The replies and quotes to this were full of polio vaccine and antibiotics but dudes. Smallpox. We eradicated smallpox so hard that people don't even think about it anymore. A disease that is estimated to have killed 300 million people in the 20th century alone is just GONE.

The Republican Party surrounding themselves with pedophiles, rapists, and their supporters is nothing short of a bizarre turn for the Moral Majority folks.

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

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.

This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

Lol congrats to all the chuds who spent the past 24 hours clutching their pearls pretending that Obama insulted Cheesecake Factory just so Trump could actually insult it.

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

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

so a couple racist cops got mad about the brown, muslim mayor using the gym at night so it wouldn’t disturb anyone and now we have this story that makes zohran look cooler than ever. good job to everyone involved

Anyone who hears Obama's actual joke will be baffled by the controversy so look for those who are pushing it to instead cover his "controversial remarks" and intentionally mischaracterize them rather than say what they were. Take note of who in the "mainstream" media does this

BTW This is the same answer Gov. Andy Beshear made in the 2023 race when facing these attacks, and he won by 5% in R+30 Kentucky Its not that complicated, yall

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.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

has mmfa or someone like that compiled a comparison of airtime and front page headlines given to hunter biden vs jared kushner, given that kushner's alleged corruption is about 1000x larger, you would expect it to receive more coverage than Hunter's, right?

I'm going to point out that Jesse Singal has a very public track record of being intensely, specifically cruel to individuals, specifically the trans people who criticize him, whom he has hounded to their workplaces, harassed online, and (at times) successfully gotten fired from their jobs

Amid the many casualties of the dismantling of the fourth estate is this: we used to have real war correspondents and we would have seen some of this on CNN. This is being kept from us by a captured media.

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!

Reminded of how tv news looped the images of the military equipment the Biden administration deliberately left behind in Afghanistan for weeks after the withdrawal as if they represented a huge scandal

if you ever write an article about a guy saying hes done with politics and then a month or so later hes making the largest political donation in history then you need to quit and find another line of work

This is the ninth (9th) major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald.

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

Hard not to conclude that this is just straightforwardly a pro-rape caucus.

this is like a reverse "daisy." an ad so reprehensible that it detonates the candidate's campaign. tiffinohio.net/posts/acton-...

Dr. Amy Acton's campaign is out with a statement:

The man who asked the question is a literal white nationalist operative who is suggesting El-Sayed is a terrorist and these fucking twerps are like “He came off a little smug”

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*

Marisa's entire piece is terrific, but this part has really stuck with me. A group of College Republicans decided that El-Sayed wasn't "welcome" in the Senate and set out to stop him.

when critics of bari weiss say that she is not a journalist, we mean that literally. she does not respect or even appear to understand the values of the profession. everything for her is propaganda. www.semafor.com/article/10/1...

Jan is a chief CBS reporter. She tweeted this about Tommy, the Republican operative accusing Abdul El-Sayed of terrorism, then deleted it. Zero questions about Tommy declaring he wants the Bible to supersede the Constitution. We need independent media. Join: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

The whole reason the video went viral was explicitly because it was not even remotely "heated" and Abdul immediately provided a calm lesson on the Constitution and the problems of bigotry. And this is how CNN frames it? WTF?

Didn’t have to go far back for this one, because it’s from today. Mike Lawler - the man who brought bigoted grifting rapist Donald Trump to #NY17 this summer - is calling Jamie Raskin a ‘POS’ and telling Cait Conley to cancel his visit. This is #TheRealMikeLawler. And he’s crashing out.

Right, the problem was that it showed this correspondent was (1) biased & bigoted and (2) unable to understand what had actually transpired at the event, both of which are disqualifying for a reporter.

They are absolutely doubling down on a bold faced lie. They are betting the bank that people will believe what they say as opposed to the video evidence. Incredible. And incredibly insulting to all of us who can watch the video.

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.
