Who would do something like that...

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

Remains possibly the worst spokesperson for anything, at any time

"In a series of interviews with Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee, Beatrice Keul said Trump raped her that year in 'brutal' fashion in a hotel room at Trump’s Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City after the pair spent time with Jeffrey Epstein ..."

It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Babe, wake up. New Trump rape allegation just dropped. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Absolutely 💯 Agree…..

WIFE: *watching a documentary about foraging* This guy is brilliant at finding mushrooms ME: He has a strong morel compass Sharon HER: Get out!

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

Might fuck around and give a shit about the World Series, I dunno.

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?

National security threat.

Brazil election Sunday, Israel election Tuesday, US midterms the Tuesday after that. So much in a holding pattern until those resolve.

🗳️ Stella Parton (Dolly’s Sister) is among the Tennesseans reporting voting machines tried to flip her @jerrigreen4tn.bsky.social vote to Marsha Blackburn🤔😕 www.instagram.com/p/DewwVI9ERq...

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Don’t look away from how shocking this is. Yes, unsurprising. Still shocking.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

This is the future that Tech Bros and the Right want. With enough money and 'compute' you can make voters believe anything (or stop believing they CAN believe anything).

The media refuses to see "straight white Christian conservative man" as an identity. They're just "normal," see. *Other* people have identity politics.

100% — producing a highly-educated cohort of knowledge workers has overall been a disaster for conservatives and they are trying to reorient the American economy away from it bsky.app/profile/jame...

This is why conservatives love school shootings: it scares middle class parents into private schools, leaving public schools to "die on the vine" and helps direct moeny away from teachers and to the school security consultant industry, a jobs program for shithead ex-cops to make schools like prisons

Yes. The conservative scheme for education is a three-way split: high-priced academies for the children of the wealthy, religious instruction to brainwash the middle class, and a rump of prison-like public schools to discipline the lower class into obedience.

I'm beginning to think the Bari Weiss person might not be very good at her job, either the one where she is meant to be head of a news organization, or the one where she is meant to be a right-wing propagandist in a news organization

the ADHD urge to procrastinate by obsessively tinkering with some unimportant subtask that's only quasi-related to what you were originally trying to do

Again, the scandalous thing about Elon Musk spending $276 million on the 2026 midterms is NOT how *much* money it is. The scandal is how *little* money this is *to him.* Compared to his net worth, this is roughly equal to the median American my age spending $40.

HERE IS YOUR CAMPAIGN SLOGAN, competitive Senate races.

I'VE NEVER EVEN HAD AVOCADO TOAST AND I STILL DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING MONEY

Not at all different from what’s happening in the U.S.

“.. Rarely has an individual donor been effectively tied to such a large commitment for a single candidate.” @nytimes.com #TXsen www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

any political coverage citing Drazan’s thoughts and prayers response to the shooting ought to mention she literally organized republican legislative walkouts to stymie multiple gun control bills

I'm becoming more and more convinced that antitrust is BY FAR the most important issue of our time. One might think it's fascism, but why do you think the most powerful corporate players threw all their weight behind Trump 2024? The FTC was finally doing real antitrust work again under Biden.

Millennials are now becoming the middle aged, relatively higher-earning demographic the media & institutional politics is used to catering to, and they have no idea how to handle it because we largely still want the things for society that we wanted when we were 20

Gotta make room for the members of this corrupt administration.

Musk unilaterally shut off a defensive capability just as Russia attacked power plants with winter approaching I don't know why anyone trusted him before, but certainly nobody can afford an Elon Musk dependency after this
