Time for another reality check from a mutual of mine over on TikTok.
Nathan Jun is one of the best political content creators and if you don’t already support him on TikTok or Substack, you should. You’ll come away from the experience better educated

🚨 NEW AD.
Andy Harris hadn’t faced voters in years.
Then this happened at our debate

Donald Trump wanted confetti this week here in Dallas.
So we brought the paper.

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms?
1. Use drop boxes.
2. Vote EARLY in person.
3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day.
4. Vote in person on Election Day.
5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

Lifelong Republican explains to Conor Lamb why he's voting Democrat 👇
"I've always been a Republican, but I just realized I can't do it anymore. I have to be honest. I am a believing Christian. I believe in the rule of law and values - and I don't see that in the Republicans. I'm voting Democrat top to bottom. Until things change, we can't afford to vote Republican at all."

This is a good time to note that Hegseth is terrible at his job, that the Pentagon is a mess, that he should never have been confirmed, and that he should be fired first thing in the morning. But in this administration, sycophancy is more important than competence.

In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record:
The Resistance Libs Were Right.

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed.
Rhinestones on the outside, gold on the inside. 💛

NEW -- Hungary was even further along the path toward autocracy than America.
Three months ago, Hungarians resoundingly rejected their power-mad, would-be dictator. Can we?

The Heritage Foundation — the same think tank that wrote Project 2025 — just published a report arguing that competitive women's sports should be scaled back and replaced with "group fitness classes, dance, yoga, recreational intramurals, hiking clubs, and the like."
Their stated reason? Fertility. They argue elite women's athletics make women less interested in having children.
The masks are off.

A reminder on the evolution of 2020 "stolen election" theories: First we had mail-in fraud + Dominion + "illegal law changes" (Nov–Dec 2020) then → Georgia election workers + foreign interference/Italygate (Dec 2020–Jan 2021, concurrent) then → 2,000 Mules (ballot stuffers) (2022) then → social-media-censorship revival via Twitter Files (Dec 2022) then → renewed foreign-interference claims (2024–present).
Through all this, we've had:
1. Dominion getting $787 million from Fox News for defamation
2. Rudy Giuliani admitting he lied about Georgia election workers (and the jury awarding the workers $148 million)
3. Sidney Powell admitting in court "no reasonable person would conclude" her claims of election fraud “were truly statements of fact"
4. The Gateway Pundit retracting claims of election fraud in Atlanta
5. The Media company that put out D'Souza's 2,000 Mules film apologizing and removing it after law enforcement proved it falsely accused people of fraud
6. Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN) settling with Smartmatic
It is NOT true that none of these allegations have seen a court room. Most have. Of the 64 cases of fraud that Trump and his legal team filed in court, 30 were dismissed that included a hearing on the merits, 14 were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his allies before a hearing, and just 20 were dismissed for lack of standing before a hearing on the merits. One case, involving far too few votes to impact the election, prevailed in Pennsylvania. That case was about voter ID deadlines, not election fraud.
Those are the facts.
Whatever happens Thursday night, please try to remember them.

This clip, from Larry David's new show "Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness" is one of his FUNNIEST ever.
Awesome to have Rob Reiner as George Washington in possibly one of his final on-screen performances.
Cameo by Kimmel is chef's kiss.
RIP, Rob Reiner.

250 years after July 4, 1776, the successor of King George III pays taxes and publishes his returns. The successor of George Washington does not. bbc.com/news/articles/c8x215…

Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain.
We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.
