Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

I want a blue wave that excludes every one of these craven, bigoted motherfuckers.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

We’re gonna have a first time would series winner from a small market a month before the owners lock the players out over the sport being unfair for small market teams. Bless their hearts!

oh Rob Manfred hates this World Seriesmatchup lmao ☠️

Bsky historians — can you recommend a good book or two about how the Great Awakenings gained in the US?

Is it just me, or is it odd that the identity of the judge who signed the warrant for the search of Ilhan Omar's home has not been revealed?

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This guy has to prove with timestamped security footage that confirm he was home sick for a week. Meanwhile Trump can make endless increasingly outrageous claims and the press just shrugs. What the fuck, man.

I've been saying to people - and thought I'd plant my flag on this - that the time after the democrats win next month is going to be an especially dangerous one for Trump's opponents of all kinds. He is going to *flip out.*

I’m at a small theater in Williamstoen MA, and there’s a pre-movie ad for a local “Abolitionist Herbal Healing” establishment.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

We don’t spend enough time talking about just how WEIRD all these people are. This is just an incredibly weird and insecure thing to say. Imagine any other SecDef ever being this weird and insecure?!

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

It's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.
