"The votes aren't there" is cowardice masked as savviness. There has to be accountability for their crimes. The House has a duty to make the case here and if some GOP senators want to weasel out, make them own that vote. Don't let pundits and "strategists" talk you out of doing your damn job.

Surprising exactly zero people, "forgive my youthful indescretions committed at age 53" guy recently sponsored a law to get 15-year-olds tried as adults. nashvillebanner.com/2024/07/15/n...

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

Pat McAfee said that a University of Utah student calling him 'corny' made him feel uncomfortable. Okay, then Someone should ask him how Mississippi student Mary Kate Cornett felt when he used his show to amplify a false rumor about an 18-year-old's sex life.

This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

The Scene reports here that the “youthful indiscretions” Taylor refers to include unsolicited nude photos sent as recently as 2021 when he was 53.

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.

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

We gotta have a conversation about how comfortable Republicans have become saying "tranny" and nip that shit in the bud.

What in the ever loving racist incorrect mouth dropping is this??? The Arab world “produces” plenty of “science”… which is all the more impressive since the West periodically bombs all their shit.

Kudos to TIME for getting it right time.com/article/2026...

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Fucking weasels.

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

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.

Don’t let the tank tops and bro talk fool you, Pat McAfee is softer than melted butter

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

Yes NYT, the real issue with Trump's incoherent resentment about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize is that he's blaming the wrong people.

No you see AI won’t replace jobs it will simply make the jobs easier

The report alleges Donald Trump was an “active participant” in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. trib.al/r158uvt

Gotta get rid of the humans to pay for the data centers.

Hey Gemini what is my kid's name and what does she look like, I'm at her school play and I can't figure out which one it is

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders. Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!

Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

Maybe I'm overthinking this because I'm Catholic, but pretty sure all Catholics understand a calendar and the words "2 weeks before Election Day"... 🤔

every fawning profile of an AI innovator in the NYT is just a future essay in The Cut about why kids no longer talk to their parents

New Rule: Before any of you cis liberals come into a trans person's replies about how we need to suck it up and vote for bigot candidates, you are now required to list which specific rights YOU, personally, are willing to give up in exchange for your candidate's election.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

It seems impossible for our political system to hold the politicians tied to the actual invasion of our Capitol to account, but any random Muslim candidate is reflexively labeled a terrorist.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

These clips really condense the usual time scale on which he asserts something, is shown it's empirically wrong, and goes back to asserting it

Jan 2025: Trump shutters SDNY Epstein Probe Mar: 1000+ FBI agents are trained to mark Trump’s name for supervisory review May: Bondi tells Donald he’s in the files June: White House, DoJ, FBI conspire to create “case closed” memo July: Memo released Aug: Maxwell moved/sex offender status waived

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

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.

Really rocketing up the punchability ratings is TFG

A big reason why people w/ low incomes don’t share in our prosperity is that we underinvest in economic security programs like unemployment insurance, paid leave, housing, and other benefits. We spend FAR LESS on these programs than our peers do.

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!
