🚨 BREAKING: Jack Clark, Anthropic co-founder, is on Fox responding to Trump's AI comments. The designer has to go on TV because the president called it a hoax to say: I built this, I know what it does, and we need regulation. It's bizarre. It's dangerous. What are we doing?

BREAKING: Trump is promising to give $5,000 to every adult American if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate in November. (That’s more than $1.2 trillion, btw.)

"Canada is a greater threat to the U.S. than Russia and China." - President Donald Trump. FC: This is false and slanderous towards Canada. Canadians honorably served and died alongside U.S. troops in multiple conflicts.

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson has killed a House vote on Lindsey Graham’s Russia sanctions bill which passed the Senate in July, Punchbowl reports. “We have to build consensus around that final product,” Johnson said.

🚨 BREAKING: Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney is MELTING DOWN in court and DIRECTLY SPARRING with the judge, calling the judge "SOFT" DEFENSE: Stop being soft with jury instructions! JUDGE: What do you want me to do?! Get a BRASS BAND?! I read the instruction as written by the Massachusetts Supreme Court?! The fact I perhaps did not give it my full inflection, I'm sorry about that, I'm not an actor! I'm giving INSTRUCTION!

Some views are more than beautiful… they remind you how big the world is, and how much more there is left to discover.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A massive report exposes that Trump purchased $100,000,000 in bonds tied to companies DIRECTLY impacted by his policies. That is slam dunk insider trading and is IMPEACHABLE. Overall, Trump has made an estimated $3.4 BILLION in just one year and 6 months.

Sky News: “[Trump] says you’re full of shit” Abdul El-Sayed: “At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office”

🚨OUTRAGEOUS: Rep. LaMonica McIver faces 17 years in prison for “impeding” ICE while THEY impeded HER oversight. She told us Trump officials will have to answer for it. “I think that their day is going to come.” Midterms and subpoena power can’t come soon enough.

🚨TRUMP’S DEADLY FAILURE: Another immigrant has DIED in ICE custody after a diabetic medical emergency that could have been prevented. It’s the SECOND death at Delaney Hall in a year. Rep. LaMonica McIver: “I believe truly that Delaney Hall should be shut down.”

Rand Paul loses it when Fauci's attorney tries to say something, and he eventually directs security to kick him out of the hearing room

My colleague from South Dakota suggests here that the talking filibuster hasn’t been used in a century, and that it was not used to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He’s mistaken. As I’ve explained to the entire Senate GOP on multiple occasions, the talking filibuster *was* used effectively to break the weeks-long filibuster mounted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Leader Thune and others point out that the Senate ultimately invoked cloture on the Civil Rights Act, and on that basis wrongly conclude that the talking filibuster was *not* the tool used to achieve that victory. This argument ignores the fact that this is *how* the Senate closed a staggering 30-vote cloture deficit in 1964. After many weeks of fighting a losing battle, filibustering senators predictably started to lose their resolve to hold up the bill indefinitely, especially when they realized how hard they’d have to work to keep the effort alive. So they started proposing and supporting amendments to the bill to make it more palatable and help them save face. I still maintain that this is a viable approach that could work well—even better—in the context of the SAVE America Act, especially considering that the bill is less complicated and less controversial with voters than was the Civil Rights Act, and currently has a cloture deficit of only 10 votes—tiny compared to the 30-vote deficit faced by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. My colleague also mistakenly suggests that Senate Republicans would have to vote to enforce the talking filibuster. That simply isn’t true; no vote is required for this step. All we need is a majority leader willing to announce that we’re getting on the bill and that we will continue to debate it until it passes—all with the understanding that if filibustering senators fail to show up to debate it, we can “call the question” and pass it with a simple majority. That understanding, in turn, is what motivates the filibustering senators to show up and speak, but it’s also what naturally causes them to tire of the exercise after a few weeks, at which point they start looking for a face-saving off-ramp. Finally, Leader Thune suggests that the talking filibuster would be thwarted by being “reset” every time Democrats offered an amendment. There’s a valid point in there, but it’s not a good reason not to invoke the talking filibuster. It appears he’s referring indirectly to paragraph 1(a) of Senate Rule 19 (the two-speech rule). While offering a new amendment can create a new question under longstanding practice, the September 25, 1986 precedent narrowed how rigidly the two-speech rule is applied by clarifying that many procedural actions do not count as speeches at all. Particularly in light of that 1986 clarification, it’s been a long time since I’ve suggested we consider rigid enforcement of Rule 19’s two-speech limit as part of a talking filibuster strategy for the SAVE America Act. We don’t need it! Nor was that rule aggressively enforced during the Senate’s consideration of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield correctly focused on requiring actual debate from filibustering senators rather than looking for technical ways to shut the debate down. To give credit where it’s due, I appreciate what Leader Thune said in this interview about the possibility of passing some iteration of SAVE America using budget reconciliation—a procedure in which there is no 60-vote cloture hurdle. I’ve been skeptical of this approach in the past, but I’m starting to believe the SAVE America Act has more budgetary features than I initially considered possible. That said, reconciliation is fraught with all kinds of problems, challenges, risks, and uncertainties. Also, failure can be far too easy to blame on the parliamentarian. I’m open to considering the reconciliation path, but we should make this decision with our eyes open. To do that, we need to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the talking filibuster.

Trump: I inherited the worst inflation in history from Biden Fact check: When Biden left office, inflation was 3.0%. Today, it’s 3.5%.

BREAKING: "We're building more auto factories and more plants than at any time in the history of our country." President Trump tells General Motors workers the American auto industry is surging, crediting the men and women on the factory floor for rebuilding the country. He also blasts past leaders for allowing manufacturing jobs to leave the U.S., saying his administration is putting Michigan workers and American industry first. "At long last, Michigan finally has a president who stands up for Michigan auto workers and puts America first."

Mayor Mamdani just announced that he will be opening 5 city-run, tax-funded grocery stores: "Prices set at 30% below retail prices"

Mamdani: Today, I am proud to announce a collection of essential staples that will be predictably 30% cheaper at all five of our city-run grocery stores. This core set of goods will include all fresh produce, meat, and seafood, along with 20 other essential items like cheese, milk, and bread. Here's how it will work. Once a month, our five city-run grocery stores will set prices for this core set of goods at 30% below typical retail prices. No exceptions, no gimmicks. The savings will last for the entire month. That means no weekly fluctuations or sticker shock at the checkout line—not for our seniors living on fixed incomes, nor for the parents who rely on a regular supply of apple slices to keep toddler tantrums at bay.
