The Shallow State @ourshallowstate.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
(4/4) Dems need to start zinging him more - focus narratives on his incompetence, how distrusted he is, and how he embarrasses our country. Be over the top, brutally honest, and use wit - with THE clear goal being - HIS humiliation. It's time to use his toxic aberrant pathology against him.

You are the only person who can force the truth to be revealed. Please do your job and learn the truth. It matters to all of us. Even across the country. We need the checks and balances in our system to work and for good public servants to do their jobs with courage, hope, and integrity.

Force a response by announcing that you're appointing a replacement Monday. Then do it. They'll challenge in court & the whole thing will have to come out. They will have to prove that he's not only alive but functioning mentally - will all be over before the 8/3 deadline they're holding out for.

Donald Trump is down in Palm Beach, Florida for the 22nd time of this presidency. Last night, he attended a roundtable dinner at Mar-a-Lago with wealthy donors for his MAGA, Inc. super PAC. Today, he's at his golf club.

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before. Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

Prior abortion or miscarriage not linked to increased risk of pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer
A prior abortion or miscarriage was not linked with an increased risk of developing pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer in a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.

Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
