Conversations with four senior Republican congressional staffers, as well as think tank scholars, Heritage expats, academics who study think tanks and up-and-coming young Republicans reflected a widening generational split and mutual distrust over the issue. "Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence," said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. "We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots."

Trump's 32 percent approval is an all-time low approval rating for him in a Quinnipiac University poll. In today's poll, Republicans (76 - 12 percent) approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, with 12 percent not offering an opinion. Democrats (94-3 percent) disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president, with 2 percent not offering an opinion. Independents (67 - 22 percent) disapprove, with 11 percent not offering an opinion. This compares to Quinnipiac University's June 24 poll, when Republicans (85 - 9 percent) approved of the way Trump was handling his job as president and 5 percent did not offer an opinion. Democrats (93 - 3 percent) disapproved of the way Trump was handling his job as president and 3 percent did not offer an opinion. Independents (59 - 34 percent) disapproved and 8 percent did not offer an opinion.

OSP Investigating Report Of Individuals Impersonating Law Enforcement (Photo) - 07/24/26 Oregon State Police NEWS RELEASE CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Ore. (24 July 2026) - The Oregon State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating a report of individuals impersonating law enforcement officers in Clackamas County and is asking for the public's assistance. On Friday, July 17, 2026, between approximately 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m., the victim was driving on Highway 211 near milepost 5, east of Woodburn, when they observed a vehicle displaying red and blue emergency-style lights behind them. Believing they were being stopped by law enforcement, the victim pulled over onto a gravel turnout. Two men exited the suspect vehicle, one of whom was armed with a rifle. The suspects identified themselves as "ICE" and told the victim they were being detained. The victim was forcibly removed from their vehicle, searched, and placed into the back seat of the suspects' vehicle. A third individual, who remained in the vehicle and was described as acting as a "guard," assaulted the victim while they were detained.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable! I will call the Prime Minister during the day to find out what they are going to do about it. The cost is incalculable! Canada has refused to engage in basic Forest Management and Debris Removal, knowing that such refusal will lead to exactly this result. This is Willful Negligence, and becoming a yearly occurrence, costing the United States Billions of Dollars, which cost of this pollution must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Either way, the stakes remind me of a question I once asked Graham on a long flight over Central Asia. At what point in his career, I wondered, had he gathered the boldness to assert himself so overtly in foreign policy? "When I was first elected to the House," he recalled, “I looked for the they. They who run things. They who know how things really work. They who know what they are doing. But I couldn't find the they." After that, he went on, “I went to the Senate. But there was still no they. And then I started to get invited to the White House, and to closed-door briefings, and to meetings with top officials. No they." "What I finally realized,” he concluded, “is that there is no they. There is only we, and we usually don't know what the fuck we're doing."
Taco Bell has temporarily removed several fresh ingredients, including lettuce, cilantro, onions, pico de gallo, and guacamole, from some restaurants as health officials investigate a nationwide surge in cyclosporiases, a parasitic illness that can cause severe, sometimes "explosive" diarrhea. The outbreak has sickened nearly 2,000 people across the U.S., with Michigan reporting almost 1,000 cases and New York City confirming hundreds more. Officials have not linked any illness directly to Taco Bell, and the source of the outbreak remains under investigation, though contaminated fresh produce is a leading suspect. Health authorities are advising consumers to thoroughly was produce, sanitize kitchen surfaces, and cook raw vegetables when possible while the CDC and state agencies continue tracing the source.

A statement issued by the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: In response to the arrogance and blatant aggression committed by the terrorist American forces by targeting the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the precious island of "Qeshm", the aerospace force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, with God's grace and support, and in fulfillment of its pledge to protect the homeland, carried out precise and intensive missile strikes on the military bases of the American occupation in the State of Kuwait, which resulted in the successful destruction of their targets and the ignition of the aggressors' fortresses. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, while announcing this initial response to strike back with equal force, issues a stern warning at the highest level of determination to the American administration, the head of global arrogance, and all those who allow their territories or airspace to be used as a launching pad for aggression against Iran: Any new foolishness, further aggression, or action that infringes on even a single inch of our borders and sovereignty will be met with a seismic, crushing, and decisive response that exceeds established norms and boundaries. Our valiant forces will not hesitate to reduce all the aggressors' headquarters and interests in the region to ashes. The era of "strike and run" is over. The forces of tyranny must bear the dire consequences of their ignorance and reckless adventures.

"Science is much more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking. This is central to its success. Science invites us to let the facts in, even when they don't conform to our preconceptions. It counsels us to carry alternative hypotheses in our heads and see which ones best match the facts. It urges on us a fine balance between no-holds-barred openness to new ideas, however heretical, and the most rigorous skeptical scrutiny of everything - new ideas and established wisdom." ~CARL SAGAN

But Kennedy also spoke specifically about his vision for Black children. After making the false claim that "every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence" Kennedy offered what he described as a solution. "Those kids are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get reparented and live in a community," he said.
Jello update. Jello is progressing nicely. His speech has mostly come back in full, and cognitively, it's like the stroke never happened. The left side is still weak but it is doing much better than it was. He has been living with me so I can care for him, but he is so much more self sufficient than he was, he will most likely go home this coming week. Thank you again for the outpouring of support. It has meant the world to him.

