I’ll stop texting when y’all get to voting! And send proof while you’re at it. 👀 Vote for me, Angie Nixon by or before November 3rd! #AngieforFlorida

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

This is one good example of how appropriations hardball can work if you're willing to not blink first. Another: take your pick for demands and restrictions on funding Executive Office of the President. Yes, literally defund the White House. EOP is the central hub of the assault on the Constitution.

Is all this really feasible? Won't Trump refuse to sign anything like this? Won't he litigate it? Won't it lead to government shutdowns? Yes, yes, and yes. But it's still absolutely doable and necessary. Here's why: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

🚨 LEAKED: In a fundraising appeal, Mike Rogers told potential donors, "When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk" from potential investigations into the harm caused by DOGE cuts. Rogers asked for donations so he could "protect Elon."

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."

RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Hey remember a couple months ago when I almost died from sleep apnea and begged y'all to be checked if you have symptoms of sleep apnea? Eric Bauza just died from sleep apnea. We were the same age. Don't ignore sleep apnea.

Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com

Do you get a full night's sleep but wake up feeling like death? Does your whole body feel off in ways you can't explain? Research signs of Sleep Apnea. Get a sleep test. You can't diagnose it yourself, cuz you sleepin'.

The capital cult really hates to be defied. From The Economist:

Randall Eliason@rdeliason.bsky.social

Telling headline in the WSJ: “clings to power?” He won the election by more than 3% and with more than 50% of the vote - how about just “prevails” or “wins re-election?” @wsj.com

The NYT — having been shamed for years for not posting court opinions — now does so, but only with its enraging workaround of posting a link to a page that has individual images of each page of any opinion. So, here, you load a page of 55 images that are completely unworkable for any future use.

the fact that trump is an ultra rapist and apex sex predator should always be juxtaposed with the fact that he launched his campaign slandering immigrants as rapists and a staple of his filthy rhetoric is raising the specter of the beastial man of color menacing white women

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

“Shadow docket” is the sort of name you’d come up with if you were writing an authoritarian dystopia.

Riki Wilchins@rikiwilchins.bsky.social

For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

Poisoning our air to make even more money for his oil and gas industry paymasters

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com

Trump is set to unveil a plan to dial back federal requirements designed to slash methane emissions from oil and gas operations, casting the proposal as a way to encourage more domestic energy production and lower costs.

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

Maybe things have changed, but in years past, you could tell which Financial District restaurants were the most expensive by seeing how many WSJ Editorial Page editors were dining inside

Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Roy Edroso reposted

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

This shit is so pitiful because you know Bessent would never normally enter a chain restaurant

David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social

You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!

Also, I'd love to know how two different stories -- each written by three reporters, with no overlap in the authors -- managed to find Jolene Riessen and make her the stand-in for apolitical Iowa farmers.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.
