The conspiracy theories the Right came up with about the Clintons and Obama and Biden are absolutely true of Trump and Kushner and the rest of the ilk… every accusation has been a confession. Every damn one.

I think we need to move away from the framing that these candidates/elected officials "believe" 2020 was stolen. They *say* 2020 was stolen *knowing* that it wasn't. That's worse.

As Ramaswamy doubles down on his new ad featuring a woman who chose her pedophile rapist husband over her own daughter, his victim, let me remind you that this story happened literally one week ago. They really, really, really want to lock up the pedophile vote.

Democrats don’t just need to win, they need to win by margins that make Republican ratfucking ineffective and pundits‘ efforts to downplay a mandate laughable. Pour it on. Do not let up.

huh. what could this posssssssssibly mean. the US media willful professed ignorance on this stuff is increasingly embarrassing. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Third Way — which has declared "war" on progressives — is a Trojan Horse for corporate America. Their funding sources are a Star Wars cantina of billionaire megadonors, Fortune 500 CEOs, giant corporations, and corporate dark money bundlers.

Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, the Philippines, Israel, and the EU. Peter Thiel’s network is moving fast while the MSM has a snooze fest. #PaxSilica

lol, lmao

Buck up, US fans. The women’s World Cup is less than a year away.

Until we address the fact most talented soccer players in the US can’t afford to compete because club and travel teams have snuffed rec/school ball out, this is probably going to keep happening.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

It's ginned up bullshit and Democrats and liberals are falling for it instead of saying "Fuck you stop being weird about trans girls in sports you sprouted potatoes." Nobody fucking cared until a few years ago when Roe fell and conservaties needed another wedge issue.

These takeaways are ... very good?

NEW: The Kennedy Center is a reminder that we can win, it will be messy, and Trump will be petty. The illegal effort to put Donald Trump's name on the Kennedy Center has always been a metaphor — but, this weekend, it became a story of how we get through this. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Anyone who argues that Democrats should move to the right on their most popular political issue either has no understanding of abortion politics, or is anti-abortion themselves. In the case of yesterday's NYT op-ed—it appears to be both jessica.substack.com/p/new-york-t...

Tell me again how sports is unfair if trans kids are allowed to play when everyone celebrates a guy who is twice as tall as his opponents

There has never been a single instance in history where the top .1% suffered due to high taxes. There are countless & ongoing examples throughout history where the bottom 90% suffered because the top .1% weren't taxed enough. This isn't complicated. Tax billionaires. Protect working people. Period

The body of scientific literature quantifying the harm of misinformation and disinformation continues to grow. There is just no denying that it is an existential threat to just about every area of life, especially when it comes from the government.

Don't worry, Republicans, the congressman who refuses to use straws "because that's what the women in my house use" is going to organize a real kick-ass concert for everyone

Now that America’s 250th is officially a Trump rally, someone should sue to stop it. He’s spending public money on this spectacle and the only fig leaf was that it was non political.

This is what hiring a failed businessman and grifter will get you (also a very happy Papa Putin patting himself on the back for a wise investment). Source: @kyamawebb on Threads

If you're shocked Mallory McMorrow launched a bizarre false attack against Dr. Abdul El Sayed that he's "not a real doctor," don't be. The woman running her comms is Liz Smith—the same Liz Smith who Cuomo hired to smear the women accusing him of sexual assault. www.qasimrashid.com/p/mallory-mc...

Marco Rubio when he finds out he’s the new Director of National Intelligence

Hosea Williams, the man marching with John Lewis at the head of the protesters beaten on Pettus Bridge seeking voting rights, was a chemist from Georgia with an MA. Now an African-American microbiologist from Georgia with a PhD is going to Congress.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

I’m sure it’s fine. Frank Bisignano— who reportedly oversaw a program at JP Morgan in the 2010s to spy on JP Morgan employees using software from Peter Thiel’s Palantir—is both the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration & the CEO of the Internal Revenue Service under Trump 2.0. 1/

Oh my.

the murder of juniper blessing is a horrifying reminder of the campaign of violence being waged by the most powerful against the vulnerable and the environment of hate being encouraged on all sides of the political spectrum

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

You do not spend generations suppressing a people you believe are weak.

Are we really going to go on for 2 1/2 years with a deranged White House occupant who can barely keep his eyes open and when he's awake he's narcissistically focused on grabbing attention, corruptly enriching himself, abusing reporters and ignoring the needs of ordinary Americans?

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.
