Holy shit‼️

Watch this clip from Rep Doug Lamalfa’s town hall and you’ll believe this Republican seat can be flipped.

WOMAN: …we will hold you accountable

WOMAN: Anybody who voted for the Big Bull**** Bill

LAMALFA: Watch your language please, it’s a public event

LAMALFA: Put that finger down

Supreme Court Set to Hear Case That Could Impact Who Can Challenge Election Laws Read more here.

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in October in an Illinois case that could determine whether federal candidates have a legal right to challenge certain election laws in federal court. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Payment processors like Stripe--and businesses that discriminate against LGBT people in general--rely on most people not knowing about it.

They want to have it both ways.

Make sure every single person you know who cares even a little knows to pay some other way.

Cuts to Data Collection May Erode Reliability of Economic Statistics

I want to remind everyone as we discuss the CPI/inflation numbers today, from July 30: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics is reducing or ending the collection of data that is used to calculate the Consumer Price Index." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/b...

They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one.

.@kfile.bsky.social: "One thing that we found really interesting was these flight logs from Epstein's private jet, which were part of that investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell. And they really tell you a story of how close these guys are."

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq.

“If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.”

National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.

A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

Grossly irresponsible of the Times to have this ludicrous credulous spin as the top story the morning after a president who rules by fiat proclaims a totally specious emergency to militarize the capital - an editorial insult to our intelligence and our democracy.

US BUDGET DEFICIT SOARS

The deficit jumped 19% to $291B in July. This is despite $21B collected from Americans due to higher import taxes, which led to higher costs on goods like furniture, footwear, and auto parts.

The deficit for 2025 is already $1.63 trillion, up 7% from the last year.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

Here's mine: The Ambassadors, Henry James (thanks lit major Mom!)

Same-sex marriages have zero effect on religious extremists.

A same-sex married couple doesn't prevent your relationship with God or with Christ or your fidelity to Christ's teachings.

So, I'm left concluding that your faith in God is very fragile and weak in the first place.

So, what about the Epstein Files?

yeah they are going to decide this and give republican states enough time to draw new maps

I am shocked by the number of people I see who are worried about the Dept. of Education & PBS being defunded, but consider ChatGPT a “tool” and part of the “inevitable future”. I guess if tech bros told you defunding education was toothpaste thats “already out of the tube” you’d be totally on board.

Dems stop just saying things and actually do something challenge

Donald. Trump. Never. Plans. On. Leaving. Office. And. Is. Prepared. To. Use. The. U.S. Armed. Forces. To Use. Force. To. Prevent. That. From. Happening.

If this is shocking....you have not been paying attention.

Russia hacked the US Federal Court filing system, the NYT reports.

Putin is attacking on multiple fronts.

mamdami is an example to everybody in denial about what the dems have been doing. they see DAMN WELL that what he's doing is working and it's what the people want. that they keep telling y'all can't be done and isn't pragmatic etc etc and y'all keep repeating it kissing their ass like LOSERS

There are currently no “special conditions of an emergency nature” in DC, which the President has to claim in order to take federal control of MPD under the Home Rule Act.

This is unprecedented.

There’s a reason why progressives pushed for:

- campaign finance reform
- expanding the Supreme Court
- voter protection laws
- DC statehood

…because we knew moments like these were inevitable.

…and we were told these democracy protections were “too radical.”

"You don't know the job."

"You don't know that I don't know the job."

"Do you know if you need a warrant signed by a judge to apprehend somebody?"

"This is ridiculous. I'm not a sworn ICE agent yet."

@timmiller.bsky.social grills Dean Cain on Piers Morgan Uncensored:

I will be reviewing applications for the University of Michigan Clinical Psychology doctoral program this fall. If you are interested in applying, here’s some info I prepared for applicants: sites.lsa.umich.edu/aidangcw-lab...

HUGE. The first major court victory involving conditions of confinement at ICE field offices. The judge bars detention in any cell which isn't:

- Restricted by capacity
- Has mats for people to sleep on overnight
- Is cleaned 3 times a day
- Provides hygiene supplies
- Offers free legal calls

Next week they're going to fly her out for a stint on Dancing with the Stars.

As the President federalizes law enforcement in Washington, DC, it sure would be nice to have a functioning Congress. But instead, the House of Representatives is in recess to avoid a presumably embarrassing vote about the President’s involvement in the Epstein affair.

Have any Democratic members in DC made public comments regarding the facist takeover of DC?

Worrying updates from locals in Florida that something bad happened at Alligator Alcatraz. Helicopters have been going back and forth removing inmates.

It’s possible there were several fatalities due to the now month old hunger strike.

Also flooding, diseases spreading and full evacuation talk.
