Also weird because this is not the kind of afterlife in which Hindus believe. He’s a total ABCD (IYKYK)

The dirty money pays for more than just ads.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Roger Marshall, on and on - everywhere you look the most despicable humans financed by a handful of billionaires and elevated by Trump want you to give them even more political power to serve their interests at your expense.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The most sickening thing is not that Elon Musk is pumping hundreds of millions into the midterm elections. The most sickening thing is that this doesn't make even a dent on his grotesque fortune, which means he will continue to abuse the power his wealth provides him.

Canada is our friend. Europe is our friend. Ukraine is our friend. Trump is not our friend.

In a country with no single, standardized system to prove citizenship, the new requirement could prevent thousands of voters who register at the BMV while applying for a driver's license from doing so and ultimately voting. Read the full story:

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Do you think by now most Trump supporters know he’s a fucking idiot but they’re committed to the bit, or is it that they still haven’t figured it out yet?

We’re on a path to lose the Senate but win the House. Let’s make sure we win both. We can’t move forward with the plan to expand the supreme court if we don’t win the senate.

MSM is too busy chasing the imaginary $5,000 checks to notice what's about to happen to the oil markets.

Not an expert in this, but my sense is outside of specialist circles, mainstream media hasn’t quite caught onto the significance of Houthis controlling one side of “the other Strait”

Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg refused to tell the public the deadly truth about the toxic environment caused by 9/11. How many lives could have been saved if they had told the truth? Another terrible lesson in the need for honest leadership. open.substack.com/pub/america/...
