KERNEN: If we're reversing some tariffs to try to help affordability, isn't that acknowledging that tariffs were responsible for some of the higher prices and inflation?

In under-the-radar news: a GOP-aligned former election official just bought Dominion Voting. He wants to mirror trump’s election directives. His other company, KnowInk, has been tied to multiple voting failures. Now he controls the machinery & our votes. That should scare everyone.

Something rare—maybe unprecedented—is unfolding in D.C.: Grand juries are refusing to indict Trump opponents whose minor acts of defiance have been inflated into felony charges.

Washingtonians have few tools to resist the occupation of their city. This is one of them.

Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid.

Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Justice Department.

Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating officers on Jan. 6 and yelling "kill 'em." www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

FCC Chair Brendan Carr: "President Trump is fundamentally reshaping the media landscape, and the way he's doing that is when he ran for election he ran directly at these legal broadcast media outlets. For years government officials allowed those entities to dictate the political narrative."

When the Republicans put additional billions into the big ugly bill for ICE operations, they’re not only telling us they’re all for masked men without identification grabbing people off the streets and taking them away in unmarked cars, they want more of it. They want to make America unrecognizable.

“There is no intel,” says a WH official, “Nothing new, I’m aware of… The intelligence assessments have not really changed from what they were before.” Which were, of course, that Iran's not close to having nukes.

Great headline! He boomed iran based on *vibes*.

Shameless plug but this is a big part of what I wrote about in AUDIENCE OF ONE. There is a lot of focus, mine included, on Trump as TV 'performer' and 'programmer.' But there's a symbiosis: Trump, a child of TV, has also always very much been programmed *by* what he sees on his shows
Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it
