MILITARY PURGE: Navy Secretary John Phelan has been FIRED, effective immediately.

Hung Cao will take over as Acting Secretary. Prior reports raised questions about his claims of being “blown up” in combat, with his Navy record lacking a Purple Heart or Combat Action Ribbon.

4 Democratic members of the House have died in office since this Congress started in January 2025. (That's roughly 2 percent of the Democratic caucus elected in November 2024.)

Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: Our message to Florida Republicans is fuck around and find out. If they go down the road of a Desantis dummymander, they'll find themselves in the same situation as Texas Republicans. They started this war. And we're gonna finish it.

It’s giving Miss Havisham wandering around her crumbling mansion in her yellowed wedding dress.

Rep. David Scott, a Democrat of Georgia, has died: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Scott, who is 80, faced a lot of pushback for choosing to run for reelection this year, amid reports he'd skipped voting in many recent cycles (inc. 2024 presidential race) & faced multiple primary challengers in May

What the fuck lmao

i think it’s bad that the president is an openly racist piece of shit and i think aides who post racist screeds on his behalf are even worse (trump would not use “warped and pervasive policies”)

He’s just going all in on firing all the women first, huh? Don’t get me wrong, they all deserve to get shitcanned, but it is notable.

Trump’s Fed Chair Nominee Fails the Big Test The senators grilling Kevin Warsh didn’t cover themselves in glory either.

Trump's nominee for Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, had his confirmation hearing yesterday. He needed to answer 2 questions:
1) Is Trump’s criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) What would Warsh do if Trump threatened retribution against *him* as well?
He couldn't answer 1. Wasn't even asked 2.

I truly cannot wait to watch the results come in on November 3rd when we all get to watch in real tike as the TX dummymander blows up in Republicans faces

One must be well turned out to drink a Pina Colada at Trader Vic’s 🐺

Grinding this post down to a fine powder and railing it

It is fun to watch the dog catch the car in real time.

Give me a fucking break. Dark thoughts? Relationship stress? This was a domestic violence mass murder. He was a family annihilator.

Texas Republicans started it and VA Democrats fucking finished it

Not a whole lot here

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

It Happens

If you want to tell me what’s happening at 5:30p at DOJ, message me. I’m on Signal at crg.32

This is axios, don’t read the fucking story, but I wanted to note how enraging it is for them to say “a job in the administration” and include “Supreme Court justice” on the list.

Breaking news now Trump extends ceasefire with Iran, saying the country's 'fractured' leadership needs time to put forward a unified peace plan goose meme who fractured the leadership? who fractured the leadership?
