John Q. Public

This is going to end up on my Republican uncle’s Facebook page next week

Jon Ossoff’s closing argument went in for the kill.

Dawg they’ve got the president of the United States campaigning in MISSISSIPPI

Can confirm. Would not recommend.

lol, is this advice for Iranians or Americans?

Oh?

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

Breaking News: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro to stay president of Brazil, halting the right’s march in Latin America. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/47GKOQJ

Here’s the editor of the Intercept Brazil as Lula tells the press that “something abominable is happening”

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

A lot of commentators, who are still predominantly male, seem to miss how much of the rise of the far right is driven by a revanchist need to put women “in their place”.

AG Todd Blanche: "If the law is broken, then any state should not certify"

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

lol, you better hope that state Democrats have a better plan than “we’ll see you in court”

We're gonna have to purge a lot of folks in 2029, and a lot of people who are silent about this are going to cry foul.

also, i think there's some dim realisation that our side has been radicalised by their bullshit & things could go very badly for them when power flips back let's make it so

🚨🚨🚨 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 ...

"can you believe the effrontery, they tried to hit us back"

Breaking News: Water is wet.

at a minimum, a worldview has to be connected to reality before you can appease it

i don't think we can come to a reasonable compromise with this

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Important new US intelligence assessment leaked to WSJ concludes—largely backing the Poles and Balts—that Putin personally ordered the commencement of a new large-scale sabotage and terrorism operation targeting the European members of NATO.

The moment City Council gets it right and passed the ordinance calling for the removal of ICE and the National Guard out of Memphis!

does the media ever—ever—ask republicans to disavow this open white supremacist?

They’ve been itching for 2020 levels of rioting for two years now, and they haven’t gotten it yet

"During the uproar, SpaceX representatives called White House counterparts seeking a unified understanding and subsequent message that the company and Trump administration coordinated ahead of Musk’s directive, the people said." Getting your story straight for CYA purposes.

Breaking: Elon Musk ordered the Starlink slowdown that blindsided Ukraine on.wsj.com/4sgcxkt

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: If there is a problem with Ilhan Omar's age, could she be deported? TRUMP: She could be. She could also go to jail. I think she's a sick, very dishonest person who hates our country. She comes from a country that is essentially not even a country. Somalia. It's a real shit house.

Again, all bark and no bite. He accused her of treason months ago and suggested she ought to be hanged over her “illegal orders” video.

FWIW, Blanche accused Walz of “terrorism” months ago and he hasn’t acted on those accusations yet, so they’re all bark and no bite here

Democrats are preparing to investigate Musk if they win control of the House in November, Politico reports. Potential probes would focus on his DOGE leadership, federal job cuts, alleged data breaches, government contracts and Starlink’s role in Ukraine.

Nothing to see here. Just the FCC chair praising a conspiracy theory who targets ethnic minorities.

These Fox News chyrons are starting to read like Succession chyrons

If only there was some form of document which enumerated the powers of the legislature.

Body camera video shows a Texas trooper using Signal to send ICE an 18-year-old's ID during a traffic stop in Austin, and an ICE agent replying "Detain." The teen was later released after a habeas petition. www.aol.com/articles/tex...

Wow. “A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state governments & congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in November’s midterm elections.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

“Our religion.”
