i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

I know I say this every time, but it's true. They try to make you believe they are inevitable, when in fact they are defeatable. They do this because once people believe they will always win, there's no point fighting back.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

Boy am I glad that my job never forced me onto this update path.

The next time a Republican “accidentally“ refers to “the Democrat Party” I’d like to see the Democrat “accidentally” refer to “the Rapist Party”

The projects would release 10,000's of tons of regulated pollutants, according to permitting documents, as well as more than 100M tons per year of greenhouse gases—an enormous amount roughly equal to the annual emissions of a mid-sized industrialized country.

Just been such a revolution in my worldview to realise that people like Musk actually believe this, this isn't just the nonsense they feed the rubes so they can do coldly rational mercantile calculations in smokey rooms among themselves. No. It's rubes all the way down, they're that stupid.

The one I'd like to see...

I was called out by the Law Dork, but he (a) excised the context that preceded my comment and (b) closed off further discussion. Poor form from an otherwise worthwhile account here.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

So I don't have to see any more political ads, right?

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

I find the diehard fans of politicians who are actually charismatic and/or accomplished to be weird enough, but the ones who come out her defending Schumer or Jeffries at all costs are just baffling. It's like getting a tattoo of one of the Osmond Brothers. Have some fucking self-respect.

Puppet and Puppet Masters

Nothing with Trump has ever been hidden. From the moment he became a public figure it was obvious he was solely a broken, corrupt, self-seeking criminal Any "analysis" or framing that continues to act like this is anything else stems from a desire to hide it or denial in aid of their favored system

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

NEW: Records show Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken nearly 1,000 trips during his tenure, costing $3.3 million in security. We could only connect 138 of those trips and $553,000 in security costs to state business. with @texastribune.org

What are the changes to the work requirements and time limits on public housing from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)❓ Will you be impacted❓ How can you help your community secure stable housing❓ Join us on Oct. 8 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and let’s discuss.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

For everyone who spent #MeToo fretting “what if this goes too far?”—be of good cheer! It turns out we didn’t go too far at all! It turns out we didn’t nearly far enough! Good job guys!

lmao

If you see this, post a not quite Star Trek.

The Republican Party was founded in Wisconsin, but there really is not a Wisconsin Republican Party any longer. When three people are paying for 90% of a gubernatorial campaign and 80% of legislative campaigns, you have a club, not a political party, owned and funded by billionaires.

my dude you flew a stop the steal flag outside your house

That's funny

Weird how the Nazis don't make his list. Probably just an oversight

New from me: I unpack what happened at the Jack Smith hearing, and offer a theory of what the hell Senator Eric Schmitt thought he was doing. And yes, an inability to tell the difference between the Hawks and Hawkeyes really did seem to be a big part of it. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-happe...

“ME TOO went too far” said the country that re-elected a rapist.

The Schmitt thing is kind of scary because it shows just how much many elected Rs genuinely believe the crazy stuff. He and his staff thought they’d pulled the red thread on The Giant Conspiracy. They were so convinced it must be real they didn’t even think to double check.
