House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Terrible. The bill now goes to the Senate. Make those calls. 202-224-3121

This is hilarious.

The silence from the game broadcast crew when they returned was cowardly and very, very rude. They didn’t even acknowledge the show or the artist.

No argument here

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Washington Post Begins Sweeping Layoffs

Note from the editors: ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement. The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

Is America Hitting a Breaking Point? A Saturday Prompt

I included in this essay yesterday a link to some documents alleging Trump’s pedophilia. Today those pages have been removed from the DOJ website.
www.americaamerica.news/p/is-america...

Two days ago, the president used his social media platform to endorse this "phenomenal candidate" and to urge "all America First Patriots" in the district to get out and vote for her.

Today, he says he doesn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it.

He's lying or demented or both.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

And while I'm a bit annoyed that we missed out on a test against an Arsenal squad in mid-season form, maybe actually to some extent it's a good thing to have avoided them.

Harper is the hero for kicking off the scoring in 2026. Gotham going from third place here to their third star in November!

Just a fantastic Harper goal.

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Americans have lost more than $333 million to crypto ATM scams. I introduced an amendment to a crypto bill that would give law enforcement the tools to go after these scams and their perpetrators, but Senate Republicans just voted it down.