A post from the foul place (formerly known as twitter) Louis Duclos @ObsDelphi 1d Replying to @LangmanVince We will sanction the shit out of the Trump administration and close the European Market (400M consumers) to US companies. We will sell US Treasury bonds until you come begging us to stop. We will expel every American from European military base, you will lose all your influence and strength worldwide. You will be humiliated and you will learn to never ever attack Europe again as we will extend nuclear deterrence to all EU members and you will be alone against EU, Russia and China. All that for an orange president who will be dead in less than 10 years.

On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life's roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be beaten and robbed as they make their journey through life. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. —Martin Luther King, Jr., “A Time to Break Silence,” an address to Clergy and Laity Concerned, Riverside Church, New York, NY, Apr 4, 1967

The birds spend all day in a cave which they only leave at nightfall. In their nocturnal forays, they rely on smells and sounds - an unusual behaviour for birds"

"When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight.

Ode to the Portland Frog From the mist of the moss and the grey Oregon rain, There leaps a green hero to ease all the pain. My love for this frog is a powerful thing, For the justice and freedom his ribbit can bring. With a croak full of spirit and a firm little bound, He stands up to bigots who poison the ground. He's our small, squat defender, so brave and so fast, A symbol of hope that forever will last. --Shane Ford

The document also includes principles with which we disagree, including those that would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution. And fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone. In our view, America's leadership in science and innovation depends on independent thinking and open competition for excellence. In that free marketplace of ideas, the people of MIT gladly compete with the very best, without preferences. Therefore, with respect, we cannot support the proposed approach to addressing the issues facing higher education. As you know, MIT's record of service to the nation is long and enduring. Eight decades ago, MIT leaders helped invent a scientific partnership between America's research universities and the U.S.government that has delivered extraordinary benefits for the American people. We continue to believe in the power of this partnership to serve the nation. Sincerely, Sally Kornbluth

He -- Roosevelt -- then appointed the baboon to replace Justice Blackstrap, "diseased." "I'll have to remember that one boss" said Hopkins breaking into loud guffaws. So henceforth the proceedings of the court were carried on with a screeching Simian shitting and pissing and masturbating on the table and not infrequently leaping on one of the judges and tearing him to shreds. "He is entering a vote of dissent," Roosevelt would say with an evil chuckle. The vacancies so created were invariably filled with simians, so that, in course of time, the Supreme Court came to consist of nine purple assed baboons from Roosevelt After Inauguration https://realitystudio.org/images/bibliographic_bunker/fuck_you/fuck-you-press-pdfs/william-burroughs.roosevelt-after-inauguration.fuck-you-press.pdf

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally, are not allowed to be forced out without going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process, one that will take, possibly, many years for each person, and one that will allow these people to commit many crimes before they even see the inside of a Courthouse. The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public. It will also encourage other criminals to illegally enter our Country, wreaking havoc and bedlam wherever they go. The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do. Sleepy Joe Biden allowed MILLIONS of Criminal Aliens to come into our Country without any "PROCESS” but, in order to get them out of our Country, we have to go through a long and extended PROCESS. In any event, thank you to Justice Alito and Justice Thomas for attempting to protect our Country. This is a bad and dangerous
Twitter post by Lisa Desjardins from Feb 4th, 2025 News: Funding is shot off for some Head Start programs [in] Washington State and potentially elsewhere. Joel Ryan with Washington State Head Start told me "programs are not getting the money. It feels like a rolling black out:. Ryan said things at one point got better for Head Start following last week's chaotic funding/grant freeze. But now it has again gotten worse. "A lot of programs are getting error messages or sorry messages", when trying to access their funding/accounts, he said.
A barred owl perches on a branch and looks slightly downward toward the camera. The wings are brown with white flecks and the chest is white with brown streaks. The background is a field of green leaves.
A wee chickadee perched on a bare branch with an out of focus tan background. The bird is facing the camera with its head turned to the left. Its bright black eye and tiny beak are highlighted by the white stripe on its face that is bordered by the black cap and chin. The body is a pale tan and its feet are very smol.
A male rufous hummingbird perching on a wire with very tiny little feet. His body is facing the camera with his head turned to the left. The beak and eye are black with delicate green feathers edged with orange around the face, the body is white on the front blending to orange on the sides. There are a few leaves in focus around the top of the picture and the background is blurred green.
A belted kingfisher shown in profile, facing to the right. She is perched on a mesh fence which takes up the lower right quarter of the frame. There is water in the background with some bluffs in the distance that are glowing with the beginning light of the sunset. The bird has a dark head with a long straight beak. A collar of white around the neck sharply divides the darkness of the head from the slightly lighter gray of the body which has a white blaze on the chest and a red patch above the legs on its rump. It is probably watching the water, looking for its dinner.
