Like they always say, when your charges utterly fail due to your own incompetence, charge them again!

I don’t know how you make any clearer, short of a cartoon with a villain twisting his waxed mustache

The Arab scientists that RFK Jr doesn’t believe exist 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

RFK Jr is being a racist shitgibbon today, so I'm just going to throw this back into the universe.

During an interview with Roop Raj on a local Fox affiliate in Detroit, Michigan Trump made several misleading and false statements about the auto industry and U.S. manufacturing. I've included a brief fact check.

I mean, when you have no ideas and the dude you sold out all your principles for turned out to be exactly the disaster everyone said he would be, then stick to identity politics I guess?

New in PN: Living in the long, stupid shadow of the Big Lie "Elections where Trump — or any other Republican — wins are fine, but elections where Republicans lose are corrupt. The only solution, of course, is to let the DOJ intervene both before and after any elections that Trump has fixated on."

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

🚨SENATE ALERT: Democrats are closing in. Silver Bulletin gives Dems a 76% chance to win the Senate—with strong leads in NC, GA and NH, and competitive races across OH, ME, MI, MN, AK and TX. But Republicans are flooding the airwaves with money to stop the blue wave. Vote early. Finish the job. 🔵

One of the most competitive House races in US is Wisconsin’s 3rd. Democrat, Rebecca Cooke, is ready to kick out incumbent and 1/6 insurrectionist, Derrick Van Orden. She joins me for the latest in her race, including Van Orden’s repeated use of AI-generated deepfake ads. youtu.be/vaWfahm9NLQ?...

So to cover up that misrepresentation, Pirro 1) swapped FBI agents 2) added an obstruction charge to excuse the new affidavit. Basically, Pirro is charging the FBI agents with obstruction to cover up her cover up. 😳

Israeli forces kill 14 in Gaza as UN commission says genocide continues - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-forces-kill-14-gaza-un-commission-says-genocide-continues

A Haaretz survey shows that Israeli broadcast media are completely dominated by Netanyahu and Likud, platforming him 3 times more often than Eisenkot, who leads in the polls. Channel 14 is the Rupert Murdoch News feed, offering all Bibi, all the time. Netanyahu rules the airwaves in Israel.

Latest piece. If the Dems take control of Congress, the first investigation (after corruption) has to be about the use of AI in US warfare. American tech executives have placed themselves in a pernicious situation and we need to understand what happened. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-first-...

Fair and balanced

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country." ~Fmr. President Theodore Roosevelt, 1918. Roosevelt was born OTD in 1858. Image: NPS/Sagamore Hill collection.

Walking the line outside the Trump rally in Corinth, I was reminded that more unites us than divides us here in Mississippi. I heard from folks who want to get foreign money out of our elections, put an end to flock cameras, keep our border secure, and make sure our veterans are taken care of.

But Hunter Biden …

Yeah, why are those rape allegations getting buried right now. Oh right, we only air October surprises when Donnie does it

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

Perfect

So brittle. Donnie’s ego fractures at a puff of wind

As Marcy has been repeating, this case is about the government even being able to conduct counterintelligence against (Russian) disinformation. It's clownish yet so important.

You wonder why their messaging isn’t winning

👀 A Trump admin declaration in its lawsuit against California describes its process for flagging potential noncitizen voters but also indicates that the review is “ongoing” and that it discovered “minor data discrepancies” for 189 people it identified storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Looking forward to the possibility of Israel voting out the guy who committed genocide in Gaza in favour of the guy who explicitly declared war crimes to be an inherent part of Israeli tactics in Lebanon And then being gaslit by the media that this counts as progress

🤔

Totally unforeseen

MOTHER JONES: “THEY WENT TO JARED… Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner used his position to hop in bed with autocrats and sell out America.” And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Early voting by 18-29 Democrats in North Carolina is 232.8% of what it was so far in 2022. You read that right, 232.8%.

Trump administration asks Washington to set aside hundreds of ballots from suspected noncitizen voters

What in the ever loving racist incorrect mouth dropping is this??? The Arab world “produces” plenty of “science”… which is all the more impressive since the West periodically bombs all their shit.

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis, report finds

Well played

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...

Well how's he supposed to fill a venue in a Democratic stronghold like.... [checks notes]... Mississippi

So much projection

The Department of Justice (DOJ) claims a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules to avoid confusion isn’t relevant to its effort to bar California from counting the votes of 20,000 people on a list of alleged noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Great thread, especially the math at the end

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

In his mind

It’s happening again. Because why wouldn’t it? Nobody was held accountable last time.

Ding ding fucking ding.
