The FEC compiles campaign finance data. It plays zero role in administering elections

1. It's because the conservative press will talk about nothing else 2. The mainstream press likes how the conservative press sets the agenda, makes their jobs a lot easier

it is odd in retrospect how easy it was for the “but trump ended his friendship with epstein” narrative to be accepted as fact

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

honestly prosecute merrick garland too

Lenders agreed to do this, and personally, I give zero fucks if they failed to accurately price the risk or hedge. Sorry, not sorry, if Tesla sells at 25 cents on the dollar and you have big write down coming.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Othering her (Catholic) so not really Christian might work in the some places in the South where they only have a small presence, but Texas has quite a few.

Roughly 1/4 of its workforce. $MSFT

If they actually want to get thru the next two years, there’s not really another choice

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

First time I'm ever voted in a state that allows straight ticket voting. I hope some of this translates to better than expected Dem votes here in SC. Funny, one of the last Graham ads I heard was warning people choosing not to vote for her by leaving it blank/3rd party was a vote for Chuck Schumer.

The big issue is a generation of kids that will believe this is normal or acceptable behavior. That is why accountability is necessary.

Donald Trump: Ethnic group X and also ethnic group Y are all stupid idiots and rapists and thieves. They should all be deported at gunpoint. MAGA: LOL triggered much libs? Barack Obama: Cheesecake Factory’s a little tacky, eh? Also MAGA: You have literally murdered my family.

Stunning Lula victory in Brazil is another sign of how easily we all let ourselves get psy-op-ed by the right's expressions of confidence into, you know, believing them. We really have to get over that habit!

This is bad. And I worry that this idea of what is and isn't fair in youth sports is going to expand beyond trans kids. We'll see more and more "skilled" kids who aren't white be kicked off fields and banned for not playing fair.

He literally pulled the plug on interceptors that were saving civilian lives from Russian missiles.

Does this work with anyone other than diehard MAGA? They already have them, they've never waivered.

Democrats lost in 2024 because voters 1) Didn't think Trump would do what he said he'd do, and 2) they think Dems don't fight. Namely, they thought if Trump were as bad as they said, they'd be fighting harder. This is the most important thing to remember when you see Dems cave. That's how we lose.

There’s no discussion of potential penalties in this article, but if people don’t go to jail for flagrant illegality like this, it will keep happening. For companies like Google, fines are just another cost of doing business. Something to toss on the balance sheet and weigh against profits.

A lot of dictatorships try to make these kind of arrangements when things go south. Important to remember there are other kinds of criminal, civil and reputational accountability pardons can’t touch. And if you’re pardoned you have no 5th amendment rights.

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

I saw a ton of comments here about the new Carrie and have to admit it's better than I thought. They are not rehabbing her Mom or classmates.

Every D presidential hopeful for 28 should announce their intent to seize any Russian equity interest in this company the day they're sworn in.

If he offered anything in return for the money, even just conversations with his father-in-law, then he would have violated U.S. bribery laws and the foreign agent statute. trib.al/YCI9zJM

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

So much for "Don't be evil".

Complete bullshit. The body cam footage shows nothing of the kind. It shows a bunch of cops rushing a car over alleged shoplifting, and a driver trying to flee. It’s an easily disproven lie, strikingly similar to the DHS lies about Renee Good and others. mississippitoday.org/2026/10/22/s...

He'd be the little dog, do it! Do it! Because he sure as hell isn't suited for any ass kicking.

Going to go popular movie here, nothing too deep, especially since none of these guys interpret anything they read in a normal fashion. Imagine watching Guardians of the Galaxy and thinking the ppl that created creatures like Rocket Racoon were the good guys.

“The communications backbone for an entire country’s military has gone down and nobody knows who is responsible” Yeah we’re gonna need to send people to prison and start nationalizing things.

Reminded of how tv news looped the images of the military equipment the Biden administration deliberately left behind in Afghanistan for weeks after the withdrawal as if they represented a huge scandal
