toward federally recognized indigenous tribes, received $12 million in CPB funding last year. Maybe a billionaire whose tax cuts amount to dipping his beak in their money could fork over the relative couch-cushion change to help. www.cnn.com/2025/07/29/m...
