They capitulate to the party that’s against stem cell research and gender affirming care for kids, but they want to hack children’s brains with chips before the age of 7 because that’s when they’re the most pliable. Makes sense.

A couple days ago, Mike Johnson mocked Thomas Massie for suggesting House leadership could keep Congress out to avoid the new Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the idea “stupid” and “nonsensical.” Now he has canceled the final two weeks of September.

the press has gotten completely habituated to the ugly and hateful behavior of the people in this government so i will be surprised if anyone ever asks hegseth why he thinks it is appropriate to mock children for wanting to learn, grow and maybe serve their country

Among other things, Elon Musk now makes clear his belief that women must be disenfranchised. And he's now the sole source funder of the Texas GOP. Shouldn't Texas GOP candidates who are running with his money be asked about this?

Dr. Vin Gupta, an actual health expert, just dismantled RFK Jr.’s entire health agenda piece by piece. Medicaid cuts. NIH trials canceled. Environmental protections gutted. "Lots of marketing, little substance" on food policy.

I went to West Point for two years and - by far - it was a better education than I got from two years at Penn. No more, it seems.

"We watched it on TV. And it's like, 'That's our son. That's Alex. And they killed him' ... trying to help someone" -- Alex Pretti's dad

Traveling from Texas to Cali is revelatory just because the contrast is so obvious. You know what California doesn’t do? Put big ol’ California flags all over because it doesn’t need to insist on itself.

oh look, dems can easily leverage messaging to hijack, create, or redirect entire newscycles by exploiting the infotainment media's obsession with scaled ad engagement, who could have possibly imagined such a thing

I think part of the pundit crack-up has been that they missed the big call of their lifetimes about which was the bigger threat to America: wokeness or authoritarianism. And rather than admitting that, they are doubling down on wokeness, while ignoring an authoritarianism that does not threaten them

David Crowley: "I especially want to thank Rep. Francesca Hong. Her campaign reminded people across Wisconsin that there are no long shots when it comes to believing in a better future and fighting to expand opportunities to every family ... the real opponent has always been Tom Tiffany."

What's funny is that when I call on the NYT to adopt a pro-democracy, pro-truth agenda, they say: We don't do agendas here.

This.

They always "forget" to name a single factory this is being "built so fast."

It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.

This should be another aspect of immediate journalistic inquiry: What has happened to other world leaders who have suffered from similar psychiatric issues in their decompensating end stages? How did that turn out for themselves and the people they govern?

They aren't depleted, but it's Biden's fault for them being depleted.

Absolutely heartbreaking letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after his murder by ICE agents. How is it possible that we still haven’t seen even a hint of justice for such a heinous crime?

i think this is really important point — if you take the arguments for capitalism at face value (you shouldnt but thats a whole other discussion) what we have right now is distinctly not that

And the fraudsters (we know them), who say they are looking for fraud, insist fraud only happens in blue states so they can try to extort those states while real, convicted fraudsters get pardons from President Fraudster.

The corrupt Trump crime family.

The treasury just ended plans to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill but they’re currently printing Trump’s face on a $1 gold coin while he’s still alive. All racist fascists go to Hell.

ICYMI: We rarely get to compare DIRECTLY how the media covers Trump vs other people, but last week he made precisely the same gaffe as Biden, in the same meeting with the same person. How come nobody cared?

Jon Ossoff just responded to reports that Trump plans to declare him an “illegitimate” senator because of nonexistent voter fraud. Every word of this is spot on. Spread it everywhere and support Ossoff!!!

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

Ken Paxton hanging out with his mistress, Tracy Duhon, a Christian influencer, grief counselor, and mother of seven kids. Together, they own a two-million-dollar secret property, and his wife is just hearing about this along with the rest of us. Not the first time he's cheated biblically. 💀
