Mamdani, Ossoff and El-Sayed have all been a breathe of fresh air to the stagnant Dem party They’re smart millennials; they don’t bullshit you. They’re direct, not afraid to call a spade a spade. They have compassion and empathy for people. They’re authentic and sincere This is what wins.

The annoying campaign ads at least come and go with election season Kalshi and DraftKings ads are here for eternity 24/7 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ossoff: "How can a sitting congressman vote to shut down a labor and delivery unit in his own district? Delivering mothers in Mike Collins's district now have to drive an hour to get to a labor and delivery unit while they're in labor while we already a maternal mortality crisis."

Ossoff: "Tonight, a united Georgia will hear the trial the Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists. And he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic child-like devotion to Donald Trump."

OSSOFF: Mike Collins is one of the most extreme members of Congress. He's a Trump puppet election denier. I want to hear if Mike still believes the 2020 election was stolen. What do you say Mike? COLLINS: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

It’s crazy data brokers are even a thing to begin with. What’s extra infuriating is that the average American’s data is worth close to $1 million over their lifetime. Other people that aren’t you get to cash in on that data and you can’t really do anything about it and you don’t get a cent.

If I choose to purchase something online or through an app, the single transaction should be the only information companies get in a just society. Instead we live in a techno-fascist oligarchy society

I hate living under fascist rule

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Republican governors across the country are suspended their state gas taxes until after midterms. That’s all you need to know about what they think of their constituents and their chances in the election

the truly crazy making part of all of this is that voter fraud EFFECTIVELY DOES NOT EXIST. you have a better chance of finding an actual leprechaun at the end of the rainbow than of finding evidence of voter fraud that influences an election

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This guy wanted to charge the ICE cop who blindly fired his gun into a house with a child inside, then lied to justify the shooting. DHS also tried to deport a witness, and publicly slandered the man who was shot. Trump's people blocked the prosecution, then fired the prosecutor for going public.

Reactionary centrist pundits: Democratic leaders need to drop the identity politics and focus on economic issues! Democratic leader: [does that] Reactionary centrist pundits:

If there’s a silver lining, and this is a massive “if,” as it relates to Flock cameras, it’s that it’s putting a spotlight on just how inept and corrupt cops are. Not catching the license plate is wrong or the hit-n-run car you pulled over is the wrong color and has no damage

These are the same dudes that share a headline to prove a point, not realizing the first 3 sentences completely contradicts their argument… they of course never bothered to read it. And so many stories of cops nefariously using flock to track ex’s and shit too

You could make a whole Black Mirror season from everything that’s happening right now in real time… and too many fucking people don’t realize or care

The "New York Times" article on the horrible antisemitic attack at Central Synagogue last night suggests without explicitly claiming links between the attack and Mamdani's anti-Netanyahu rhetoric... before acknowledging that the attacker actually hated Mamdani.

SCOOP for @ms.now w/ Akayla Gardner: Trump met with Spencer Pratt in LA this week, a White House official says Republicans have been floating Pratt as a future presidential contender after his relative success in the LA mayoral race. 👀

The acceptance of AIPAC $$ w/out shame by Dems helps give credibility to the “both sides suck and are corrupt” with the average voter which is a big factor in recent Dem loses IMO These same people won’t publicly say Israel is committing genocide in the same way maga won’t admit Trump lost 2020

Still more time off than he wants to give women for maternity leave.

JD Vance: "The president called me the first full day Alec was alive, the day he was born, and he says, 'You should take some time off.' And I said, 'Mr President, I've got a meeting with you tomorrow. And he said, 'Yeah. Take some time off. Like today.' Hahahahah!"

Honestly, at this point, Democrats should be thrilled with this -- Miller has set himself on fire and if the GOP wants to hold him close, so be it.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

If I were to sit down and write a Horror screenplay I think I’d do a dystopian world where people can bet on death and destruction. A world that financially incentivizes outcomes of the evil and corrupt… that’d be scary af…
