An attempt to draw negative press at a rally for Abdul El-Sayed ended up working in the Democratic Senate candidate’s favor. @marisakabas.bsky.social revealed the identity of the heckler, who has ties to Christian nationalists and formerly worked for Sen. Hawley.

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:
This would actually be funny, except we all know this f*cker is really going to try it.
The thing is, even Republicans wouldn’t carry Trump’s water for a third term, and he would lose in a landslide.
Ukrainian interceptors still cannot use the internet at high speed to shoot down Russian attack drones or conduct mid-strike operations as of today morning, Ukrainian officials and a drone operator said.
Updated myself on the latest alleged shenanigans of Lavrov's mistress Polyakova
She owns $9.5M apt in Moscow, her daughter bought £4.4M luxury apt in Kensington, London; they moved to Doha upon invasion of Ukraine, now acquired UAE passports.
Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse:

You never know what you can believe in these situations, but apparently his family has been saying that he was pro-Russian.
Could just be an excuse to try to get him released, of course.
PATHETIC.
The American man was imprisoned and tortured as a result of the Russian illegal occupation of Kharkiv area - Izym.
They make him shake hands and thank the Russians.
PR election stunt to follow.
It sounds like hyperbole to suggest the current administration WANTS measles to become common again but I can’t think of much they’d be doing differently if they didn’t want that.
(I think some of them really are eugenicists who legit prefer disease spread to prevention; others just don’t care)
The Trump admin could have challenged voter rolls months ago. Their timing says this is just a political trick, not legit concern. They don’t care if they are disproven after the election is over—just like “caravans of criminals” who disappeared once election day passed.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) is asking a federal court to immediately prevent California from counting the ballots of 20,000 people the Trump administration has accused of being noncitizens who illegally registered to vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
5. The instinct that lets you look the other way and/or encourage putting Kushner in charge of Middle East negotiations is the same that puts Betancourt in the middle of the theft of Venezuelan oil. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
This is an important point and one way we should use this VF article.
Even if the most damning part -- the bank accounts -- is not true, we do know Kushner is a literal agent (financial advisor) to the Saudis and UAE. How the hell is he running negotiations?

The “parent estrangement” panic should be understood as part of the same complex as anger at social media “censorship,” and demands for affirmative action for conservatives in academia. Conservatives simply think you should be forced to listen to their dogshit ideas, no matter how cruel.
RUBIO: There's nothing being deliberately denied to Ukraine. It's simply a balance between our obligations to other partners, and frankly, our own standards and requirements for our own facilities as well.
Read Andrew Feinberg's account of what led Trump to melt down yesterday -- noting that REAL whistleblowers can already make more from Qui Tam suits.

A U.S. envoy calling murderer Putin a humanitarian while visiting him in Kremlin — when after failing to achieve his military goals, Putin directs Ukrainian civilians to be hunted in the streets or executed in their own homes.

IRS refuses to publish report.
Ahead of the midterm elections, the Trump regime is withholding detailed information that illustrates how King Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act hurt millions of Americans.
The data from the IRS was originally scheduled to be released in July & updated in September.
Fox commentator: Paxton doesn't have any values. I don't know how he'll vote. I suspect he'll vote for whoever the highest bidder is, which is certainly what we've seen him do in the Attorney General’s Office.
There is statistically NO correlation between Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries and global fuel costs. But there is a provable correlation between Trump setting the entire Middle East on fire and global fuel costs.

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

I'm a middle aged straight cis man. I'm tired of Sydney Sweeney. Is she nice to look at? Sure. But that doesn't make her special. There's no shortage of people who are nice to look at who don't promote white supremacy and have things to offer society besides their looks.
“Putin’s war of aggression and hoped-for conquest against Ukraine … is part of his quest to reconstitute America’s Soviet enemy.

If he can pull the plug on Ukraine’s security, he can do it to ours, making Musk a threat to national security. The solution is divestment and antitrust law. Too big to be trusted.
Basically SpaceX & Tesla's price is 10x underlying value on assumption Musk alone can do achieve monopoly pricing & growth for decades into the future, while Musk's erratic behavior assures that any company he runs is doomed to be crushed by concerned democracies making that assumption impossible.
This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...
Inside an ICE facility, women talked about the men whose 911 calls landed them there — the boyfriends or husbands who had beat them, choked them, threatened deportation.
“I had suffered from domestic violence,” one woman said. “But the one who ended up in trouble was me.”
“Our Christian faith asks us: what does it mean to be more compassionate? To love one another is to love God… we’ll never fix the system until we fix the heart that doesn’t see those suffering as brother or sister.”

I did a video one that earlier, but once again — Ukraine’s strikes are not responsible for the recent increase in gas prices, AND all strikes would end, if Russia ended its aggression against Ukraine.
A Texas Republican wants a billboard featuring Trump's endorsement to come down.
A lawyer for Eric Flores, who's running in a competitive House district, sent a cease and desist over a billboard it argues could "cause voter confusion."

Absolutely insane levels of spending by Elon Musk to help Republicans this fall, the New York Times documents.
$276 million just since this summer, most of which to help Senate Republicans.
