The media is complicit in the destruction of our democracy. If it was Biden it would be on the news 24/7.

True, but I disagree with the conclusion. Given how far Yale has already gone down the hole—they named Chris Rufo(!) as a key source of "reforms"—they should cut a deal with Trump. It's better Yale formalizes its collapse than for us to pretend there's anything left beyond a façade of legitimacy.
Greg Sargent"Universities like Columbia are not better off for having capitulated last year. They compromised their independence and suffered reputational damage, yet are still subject to [Trump's] arbitrary behavior." Read @ryanenos.bsky.social on need to resist Trump: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/27/o...
if not for China bailing him out prices would be nearly double what they are now, too. Pretty funny
Aaron RuparNew in PN: Why Trump deserves all the blame for high gas prices "No POTUS has ever deserved to be hoisted on the petard of gas prices more. That’s not only bc of how he weaponized the issue before, but bc unlike almost every other POTUS, he's actually responsible for where the price is right now."

“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

These people should never be again allowed in polite society
Aaron RuparWELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail

Right down to the stupidest details—the private jet rides, the sweetheart deals with prosecutors—the whole Tate thing recapitulates most of the Epstein story. Yet we have to pretend there's no way to know whether he would ever involve himself in the abuse of trafficked women and girls
The BulwarkDespite years of accusations involving rape and sex trafficking, the Tates have enjoyed a strangely close relationship with Trump world that seems to have extended to preferential treatment from the government. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social:

Christ Congress really has no power left
TrumpsTaxesFrom a national security perspective to a taxpayer perspective, this is just a massive scandal. Bottom line: Trump wanted a fancy jet and he wanted it NOW, safety/cost be damned. And THIS is what he was laser-focused as Americans struggled. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/u...

Gaslighting people about the literal text of the Constitution and hoping they'll get lucky and SCOTUS will agree in order to cheat and harm nonwhite people is like, this administration's whole deal. It is exactly what you'd expect from a man once sued by the feds for racist housing discrimination.
Asha RangappaThis story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.

Duckworth: "He appointed the most incompetent secretary of defense in our nation's history. All he seems to be worried about is testosterone levels in our troops instead of making sure that he actually has a plan to execute this mission in Iran and ending it before even more Americans get killed."
