Every media outlet should be leading with headlines like this. Your cowardice and complicity is showing @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @bloomberg.com.

After President Donald Trump told attendees at the Republican midterm convention Thursday night that "we want honesty in our elections," he led them in a pledge to "cheat like hell" and "go out and vote" in the midterm elections. https://to.pbs.org/4yTjfzl

I’ve decided that the putty knife makeup used by Trumpers is a symptom of a moral rot so powerful that it’s manifesting physically. Trump’s hand sores are likely from injections of formaldehyde.

This! If democracy is to survive, we have to play the GOP’s game until they cry uncle and agree government reports to the people and not vice versa. If we don’t invoke the nuclear option, fascism will roll over us all. Driving the middle - Schumer and Jeffries - to agree will also be a big lift.

AOC on how Democrats should respond to SCOTUS weakening VRA: “And so if Republicans are going to redraw North Carolina, if they're going to redraw Texas, if they're going to redraw and gerrymander every one of their states, then unfortunately, we have to provide balance to that”

Meanwhile @apnews.com is sane washing the FBI, concluding there wasn’t enough evidence of a trafficking ring to investigate further. AP reaches this conclusion on 1/2 the files released. They are officially State propaganda.

🚨🚨🚨 HOLY SHIT: This powerful PSA from the Epstein Survivors will air during the #SuperBowl

Schumer and the moderates are traitors to the American people. Sure, the GOP is worse, but selling us out is selling us out.

Wow, the GOP wanted a 3-month CR. They really must be feeling the heat if they caved to Schumer’s 2-week demand.

Importantly, yes oil companies lost assets, but that doesn’t mean they lost money. Oil companies add a “risk premium” when they decide to do business in politically unstable countries to ensure they still make a profit. We literally ran this exercise in my MBA program.

Trump is lying about Venezuela because of course he is. Anytime he opens his mouth out comes horse shit. 🗣️💩

Because Apple Music seems incapable of tracking listening history across devices, here's my list of what I *think* I listened to most this year. #metalsky

These historic times threaten our security and way of life. Time to reflect on family, friends, and community. I am fortunate to have a deep well of support that inspires me to fight when I can and nurtures me when I can't. Happy Thanksgiving! Also, imperialists, take a long walk off a short cliff.

AWS outages cripple business across the globe. What happens when one of the 5 winners of the AI war goes down - and there are no humans to manually fill in? #AI #bubble #catastrophe
