Do you know how fecal you hae to be to use for political gain a daughter's evidenced sexual abuse by her stepfather and subsequent estrangment from a mother who took her husband's side and lost custody of both her kids as a result? We do now. Come on down, Vivek, you utter piece of shit.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

I mean, what more reason do they need? Light this asshole up

Wrongly indicted, charges dropped, and now we learn prosecutors allegedly knew the Reflecting Pool renovation was failing and they charged David Hearn anyway. I hope he sues their asses off.

Does Senator Collins think Mainers are stupid? Enough of the bull. Mainers deserve answers. Our tax dollars aren’t bargaining chips for pay-to-play schemes.

Women across Maine begged Susan Collins not to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court because they knew Roe was at stake. She did it anyway. To this day, she says "I do not regret that vote." Well, we sure do.

16. Why bother to vet information when every allegation against the Democrats, no matter how unbelievable, is believed? He tracks the pattern going all the way back to Newt Gingrich in the 1980s. Bernstein suggested that the laziness is part of the deeper malignancy affecting the GOP.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

Let’s remind Hegseth of Casimir Pulaski’s example, in the spirit of 1776 that the Secretary touts. General Pulaski— the father of the American Calvary and hero of Savannah— was an intersex or trans Polish horseman who came to this country, saved George Washington’s life, and died for our Revolution.

A small framed man with a quirky mustache who was unwanted by other armies in Europe came to this nation and served with distinction. Military readiness is good and legitimate, but gratuitous attacks on people because they don’t fit some warrior ethos stereotype is self-defeating. And wrong.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

This is the trailer that all the major platforms refuse to run as a paid ad:

CARTOON OF THE DAY…

QUESTION: What’s going on with Susan Collins and the bribery scandal? But explain it to me like I’m five. ANSWER: Here you go 👇🏽

This is corruption of the highest order. Susan Collins delivered millions in taxpayer dollars for a corrupt donor bankrolling her campaign, and then Donald Trump helped her cover it up. No wonder she voted with him 96% of the time and has rubberstamped his agenda to hurt Maine.

NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

El Niño is breaking every existing record already, and it's got weeks to go before it's likely to hit a peak. We're going to see a warmer world than any humans before us this year billmckibben.substack.com/p/hold-my-wa...

I’m just confounded by how clueless and utterly immune to embarrassment you have to be to say this stuff out loud.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker. 

Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."

Question for Greenblatt’s ADL: What does it say about your politics if they are so indefensible you need a billionaire sex criminal to silence your critics? What does it say about you that you would cheer the aforementioned billionaire sex criminal as some kind of personal hero? Moral rot.

Yes and that's my litmus test of whether an Epstein reporter is legit. If they leave out mafia and Israeli operative Robert Maxwell, they're not legit. Also the Epstein story is old -- why'd they ignore it until now? Of course, Maxwell was the best friend and client of Blinken's step-dad. Awkward!

Two months ago, Johan Sebastián Guerrero was murdered by ICE in Biddeford. As I heard on Sunday in Biddeford, this senseless murder was felt deeply by this whole community. ICE needs to be eliminated, full stop.

Any time any anchor ever asks a Democrat about Hasan Piker, the correct response is “Piker isn’t running for anything. Republicans have a literal candidate supported by Mike Johnson who refers to kids as cum trophies. You’re asking the wrong questions.”

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Have you ever tried agreeing with a bully? How did it go? Did it make the bully nice and agreeable? The bully doesn’t go away when we don’t stand up to them; they just use the lack of friction to expand the margins of permission regarding abuse. To include you. www.the-reframe.com/soon-you-too...

The question that keeps occurring to me is this: If a group of people had taken office with the deliberate intention of destroying the global standing, democratic claims, credibility and power of the United States, what would they do differently? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At the moment we have no real idea how to scale up carbon removal--it's a hair on the mole of the ugly backside of the global hydrocarbon industry But we do know how to scale up solar panels and wind turbines and batteries. So that's our job billmckibben.substack.com/p/facts-on-t...

@swin24.bsky.social calling this exactly what it is—an ethnic cleansing

P.S.

Some congressional Democrats (or their staffers, I guess) follow me on here, so let me speak directly to them: The media isn't going to do this on their own. But if you make it an issue, they might just be shamed into forcing your GOP opponents into discussing the fat racist elephant in the room.

Hook this right into my veins.

WATCH: “Isn’t the problem your view of 🇺🇸 goes against the views of the founding fathers?” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social challenges Hegseth’s Christian Nationalist pastor Doug Wilson — who doesn’t think women should vote — on the idea 🇺🇸 is “a Christian nation” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/Dcwek8q...

I read an interesting post y'day (can't find it now of course 🥴) about how desecration is the word that best describes what he's doing. Anything sacred or beloved is a target for his hatred. I think that rings true. What a broken, sad, despicable, dangerous human. The end can't come soon enough.

Oh man. “Be joyful though you have considered all the facts” is a guiding aspiration for me.

Today, I started the day debate prepping with my team, then watched my daughter’s soccer game, went grocery shopping, watched my son’s football practice, and made us all dinner. But yeah, I’m totally a “radical lunatic.”

If a white person uses the term "woke" I realize that they are either a malicious asshole, maliciously complacent, or reflexively unthinking, and it's only a matter of time before they reveal which one it is. One good way to find out is to explain what "woke" actually means and note the reaction.
