it is so telling that referendum was up to the voters in Virginia and California, but not Texas. Here they just did it. They wouldn't put it up to a vote. Tonight it really looks like cowardice.

Trump’s Staggering Humiliation in Iran Desperate for an off-ramp, the president is setting up the U.S. to lose another war in the Middle East—even if the ceasefire doesn’t hold.

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation, but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. trib.al/vCxDSP2

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.

No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

The Edifice Complex Monuments don’t create legacy; they merely memorialise it.

Very interesting piece.

“An ‘edifice complex’ emerges when individuals in positions of authority, uncertain of their place in history, attempt to pre-empt posterity’s judgment with grandiose construction projects. It reflects insecurity and egomania in equal measure.”

Chairman Comer and Republicans are canceling hearings because they are afraid we may force more subpoenas and advance the Epstein investigation. Oversight Democrats will not participate in these sham events where motions can’t be made and where we can’t call witnesses.

The President never told us what special gift he got from the Iranians. Maybe they decided to take it back.

Senate Judiciary Republicans are wasting another day relitigating the 2020 presidential election.

Donald Trump lost.

He desperately tried to overturn the results with the help of Congressional Republicans.

And now he wants to do it again in 2026 and 2028.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

When I first introduced my bill to ban stock trading in Congress 5 years ago, only a handful joined us.

Since then, we’ve built a movement of bipartisan reformers committed to ending the corruption once and for all.

The time is now Speaker Johnson.

Put the bill on the floor.

The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane.

(Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden)

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."

Apple CEO Tim Cook Is Stepping Down John Ternus, the company’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, will replace Cook as CEO on September 1. Cook will stay on as executive chairman.

One of the most disappointing tenures potential/actual of any business leader I can think of.
When I worked there, the internal corruption was not going to be tamed, but the innovation was still a recent memory. It's been gone a long time now.

What to do when law enforcement demands ballots? Election officials are in the dark "This is a wake-up call, I think, for election officials and judges to make sure that they’re very well educated about the protections we have in law."

NOW there's a "wake up call" that county sheriffs will use their investigatory powers to disrupt elections despite me writing about this since 2021.

People are not appreciating the immense strategic dilemma in which America now finds itself. To put it as concisely as possible, Iranian domination of the Strait is strategically untenable for the U.S. and the international system, but the cost of changing their new position is too high to bear.

Feeding at the Public Trough Trump is stealing our tax dollars. He's not the only corrupt one.

“Failure to hold accountable the grotesque abusers of our public resources for their personal gain would make a mockery of every taxpayer…We should expect nothing less than responsible, ethical government, not piggish thieves feeding at the trough.”

None of them can claim they didn’t know his actions were morally wrong, illegal, or unconstitutional. Every Republican congressperson is a coward and should never be allowed to forget it.

Josh Rogin: “Somebody shorted the oil market today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement—

If you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that's happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began — that's a pattern”
