There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

13. We deserve to know what they are with sustained coverage in granular detail, but there is nary a peep from the press corps. The AP is willing to repeat word-for-word that Melania Trump negotiated "a localized ceasefire," but not report why Donald Trump is bleating like a sheep.

12. No one knows exactly what is going on with the president. However, everyone can plainly see that *something is definitely going on*. No one makes noises like that. No one makes faces like that. No one does either unless there are things we do not know about that are very bad.

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

however richly some of them deserve it, it’s notably only the women of the administration being fired over its poor performance to date
Sources confirm to Zeteo that the top Trump aide is being lined up to take the fall for her boss’s dire polling. Rep. Ilhan Omar, meanwhile, continues to stand strong against political persecution. Read today's 'First Draft' by @swin24.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/trumps-whi...

Zacharia: "A lot of the misinformation, miscommunication is around the fact that I labeled myself a lawyer. I consulted for a long time many people in the field -- 'Is it ok if I label myself a lawyer?' -- and they said, 'Absolutely. You can call yourself a lawyer. You have a JD'"

He knows this isn't true. The people in the crowd laughing at it know it isn't true. But this is how they connect. They bond over telling vicious lies about their enemies and laughing about it.
Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

There's something profoundly sad about so many Boomers spending their last years on earth disassociating from reality and cooking their brains with AI videos. I see this with plenty of people in my own life and I just cannot understand it.
for the better part of a day now the leader of the united states of america has had literally nothing better to do than to post ai videos of tigers mauling people and trump mauling tigers

Two debating styles: 1. El-Sayed. Acts like a skilled boxer as he throws jabs early and often at his opponent until they are weakened and then opens it up. 2. Ossoff. Pulls the sink from the green room in the back and starts beating his opponent with it right away. Does not stop until its over.

Aside from the bigger implications of what Axelrod is saying, telling a politician not to highlight their opponent's glaring bribery scandal is just about the worst political advice you could possibly give someone.
Listening to David Axelrod tell @jonfavs that corruption arguments against Susan Collins are inadvisable demonstrates that a perpetual class of affluent consultants are ill-suited to a populist moment with widespread cynicism. Elites can't see each other's corruption!

This is just a fucking carjacking. How the hell was he supposed to know it was a state sponsored carjacking. what the fuck are we doing here.
The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Mike Rogers says he helped plan the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. He's also said he was “there” & saw the terrorist leader's body. But what really happened? Metro Times found that Rogers has repeatedly exaggerated his role in the historic operation. www.metrotimes.com/news/mike-ro...
