Ossoff: "At a rally earlier this week in Ohio, the president egged on supports who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing from this White House, it's their tireless commitment to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking."

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

To put this in perspective, the typical family's net worth of 200k is five million times as large as someone who has a net worth of less than a nickel

Elon Musk’s net worth of $1.1 trillion is five million times as large as that of the typical family. The median American household had a net worth of just under $200,000 in 2022, the year with the most recent data available from the Federal Reserve. nyti.ms/4aL8sNH

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Replying to @ariehkovler.com

We may have reached the situation I worried about but always considered to be the likely outcome even before this war began:

Sitting here in Jerusalem, the worst of all worlds for me personally could be Trump starting a warm, chickening out in the face of domestic opposition and the impact on markets, and leaving a smouldering but furious Iranian regime, perhaps with a new Ayatollah at the head, still fighting.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Trump says he’s justified in attacking Iran’s civilian infrastructure because the Iranian people support being bombed for the sake of regime change he claims has already occurred

ICYMI: Last night @jeremyfaust.bsky.social revealed that Drs. Makary and Prasad of the FDA have lied to all of us with their claims that COVID19 vaccines “killed 10 children”. The scientists that did the work found that there were ZERO deaths that they could be certain were caused by the vaccines.

insidemedicine.substack.comScoop: FDA vaccine chief’s memo cited 10 pediatric Covid-19 vaccine deaths—but the agency’s own analysis found 0–7.Dr. Vinay Prasad circulated a memo before FDA scientists finished their work. His conclusions overshot what the agency’s own analysts ultimately found.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence. You can do both.

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Tom Brady, the analyst, wasn’t that much better than the Kansas Chiefs, who were shellacked by the Philadelphia Eagles, our columnist writes. He still needs to fully grasp the concepts of being a successful broadcaster. nyti.ms/4aRY7hU

Every book they publish better have a mandatory disclaimer on the cover that informs potential buyers it was published using AI

Marco Rinaldi@marcorinaldi.bsky.social

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

Hello Blue Sky! For my very first post … I’ll say I loved this segment with @ryanjreilly.com while I anchored Meet The Press Now today. My hubby — another crazy Philly Eagles fan — was proud.

One of the many important things that happened this week is that I found an excuse to say “Go Birds!” on the digital airwaves of NBC News. Posting here since I’m pretty sure, as @ryanobles.bsky.social noted, that @yamiche.bsky.social’s Christmas surprise is now spoiled. 🦅 🏈 👔

Trump’s election means he won’t face trial in Georgia until 2029, if ever. But I think people are sleeping on the fact that during his presidency there could be televised trials of his co-defendants, with prosecutors presenting much of the same evidence they would have presented against Trump.

NEW: The Georgia Court of Appeals has canceled the Dec. 5 oral argument it previously scheduled to hear Trump’s appeal seeking to disqualify Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis. Argument is canceled “until further order of this court.”

Hello everyone. I am now on this platform for social media. I wrote a movie once, and now a book. I hope more people read the novel than saw the film. No one saw the film. That is all.
