What is the point of having a Congress if they won't exercise their congressional power over regulation, budgeting, appointments, and war? The unitary executive renders the legislature wholly irrelevant. We have a King. Am Unamerican unpatriotic betrayal of the founding ideals of this country.

Thank God the eminently hard hitting and scrupulously fair @startribune.com is focused on the important stories leading up to next week's election: Muslims scary! 😱 Nary a word on the biggest scandal of our times a week out from elections. This is why I don't give you money. I have ethics.

How many Republican senators is Musk trying to buy?

Uh, internet, help a gal find a wildly inappropriate privacy T-shirt please?

The media has ALWAYS treated Trump’s sexual abuse as ho hum from the time he came down the escalator. Remember they were more interested in Clinton’s emails than the “grab ‘em by the pu**y” recording. It’s enraging.

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

Thread 🧵 Over 170 House Dems sent a letter to AG Blanche condemning Trump's raid on @ilhanmn.bsky.social's home. Letter available here & in tweets below, you will find who *didn't* sign including Pelosi, Hoyer, Stevens, Scholten, Golden, Moskowitz & dozens more: defendilhan.com

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

Trump out here trying to delegitimize every election won by Democrats as fraudulent with that line about MN not having been won since Nixon. Democrats cannot win validly, only by cheating per Trump's antidemocratic lies.

Forget a Gundam, @danielsuitor.com . Get @ilhanmn.bsky.social a sax lol.

This man controls technology that is critical to national security. Arrogant and unserious.

. . . at the vehicle wasn't part of that leak. That came out Thursday night. And it's damning. The officer -- Hunter Foster -- clearly fired from beside, and then behind, the vehicle.The fatal shot was fired through the passenger side window. Contrary to claims from some outlets . . .

It’s truly wild how overt the racism has gotten since the instigating of racist pogroms during the last election. A floodgate has opened and it doesnt seem to even register with the media.

This motherfucker can eat shit.

Obama could 100% get Trump to go all colonel Jessup.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Yglesias is stupid. This is myopic AF. The price of tea in China impacts the production of tea in the US which impacts the price of potash in Canada. We globalized in the 20th century & that rabbit isn't going back in the hat. Pretending otherwise is not just ignorant, it's dangerously convenient.

Pretti and Good's memorials. Make it happen.

hell yeah. Bovino says that he and the Trump administration leaving Mpls was "surrender". I will never stop hating this pissy violence toddler, and will never forget him gleefully handing out tear gas to his goons like so many party favors. Surrendered, you did. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The global pro-democracy, anti-fascist movement just notched two major wins today, after Students List in Serbia ousted strongman Aleksandar Vučić and Brazilian President Lula defeated the son of the man behind Brazil’s Jan 6 to win reelection! In 9 days, U.S. next!

Jesus wept. What is happening here?

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

I call bullshit. Commercial terms on large $$$ deals have notice before suspension. Government contracting will be even tighter. This is him desperately CYAing. Break his companies up & nationalize Starlink and SpaceX. Can't have a drug addicted billionaire controlling critical infrastructure.

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we're not getting a blizzard this Halloween.

Jesus, people still not learning not to share all their personal information on social media for trends? Quick, tell me your first concert and car too.

Can we say the magic word yet? Treason is happening.

It's fair to say at this point Republican voters are not just rape apologists, but rape enthusiasts.

A decade on from the Access Hollywood tape, the culture Trump wrought has metastasized, with rape and rape culture influencing campaigns at all levels. I reflected on what it was like covering that event, and how I feel similar fury now on Acton’s behalf: www.thehandbasket.co/p/vivek-rama...

New — I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamy’s weaponization of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse and how it’s only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:

It's been 9 months since Alex Pretti was killed after being disarmed by federal agents and Renee Good being shot in the face by federal agents. No one has been held responsible. Images from Minneapolis in October 2026. My ongoing coverage from Minneapolis: chaddavis.photography/sets/ice-in-...

"AI is just three racoons wrapped in a trenchcoat and every one can leak your data," says Chase Peterson at @bsidestc.org on AI Third Party Risk Management.

"Non-Prod is there for a reason," says CISO Mea Clift @bsidestc.org on AI third party risk management.

I'm hearing talks about increases of 25-30% in health insurance next year. Our rates have basically doubled in three years because the GOP took a wrecking ball to insurance. Never let them claim they're the party of small business again.

JFC. He's planning to wag the dog and they're going to copy Ukraine and hit data infrastructure.

Now we're talking about how to crack Chromebooks at @bsidestc.org and I'm suddenly concerned about the one sitting on my couch right now used for random stuff like surfing and streaming. 🤣

"Where did CISA go?" the audience jokes at a slide about government diversity stats at @bsidestc.org , after the Trump admin and Musk's DOGE gutted the key security agency.

"Stay safe. Fuck ICE." @lookitup.baby opening up @bsidestc.org with a talk about how lessons learned during the Occupation carry over into work protecting users in security.

I have ovarian clear cell which is hard to treat but there is a trial out there for my cancer using mRNA and we need more funding and this stupid anti mRNA lie to go away so that we can have an attempt at a life lengthening treatment.

mRNA might be the most important technology ever developed. And the rubes want to kill it.

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

Dem ads: you should have healthcare and this war is stupid GOP ads: James TalaFREAKO doesn’t even HATE TRANS PEOPLE and my opponent was RAPED AS A CHILD AND THAT’S GOOD

Absolutely dick move. Fire whoever sent this.

Shame on BakerHostetler. It's already shameful to be supporting the GOP given the rampant attacks on the rule of law and corruption. To support the morally bankrupt depravity that is the Vikek campaign attacking a woman who was raped as a child is disgusting. Fucking disgusting.

This is *real, real bad*. Also, this judge is almost 80, so I suspect either he didn't know how AI works or...one of his clerks inserted it. (Either way, to be clear, the judge is ultimately responsible for what goes out in his name.)

Coming to @bsidestc.org tomorrow. Do I need to bring a case of tequila for folks?

One day, we're gonna learn that this guy died bc his wife put rat poison in his food. 🤷‍♀️
