Another helpful synthesis of how cooked we are right now. None of this is normal, y’all.

Warrants issued for Texas Democrats breaking quorum to block redistricting vote House Speaker Dustin Burrows says quorum break only delays but will not stop redistricting.

This Texas voter stands with Texas Dems- thank you for standing up for Texans.

Ghislaine Maxwell is quietly moved to cushy new Texas prison as she pushes for deal to tell all on Epstein, his associates Ghislaine Maxwell has quietly been moved to a far more favorable Texas prison camp as she hashes a possible deal to divulge secrets about her sex-crimes accomplice Jeffrey Epstein.

So let’s see…the Trump admin is sending innocent people to be tortured in foreign gulags, bringing back in homocidal maniacs, and transferring convicted sex traffickers into minimum security prisons. Do I have that right? nypost.com/2025/08/01/u...

A corollary to this is that if you want people to be able to sit with this realization, it’s important to make them feel understood, not stupid. Providing an empathetic off-ramp (“that sucks that you were lied to”) is better than lecturing or shaming (“duh! how did you not see that?”) 2/

It’s estimated that 16M people could lose their health care under Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill.” YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now... because the assumption is in the intelligence community, if you are using unclassified means, there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts."

I’m sorry to say it but:

The emporer is actually naked.

That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow.

Trump 45’s VP Pence posted: “Mr. President, Ukraine did not ‘start’ this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.”

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies.

So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed?

For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

12 people. $2 trillion.

Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.
