So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday. And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some,

Joe Scarborough: It’s important we now have documentation that the Republican Party has corrupted itself to this degree. Republicans now support the Centralized State stealing taxpayers’ money to run ads for their political party.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

I wonder if there's ever been a political movement before that claimed that immigrants were all carriers of diseases and therefore needed to be removed from society? Eh, it was probably a really positive movement, not one associated with evil in any way

Bill Clinton got House and Senate Democrats (zero Republicans) to pass a bill that cut the deficit by $500 billion through a mix of tax increases and spending cuts, setting the table for years of economic growth and a fiscal surplus. The party's reward was a crushing defeat in the 1994 midterms.

WOW. The Trump admin just barred the FBI from investigating cases where DHS officers get into confrontations with immigrants or citizens. ICE HSI will lead all investigations, yet HSI has no jurisdiction to investigate civil rights violations. The fox is guarding the henhouse.

Really really enjoyed this interview with Mamdani - as always, a masterclass in communication. His answer on creating a big tent party is both excellent and low key savage. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/m...
There are moderates in the Democratic Party who've called to expel the D.S.A. from the Democratic coalition. And I want to flip that around. Is there room in the party you want to create for moderate Democrats?
Yes. Full stop. I'm not interested in expelling people from parties. I think that's what you do when you can't win the debate within the party.
Even if they work with AIPAC? If they are Democrats and they run as Democrats and they win as Democrats, then they should be a part of the Democratic Party. There are people with whom I have vehement disagreements with on any number of topics. But if we can find a place of agreement, that's what I'm going to focus that relationship on. If you're just looking for people who you agree with on everything, then you might as well just stay home and look at a mirror.

Republicans don’t give a damn about the national debt. Even in times when they say the economy is percolating, they pile on deficit spending to help their favorite donors get even richer. Republicans pretend to worry about the budget as an excuse for screwing over the poor.

If Other Jobs Were Like US Senator www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
It's time for your scheduled open-heart surgery. Unfortunately, no one has seen or heard from the surgeon in weeks, since the Incident. The nurse says that she spoke with him at length on a wide variety of important subjects and that he had never been more eloquent. "Will he be along shortly?" you ask.
"I hired him to perform a specific job, and I would like him to do that." The nurse is appalled by this disrespect for the doctors privacy. You lie there for several weeks, your chest flaps held open by clamps.
