I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Rufo literally offered a bounty to anyone who could produce a video of Haitians eating dogs. He got nothing. So he found a video of Congolese men grilling chicken and tried to claim they were cooking cats.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

In response to people going after him for this, Friedersdorf claimed that he genuinely had no idea Rufo had anything to do with the Haitians in Springfield slurs and then got mad at people for acting like he was being a complete rube.

Trump doesn't want to interfere with the money laundering and other corruption he's come to depend on. "The Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to scale back scrutiny of the shadowy shell companies that criminals use to launder money and traffic drugs."

this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”

RFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."

He’s a demonstrated hack with no compunction about using the tools and powers of his office for political ends. And Republican members of Congress are okay with it.

Former Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino spoke at this event with white nationalist Keith Woods & told Woods "immigration & remigration, mass deportations, are the number one issue for the preservation of our culture, the preservation of our society, our values, our customs, our beliefs."

Here's a clip of Bovino praising Martin Sellner, the neo-Nazi activist who organized the conference. His associations include a man who went on to be a white supremacist terrorist. Of Sellner, Bovino said: "Your ideas. We talked a lot on that. Those ideas mirror each other" bsky.app/profile/sulc...

This is a calamity. You can’t out-vote a gerrymander. We’ve seen this time and again. The end result here will be that elections are no longer capable of changing the makeup of our government. We’ll have minoritarian rule by the oligarchs, and change becomes impossible through peaceful means.

New 2026 House maps have shifted Trump's median seat margin from +3.1 to +4.4. He won nationally by 1.5. But it may get worse for 2026—AL, LA, MS, & SC may target 2-6 more Dems & shift it to T+4.9 or T+7.4. In 2028, GA & IN could add 4 & shift it to T+9.1. Dems must respond with new maps by 2028

It's the 7th month of the US bombing random ships in Latin American waters they claim are drug smugglers (reminder that two survivors who were rescued were repatriated, not charged), and the death toll is 150+, and it barely gets discussed.

The U.S. military said Sunday that it blew up two boats accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, as the Trump administration pursues its campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America. n.pr/3O2lHSi

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was … Marco Rubio.

Watching the Senator from Missouri, Eric Schmitt going on and on about 3 people killed by undocumented people. Too bad they can't bring themselves to go on and on when it's children in a school murdered by a gun carrying psychopath... Shows you where their priorities are....

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

If we let them, these people will destroy everything that makes human civilization worth saving. It’s frightening how much power and influence we have allowed these tech feudalists to accumulate - and it will be one of the twenty-first century’s defining struggles to wrest it back from them.

Idk how people think this when Trump is: a) perhaps the least “like one of us” that a person could possibly be b) clearly reviles actually having to interact with anybody from outside his small circle of elites, choosing to spend most of his time at his literal private social club

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

DOOCY: If Iran tries to hit us back, have you been briefed about how many Iran sleeper cells there could be inside the US right now? TRUMP: I have been, and a lot of people came in through Biden with his stupid open border. But we know where most of them are.

you see we didnt hit iran. iran slipped and fell in the kitchen and thats why iran has a black eye. if iran would just stop being clumsy we wouldnt have to get so mad at them. if iran would just use its brain we wouldnt have to yell at iran...

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones. The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.

Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb.
