Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

This is "A.i." bullshit and if this account doesn't take it down within minutes, you should block the account.

Unfortunately this is AI.

Just became aware of the Plainview, NE Clown Museum. If anyone feels like getting immediately haunted by 8,000 clown dolls I know a place

We desperately need a journalism that understands that balance is useless if maintaining it requires sacrificing interrogation and observation; that what people *claim* must be mediated through the facts about what *is*; that its 1st mission is not to fairness but to accurately informing the public.

Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush and son of George H.W. Bush, has posted a political message on Facebook for the first time, saying he voted for James Talarico for US Senate over Ken Paxton. Bush says he isn't just opposing Paxton, he has come to admire Talarico.

"Hold on, let him speak, their opinions are important for us to hear." vs. "Hold on, let him speak, their opinions are fuckin' awful and I'm gonna dunk on 'em."

"The Republican polling firm Fabrizio Ward found Medicaid cuts to be one of the most 'resonating negatives' in recent surveys of rural Republicans. 'One out of two Republicans either are, have been or have a family member that is or has been on Medicaid'..." www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/ne...

We are all seeing this, right?

Okay, so @kathryntewson has discovered a set of linked, commonly controlled websites that are authoritatively giving false information on the difference between "attorney" and "lawyer," and are almost certainly AI generated. I want to talk about why AI gets this wrong.

But giving water to voters waiting in long lines to vote is illegal

New project for you all: I produced “Musk,” Alex Gibney’s extraordinary documentary, rolling out now.

Somebody please dox that piece of shit! #activism

Just thinking about this as the state harasses Ilhan Omar over 40 year old paperwork.

True, we generally don’t do that here. But what if… what if… (whispering in David Brooks’s ear) they *are* Nazis?

It would seem the quickest way to redistribute the wealth. Take the CEOs and technogarchs wealth and just divide it.

This is Meatball. He's going home for the very first time, with a human of his very own. 💕 "Share the post if you love animals."

The next Democratic president should appoint 700 Supreme Court justices, and during their first session, without warning, they should all swarm Bret Kavanaugh and eat him.

This poor kid. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹💔 www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

This is such a brilliant photo by Dan Winters for Time, and such a brilliant analysis of it on FB by @writtenbymeaghan, it had to be shared. Do take the few minutes necessary to read it. #ProudBlue

Why is 🇺🇸 media not reporting on this 128 day Albanian protest of Kushner and Ivanka’s insane corruption?

Biden: The MAGA wing, well gosh, listen, they’re, it’s, a bit of a flirt with fascism, no kidding around Media: Democratic rhetoric invites political violence Trump: The nuclear flames that burn every mongrel soul in San Diego will be a cleansing fire. Media: Trump makes his case in Nebraska

Jon Bauman is a very smart guy. And a real patriot. #SocialSecurityWorks

Putting aside the Biden age pile-on, it should be a bigger deal that Trump repeatedly falls asleep at seemingly every event and meeting when he's not speaking. Just in the abstract, away from who is in office, it's fucked up that the president of the United States can't keep his stupid eyes open.

Update on Pedro Mendoza Chávez: While he was in the hospital, ICE refused to let his wife see or speak to him, and an officer told her he had fallen. Pedro, 63, says agents kicked him to the ground. Instead of being in a hospital, he's at an ICE detention facility in Taylor, Texas.

"That’s why we’re pushing this right now because ballots are in the mail, and we want the people to know that vote-by-mail is safe."

He ought to be asked about this when he’s presented as a Democratic strategist.

Correct. We should lose the biblical foundation for marriage and gender. Those ancient religious rules have no business governing modern society. But we don’t need Adam and Eve, or any religion at all, to recognize the sanctity and value of human life.

Republican Governor Jim Pillen has been a champion of Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. But at least 20 of his family farms employed undocumented immigrants, according to a new investigation by the Flatwater Free Press and The New York Times. youtu.be/5RZgrR1_7Dc?...

“When God had made The Man, he made him out of stuff that sung all the time and glittered all over. Some angels got jealous and chopped him into millions of pieces, but still he glittered and hummed. So they beat him down to nothing but sparks but each little spark had a shine and a song.” 💜 eternal

Good segment on "Morning Joe" re my new book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Special guest star: Jonathan Lemire, who asked Trump the question in 2018 that led him to say he trusted Putin more than his own intelligence agencies. Check out HowRussiaWon.com

It's a primary feature of fascism, exhaustion.

I loved A.R. Moxon's first collection of essays, VERY FINE PEOPLE, so you should definitely check out his new one, FIGHTING IN THE DARK! His style reminds me of Adam Serwer. There's a great mixture of anger, insight, and reality-based hope.

The Trump-Epstein Memorial Bookmobile in Omaha today. Release ALL the files.

When Republicans talk about Mitch McConnell coming back, they mean from the dead.

If safety and fairness is your concern, excluding marginalized school children from school activities is neither fair nor does it promote safety. Exclusion isn’t what we should be about, and it’s not all that complicated. We ought to be better.
