Wayne Waco Did Nothing Wrong

If you want to know how complete the right-wing capture of the public narrative is: people were shocked a dozen years ago at birtherism being pointed at Obama. Yesterday, Trumpists said AES was not an American *even though he has a birth certificate* — and none of those outlets even made it news.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

"arabs have contributed nothing to the arts and sciences" is such a funny fucking thing for a bog ape wearing a little suit to say

Reminder that Marissa Mayer had a personal daycare for her kid constructed next to her office at Yahoo while simultaneously cutting childcare benefits for every other employee. Just thought I'd mention that.

We are on day three of @karenvaites.bsky.social maintaining radio silence in the face of my reporting on activities at Alpha School that deprived children of their potbelly life saving medical devices. Cat has acquired a tongue it seems.

Organized sports are ritual warfare. Breaking some cops’ ankles feels unlikely to *checks notes* anger the left.

This headline structure is literally the joke format we use to make fun of people like this

Zionism 101: Nazism makes Jews safe

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

the entire american/western journalist class does a real 'thin blue line' kind of bullshit that makes me lose respect for even the best of them when they will be like 'okay but you have to take taylor lorenz seriously' or 'actually glenn greenwald does some good reporting.'

I didn’t say a fucking thing about voting. But heartless assholes like you just can’t help yourselves - every cruelty is another reason to vote-scold people who could be your allies, even as you tell those allies their lives aren’t worth shit. You don’t give a shit about my daughter. So piss off.

Has to be said that a great thing about Lula is he is a champion grade hater

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.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

Bay of Pigs 2 trailer just dropped

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.

Dr Drew sucks shit.

Excellent work, no notes. Hands do in fact, have 6 fingers.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

NEW: Over the past few days, there had been a growing call inside CBS News - even among some executives - for Jan Crawford to be suspended or even fired for her Abdul El-Sayed tweet. In the end, it was decided that the Bari Weiss fave would face no punishment. zeteo.com/p/amanpours-...

This is standard October Surprise stuff. Drop something that sounds sensational, like "Candidate's own mom says she's a liar!" and just count on the fact that by the time enough people find out the rest of the story, the election's already come & gone.

This is exactly what vouchers are designed to do. Never forget- scratch a book banner, find a legislator who's working with the anti-public education dark money crowd. Bc it's hard to sell: I don't believe poor ppl deserve an education. But it's easy to sell: public schools are grooming your kids.

Do you know how bad the abuse has to be for a judge to remove kids from their birth mother? Just saw Amy Acton’s CNN interview about that Ramaswamy ad and , listen, I lived in NC through the Willie Horton ad era. I’m not precious. This is so disgusting that I wish I believed in hell. I really do.

A scoop from me: CBS-owned local stations' election coverage will be sponsored by DraftKings, a deal that has stirred concern inside the company. www.status.news/p/cbs-draftk...

Vance is ruled by a burning passion to never ever get the faintest whiff of poverty. Some people work really hard to avoid that. Some people become…this.

Scoop from @brettlogiurato.bsky.social: CBS has sold its local election night coverage to DraftKings, stirring more controversy inside the David Ellison-owned company. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-draftk...

Police Brutality Against Utah Data Center Protesters

You can't afford a full tank of gas but Mike Rogers is chartering private planes and repairing his campaign's BMW. Summer's over so yachting turns to jetting I guess! Mike Rogers is just looking to go through the revolving door of politics to make another $14M.

Deplorable.

I'm out here sweating in the theory mines, discussing gender and race and tech, and these chucklefucks just tweet it out.

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

Vivek Ramaswamy has not only confirmed the commercial with Amy Acton's estranged mother was made by his campaign, Axios also reports he's now spending $4 million to air it.

As a doctor, I know a politician should never come between a woman and her medical care.

The best way to celebrate stewardship during NC Oyster Month and finish a good day in eastern NC — oysters, shrimp, and scallops at Sunnyside Oyster Bar in Williamston. Life in NC is good.

It must be infuriating to coordinate a full court press of manufactured panic about cutting off parents across multiple publications only for Vivek Ramaswamy of all people to blow it up by loudly reminding everyone why it happens.
