A governor's emails with Musk got called intimate and embarrassing, and it took his election opponent suing him and a judge's deadline to pry them loose. That is not a records dispute. That is the whole campaign ad.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

Afraid the unhinged racist rhetoric will work in Michigan. I hope not. El- Sayed is a smart guy with a good understanding of the health care system. We could certainly use his skill set in the Senate.

Vivek Ramaswamy put a registered sex offender who was sentenced to 8 years in prison for sexual contact with a minor in a new ad. It’s not surprising he would side with the “stepfather” who raped a 12-yr-old child. Vivek possesses the perfect amount of empathy and morality for Ohio MAGA: zero!

For Trump, who is heavily invested in the fossil fuels industry, windfall profits for that industry are a wonderful thing. For US consumers, they're a nightmare. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

James Talarico: We are still very much the underdogs. We're going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas who is backed by the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world — both the president and Elon Musk are backing Ken Paxton.

Ashley Hinson's speech warming up for Trump at his rally in Iowa ended TWO HOURS AGO. Trump is more than an hour late. His fans have been standing around forever with nothing to do.

The dude’s spiraling will get worse over the next week. Severe sleep deprivation plus sundowning plus stimulant abuse equals complete meltdown.

Something is off with Trump tonight. The gaffes, the glitches, the confusion are well beyond his usual. "They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady."

Watching morning news coverage of Trump's stop in NC. Not one mention of the unhinged comments I saw online. One little clip of him urging people to vote early.You would think it was just a normal get out the vote visit.

Marco sold his soul long ago. At least now he doesn't quote scripture to justify his BS.

Sure it did. Just like how the Trump administration sorta happened to stop sharing information with Ukraine-so they no longer get warnings about impending Russian ballistic missile attacks-and more innocent civilians die These bastards have morphed from callous thugs to full blown war criminals
