The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Kinda tired of hearing that everything this senile illiterate does is 12-D chess.
President Donald Trump may have a perverse political reason to see Republicans wiped out in the midterms, a move that could transform his presidency, according to a new analysis arguing that his appetite for confrontation could outweigh his party's congressional power.

One can also hope that the days of mamby-pamby go along and get along hesitant and selective and non-boat-rocking establishment Dems’ opposition that have been the hallmark of Jeffries’s leadership are also coming to an end.
Jeffries: The days of the unfettered Trump crime spree are coming to an end. The American people have had enough. They’ve seen the unprecedented corruption unleashed on the American people, and they know that there’s a cost to corruption.

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is just a fucking carjacking. How the hell was he supposed to know it was a state sponsored carjacking. what the fuck are we doing here.
The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We had to put him to a more secure facility outside of New York because we wanted to make sure he was highly secured REPORTER: Where is he? MULLIN: That I won't release

The crimes continue! These prosecutors simply love lying to and withholding evidence from this judge, who told them they will face contempt charges if they keep doing this. I actually don’t believe she’s going to stand for this anymore. They’re clearly hiding something truly insidious.
Good morning. Federal prosecutors in Chicago filed partially redacted documents overnight in the "Broadview Six" case. The redactions appear to include the signature block (including the name) of one of the attorneys representing the United States government:

The Trump family runs the government, and the government pays the Trump family. This is not a coincidence – it's deep corruption that never would have been tolerated before a convicted felon took over the White House. Vote against all Republicans.

who knows if jackson can win this thing but i am glad that he is making clear that susan collins's whole scam is to do everything she can to make life worse for mainers and then take credit for mitigating it in the slightest way possible
Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”
It's absolutely bonkers to me that this image led directly to this tweet.

good review and also, there is still something to be written about Sarah Palin as a key figure in creating the political space that trump seized just a few years later.
www.liberalcurrents.com/you-cant-bui... In the spirit of intramural rigor (as in, we are on the same side), I wrote a review of Sarah Longwell’s highly engaging but at times flawed new book on how to build an anti-MAGA coalition.

The New York Times has a choice of whether to cover Trumpism as A) an amusing and colorful example of the oddity of American politics, or B) an existential threat to the future of everyone you know and love. Over and over, they choose A. They trivialize themselves.
In excusable, nostalgia drenched coverage in lieu of exacting account of mentally unstable rants. This is truly reprehensible non-journalism. See: www.contrariannews.org/p/you-can-he...
