“Also included in the ad were a few shots of the woman's husband Vernon Edwards, who was convicted of gross sexual imposition in 2006 for molesting several of his nieces under the age of 13.” They have since used CGI to edit him out. He can’t even vet an ad. How is he going to be my governor?

This guy has the scared bravado of an absolute booger eater who’s gotten in with the school bully. He’s been told to brazen it out, and is only half convinced that it’ll work, as the current strategy depends on selling child rape as a character flaw for the child.

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”

Where is the support for the troops, yall? How are we allowing this? You’re not hearing about our troops dying in the Middle East because they have kicked all of the journalists out of those bases, the pentagon, and Stars and Stripes.

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

And here all this time I had thought Logan Roy was based on Lachlan Murdoch…

Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Jack Hughes acted like a whiny lil bitch after a tiny chirp from a woman and would have totally rolled with it if it had come from Panger.

the sole purpose of originalists' preoccupation with history and tradition is reproducing historical hierarchies of oppression they are happy to discard history as soon as it doesn't serve that purpose I know I've told y'all this before bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Anthony Michael Kreis@anthonymkreis.bsky.social

This is not going away, sorry to say. One of my friends has already questioned if he’s an originalist post-Barbara because “letting historical accident determine the answer to this deeply profoundly moral normatively significant question” is “a weird way to do law.” I do not jest.

There's only one kind of affirmative action program that conservatives love, and it's their own crusade to prop up their unpopular ideas and force them on college students. Massive funding, entire programs devoted to the cause, even mandated courses now. And it's still not working.

Whoever is the Dem candidate in 2028 better have a DOGE investigation and a Trump family corruption tribunal on their platform.

A government report claims DOGE didn’t access sensitive systems. It also says the agency deleted records that would show if they had. Signal handle: Vittoria89.82

Meanwhile on Kalshi, traders made $879k betting Platner would drop out today and lost $907k betting he wouldn’t, according to internal market data. That’s just for today. The market overall had $11.5M traded on the question of when Platner would withdraw from the race.

Two things can be true: Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

The majority of Americans can't afford an unexpected $1,000 emergency expense, and in a country with notably expensive health care, this is a recipe for disaster. And of course, this has ripple effects because the Trump Admin blocked a Biden Admin effort to keep medical debt off credit reports.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Have you seen the commercials advertising knee braces that are “completely free with Medicare!”? Yeah, those are dumb and help no one and Medicare should stop covering that. Totally blocking DME enrollment is going to bring more harm to injured people and is irresponsible policy.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Welp, folks, better wrap yourself in bubble wrap and never leave the house cuz the government just told injured patients to go fly a kite

Oh, no way!? The man who was told 💫from birth💫 that he was a literal prince, was special, was to be waited on and revered just for breathing, was entitled??? The man with a literal royal title was entitled?? Maybe Andrew is especially a cunt but the whole system needs to go.

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform. We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

It starts with showing up.
