ladies and gentlemen...we got him

vivek's hairstyle kind of looks like dessert at the cheesecake factory

Republican Shellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott "dangerous" for kids, actually pleaded guilty to endangering kids herself after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

Broadening recognition of a shared global struggle for human rights and dignity is indeed fatal for Yglesias's worldview

that just sounds like a coup with extra steps

the DOJ is basically acting as if the president’s delusions are true

Thirty years ago I was on a high-volume high-aggro mailing list, and when someone lost it like this the tradition was for someone to take the text of the message, alphabetize it, paste it into a reply, and say “these words didn’t appear to be in any particular order so I alphabetized them for you”

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

for too long people have fallen over themselves to argue that while Musk's companies may break laws, harm workers and torture animals, and though he may use the proceeds to persecute the most vulnerable in our society, the products are actually very good... and no, that's just not true long-term!

the most moderate, apolitical and non-controversial opinion in Elon Musk is that everything he sells is too good to be true, and will either fall apart and be expensive to fix, or will be clawed back and resold to you for more money

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

I like how Vivek is saying attacks on The Ad are politically motivated because yes ofc what else would they be

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

Finally took an actual look at that new Tesla "Roadster" and holy shit that thing is ass

let me get this right, Tesla wants to put a reverse Oceangate sub disaster next to a select group of the richest idiots and Elon Musk stans alive... and you're booing?

Did he think this was a private message or something?

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

things are heating up in the eMudhra bullshit today imagine going "woe is me everyone is watching" like no shit bro you fucked up the Internet

In his world, there is no such thing as updating priors. What the polls once showed got locked in his brain and apparently they can never, ever change, and everyone needs to work around that reality, because reality can never change (even as it has).

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

hmmmm...not sure one person giving half a billion dollars to one party is a great sign of a healthy political system just not quite on board with that

Jail jail jail jail jail

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

It has come to my attention that many people are unaware that the person who figured out that the private key was 4 was a Something Awful forums goon: forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.p...

Voters who Googled how to donate to Talarico got an AI answer that led them to give to a different senator. A network of fake news websites seeded messaging about state & local candidates that AI answers picked up on. My story on how the AI midterms are going: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

getting tired of watching people die for an Elon Musk scam

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

he really did say that shit

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

ironically, a program seemingly designed to just give money to the regime's friends and allies is textbook fraud
