Andy Bashear, gov of Kentucky, has defended trans rights and was reelected. We have trans women winning elections in places like Manassas, Virginia and the state of Deleware. People hate data centers, Democrats should be attacking data centers and not listening to loser consultants.

If a worker at a Sheetz gas station approached their job the way John Fetterman does, they’d be fired within a week. It’s one of the many irrational things about our economy and system of labor. If you make ten bucks an hour selling hot dogs and coffee to truckers, you have little room for error. Misplace a $20 bill, flout the company dress code, or pull the infamous “no-call, no-show,” and in an at-will employment state like Pennsylvania, you can lose your job that same day. But if you pull down a much higher rate of pay, at taxpayer expense, and the stakes of your job are far higher, apparently any notion of professional standards or accountability disappears. You can wear your gross sweatpants to formal events, be a massive jerk to anyone who even slightly questions you, blow off sick children and veterans who need your help, and just plain fail to show up for work. In short, you can get away with being John Fetterman. https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/john-fetterman-needs-to-resign?utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9P9g0UgAf6EQF0WnG-GVH93QtRv4ldEbEOC6Fab8WX2_kVODav3hmSHwi8m4Y3jiEN4L21aQaUQzexOSqZb5dukoyttQ&_hsmi=438815008&utm_content=438815008&utm_source=hs_email

John Fetterman Needs to Resign

At this point, he isn’t even pretending to do the job Pennsylvanians elected him for. It’s time to pack it up.

Susan Collins Ads Brag About $190 Million for Rural Hospitals. It’s a Band-Aid on the Gaping Wound She Helped Inflict The Republican senator running for a sixth term has postured as a champion of rural healthcare, but the Medicaid cuts she voted to advance are set to devastate vulnerable communities in Maine and across the US. #Maine https://www.commondreams.org/news/susan-collins-rural-health-fund

this is just some insane bullshit that Trump spewed on social media, which then has to be treated as if it’s something else, because the alternative would be to admit that we as a nation have done what we have in fact done, which is install a demented narcissistic madman as president. https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/07/new-frontiers-in-sanewashing

I submit to you that the one characteristic that unites the lives of all Normal People is this: They are at the mercy of forces greater than themselves. They have to work for money in order to pay bills in order to survive. They are at all times subject to the cruel depredations of fate. Even if they have savings, the stability of their lives could be snatched away by a single disaster.

"ZERO Ohioans have become better able to buy groceries by keeping child sport players away from their favorite sport," the caucus wrote. "Our hearts break for those kids. Those who disagree with that will never vote—let alone doorknock—for Amy Acton." Its members were less willing to volunteer, the caucus said, "not out of malice, but out of the bad feeling in our chests." And it noted standing issues with the candidate not inviting #LGBTQ+ voices into her campaign room: "Any one of us could have warned her of that natural consequence if any one of us had been in the room with her." #Ohio https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/ohio-dem-party-has-banned-criticism

That’s why if you’re voting in a primary for a federal office (unlike this member of the mainland colony known as the District of Columbia), you need to vote for candidates who will remove the impediments to doing their jobs, like ending the filibuster and Supreme Court reform, along with D.C. statehood (because two more Democratic senators and one House member makes it harder for the occasional Democratic asshole to grind things to a halt). https://mikethemadbiologist.com/2026/07/14/one-reason-why-moderate-and-centrist-democrats-are-losing-primaries-to-self-described-socialists-you-can-just-do-stuff/

Partnerships between hospitals and legal aid clinics are playing a growing role in preventing tens of thousands of evictions per year across the U.S., and they could also help prevent future evictions from occurring, according to a new report. Known as medical-legal partnerships, the arrangement can help address unsafe or unstable housing conditions before they escalate into evictions. These partnerships exist in 49 states and the District of Columbia, according to the National Center for Medical Legal Partnership (NCMLP). Altogether, the coalition includes 170 legal aid agencies, 58 law schools, and hundreds of general hospitals, HAS-funded medical centers, and centers serving children and military veterans. https://invisiblepeople.tv/the-doctor-will-see-you-now-about-your-landlord/

In an interview with Popular Information, Galante acknowledged that there was no actual list of family members who had signed the petition. “We don’t have a list,” Galante said. Rather, the 300 figure that organizers shared with the New York Post was an estimate based on how they believe the petition spread before it received much publicity. “We all know each other, so…think about it. If you know 10 people and they give it to 10 more people they know that lost. That’s how we got the 300 number,” Galante explained. “I don’t go through the list and look at the names.” https://popular.info/p/the-truth-about-the-viral-911-petition

Guard The Leaf is a proudly average Canadian from Vancouver British Columbia and currently working abroad, covering the rising tensions between Canada and the U.S, from the U.S. boycott and tourism to Canadian sovereignty. This channel is about standing up for Canadian independence, calling out disrespect and mainstream media, and making sure our side of the story gets told, because we sure as hell know the media won't. I'm just a regular Canadian like everyone else, but choosing to say out loud what we are all thinking. Oh, I have a loud cat too that is part of my channel. If you hear a cat it's most likely going to be mine, not yours. @GuardTheLeaf@www.youtube.com
