Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

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.

"I don't like bigotry. I don't like the Klan. I don't like neo-Nazis," Sen. Jon Ossoff says on his Republican opponent Mike Collins.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Democrats better not confuse gas price fury with thinking they figured out how to defeat Trumpism.

Jeff Bezos and I are very different people. For one thing, he is a sociopathic billionaire who built his fortune by monopolizing bookselling while I am a penniless author of books. He was born in 1964 and is 62; I was born in 1971 and am 55.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

My kid and trans people across America are about to see $100 million worth of ads in the next two months about how they are what’s wrong with everything. Would it fucking kill a politician who’s supposed to be on their side to just be on their fucking side?

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

For the past two years I've been tracking every bill proposed in state legislatures across the country to figure out what Republican plans for the future are. The answer, based on these 1,182 bills, is that they want to repeal the 20th Century heartlandsignal.com/2026/09/09/b...

Trump claiming he was at Ground Zero on 9/11, rescuing people from the rubble until the second tower fell? That's just him "adding to a disputed account." But Mamdani checking a box on a college application? THAT SON OF A BITCH WILL PAY

Largest Republican donor (by far): we should have a race war against non-whites. Corporate Media: Democrats really need to answer some hard questions about this Twitch streamer almost no one has ever heard of.

I am sharing this because I do think it's important for people to actually see the nature of this violence, and specifically the intentional, misogynistic degradation.

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

"An Air Force major who flew search-and-rescue helicopters was supposed to receive $340,000 and now relies on food banks for groceries. And at least 17 other Air Force members were promised early retirement, only to have the government claw back the agreement before the payments arrived"

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War — leading to a $93B windfall for the eight biggest oil companies in Q2 2026 alone. Meanwhile, Trump himself has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Don't forget what this was really all about.

I cannot stress this enough - the side claiming to “protect children” are now posting the names of children they claim to be trans, photos of those children to help people identify them, and the name of the school they attend. It is impossible to overstate the level of danger for these children.

Republican Sen. Murkowski says she will oppose Trump’s corrupt personal attorney Todd Blanche for AG: “The weaponization of the DOJ has accelerated… the $2 BILLION slush fund is only off the table because we have leverage… no confidence he’ll check Trump’s worst impulses…”
