Trump is treason. You don't need any imagination, or fear of taking a tiny imagination step onto a potentially slippery slope, to foresee the consequences of his public words and actions and conclude that whatever specific motives or parties may be involved in it, it is treason.
My resistance to conspiracy theory thinking—just asking questions, imagining possible connections—is having trouble with the fact that Trump's surprise announcement reducing US military coordination with South Korea came right as North Korea is sending more troops to help Russia fight Ukraine.
Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy
Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr
I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!
The citizen who yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" is, in this hard time, a patriot. Honestly, what is left to say about this level of misrule? What careful critique hasn't been already offered? What reasoned response to this full-on run at fascism and kleptocracy remained unspoken?
Social Security filled in the citizenship line on 25 million Americans’ records using a Homeland Security database that has flagged citizens as noncitizens.
The agency called it the biggest cleanup in its 91-year history and said it is changing the citizenship status on 8.5 million more [more]
Everyone should read these threads I did about industry lobbyists and the EPA and understand them. Take the time to see the unambiguous evidence of what's happening now at this moment inside the EPA. Please retweet them. Please read them. Each one of the threads. It's happening in slow motion.
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months.
Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic.
But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband.
Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
BREAKING: The hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau "will not move forward," the lead researcher says.
“The solution is clear here: Take the money and vaccinate as many kids as you can,” @pauloffit.bsky.social told me:

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of.
1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.
As seen on @lastweektonight.com 👀
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so we did it instead.
Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations: https://projects.propublica.org/rx-inspector/
im trying to document this Talarico conspiracy theory and i don't think i can possibly top this one
right-wing conspiracy brain is so advanced that they are accusing their own conspiracies of being false flags
The APA has chosen to become another arm of the Committee To Fire Lisa Cook And By Extension Bar All Black Female Leaders From Existing Where White Men Would Have To Acknowledge Their Authority
🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Oh, spare me the bullshit redemption tour.
Everyone knew what this was going to be.
“Thom Tillis calls his vote to confirm Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth his “biggest regret” and says Hegseth should resign.”

This is why everyone must go listen to season 3 of the otherwise not-great podcast Something Was Wrong. We're living in the surreal fight about whether Victoria got fired from her job, and no one has any idea why they care about this, but they do, and in fact they'll very literally die on the hill.
NEW AD: Today on House Hunters, Ken Paxton is shopping for a new house.
Will he buy the three-story luxury lodge in Oklahoma? The condos at a wellness resort in Utah? The ocean-view property in Hawaii?
(Spoiler alert: He won’t take one — he’ll take 15.)
The Star Spangled Banner being played by the Mariachi Herencia de Mexico band before the Bears-Eagles game in Chicago on Monday Night Football was a deeply cool thing to see tonight
I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.
What the shit is this?
>"Citizens in need should not have to compete with fugitives for taxpayer assistance. We appreciate the opportunity to assist HUD-OIG in negating this fraudulent receipt of benefits via multiple arrests,” said Eric Gartner, United States Marshal for the Eastern District of PA
Election Day is 37 days out. Before You Vote went live tonight at govbrief.today/vote, 50 pages, one for each state, a year of stories sorted by where you live with the links to check your registration at the top. Nobody narrates it, and nobody paid for it but me.
We’ve now reached the point of “black site” hearings – secret, illegal hearings as part of Trump & Stephen Miller’s wretched crusade to detain & deport our immigrant neighbors.
Quite literally: hidden tribunals that disappear people.
"The Trump administration’s decision not to invite the leading international election observation body to monitor crucial US midterm polls fuels fears of serious human rights concerns around the upcoming elections, Human Rights Watch said today."

I’m introducing a moratorium on our government’s use of facial recognition technology with Senator Markey.
Every American deserves a reasonable expectation of privacy. We need to stop the constant, nonconsensual state of surveillance.
Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today
Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists!
Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...
You can aggressively mute accounts on here that promote nonsense and still end up with a feed mighty preoccupied by both the **seductive** powers of tucker carlson and marjorie taylor green speaking a rare few tidbits of objective truth and the abject evil of red state Dems espousing incrementalism.
