How I will always remember Lindsay Graham: as the faux-angry face of the Republican Party in response to the genuine vulnerability of Christine Blasey Ford. The sympathy after her testimony was palpable everywhere. So Graham turned into this nasty harpy to save Kavanaugh's nom.

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates. First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

A Court that does not share a common factual world with the people it governs is untethered from democratic reality.

Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE. ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.

This is so fucking haunting.
From Mike Norton on Twitter: Empty car sitting at the intersection of 35th and Pillsbury with its flashers on.
There are these ghost cars all over Minneapolis right now from ICE snatching people out of their vehicle in the middle of the street.

Lost in this one because its so absurd is that this is, again, a blatant violation of the emoluments clause and this is a clear case of someone trying to influence the foreign policy of the United States through gifts given to Trump.

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country. They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

No matter what happens in the coming weeks, we are Chicago. We rose from the ashes. We never quit.&10;&10;We are the lake in the morning, the sun rising over the water, its reflection drawing a line straight to our shores.&10;&10;We are the Haymarket Martyrs, the Pullman strikers, always demanding better than what we've got.&10;&10;We are the words of Sandburg and Algren and Brooks and Wright.&10;&10;We are the 90s Bulls, making the impossible possible.&10;&10;We are the dipped Italian Beef. Messy, sure, but incredible.&10;&10;We are the humidity in the summer, the frostbitten cheeks in the winter.&10;&10;We are smoke-kissed rib tips.&10;&10;We are elotes on the street. We are pierogis in a pot.&10;&10;We are Curtis singing Hush now child.

Gentle reminder for the non-crazies: the Charlie Kirk memorial is this afternoon. Find something else to do besides doom-scrolling or watching TV. Go to a movie, go to an apple orchard or botanic garden or out for drinks with friends. Being here is going to be a shitshow.

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.
“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.”

“Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”

NYT top story declares Epstein scandal already over and Trump victorious. Base more united even. Evidence: Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer, and JD Vance said so. And Elon Musk said he doesn’t like the WSJ. Not exactly neutral parties. It’s an editorial choice. Try to make it go away, not perpetuate it.
NYT headline 7/21/25: How Trump Deflected His Base’s Wrath Over Epstein, at Least for Now
By tapping into other grievances, President Trump managed to turn one of the most fractious moments for his base into a unifying one.

It's also a reminder of what the Times can get its powerful hackles up about—a woman using home email at work, a thirty-year old footnote, an 81-year-old man being 81. But not a vividly antisemitic wannabe dictator building a system of concentration camps.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
