NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

It is like they created Ossoff in a lab with the instructions "whatever the opposite of JD Vance is"

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

“In addition, giraffes are now tall horses. Because that’s what they are. They’re just tall horses. Everybody knows it, they just don’t say it. I’m not afraid to say these things. And those so-called capybaras will be known as ultimate guinea pigs.”

Trump: "We're gonna be signing a document today renaming artificial intelligence, because it's not artificial. We're gonna be naming it Super Intelligence. Officially renaming it."

I'm shocked to see Tuberville attacking furries given his past embrace of the community.

Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

"US foreign policy now hardly exists. It’s been replaced by random whims blurted out by an ignorant, easily confused amateur, who hasn’t done his homework, hasn’t thought through the implications of his declarations, and might very well change his mind without warning..." www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

ms.nowTrump stumbles into an international incident of his own making in IrelandThe underlying issue is best approached with a nuanced understanding of history, culture, diplomacy and regional politics. Trump skipped all that.

Ossoff on why he invoked Natalie Harp during his speech: "We're in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives ... and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself"

If I’m looking for the most important character reference of my life, I probably wouldn’t reach out to someone who went to court to be able to not have to be around me. But, then, I have options.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

I've never found Count Binface funny. But the right having a humourless strop about Count Binface is the most joyous political phenomenon in recent memory.

As far as "books for kids" go I do sometimes wonder if the existence of a YA shelf robs young folks of the joys of early unsupervised exposure to the ranting of depraved communists and libertarian sex-weirdos in the SFF section, an important inoculation when it doesn't destroy 3-10 years of yr life

Beshear on McConnell: "I'm concerned. I get that we all have a right to privacy for our health, but when you run for an office like mine or Sen. McConnell's you answer to the voters. If you're in the hospital for an entire month, you owe it to the people who elected you to give them an update."

Troll Claim: Hakeem Jeffries did bare minimum (or nothing) other than "strongly worded letters" Anyone who has been tuning in knows that is disinformation and troll fuckery that inures to the benefit of Republicans and other detractors (like DSA) Rebuttal:

States who think Trumps Freedom 250 is. 💩 Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, Illinois, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, and North Carolina

Trump said the repairs would cost $1.8 million. It ended up costing $14 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract that baked in a 20% profit margin. The typical federal construction contract profit margin is 6% to 12%. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

Look, I’m sorry but I just can’t believe the Knicks came all the way back. And I bet a lot of my fellow basketball fans feel similarly. This calls into question the legitimacy of their Game Four win.

Spurs had it won and then somebody "found" a whole bunch of Knicks points in the middle of the night.

Again, Bill Pulte is a 38-year-old -- no really, 38 -- who only holds a BA in broadcast journalism and absolutely zero experience in the intelligence field. He has no qualifications for this job at all. Aside from being a psychotic lickspittle to the president.

Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social

"The pick is bad for U.S. intelligence and a threat to civil liberties. But the greatest danger of appointing Pulte as DNI is that it’s a further step in Trump’s plans to subvert free and fair elections in the United States, in 2026 but especially in 2028." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Republicans say James Talarico ordered a vegan taco. Democrats say that it wasn't vegan because it had both egg and cheese—doubling down on the cultural elitism that has cost them so dearly in recent elections.

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.
