Rumors? This is just blatant disinformation from @courierjournal.bsky.social

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

Mark Warner just voted to confirm another Trump nominee today. Specifically, he voted for Ryan McCormack, who was chief of staff for Rep. Scott Fitzgerald from Wisconsin. Fitzgerald voted against certifying Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Hey @golden.house.gov, you know what "undermines public safety" and trust? You funding the secret police kidnapping, beating, and killing people based on their skin color, or for merely witnessing ICE's lawlessness.

Mornin, @thehill.com

people should really ask florida democratic rep @repmoskowitz.bsky.social why he's backing a resolution to honor a man who called for joe biden to be killed www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

I hope this doesn’t mean the Epstein stuff goes away.

You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

Stunning charts show how disproportionately the Roberts Court favors the Trump regime. "This pattern exemplifies what scholars call 'autocratic legalism'—the systematic weaponization of legal institutions to consolidate power while maintaining the appearance of legal process."

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski stared me down for more than 10 seconds when I asked about the criticism she was receiving about the deal struck to get her vote on the OBBB.

Schiff has voted with Trump 32 times since January. He gets on TV to talk tough and then literally votes for Trump’s agenda.

Schiff literally just voted to advance Trump’s pick for Assistant Secretary of Defense. You keep talking about how corrupt Trump is and then voting for his agenda.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Hi, I'm the guy who wrote the book "Administrative Burdens" and it's just objectively untrue that no one will face "unnecessary burdens" b/c *non-citizens almost never vote! *About 20M citizens don't have access to citizenship documents SAVE solves a non-problem by burdening American citizens.

Remember when you convinced 9 other Democratic senators to betray the country and enable this like two weeks ago

This is egregiously unacceptable, @washingtonpost.com. Trump cannot do this. It's illegal. You know it! You say it! And yet, you *still* give him the headline. This is journalistic malpractice, with democracy hanging in the balance.

CALL FOR HIS RESIGNATION SWEET MOTHER OF GOD

I keep asking: Why does media and Congress treat Trump’s edicts like he can just wave them into reality? Why doesn’t NBC include anywhere in this piece that he CANNOT DO THIS without Congressional approval e.g. 2/3 support of the Senate, which he won’t get? THIS IS MANUFACTURING COMPLIANCE!

He already has the keys you nitwit, what the fuck are you going to do about it?!!?

You will shut down millions of Veterans care as they ZERO out the PACT ACT by cutting $23 BILLION in this dirty CR! @schumer.senate.gov we will hold you responsible for this and all democrats that vote for this.

Shocked to see @schatz.bsky.social on this list

So what you’re saying is that if the Republicans included a plan to set up firing squads to execute Trump’s enemies, you’d vote for it instead of shutting the government down.

People who don’t defend Article I don’t deserve to be in Congress.

If they are “confused” then it’s time to rethink the intellectual soundness of the nation’s top business leaders. I don’t think they’re confused.

Sen. Warner voted to confirm 5 of Trump’s 20 Cabinet picks, including Scott Bessent at Treasury.

I’m sorry, but repeating this framing without skepticism is collaborating with your source to mislead your readers. They have been working on humiliating Zelensky and catering to Putin since long before the inauguration. Nothing about this is a response; it’s the plan of an abuser and a charlatan.

Sen. Klobuchar voted to confirm 6 of 16 members of Trump’s cabinet, including Marco Rubio and John Ratcliffe

ahem, dude, elon musk is a racist eugenicist and vocally pro-nazi — and he’s still there

Hey, @nytimes.com, is the Department of Justice hounding the political critics of Elon Musk at the request of hardened neo-Nazis a story? Because I'm pretty sure it would be a five-alarm fire if Biden had done it

why only state department nominees

Hey um so how is this working out for you now?

The workers were emailed by a little boy with no legal authority who interns for the richest Nazi in the world. It is an absolutely insane development and the social copy doesn’t come close to conveying it.

The Democrats who voted to confirm Bessent who also happen to be on Bluesky: @corybooker.com @cantwell.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social

Schiff voted to confirm Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary, even after Trump issued the illegal order to freeze federal funding.

I will donate to anyone who primaries a Democrat voting to confirm RFK Jr. It’s so catastrophically dangerous that I’m sort of dumbfounded. As a scientist, this is as close as I’ve been to being a single issue voter. If you agree, let @whitehouse.senate.gov know.
