Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil and is headed to the United States after losing Sunday’s presidential election, two sources have confirmed to CNN.

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

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

AOC with Troy Jackson at @mpuniversity.bsky.social event: "There are a lot of consultants out here in Washington that would tell him 'do not sit [on] a stage next to her.'... It takes a lot to say 'you know what, No, I know my people, and I know who I am, and I'm going to do things my way."

Step by step, day by day, Americans experience the big platforms becoming Orwellian political censors. The US needs a federal government that will tax them and break them up; the democratic world needs to learn the lesson and protect itself.

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.

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

Comcast NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News, gave Trump $7.5 million for his ballroom project. Amazon, whose founder Jeff Bezos also owns the Washington Post, donated $5 million. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Yet another issue where the only reasonable position is "everybody goes to jail." Anything less is incompatible with the rule of law.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Turning state violence into a public spectacle is a very fascist move BTW.

Not sure Trump’s pre election desperation mode is going anywhere that actually works for him, but it’s certainly plumbing new depths of depravity.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

Announcing the merger with Titanic footage is an incredible bit

J.D. Vance has been a breathless supporter of Neo-Nazis at home and abroad, promoting their fascist ideas and ideology to a jaw-dropping degree. But he has the fucking nerve to say someone tied to *socialists* doesn't belong in America. *You* are the un-American ideologue, you goose-stepping dork.

the right's crippling lack of ball knowledge strikes again

“Navatek’s CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts.”

Barry Melrose, former player, coach and famous ESPN analyst has died. He was 70 years old.

Just realized I used "at this point" twice, but you get it lol

At this point, Dems have to believe they need to get to 52 because if they get to 51, it seems almost guaranteed that John Fetterman will flip parties and swing control back to the GOP. This is just tired and pathetic at this point.

Revealed: Netanyahu Received an Explicit Warning Days Before Oct. 7. He Didn't Brief Israel's Security Chiefs www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Your annual reminder of what REALLY happened: Donald Trump went on WWOR Radio on 9/11/01--yes, that very day--to say that with the collapse of the Twin Towers, he now had the tallest building in New York. Which was a good preview of things to come, in that it was both disgusting and a lie.

An interesting message, but I earn $500,000 a year at a centrist think tank, and I think it would be better to focus our anger at a handful of teenage transgender athletes, plus a hefty dose of whining that Democrats are too "woke" without ever even defining the term.

It's been fascinating to see some of the sucker behavior from Pablo Torre's "peers" in journalism who clearly have not listened to a single episode of his show. At the end of each episode of Pablo Torre finds out, he shouts out the staff who helped put it together.

I imagine they already had the goods on the Clippers considering there were like 12 episodes of PTFO exposing all of this, but have to believe the Clippers seemingly trying to front-run things didn’t help!

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

It's what happens when the sources are all team executives blowing smoke up the reporters' asses and they have no critical mind to understand that the league office not leaking or cooperating with their reporting does not equal a weak case. They should burn their sources for burning them.

Obviously shout out @pablo.show and his entire team for their incredible investigative, Pulitzer Prize-winning work over the past year covering this Clippers story, but man what the hell was this ESPN report from 2 weeks ago?

This is a picture of two women from the Vernon Cadet Training Centre, which holds summer programming for 12-18 year olds to develop skills on the way to adulthood. Unlike Secretary Hegseth, they do not deserve contempt or ridicule.

traitors and rebels. Trump v US was as bad as January 6 and deserves the same response

And as soon as tomorrow, Judge Talwani may also issue a TRO against the new rule the USPS issued Friday night to implement the EO. In other words, this is a small win for the Trump administration, but *not* a ruling that fully clears the way for Trump to mess with mail-in ballots come November.

I feel like deluge of absolute garbage news/content on all fronts has reached a fever pitch today. Everything is just so dumb all the time now and it's almost guaranteed to get dumber each week.

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.
