This is the Social Security Election. Senators who get elected this fall will decide the future of Social Security. REMINDER: Top Republicans are calling Social Security a “Ponzi scheme” and a “scam.”

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

"Trump's critics claim he’s blowing the midterms. But that’s a fundamental misunderstanding of his psychology. He is laser focused on the midterms— because the Save America Act would help him rig them. He doesn’t want to earn votes... he wants to rig the rules before a single vote is even cast."

Disgusting decision by the majority. And while the world is here watching.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

While we might speculate about what Trump did with Epstein, we know what a jury found he did to E Jean Carroll As the judge put it, “based on all of the evidence at trial..the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he..in fact did ‘rape’ Ms Carroll”

As the Supreme Court hears arguments in a case that could stall lawsuits against Roundup's role in causing cancer, we have a 3-part series from @exposedbycmd.bsky.social on Bayer/Monsanto's drive for immunity from Roundup liability. First, on the overall lobbying, PR, & legal campaign:

A top national security official resigns and confirms that Iran posed no imminent threat. Good riddance to Joe Kent, a disgraceful white supremacist, but that's a major public admission that there was NO justification for this war.
