If you are too young to really remember the Obama years, conservatives were like this every single day. He really did just break their brains.

people magazine should have named zohran the sexiest man alive because it's true and it would piss off the worst people

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

Pleased to announce that my silly TikToks about AI are now officially *major award winning* silly TikToks about AI. :) Thanks to @scicommexcellence.nationalacademies.org for this award but also for helping legitimize/incentivize science communication! www.nationalacademies.org/news/nationa...

this is just insanely damning stuff when you lay it all out democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

It wouldn't even require legislation to close this loophole. The IRS just needs to formalize a rule that using stock/options as collateral for a loan constitutes a realization of the capital gain and triggers a taxable event.

“Billionaires who popularized stock-based lending include Larry Ellison and Elon Musk. Both borrow to avoid having to sell shares—which could trigger a taxes and dilute their voting rights—in companies they founded.” www.wsj.com/finance/the-...

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

The former CEO of Yahoo! and current founder of a chatbot app is going viral for using AI to list things she loves about her daughter. But what she has to say about women in tech in 2026 is worth talking about.

And who needs algebra. Or astronomy to the point of the first working observatories. Or the entire foundational conception of modern medicine and hospitalization. Or brewed coffee. Coffee alone is entirely enough to justify a civilization. Nothing justifies this shitpiece in our government.

We have 19 days left. Last night I got to make my pitch for why I want to be the next state senator for NC District 25. Early voting started today. I’m doing this, because I believe in us. #southey4senate #ncpol

I attended a forum two weeks ago against my Republican opponent for NC Senate District 25. One person in attendance said it had been forty years since they had witnessed the two candidates actually appear together for a debate/forum. The energy is here this cycle and it's going to be wild.

I was in NC this weekend, and it's clear the NC GOP is nervous. 90% of the ads on TV were strident attack ads focused on state house races.

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

Reporting on Keul's account: newrepublic.com/post/217159/...

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

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?

18k 18-29 voters in GA today, 53% of the same day in 2024, by far the highest %24 day so far. Today only: Black 18-29: 77.3% of 2024 White 18-29 voters in blue ATL counties: 51.9% White 18-29 in the rest of the state: 31.3% Cumulative numbers below

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

A former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993, according to her account to Congress. Trump has denied the allegations.

Israeli turnout now at 55.7% as of 4pm — up 8% on 2022 and the highest ever recorded in Israeli history. There are still six hours left of voting from 4pm and the Central Elections Committee says polling stations must remain open if there are voters still queuing.

Turnout in Israel is currently 44.9% — the highest ever recorded at 2pm in Israeli history. I'm optimistic this means the end of Netanyahu. Polling won't have reflected just how many will decide on the day that they cannot vote for the man who presided over the biggest slaughter of Jews since WW2.

@stano.bsky.social and I do indeed find that Trump has a special appeal to unmarried men without BA degrees, but not only in 2024. We will see whether another Republican could do the same. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

"We have not seen the end of this idea of a 'crisis of men' for reactionary politics. That will be with us for a very long time." I asked Nicole Hemmer if Trump use of misogyny as midterm Hail Mary will flop because the 2024 moment has passed. Her answer is good: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Abdul El-Sayed's "weird friends" didn't beat up 100+ cops while trashing the U.S. Capitol. JD Vance's "weird friends" did.

There's so much else wrong with this stupid lawsuit but on this specific point: despite being "busy" with "lives" and "jobs," Alaskans were able to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I when they reelected her to the Senate as a write-in candidate in 2010 after she lost the GOP primary.
