I don't know how you look at everything Trump's been doing to mess with the election and think anything other than that he's trying to rig it. But whether he will succeed is a different matter, as Bob Kuttner reports. prospect.org/2026/07/28/t...

Adding another entry to the file to send to a very prominent person who got mad at me for saying this would happen! His reasoning was, the Constitution doesn't allow it, which has held up really well.

Of course we all know what would happen if this person wasn’t a white Christian, but also, this kind of proselytizing is not about converting or even delivering a message to anyone. It’s a self-aggrandizing act of domination. It’s an actual sin of vanity.
Hemant MehtaEvangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

So, the UK's mainstream parties spent the better part of two decades legitimising the far-right's grievances and aligning politics-as-usual with their terms and parameters, and now an increasing number of people view the far-right as the best to address said grievances. It just doesn't make sense.

Paragraph *16* in an article decrying that Mamdani did not use one of his nine appointments to choose a Jewish attorney to a judicial selection panel. "Mr. Calvello said Justice Leventhal was rejected because he had represented Ghislaine Maxwell, the associate of Jeffrey Epstein."

Alex Jones, who has not paid a single cent to the Sandy Hook families despite owing them $1.4 billion, has been in a $3,000 per night suite in Hawaii for the last few weeks illegally using the InfoWars accounts to boost his traffic. Today he said there's going to be a national draft in three weeks.

Weiss fired journalists for airing what she saw as in-house disagreements but is fine with journalists doing undercover sting operations on other organizations. Transparency for thee, but not for me!
Jon PassantinoBari Weiss & Nick Bilton are busy trying to recruit talent for their revamped "60 Minutes," conducting dozens of screen tests. And CBS News leaders "have also expressed a desire to air hidden camera-style investigative pieces" on the show. The scoop in @status.news www.status.news/p/60-minutes...
I talked with the former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO Allied Command Operations for this story yesterday. Today I am cutting lime wedges, changing kegs, and pouring liquor at my bar job. My life is deeply weird
