Help me get the word "kakistocrat" into dictionaries by getting it into common usage, e.g., by writing "RFK Jr. is a kakistocrat." I coined this word b/c there is currently not one for an administrative official in a kakistocracy. Read more here: www.merriam-webster.com/help/faq-wor...

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

Please help me out with this. When you have that much money, why would paying some percentage in taxes matter to them?

Steven T. Dennis@steventdennis.bsky.social

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

This is great! I want teachers of every congressional Republican to publicly lambast their former students' attacks on education. That would be powerful.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

TRUMP: And I am taking a 10 percent cut! I think I deserve, don't you think I deserve it?

Trump: "While oil prices are temporarily high ... the United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars"

The work of the Wagner Group/Africa Corps lives on. Will Donald do anything to counter Russian influence in Africa? That was a rhetorical question.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com

Russia is stepping up the number of Africans it recruits to counter a personnel shortage in its military and is targeting some of the continent’s most dysfunctional states for manpower. Read more: bloom.bg/4AeYSxd 📷: AFP/Getty Images

ProPublica does such great investigative reporting.

NEW: Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white. As state senator, he repeatedly used his power to supersede local officials — and the will of the city’s voters. with @mlk50.com

GOLDMAN: “.. we are starting to see clearer signs that the AI impact is spreading beyond the technology sector. .. the share of US firms that have adopted AI in regular business functions now shows a statistically significant negative correlation with employment growth ..”

This is further confirmation that mass deportations, election rigging, and screwing with the 2030 census are all part of the MAGA movement to stave off the white population's loss of majority status as long as possible and establish permanent white-minority rule.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

This partly answers my question.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

Electing Bolsonaro as president of Brazil was a huge project for the Trump administration towards which large resources were mustered, including US diplomatic and consular staff. This constitutes interference in the internal affairs of Brazil. But Trump doesn't care. www.reuters.com/world/us/ins...

This is how you do it, Americans! Be like Hungarians. Be like Serbian students.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

Have you given any thought as to why they might do that? It seems you are saying they have grounds to do so, and other juries would convict him. He's already a convicted felon. Are you feeling warm about any crimes you have committed?

News to Remember@moments2remember.link

Fingers crossed 🤞 ✔️💙

Trump proceeded to turn to Islamophobic attacks to refer to El-Sayed, writing, “Now he’s campaigning for a Muslim Brotherhood Jihadist,who hates Jews and Blacks and AMERICANS and TRUMP, and he is going to lose, also. He’s a Fake Doctor, who runs what is considered to be the WORST CLINIC IN AMERICA.”

Laura Ingraham was outraged that Sen. Elissa Slotkin implied that Trump might not leave office when his term is over or that he might pull some shenanigans during or after the midterm elections. I've added some footage from Jan. 6th that Ingraham seemed to forget about.

Remember, too, that these are Trump's people.

Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Senate Republicans, Todd Blanche and the rest of Trump's Cabinet of kakistocrats (see my pinned post), criminals, and kleptocrats, are your legacy.

The Justice Department represents the United States of America, not the president. That’s what White House counsel is for.

Trump's statements about the Alaska senate races this week all add up to suggestions that the Alaska voters are too stupid to make selections for the senate, so he should make the choices for them... and that includes removing Alaska's other senator, too. An accurate summary of Trump on democracy.

So many counties I love inhabited by people who consistently vote against their own interests and inhabit landscapes that have been infected by the Trump fungus.

Except in areas in which deer outnumber people 10:1, small donor support all across the US is flowing into Democratic coffers, not Republican. And this is generally a harbinger of how the people will vote.

If anyone sees this and still supports this demented, deranged, idiot, then they suffer from the only TDS in existence, which is the deranged people who support this deranged man.

Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

This is peak MAGA propaganda.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

"Wow," is all I have to say.

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

Senator Grassley, I am keeping a list of things the Senate Trump Protection Committee you chair should be investigating.

Ah, how refreshing to hear a president who could speak in standard English.

Barack Obama is back on the campaign trail, and he just TORCHED Pete Hegseth. Obama pointed out what we already know: these are not serious people. While Hegseth obsesses over jawlines, testosterone levels, and livestreamed executions, our troops are fighting a war nobody asked for.
