We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

i’m so sick of arguing on the internet. let’s fight in real life instead.

Nothing strange at all about the third wife of the president, whose immigration papers he won't release, revealing she has direct access to Putin, that she didn't use as Russia slaughtered and kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids.

Parties have always faced tradeoffs, like between swing voters and activists in the base. But the consultant class isn’t a tradeoff. It’s, to use an econ concept, rent extraction You’re being asked to sacrifice to save democracy. We’re just saying that the consultants should too.

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.

The racism that Abdul El-Sayed is facing from Republicans, the press, and even some Democrats is so disgusting.

When the $$$ tactic meets real life…you want this to feel like a text from a familiar. But since you have eleventy billion spam/scam PACs doing it, the actual effect is more like I have an acquaintance who is so self centered he doesn’t even realize he just texted me from his secret phone, too.

I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues, Charlie Brown

That charmless JD Vance is more bothered with Republicans who noticed that an ad using a lying pedophile-supporter to besmirch the reputuation of Vivek Ramaswamy's opponent is wildly inappropriate than the ad itself tells you that JD Vance is morally bankrupt.

El-Sayed’s response to Kennedy:

statler and waldorf but it’s al-sayed and ossoff heckling republicans

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

A new public poll dropped in Florida today showing the Senate race is tied 47-47. We can do this people. Let’s put the people first for once. LINK to Angie Nixon Campaign.

Has Mike Rogers disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ken Paxton disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Mike Collins disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Jon Husted disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Susan Collins disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ashley Moody disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ashley Hinson disavowed Elon Musk yet?

I very much appreciate where this person’s head and heart are at. And. We don’t need men to help us heal - we need them to end the culture of possession, entitlement, and violence that results in sexual assault. We can’t do that — only you dudes can. Create a safe world for ALL of us.

Mike Rogers sent me mail letting me know that murderers and rapists and criminals go to jail with him. So he’s a criminal I guess and he really wants me to know?

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY POINT IN HISTORY WHERE IT HAS BEEN IN THE BEST INTEREST OF WOMEN TO DEPEND UPON THE BENEVOLENCE OF MEN

Here’s what’s important for you to know real pastors don’t support you becoming a trad wife… because there has never been a point in history where it has been in the best interest of women to solely depend on the benevolence of men for their wellbeing

“It is Macklemore, not Sheeran, who has been barred from performing. Yet somehow the story is about Sheeran’s freedom to be apolitical.”

STOP QUOTE TWEETING THE POLL ACCOUNTS THAT NEVER LINK BACK TO THE POLLS THEY'RE MENTIONING thank you

Perpetually “concerned” Susan Collins should be VERY concerned by the latest reporting from ProPublica, revealing her involvement in an alleged bribery/pay to play scheme of awarding defense contracts to a specific firm right after that company made campaign “donations." youtu.be/f2fFlCPjKnk?...

When they said AI would kill us they meant by being bad at skilled work such as air traffic control — not by creating Terminators and Sentinels and Ultrons.

Me: wearing a black v-neck tee. My kid: okay Abdul (complimentary) Me: WHY THANK YOU.

I’m proud to be endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign. This country was founded on the principle of freedom and equality. As extremists take aim at our civil liberties, we need leaders to fight back. I will stand with the Human Rights Campaign to fight for a better future together in Congress.

Before being allowed to take your seat on a flight, you should be required to demonstrate that you know how to use headphones when watching videos on your phone.

I guess at least this year we are starting in the trash instead of the slow Sunday dread of falling through the ranks each week.

It’s okay to respect what Macklemore is doing without taking a shot at his music. I saw y’all when Thrift Shop came out. Let’s not pretend you’re too good now.

Update: NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson is scheduled to appear on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Tuesday to present the opposing viewpoint on the Protect College Sports Act after Ted Cruz’s GameDay appearance

Behind the scenes, Bari Weiss leaned on one unreported relationship to secure the “60 Minutes” airman interview, we have learned—an exclusive that former staffers of the newsmagazine criticized as “propaganda.” Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/bari-s-pen...

the defining aesthetic of our time is guys on peptides getting vacuum sealed into “bespoke” suits they bought with a direct marketing promo code

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

I think Elie Wiesel said it best: "We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

Representatives from the University of Michigan faced tough questions and a lot of vitriol from the citizens of Ypsilanti Township Wednesday night. Here are a few scenes from the nearly 3 hour meeting. Read the story by @mjgault.bsky.social: www.404media.co/we-did-not-i...

I'm a white Arab American. Most ppl would never know that's my background by looking at me. The day after 9/11, family friends, who did not know, where at the house and openly talking about how all Arabs and Muslims in the US should be rounded up into camps. I was 12 years old. We were never united.

If this looks familiar, it’s because it is a repost of a tweet I posted five years ago bc yes, I am still thinking about it. Here’s the rest of the thread:

Thinking about how a girl at Christian summer camp asked me if my dad was in Al Qaeda and I got in trouble for asking if her dad was a Klansman bc “her question was understandable”

white supremacy is not a "growing" problem in the republican party. it is a central feature attracting new younger members. from october:

"Some Republicans have expressed concern that a small but growing faction of younger people in the party have interacted with or expressed fealty to white nationalist and racist ideologies that have long been considered fringe." O RLY

theres just this assumption that they are going to win votes but theyre not. theyre shooting themselves in the foot either because they are actually bigoted or because they think it will win them votes. no evidence at all though that the latter is true

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people

Met @marisakabas.bsky.social at the Status Summit today and I, a professional communicator, could only manage to say I’M OBSESSED WITH YOU ON BLUESKY So here I am, being obsessed some more 🙈
