Lula "We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results." So many countries have this problem and need to slay this beast.

We’re often told that religion is banned in China. But is that actually true? From Buddhist temples to mosques and churches, religious communities continue to practice their faith across China. We visited Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to see for ourselves.

So far no sign of a response from Trump on Truth Social. Should be epic when it happens. 😜

Judge Jesse Furman orders Maurene Comey to be reinstated w/back pay. This will obviously be appealed, but it means Ms. Comey will be one of the key appeals. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm asking my fellow Jews in Michigan to help elect the first Muslim American to the U.S. Senate—a devoted dad, a scholar, a visionary thinker, and a genuinely good dude. Let's be the people we hope others will be. Islamophobia and antisemitism feed the same beast. Let's starve that MFer.

Max Weber once observed that the winner in a war only needs to get rid of the top-level bureaucrats (so party officials and sycophants) to begin effectively running a conquered land. Maybe there's a corollary here: Congress can't "get rid of" Klanprez's cronies, but it can go around them. Excellent!

Dems also planning aggressive investigations into Trump's illicit prosecutions: Subpoenas on internal comms and on mid-level actors carrying out his corrupt orders. “Everybody involved from top to bottom will be subject to legislative investigation," Raskin says. newrepublic.com/article/2171...

I do not believe that this insight of mine is getting the appropriate amount of attention.

I think what he’s saying is they want to add up all the first choice and second choice votes for people who ranked the Sullivans one and two and act like they were all first choices  for the incumbent. But won’t that happen anyway, unless Peltola gets a clear majority in the first round ?

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

This is such a garbage way to report on anothet ludicrous, outrageous, illegal, actually criminal attempt by DOJ to disenfranchise voters and/or cast doubt on election results. Eight lazy paragraphs full of lies before the truth, attributed to “critics“. You know better, @shawnhubler.bsky.social.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

Oh good, we’ve made it to the “advertising discrete partnerships with the CIA” stage of this goatfuck. I remember when Marco was supposed to be the reasonable one.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

If you were waiting for your sign to donate to an insurgent campaign for Congress in Missouri...this is your sign. I'm current polling 5 points ahead of 14 yr incumbent Ann Wagner in a seat held by the GOP for 34 years. I need you now. We can take this across the finish line and change Missouri.

Congratulations to Jared Kushner for achieving Russian oligarch levels of corruption. There's hope for you trust fund nepo babies whose parents bought their way into the Ivy League.

Kushner fired back on Twitter that Matthew Cole's book is full of lies. His lawyer called the claims fantastical, like a TV drama. Neither threatened to sue because that would mean discovery. Bottomline: Dutch intelligence confirmed Kushner is dangerously corrupt www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

NEWS: Jared Kushner reportedly had a secret Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars from Azerbaijan, and he allegedly used it as a slush fund to pay a warlord, a mercenary, and a former hit man. There is no end to the corruption and depravity of these people.

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

I just early voted in Missouri. Democrats downballot. I did not mark uncontested races. Not one Republican will get my vote, even if they are the only choice. And remember: Yes on 6. The rest are tricks.
