EXCLUSIVE: Christy McCormick, at the time a top federal voting official, coordinated with Cleta Mitchell's anti-voting group on a plan to impose proof of citizenship rules, emails shared with Democracy Docket show.

Lovely homage by Dave Barry about his wife, Michelle Kaufman, a longtime sportswriter for The Miami Herald until last week, when her job was among 30 unceremoniously cut from the newspaper. If you've ever read Michelle's writing, you know what a loss it is. God damn it.

My favorite part of Nick Cave's Red Hand Files this week.

Using the kind of language executives have grown comfortable throwing around about AI replacing workers, it suggests the bottleneck to productivity and enhanced profitability at companies isn't a lack of worker enhancements; it's that leadership can't keep up.

Rick Scott on what his message will be at "Trumpapalooza" -- "We're gonna do what Trump is doing"

"The weekend’s most insane post might have come from the White House’s Twitter account: an AI video of Trump as Green Lantern, using his ring to construct a border wall. The video was a potent reminder that the president has staffed his administration with sycophants every bit as deranged as he is."

Tell your parents not to fall for this Zuckerberg-Musk scam amplified on Facebook. popular.info/p/the-hidden...

Here is a guest on Tucker Carlson’s podcast saying that algebra is a conspiracy by the Jews to turn people into “good little goy slaves.” I wish I was joking.

Bryan Johnson, who turned his body into a longevity lab, spent millions on anti-aging experiments and infamously used his teenage son’s plasma in so-called “blood boy” transfusions. Now he’s revealed he’s been diagnosed with chronic autoimmune gastritis. www.dailystar.co.uk/news/us-news...

“If you think the war in Ukraine doesn't affect you look at this crater in Poland. A Russian missile crashed here today. This will keep happening until Europe wakes up and takes the russian threat seriously.” From @caolanrob.bsky.social

😬Jim Jordan self-immolates on CNN 😬 Jordan had nothing when pressed on why Blanche deserves to be AG when he refuses to put his opposition to Trump's corruption in writing, then made things worse when he stammered about how he can continue to support Max Miller despite accusations of brutal abuse

This summer, New York City’s young people are designing the future of soccer.

Trump would rather pull Blanche’s nomination for AG than allow him to commit in writing that Trump’s IRS deal is off. The immunity Blanche granted to Trump from IRS audits is a windfall that some experts estimate is worth $100 million in taxpayer funds for Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

Great interview Conan O'Brien did with Mick Jagger. As you listen, remember that Jagger is 3 years older than Donald Trump. youtu.be/2HLGcRpw1hc?...

Seems like the Argentines did a great job of it themselves with no help from anyone’s “plan.”

But new rightists are basically at war with the latter, at all times. In part because they hate others; in part because they hate what they know about themselves. www.offmessage.net/p/odyssey-in...

I completely forgot about this: On their first US tour The Beatles refused to perform in segregated stadiums. It's never not riveting, the mark on history left by these 4 guys, together for less than 10 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9si...

Just gonna leave this here. "Lapdog media": Dozens of protesters attacked an Indian TV reporter whose channel is pro-government. Crews from major media outlets are facing heckling and abuse.

Election deniers are scared of showing evidence of voter fraud because they know there is none. The same goes for Tina Peters, a convicted election denier who says there’s no need to “prove” that elections are rigged. American democracy deserves better. Join our fight: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Russians are crying on camera after Ukrainian drones hit more Wildberries warehouses, asking: “Ukrainians, have you no empathy?” Ukraine says the “Russian Amazon” helps supply its military with drone parts, navigation equipment and other dual-use gear. www.kyivpost.com/post/80996

Rather than go to that black-tie affair in DC last night… I traveled around my neighborhood in style

Trump did everyone a favor with his original boycott of the correspondents dinner. That should have been the end of it.

President Trump flew in Marine One over MetLife Stadium on Sunday ahead of his arrival to the World Cup final. It was the second time recently that he sought to seize the spotlight at a major sporting event.

If the plot is “no price is too high to pay to bring Matt Damon home”, I am fully sat for the movie.

Angus: MAGA politicians are threatening our sovereignty, saying they’ll cross the border if we don’t solve the climate crisis. We’ve always crossed the border to help each other. Today we’re mourning a Canadian firefighter who died helping fight a wildfire in Aspen, Colorado.

Three teams went undefeated in this tournament. Spain, Cabo Verde, and Iran.

Brutal photo caption from The Guardian: “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”

"Not the warmest of receptions" - Rebecca Lowe

Out on the town having the time of my life with a bunch of friends. They're all just out of frame, laughing too.

lmao he looks like he was photoshopped in

Jesse Watters went on live TV and giggled that testosterone-jacked-up troops...will turn into "wild animals" and assault women overseas. He thinks rape is a punchline. The mask isn't slipping anymore...that IS THE FACE.

Thierry Henry on Messi: "He had moments when he was human. He had moments when he was not human."

Presidents should not salute full stop. Also, it’s Reagan’s fault.

Read the blurbs. They finished Musk’s (super-villainous) thoughts.

🧊✈️ SEATTLE ⛓️😲 👉 Young men & boys in shackles are herded by hired thugs from a chartered Eastern 737 to a waiting bus, to be transported to GEO Group's Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington 👀

Trump is about to present the World Cup trophy to the European country that he has demonised more than any other. 🤌

"Bronze is coming home." www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The multiple lawyers of the pardon corruption is a thing to behold. It’s not just Trump. There’s a whole ecosystems of sheisters, crooks, confidence men and miscellaneous criminals all involved.

Just be grateful for Donarrhea's astonishing incompetence.

I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.

Trevor Noah: "It feels like the French coach went into the change room [at the half] and he was like, 'You guys don't care about being embarrassed, but I do.' And then he put on his real team. Something was said in that change room." www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBMN...
