Fox News: "...this ad really has been denounced by a lot of different people. So I was somewhat surprised to hear the vice president come out and defend Vivek Ramaswamy."

“The borrowing let Ellison keep his stock and avoid locking in taxable gains, and highlighted how billionaires often employ a strategy called ‘buy, borrow and die’ to retain their wealth without selling assets.”

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Thomas Teepell is a former staffer for GOP Senator Josh Hawley. His father, Timmy Teepell was a GOP strategist who got Hawley elected. Tommy tried a "gotcha" question about the Muslim Brotherhood during a town hall with Abdul El-Sayed. It did not go as he had planned.

Remember Andy Harris (R-MD), the rep who crashed out of a town hall b/c the audience laughed at his claim that the Dems were behind diesel fuel prices? - Then incorrectly invoked the 1st amendment? Here he is AFTER the town hall, crashing out again after incorrectly invoking his right to privacy.

NEW YORK! i am bringing my show to Littlefield for the NY Comedy Fest in four weeks. Nov. 9th, early show @ 7, late show @ 9:30. come thru

No, bombing Yandex has not impacted automated Russian trolling operations in the U.S.

You can kill as many people as you want, but you target a beautiful precious data center? The one that hosted all 40,000 Sexy Ladies For Ken Paxton accounts?

I’m on a flight next to a guy who is listening to Seinfeld with no headphones and all I hear is the laughtrack and the worst bass noises of all time every 15 seconds and all I can think about is this.

"He's gonna fix it. Believe in him ... all the abortion, it's evil ... I want to see 2 people -- Trump & Jesus...we do not want Muslims taking over...I have horrible thoughts. I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country...they need to pack up & go back where they came from."

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

This might be my all-time record for the amount of times I've re-watched an Aaron Rupar clip. I think I've given this at least 10 views now.

Happy birthday to @markhamillofficial.bsky.social - best known for his work on Wing Commander III: Heart of Tiger (1994), Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom (1996) & Wing Commander Prophecy (1997). Also, "The guy from Star Wars."

Call me crazy, but it seems like the administrator of Medicare and Medicaid should.... know how fucking insurance works?

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social why did you betray democracy and give oligarchs exactly what they want? You know you've lost any hope of running for any political office once your term is up, right?

Norwegian humor is on another level. Here's how the Norwegian Consumer Council explained @doctorow.pluralistic.net's concept of 'enshittification':

The rogue Waymo that drove through a farmers market in Denver is a reminder that Colorado has no laws to issue citations for driverless vehicles and their actions.

Determining your cheese preference based on which is not halal is a strong contender for the quintessence of GOP ideology. It's irrelevant to them, no reason for them to think about it at all, but they don't have personalities, they're simple reactionary creatures governed solely by bigotry.

never forget that our universities fired and expelled people for opposing this

Republicans don't even try to campaign anymore. They just look at you and say stuff like this.

O'DONNELL: Freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment. Are you trying to intimidate the press from doing its job? TRUMP: No. I dislike dishonest press, like you. I think you're terrible.

Trump claimed he's "banning the free press" & added "we're repressive also" when asked about China's lack of press freedoms during bonkers event where he struggled to stay awake, demanded kids get 5 vaccine shots instead of 1, and rambled incoherently in response to basic Qs Here's a supercut:

“Even though construction is complete, work on the trail continues and Ciochetto asks cyclists for patience. ‘There are older sections of the trail that are hitting like 25 and 30 years old that need maintenance, and we are aware of it, but we have to find the funding…’”

If you appreciate my work more than the taxpayer-funded trolls in the White House and would like to buy me a coffee to show your support, you can do so here:

Brilliant.

We are now one of the most competitive races in the country. I’ve been building the campaign and plan to beat Ann Wagner all along. Now we have a map she desperately wanted to throw away. We are ready to flip this seat. Join us!

A lot of people asking me how this isn't the New InfoWars and guess what maybe it is?

hey, i was mentioned on CNN tonight! (disagree with the "deceptive clip" allegation though)

As big as it gets: The Missouri Supreme Court has blocked the Missouri GOP’s gerrymander, and ordered that a citizen-led veto referendum be placed on the ballot. The SoS had blocked it. This would likely reverse the expected GOP pick-up of a Kansas City seat, and set up a huge November vote.

Minnesota right-wing Alpha News has uncovered the huge scandal that a school board candidate in my hometown of Forest Lake also plays in a rock band! The horror!

Wow! Maria Bartiromo, longtime anchor of Fox Business's morning show and a Sunday show on Fox News, is done with the network

thinking about watching Fox Business tomorrow morning as hosts try to spin the August jobs report without Maria Bartiromo shrieking at me about how bad numbers are actually good because the stock market is up

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

Missouri’s 2nd has a clear choice 💙🇺🇸 Fred Wellman: Army veteran, public servant & a fresh voice for MO-02. Ann Wagner: 13+ years in Congress, Trump-endorsed & millions in personal wealth. On Nov. 3, send someone to Congress who’ll serve Missouri. Choose Fred Wellman💙 #FredWellman #MO02 #SheShed
