CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

UNC admissions used AI for several years as a first check on the quality of student writing. Now that students are also using AI, they can't do that any longer.

Elon Musk has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has spent in his entire lifetime.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

@mikedecillis.bsky.social is running for Congress in NY-11 against the reprehensible MAGA tool Malliotakis. I've met him and heard him speak several times, and the dude hates fascism! He could knock out NYC's only R Congressperson! Let's help him!!! www.decillisforcongress.com

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

Around 175 House Dems just called on Trump's DOJ and DHS to end "weaponization of law enforcement" against Rep Ilhan Omar. The letter is signed by numerous ranking committee Dems, showing depth of support for Omar in leadership and signaling how Dem House will act. newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

@brianbeutler.bsky.social has been making this case for months. Too many Dem leaders still don’t get it. Say it loud: we’re going after the corruption. You won’t get away with abuse of laws and Constitution. Trump will not be king. Not saying it is a mistake. open.substack.com/pub/brianbeu...

“Can the president then offer on eBay to sell them, all of our national security secrets to the highest bidder?” This question was posed during our Presidential Records Act appeal hearing. DOJ's answer? Yes. More in the Classifieds.

Encouraging sign that Democrats will play hardball if they win the midterms.

If she wins a full term in November, Fire Thunder would join a growing number of Indigenous women successfully seeking higher office across the country. In Montana, the success of these candidates is a result of decades of women-led organizing on the ground.

New in Maurene Comey's lawsuit over her firing -- i havent read whole opinion yet so dropping this hhere for now. Judge sez Comey entitled to "judgment as a matter of law on her central claims that she was terminated in violation of the constitutional separation of powers and federal law."

If you want to know how complete the right-wing capture of the public narrative is: people were shocked a dozen years ago at birtherism being pointed at Obama. Yesterday, Trumpists said AES was not an American *even though he has a birth certificate* — and none of those outlets even made it news.

NEW: Maricopa County will restore 25 voters’ registrations after they were falsely flagged as noncitizens, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) announced. Mayes sued Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap (R) Thursday, demanding that he add the voters back to the registration rolls.

Judge Furman rules that Maureen Comey's firing violated separation of powers. Orders backpay. Govt's arguments violate 2 centuries of SCOTUS rulings & would "unsettle the equilibrium established by this Nation's constitutional system." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms to protect little girls from sexual predators are also smearing an actual child rape survivor." And not just that. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social:

In the final weeks before the midterms, Fox personalities are baselessly claiming that Democrats want to make Trump’s high gas prices permanent or even worse.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count. Read full investigation: propub.li/47EOwdG

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
