Bet you thought this was some kind of gotcha, but you just look like an idiot, @c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Me: "It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim. We are helping our actual enemies" www.aei.org/foreign-and-...

What an absolute honor coming from one of the best writers we have working today! I got this for my Kindle last week but I haven't opened it on my queue! Every book from SA Cosby has been a chance to be entertained, but as importantly to think, learn, and grow. You humble me and I thank you.
@fabiannicieza.bsky.social is my favorite comic book writer of all time. His take on Nomad revolutionized the way we tell comic stories. And then he started writing novels and he is blowing that away too. He showed me the story is the things... No matter where its told Thanks Hermano

Can’t wait to start reading this at lunch today!

When people (read: me) say the two parties are the same, this is what we’re talking about The Dem establishment would rather lose the House than have to work for working class and poor people in this country www.mediaite.com/online/james...

Again, if you're a voter in Tacoma or Pierce County, I recorded an Audio Voters' Guide for the upcoming elections covering Statewide Initiatives, State Supreme Court races, County Charter amendments, and local measures. Tap in and get your ballots in early. open.spotify.com/episode/6z99...

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.

Hey Matt, maybe no one has told you this, but: Economics is not a science and most research in economics is not scientific.
I'll be very explicit here - I think i am basically the only person here who doesn't think this is a game. Poverty policy is important! It's important to actually read research about poverty and make sure the insights are incorporated into policy.

Democrats and white liberals constantly treat Southern Black voters fighting and overcoming voter suppression as some sort of Aaron Sorkin-esque inspiration porn
This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

$2,000,000 divided by 45 is about $44,000. So the $30k that isn’t life changing is roughly a year’s salary Matt is a fucking idiot and is not working class
I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.
Today’s @nytimes.com The Daily is a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social fever dream: Perhaps no American feels the domestic effects of the war, tariffs and inflation more than the Iowa farmer. … We follow Caleb Renner, a young farmer in Iowa, as he talks about how he may turn on the GOP for the first time.
Uh…because they don’t deserve any credit! They voted for this criminal THREE FUCKING TIMES. They don’t get a trophy for defecting now that he’s doing everything they wanted him to do
Cenk Uygur: "And I'll tell you, and I'll get heat from the left for saying this, but I think those three-time Trump voters that have defected from him now have not gotten anywhere near the credit that they deserve."
I don’t understand why anyone would willingly participate with this conglomerate of cesspools
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

I don’t think it makes sense for a U.S. national broadcast news network to make decisions about what to air based on the foreign editor’s focus group of Israelis.
This is an actual reason why Bari Weiss’ CBS foreign editor told staff that they could not include reporting on Netanyahu receiving advance warning of a Hamas attack before Oct 7. The astonishing tirade in @status.news www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

So they would do what you SHOULD be doing? Holding criminals accountable is part of Johnson’s job, but he has decided to participate in their crimes instead.
Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "If this group took over, they would turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'd spend every day investigating the president, the first family, the cabinet, donors to the party, leaders of business ... "

Just thinking about this as the state harasses Ilhan Omar over 40 year old paperwork.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.
Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Have you heard the one about the 19th century dildo hoarder and how he might ban abortion nationwide from the grave? Please subscribe to my micro legal podcast, Baby Boom! Lawyered. It's short, punchy, and informative, according to a listener on here. And I thank you in advance.
Anthony Comstock: Morality crusader. Professional hater. Dildo hoarder. He collected porn, sex toys, and books. And he showed them to Congress to sell lawmakers on the Comstock Act, an 1873 law which conservatives could use to ban abortion nationwide. New Baby Boom! Lawyered Out now.
