russia: “Everything’s fine”.
Also russia: closes half its airspace and watches refineries glow.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

White House Lashes Out Over Clip Of Trump Being Led Around By Japan PM—But The Full Video Is Even Worse

There's no spinning this.

Amy Nixon (@texasrunnerDFW) writes: “Why are our tax dollars subsidizing Lobster for SNAP recipients?” Below is a screenshot from an online grocery listing for lobster tails priced at $9.99, marked “SNAP EBT eligible”, from Whole Foods Market.

Melanie D’Arrigo (@DarrigoMelanie) posts: “Why are our tax dollars subsidizing private jets for billionaires?” The image below is a CNBC headline reading: “Tax cuts for private jet buyers expected to lead to surge in sales,” written by Robert Frank, published July 14, 2025.

Don’t be like Amy. Ask the bigger questions like Melanie.

The Office of Naval Research (for historical and other reasons) has been an important supporter of innovative research (including for me early in my career).

This is deeply worrisome and incredibly stupid.

The Art of Letting Trump Claim a Win, While Walking Away Stronger

Trump bungled China policy so badly he had to run to Xi to beg forgiveness and surrender. Everyone knows it. In the "deal", America gets nothing, not even a return to status quo.

Trump has now totally abandoned his promise to "get tough" on China.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Since winning a PA Supreme Court majority, Ds have:

- Erased GOP gerrymander
- Upheld mail voting
- Rejected Trump bid to overturn results

So you can imagine why Rs really want to seize the majority ahead of ‘26 + ‘28.

Which brings us to Tuesday’s crucial election: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

DHS Ordered OpenAI To Share User Data In First Known Warrant For ChatGPT Prompts Filed by child exploitation investigators with the DHS, the warrant reveals the government can ask OpenAI to provide information on anyone who enters specific prompts.

A DHS warrant seeking ChatGPT user prompts “means it’s more important than ever for OpenAI and other AI companies to think about how to limit the amount of data they collect on their users,” EFF’s @jenlynch.bsky.social told @Forbes.com.

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says: Dear [REDACTED], Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes: • Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation". • Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23. • Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice. And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win. She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security. Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

What many don't realize, is that Ukrainian strikes from last 2 years on russian refineries are always aiming at specific part of refinery.

Cracking Units.

This basically stops Russia from ability to refine crude into useful fuels.

This is why Russian issue of lack of fuels is snowballing.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.
