Springtime for Hegseth

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

So not impeach either of them and just wait for Trump to fire them.

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

Also, I'd love to know how two different stories -- each written by three reporters, with no overlap in the authors -- managed to find Jolene Riessen and make her the stand-in for apolitical Iowa farmers.

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...

I do not understand why this man is not in court every day on state charges.

*BOLSONARO: FEDERAL POLICE REQUESTED I GIVE THEM MY PASSPORT

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

Recall again how the same newspaper chose to write up "duplicate Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop." Was that a bigger deal or less of a big deal than rape?

Hey def a choice to write up "The President is credibly accused of a new rape" as "Dems call for special counsel to scrutinize ties" bsky.app/profile/ryan...

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

Lula now also to blame for Bolsonaro's corruption @nytpitchbot.bsky.social couldn't make this one up www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/w...

A pedestrian who was nearly killed by a hit-and-run driver in Midtown this summer only learned later — after weeks of silence — that the NYPD had closed the 'open-and-shut case' without finding the perpetrator. buff.ly/Otq7uXf

This headline structure is literally the joke format we use to make fun of people like this

Holy shit. Global fascism got walloped today.

"tomorrow will be a beautiful day"

The public: “we are ripshit mad about cost of living issues” The president: “my god, look at that ass”

Yes I know editors not the bylined reporters write the headlines but the reporters also use "ruthless" in the copy of the story. "Remarkably ruthless!" bsky.app/profile/adri...

Typically, "ruthless" describes an effective, if distasteful, action by someone powerful and in control. is that an accurate way to characterize the Vivek campaign in October 2026?

which adjectives reporters use to characterize stuff like this makes a big difference in how the public perceives the story. "Ruthless" is an odd choice given the reality of the story

this interview is a real sign that they are just throwing shit and desperately hoping that it sticks

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

I would actually find accountability for these criminals extremely pleasant.

Robert Reich is a NIMBY so it is completely unsurprising that he is endorsing Chan, the NIMBY candidate in this race

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

republicans’ closing message could not be clearer: they are the party of pedophile rapists

The claim is that this investigation started during the Biden administration. Maybe that's true. But they've lost all benefit of the doubt. And the timing is clearly intentional to maximize political damage to Democrats -- and a clear violation of DOJ policy.

What a %&$@! headline!! He didn't "pass" to close to cyclists. HE HIT THEM! And they didn't "collide"! HE HIT THEM! Because he was CARELESS and IMPATIENT and ANGRY and a VERY BAD DRIVER/HUMAN BEING!!

reads to me as they're expecting a GOP apocalypse in two weeks

I have to tell you: As an American and a Jew who has no love for what the Israeli government has become or the country's tolerance for settler behavior for years, what Arbit is saying is significantly more off-putting than anything AES, someone I've met personally before in my life, would ever say.

it can only good happen

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...

Why are we having a moral panic over ebikes instead of cars which kill 100x more people? As I've been told repeatedly, that regardless of statistics (actually counting the harm) ebikes are still more dangerous because "Cars don't drive on sidewalks" Well even that is complete BS ⬇️

FINALLY. Call these creeps what they are!
