Everyone learned the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Far fewer heard what #JackSmith actually told the Senate: that his team had developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump committed serious crimes. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

It’s so weird. I feel compelled to share this. I feel like sharing this with someone close to me who will appreciate it the same way I do, but I can’t think of anyone close to me who would. So, I’m quote-posting here. After all, I found it on Bluesky, as I’ve found so many treasures. May you find it

my takeaway from this is that she is thinking of these things in the right terms. she is asking whether she truly wants to do it since, if the answer is yes, it is absolutely the case that there is no better time than now.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

Got 'em: The @thebulwark.com added an editor's note to the review, acknowledging that the author's direct affiliation with the Foundation for American Innovation ("the foundation shaping the tech right," according to Inc.) created a conflict that should have been forthrightly disclosed.
Editor's note from Bulwark: 1
Editor’s note (September 3, 2026, 1:10 p.m. EDT): In a response to this review posted to social media, Gil Durán, author of The Nerd Reich, has highlighted that the reviewer, Jacob Bruggeman, is affiliated with the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI). Durán mentions FAI in his book, once, in a sentence that reads as follows: “This merging of tech and far-right networks—hosted by the Foundation for American Innovation, which Inc. later described as ‘the foundation shaping the tech right’—seemed like a live test of [Balaji] Srinivasan’s theory.” Bruggeman’s affiliation with FAI is an unpaid, nonresident fellowship (in other words, it is not his day job), and while it was mentioned in his byline beneath this review, we should have made a point of additionally disclosing it in a footnote like this.

As @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social is all over Bluesky telling us what we want to hear, instead of waiting in vain for him to ask for our forgiveness for his part in delegitimizing the Republican Party, we should ignore him.

Oh, it's bad. He doesn't say Blanche is pulled, but, he does. I think the only fair reading of this is that Trump is not willing to let Blanche back down on the audit immunity.
Donald J. Trump 0 & @realDonald Trump
Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time. However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event, as Acting. Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland, and others, too numerous to mention. I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd's name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump’s crimes are way worse than Nixon’s. Trump wouldn’t comply with unanimous Supreme Court orders. Trump wouldn’t resign after being told he would be impeached, convicted & removed. Trump poses an imminent & existential threat. Use the 25th Amendment now! Then, impeach, convict & remove!
