We Are Not the Generation That Lets This Die After 250 years of sacrifice, we won’t let apathy be our legacy.

This is good. His stuff always is. The weird thing is, not a single Republican Senator shares his view of America. Some are cagey about their having a different view of our nation. But that's where they are; they allowed themselves to be seduced by a con-artist open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The IRS Is Building a Vast System to Share Millions of Taxpayers’ Data With ICE ProPublica has obtained the blueprint for the Trump administration’s unprecedented plan to turn over IRS records to Homeland Security in order to speed up the agency’s mass deportation efforts.

Emails show that IRS chief counsel Andrew De Mello said a recent DHS request did not comply with the law.

Two days after refusing the demand to turn over more than 7 million home addresses, De Mello was pushed out of the top legal job.

Global scale grift…

The Air Force determined our nuclear silos are crumbling, unsafe, and we need new ones. But Trump is pilfering the funds to pimp out the 747 jet “gifted” by Qatar to use as Air Force.

The same jet he plans to keep after he’s no longer president. Like it’s a parting gift.

Today we were denied entry to an ICE facility in Baltimore where were exercising our oversight role as Members of Congress. The law is clear: ICE is REQUIRED to let us into these facilities.

They just don't want the American people to see what's happening behind closed doors.

As a former Chief Scientist on the Palmer (on the first of the Thwaites Glacier research cruises) I offered to add my name to this letter, but the organisers were advised that support from non-US scientists would not be helpful. This is a sad reflection of how US science in now being administered.

Faculty Support of George Mason’s President Draws Federal Investigation

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ.
The most banal defense of free speech and academic freedom will trigger the full wrath of the US government now.

Little bit of a misplaced modifier here.

N.J. Criminal Cases Screech to a Halt as Habba’s Authority Is Challenged

The saga over Alina Habba's tenure as NJ's top federal prosecutor hit new levels as court proceedings statewide were abruptly canceled. “A lot of judges will not be hearing any criminal cases that are of a non-urgent matter,” a judge said, according to transcript. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/n...

Powerful work assembling the facts and voices and making the case--that Trump indeed has a great deal to hide.

This is quite a quote. Accurate, but hard to believe the GOP remains starry-eyed about him. "Trump is in full mental and physical decline, so bad, that if his cabinet wasn't fully inside his rectum, they would be voting on his removal under the 25th Amendment." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgb0...

Ghislaine Maxwell received limited immunity during meetings with deputy attorney general: Sources A second meeting between Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche took place on Friday for about three hours.

What they’re about to try here is just obscene. What else can you call it?

The police insist they need astronomical sums of money and complete immunity from any harm they cause in order to be ready to protect us and then half the time they just decide they’d prefer not to?

I think we're at a stage where we have to admit the Republicans are capitulating. Trump is giving them what they always wanted but were afraid to admit. It's the GOP's wet dream come true. The decent Republicans fled the party after January 6.

Exactly that. I am so resentful at the blanket capitulation of every Republican allowing Trump to eviscerate basic standards of decency and normalizing things like, say, the President of the United States likely pardoning a convicted pedophile sex offender (after first pardoning 1200 insurrections!)

Drivers vs. Cyclists: A Battle For the Streets in Canada’s Largest City

Really dislike NYT's framing of Toronto's bike lane battle.

Rather than "drivers vs. cyclists," this is a fight over whether Torontonians themselves can decide how to use their streets.

City council voted 21 to 5 against Ford's push to kill bike lanes. You think those 21 represent cyclists alone?!

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...
