You want to see stuff happen? Get the Dems the majority in the House AND the Senate The Dems impeached Trump TWICE in the House when they held the majority, but each time the GOP Senate majority refused to convict If Dems win the Senate, it's Judgement Day⚖️ Polls aren't votes! GOTV! #VoteBlue

Interesting approach by Mike Rogers to make his loyalty to Elon Musk & the oligarchy an explicit part of his campaign earlier this year. “When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk,” Rogers wrote. www.metrotimes.com/news/mike-ro...

The political ads during the World Series are really, really gross. Followed by ads with Sidney Sweeney for Polymarket, ugh.

Like Trump?

Also for what it is worth, it DIDN'T actually label them as illustrative — and the deception was only apparent because I know the data well. That's scary, because if you use AI for everything, you wouldn't know the data well enough to catch its deceptions.

Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us. Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.

Best day for democracy worldwide in quite some time: Brazil’s center-left president won the runoff in an upset, blocking the far-right from gaining unified power. Serbia’s right-wing authoritarian government finally lost control of parliament after more than a decade in power

Mayer could save even more time by: 1. Asking her Dazzle assistant to notify the nannies to provide the daughter an additional hug 2. Simultaneously Dazzle can email this piece directly to her daughter's therapist 3. And Dazzle can arrange the Waymo's for Marielle's extra sessions #ParentingWin

i think it's not actually good or nice to validate young people's impressions that their future is gone, speaking as someone who had elders do this to me over and over again throughout my youth

I’m sure it takes a long time to fact-check and clear, but the author seems to say he’s had wind since 2020 of the fact that the Dutch spy services had compromised & been surveilling Kushner’s iPhone X, and could see him engaging in shady UAE–Azerbaijan bank transactions

Another author who withheld reporting for the book has hit the timeline…

I got to know the back way thru a Seattle hospital when my mom was in the ICU One sad day I got on an empty elevator & TS followed me. I hesitated, then told him what a big fan my Dad was, & that my family would quote his Top Gun lines to each other He couldn't have been more gracious RIP Viper

Rage baited by the inanity of The NY Times voter interviews.

These fucking fucks

way more than two years, michael

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

She is CBS News’ Chief Political and Legal Corespondent! Mask off indeed.

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw Trump so desperate that he's begging Putin for diesel. But listen to this -- at the very same time, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and the Trump campaign. Y'all remember Jared Kushner?"

Never been a clearer grift www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... bsky.app/profile/atru...

X and Meta interfering in Brazilian elections. Starlink siding with Russia. That's just this week. It's not a word I use lightly, but we are at war with the tech oligarchs whether we like it or not.

FUCK YOU

The head of lettuce remains undefeated.

Anti-abortion politicians are waiting to attack abortion access nationwide until AFTER the midterm elections, because they know their agenda is wildly unpopular at the polls. ⏰️ Vote early! Vote like your rights depend on it. Talk to your friends— every single vote counts.

This is perverse.

Elon Musk is single-handedly funding the Ken Paxton campaign:

Sen. Ron Wyden: My heart is with the victims of today’s shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School & their loved ones now facing the consequences of another school shooting in America Once again we must ask how many schools must be shot up before Republicans agree to act to curb gun violence 💔 #Vote

"Some have benefited from regulatory decisions, government contracts, and in one case a pardon for a family member" Want to hold Trump & his cronies accountable? Flip the House & flip the Senate Dems impeached Trump TWICE in the House, but the GOP Senate majority let him off each time #VoteBlue

It cannot be stressed enough, in part because our political press seems to just brush this off, but Donald Trump loves state-sanctioned violence. When he says this, he absolutely means it. Remember, when the J6ers were going to hang Mike Pence on the Capitol lawn, Trump was perfectly fine with it.

I’ve been biting my tongue on this one. But I’m just going to come out and say it: The Sexual Citizenship approach is the next era of symbolic compliance for campus sexual violence. It’s trying to solve sexual violence by putting more chairs in dorm rooms. Literally.

Voting rights groups are suing Texas after the state failed to process more than 500,000 voter registration applications submitted through the Texas Department of Public Safety’s web portal.

Yes, they’re trying to bankrupt the ACA by doing this & destroying it But don’t miss the $$$$$ in Big Wellness he & his friends are gleefully raking in If ppl don’t have healthcare, they run to grifters promising protocols & cures This makes RFK & the MAHA & “wellness space” ppl very very rich

a TOS violation to state. He will have the blood of children on his hands I don’t know what if anything Whitmer can/is doing to slow or mitigate this But again we need to focus our anger on the most culpable, and that is Donald Trump & the illegitimate insurrectionist government he leads

what power he has to slow this down—6 months delay puts us into a likely Democratic Congress & the potential to block this. Polis is a total piece of shit & I hope his political career ends with his term—or ideally sooner if the legislature could impeach & remove him. What I really wish for him is

I have a transgender daughter, now an adult, who started medical transition at age 12. I know how vital gender affirming care is, that it is literally life-saving treatment. Losing that care will kill children. Especially in the case of Colorado it looks like Polis isn’t even attempting to use

The Supreme Court has already green lit Trump’s actions here, meaning that the only way to block or rescind this vile extortion is to remove from power the people holding trans kids hostage Which means however angry you are at the Democrats over their actions here, we *must* elect more Democrats

if those states don’t punish—in a cruel & life threatening way—the roughly 14K transgender minors who live in each Losing Medicaid $’s will cause hospitals to close, putting 1000s or 10s of 1000s of people out of work, harming non-Medicaid patients & wrecking local economies

Most of the anger this is & will generate on Bluesky is being directed at the Democratic Party which I get. But we can’t lose sight of who is ultimately responsible for this—the Trump admin—& what they’re doing: Threatening to take *all* healthcare away from ~2 million people in each state

I worked with—and deeply admired—Helen for almost 30 years. She was hands down *the best source* about emerging infectious diseases that I've ever known. My first warning of COVID was when on Dec 28, 2019 she reposted a ProMED mail report of an atypical pneumonia cluster: "This doesn't look good."

A new example of the unique brainworms found in the San Francisco left: DSA-SF has apparently refused to take a position on Proposition G, which would destroy Sunset Dunes park and reopen the Great Highway to cars. Why? It doesn't achieve "working-class justice."

Manchin was an 80/20 guy - with you on 80% of stuff, obstinate on the rest (which whatever) whereas his replacement is a 0/100. But Sinema’s replacement is like going from a 1994 Hyundai that may or may not start depending on the wind to a 2024 Toyota. Just massive upgrade.

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan
