🎯 Dean is right — the fact that every Dem gets grilled about things @hasandpiker said years ago but no Republican gets asked about the racism & antisemitism coming from their top donor Elon Musk all day every day gives the game away. @DanaBashCNN @jaketapper

Ansari: "The irony I want to point out is you have Trump speaking with the govt of Qatar and getting a multibillion jet. You have his son in law as well as his sons making billion dollar deals with the Saudis. But then here in the US, the way they talk about Muslim Americans & Arabs is disgusting."

The Army awarded an artillery shell project to General Dynamics in a rushed process without the typical vetting. The result: a fiasco in a Texas factory with robots in flames and half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds that yielded no usable shells. (Published August)

propublica.orgThe Costly Blunders in the Army’s $533 Million FiascoProPublica revealed how a rushed effort to arm Ukraine with artillery shells wasted half a billion dollars in taxpayer funding. Here are the biggest takeaways from that reporting.

Big trouble here for Scott Jennings. A $72.5 million defamation lawsuit is no small matter, especially when the allegations involve a manipulated video and a fabricated quote. This could get very ugly for him. It’s about time this sort of deception has consequences.

If you believe Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, you're the reason "DO NOT EAT" labels are put on soap. If you believe Donald Trump is going to give you a check for $5,000 if Republicans win, you're the reason irons have "NEVER IRON CLOTHES WHILE BEING WORN" warnings.

This seems a bit concerning. The Pentagon is seeking emergency authorization to deploy Wafermine — a fast-dissolving, sublingual ketamine wafer — as a non-opioid battlefield painkiller for our troops. The manufacturer is pursuing an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA.

I'm not a politician of any kind, but if the Democrats can't win this Texas senate seat I don't know what statewide race they're going to win. Paxton is almost designed in a lab to be offensive to every possible constituency other than the ultra-base.

MAGA is big mad over President Obama saying Trump's White House is "looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory" - and Fox News is all over it. This is a big item for them while the January 6 insurrection was a non-story and the current president being a pedophile is... meh.

You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

Sadly, if this allegation is true, it wouldn’t be the first time Donald Trump was found to have raped a woman “the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he forcibly penetrated her digitally-in other words, that Mr Trump in fact did rape Ms Carroll”
