You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

God, can you imagine what the tariff on adamantium from Canada would be?

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

It’s a decision to spend fewer dollars on SNAP while funding random elective wars and ICE and ads for Trump

These racist, festering lesions don’t get to dictate what it means to be an American.

In 1874, Congress stripped (30% Black) DC of its local government altogether. For the next 100 years, a federally-appointed, three-member Board of Commissioners would run the city, along with the House and Senate District committees in Congress.

How did DC lose Home Rule in the first place? In the I870s, Black elected officials began shaping public policy in DC, mandating equal pay for white and Black teachers and more. In retaliation, Congress began shrinking the role of DC’s locally elected government.

🧵Come along with us for a Home Rule Walking tour. We’re covering the history of DC's struggle for self-governance since the District lost Home Rule in the 1870s.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Sean Johnson for DC United: 30 games, 53 goals allowed, 6 clean sheets. Tyler Miller for DC United: 30 games, 53 goals allowed, 6 clean sheets. #DCU

Infuriatingly bad. #DCU

It makes me really sad that #DCU sucks shit.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

I’m back in NE Ohio! I’ve seen more Ramaswamy and Husted signs than Acton and Brown signs, but more Watch Out for Horse and Buggy signs than either.

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

This election is putting into sharp relief how the entire GOP strategy is about ensuring as many people as possible can’t vote. At its most basic level, democracy is about voting. Support the party that supports voting. That’s the table stakes of democracy.

Thoughts to @jch24.bsky.social's family.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Drop a BAD ASS ONE LINER

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.

This is sad. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s historic World War II globe was broken when Pete Hegseth’s team dropped it while trying to move it into his office.

Former #DCU players Chris Durkin and Lukas MacNaughton converted their penalty kicks to help St. Louis City SC win the US Open Cup.

Brandon Servania has now played more minutes for DC United than Earnie Stewart. Kye Rowles has played more minutes than Chris Rolfe. #DCU

Andre Dozzell has now played more minutes for DC United than Darren Mattocks. Tai Baribo has played more minutes than Mark Lisi and fellow DP Branko Boskovic. Silvan Hefti has played more minutes than Milton Reyes. Keisuke Kurokawa has played more minutes than Stephen King. #DCU

Oscar Avilez has now played more minutes for DC United than Maxim Tissot. Sean Nealis has played as many minutes as Quincy Amarikwa. Nathan Ordaz has played more minutes than David Hayes. Kimito Nono has played more minutes (and scored more goals) than Dominique Badji. #DCU

Alex Bono has surpassed Scott Garlick on the list of most games played by a goalkeeper for DC United, claiming 6th place to himself. He needs to play 13 more to catch Mark Simpson and enter the top 5. #DCU

Matti Peltola has tied Ola Kamara for most games played for DC United by a Scandinavian player. #DCU

Imagine putting a team together that didn’t suck shit. #DCU

JD Vance greeting Bengals players and most are ignoring him lol

East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @jimacosta.bsky.social and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.” After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling. A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians? Why does DHS need this?

North Carolina’s Democratic governor warns that the absentee ballot rejection rate is twice as high as in 2022 thanks to last-minute changes by Republicans. He recommends voting in person if you can (early voting is even better!) wcti12.com/news/local/g...

It's not that they're all attracted to kids, it's that it's ideologically important to them that children and women are the property of men.

Pedocon theory remains undefeated. Given any chance to defend pedophiles, Republicans will take it.

All cops are something something.

I think we need to consider the possibility he’s made a huge Polymarket bet on Acton winning the election and is actively trying to throw it

Wow. Vivek Ramaswamy admits he was responsible for the despicable attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother.

Enjoying the cursed monkey’s paw wish of wanting to spend the first year of our new baby’s life together at home.

He should not be allowed to have any government contracts--he is operating like a rogue state.

Dunno that I've ever quite heard this tone from him before.

YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"
