PATRIOT!

The NYT continues its sourcing problems, where they use political operatives as 'everyday people'. This is as much an editing and fact-checking error as a reporting one. One must ask why is it always GOP operatives-as-everyday people... Me, from 2020: medianut.substack.com/p/on-sourcin...

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

“I agree!” shouted James Donald Bowman, James David Hamel, JD Vance, Rafael Cruz, Kashyap Pramod Patel, Nimrata Randhawa, Piyush ‘Bobby’ Jindal, Anna Paulina Mayerhofer-Gamberzky-Luna, and Richard Lynn Myers (Rick Scott) to Donald J. Drumpf.

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

We're kind of to the point where almost nothing we learn about Trump is shocking in any way.

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Sen Tim Scott used to make a great deal of being an upright, civil, Christian person. Now he has decayed into the very definition of bigotry and vulgarity. bsky.app/profile/atru...

God bless @wsj.com for this editorial. www.wsj.com/opinion/elon...

I salute the WSJ for calling out the Trillionaire Traitor!

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

Reuters: US APPEALS COURT DENIES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST TO STOP CALIFORNIA FROM COUNTING MAIL BALLOTS FROM ALLEGED NONCITIZENS

The Republican nominee for governor is having trouble finding venues for his campaign events after defending his advertisement with Amy Acton’s mother. trib.al/FFQPcYT

Ding ding fucking ding.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Gov. Shapiro delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's Iran war: “He had no idea why he was going in. Never made the case to the American people.” Shapiro points to 21 American families who have lost loved ones, skyrocketing fuel costs, and a $3,100 “CHAOS TAX” hitting Pennsylvania households.

What a disgusting pig.

Experts say an Arizona land investment company closely tied to Nevada Republican David Flippo is “batshit” and a “huge red flag.” The company targeted fellow conservatives, then spent lavishly on Flippo’s behalf ow.ly/nXl55100aAy yet another banger by @nlanard.bsky.social

Folks…I’m beginning to suspect that Elon Musk doesn’t like Talarico.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver did a great episode last night highlighting the extremism and at most generous Nazi-adjacent members of the Republican Party, many of whom are up for election on November 3. Please take some time to watch it and send it to others. 💙

chat I don’t think doubling down on this ad is working out real well for vivek

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

🚨BREAKING: Judiciary Democrats’ report details mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities and DOJ’s cover-up; specific accounts involving 11 women provide more evidence of potential sex crimes. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

The response will be “she was a willing grownup who changed her mind after she didn’t get the perks she hoped for.” That response will come from thousands of people who have “Christian” in their bios.

There's just a smidge of evidence. @unvarnished.net

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.

Look it's 2026 and I know "the president is a rapist" is already baked in to everyone's opinion but the president of the United States is a fucking rapist and I would really appreciate it if the media would treat this like the major earth-shattering scandal that it should be.

"Fox News hosts are professional propagandists. I think they looked at Zacharia as someone who was not capable of covering for Donald Trump when he gets in trouble, someone who wouldn’t be able to lash out at the media for daring to cover him, and they helped her off stage because of that."

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

yup.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

It is not surprising that the WHCEA is lying, or that CATO mercilessly exposed and crushed those lies, but it’s still worth reading this excellent post for its systemic analysis of the costs and benefits of undocumented immigrants and, potentially, side kind of amnesty.

The White House Council of Economic Advisers claims mass deportation pays for itself because illegal immigrants impose such huge fiscal costs. What are these costs? It doesn't say, so I figured out what CEA did to invent them... www.cato.org/blog/white-h...

It doesn't (generally) communicate love/relationship. Ditto filling out the annual school forms with filming releases and doctor information and address. So the question is, is writing three nice things about your child more relational or more filling out forms. Smart people can differ, of course.
