As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Of course Trump got booed at the US Open final, and caused delays by attending, but it seems a little underplayed that he was there in a luxury box seat provided by Rolex, which is a Swiss company hoping to get out from under huge tariffs he imposed on Switzerland. apnews.com/article/trum...

Wow — REPUBLICAN Rep. Thomas Massie points out the hypocrisy of Republicans crying foul about Texas Dems leaving to stop Trump from stealing 5 seats in Congress as Speaker Johnson and the GOP flee Washington to help Trump cover up the Epstein files.

I already donate to my local NPR station @laist.com . I'd like to donate to somewhere in Wyoming, Idaho, or Utah. Who do y'all recommend and why?

Oh my… Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell just corrected Trump’s math on national television, live, and called out his disinformation.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

The Justice Department is slashing its public corruption unit—because the easiest way to hide corruption is to stop looking for it.
