This gives me more hope than generic poll numbers because if the GOP is to pull Trump's ass out of the fire in November it will need to sell their story. This suggests that not enough voters will be listening.

Thank you.

So CBS and others invested in a pro trump audience that won’t arrive, alienating their actual audience, and trump propagandists are losing audience bc people are souring on Trump. Also helps explain the increased racist shrieking as they try to farm engagement www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

BREAKING: Carlos Cordeiro, FIFA’s adviser to the White House Task Force for the World Cup, has RESIGNED in protest over FIFA’s controversial plan to sell stakes in the tournament to private investors led by Josh Kushner. FIFA is nothing without the European clubs and nationals

Just one example of how quickly AI is changing our lives…

Todd Blanche is as corrupt as his boss. He know how rich this slush fund would make right-wing lawyers like himself. It would also fund far-right legal orgs like Alliance Defending Freedom to do things like ban contraception or overturn Obergefell. www.salon.com/2026/07/31/t...

Like the defamation suit that forced Fox to pay out $787 million for spreading lies about the 2020 election, Jean Carroll's defamation suit was an enormous public service.

How bizarre is it that the fool who precipitated all this glories in the name Infantino? Nominative determinism for the win.

Collins has spent her career in search of a spine. It's one career goal she has resigned herself to failing.

An amazing quote from Susan Collins on whether Trump should control all federal research grants. No notes. A great summary of her entire political career.

Excellent ad placement

Jeph seems reluctant to explain himself, or simply thinks the answer to dad's question is obvious.

First of all I do very much prefer Aussie possums but secondly I love the shirt.

The Reformers’ prayer. My @smh cartoon.

Amen to this.

For reasons that have a lot to do with China, we'll probably never "know" exactly where and how the Covid virus emerged. But the certainty of lab-leak "truthers" has been a tell for me. Notably about their unfamiliarity with China.

Meanwhile, the market has - Dozens of confirmed early cases (the lab has zero) - Clusters within the market near animal stalls - traces of virus found in animal cages Leakers often cite "bayesian likelihood" but animal spillover is common while a novel virus leaking from a lab has never happened.

Listening to a British comedy podcast episode from 2016 (The Unbelievable Truth) in which Trump's hair was described as resembling the plughole of a zoo's orangutan enclosure. The most accurate description I have heard.

There's a real sense that Trump is running into serious limits on his power right now on many fronts. So I asked @davidkurtz.bsky.social: Are we constraining Trump, or not? His answer is so, so good. I pushed back and he went with it well. Check it out on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2137...
