The prediction market has hired a former FBI official to make sure political insiders don't use the platform for profit from confidential election information. n.pr/47N8Yci

Our election research team put out an article today explaining how the prediction markets (e.g. Kalshi, Polymarket) — and social media posts featuring visualizations from those platforms — may feed election rumors & conspiracy theories around the U.S. midterms: uwcip.substack.com/p/what-to-kn...

From the Dems House Judiciary report:

Aleksander Nilaj, pillar of the community, has been detained at Delaney Hall. Community leaders, business owners, and elected officials have called for his release.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

How is People’s magazine doing better coverage than most legacy media? people.com/former-miss-...

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

I have genuinely lost count of the number of rape and sexual assault allegations that have been made against the president. people.com/former-miss-...

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

Why is the modern GOP struggling with a Nazi problem? John Oliver lays out the case in a simple, powerful, hilarious way, connecting the inability of today's Republicans to denounce white supremacy to a long tradition inside the party. WATCH: https://loom.ly/y1gqvds

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

While “police kidnap de blasio’s daughter and issue veiled threat demanding mayor authorize specific tactics” blip in the press! NYPD "Adams's protective detail kidnapped an Italian crypto investor and brought him to gangsters who sexually tortured him for his password" "forced him to smoke crack"

Just going to repost because sometimes it's better to show than tell... and the right words to describe this odious, idiotic, overbaked asshole escape me at the moment.

Important piece: Republicans already strip-mined their donor base, and now are deeply dependent on billionaires. Unless Dems change, they will go the same route, or become electorally uncompetitive.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

A sitting US President openly accused of rape (again) and it's not even top news. And People magazine again doing better reporting than... the rest of US media? Also: shut up Atlantic. What happened to you?

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

Watching @lastweektonight.com this morning about the Republican Nazi problem and I am wondering why the Dems keep talking about Hasan Piker. At some point, they will learn how to drive conversations instead of just reacting to bad faith framing, right?

Days after AIPAC announced it would stop endorsing candidates and direct contributions, our reporting shows it was already moving its spending out of sight. Its super PAC has sent $13.1M to other groups this cycle, 3x 2024, so the ads never carry AIPAC’s name.

Trump Accounts would allow corporations or their owners to make donations by zip code. So, for example, a company trying to set up a data center could give money to families in that region. This is the logic of the bribe state which Trump has enabled and supports. bsky.app/profile/atru...

has mmfa or someone like that compiled a comparison of airtime and front page headlines given to hunter biden vs jared kushner, given that kushner's alleged corruption is about 1000x larger, you would expect it to receive more coverage than Hunter's, right?

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

You deserve politicians that aren't bought off by corporations. You deserve better than a war that we're fighting aimlessly that raises your gas and grocery prices. You deserve to look your kids in the eye and know that their country's going to be better for them.

This is at least the second time he's done this. When we have a sane president again, Starlink must be nationalized.

"I don’t see what’s wrong with asking the followers of Islam to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s important for the public to know where non-Christians stand on every organization that has ever existed in a Muslim-majority country and every person with the name 'Mohammed.'" buff.ly/oFYteni

The man who asked the question is a literal white nationalist operative who is suggesting El-Sayed is a terrorist and these fucking twerps are like “He came off a little smug”

We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C. This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny: Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn. THREAD 👇

Even in regular times, fighter jet flyovers at football games were weird. Now it's a reminder that the people we elected are losing an optional war, diesel is $7/gallon, measles are back & everything costs more. They distract us by setting our money on fire for a 10 sec spectacle. Don't fall for it.

NEW: Yeah, not good

You should go see it despite this weirdo. It's a wild ride and deserves your attention.

Professional Republicans hate us.

Christopher Columbus was never actually in what is considered the United States today. He brought disease, genocide, enslavement, and rape to the Caribbean though, so there's that.

Was just on Threads and this was my "For you" algorithm when I posted a comment debunking the story. Say what you will about BlueSky being a bubble, but its not designed to enrage and deceive its users

The charges Trump's DOJ brought against me are baseless and dangerous—not just to me, but to anyone who dares to speak out against this admin’s lies. I’m in Congress to serve my district and home. I will not be intimidated out of doing the work my constituents trusted me to do.
