there are a ton of hilarious examples of this but none will ever top the participant in the NYT's recurring 2024 "focus group" who worked for one of the largest Republican political consulting firms in America.

The Republican politicians sold to you by the national media as reasonable, compassionate, thoughtful people are actually a bunch of irredeemable bigots, pricks to the core, just utter monsters.

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

If Brazil and Serbia can do it, we can do it too. joycevance.substack.com/p/live-on-de...

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.

Hey Alabama GOP—here’s the voter fraud youve been looking for, but it’s the GOP candidate for Lt Gov, being called out here by the Dem candidate @phillipensler.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DeR8AKh...

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

Vučić ❌ Bolsonaro ❌ Netanyahu MAGA

Stunning Lula victory in Brazil is another sign of how easily we all let ourselves get psy-op-ed by the right's expressions of confidence into, you know, believing them. We really have to get over that habit!

Billionaire oligarch endangering civilians by slowing communication satellites sounds like a James Bond plot

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) sent a letter Friday to U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz seeking clarification about the threat, which Padilla said raised questions about “potential federal election interference by your office.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Ossoff: "I encourage all of you to reach out to the Collins campaign to ask him how explains the continued production & dissemination of white nationalist and antisemitic propaganda from his property while he runs for the Senate. It's one of the most shocking developments in GA's political history"

Something so odd abt this story and the timing. And all these GOP groups saying yeah of course Lindsey was gay. No duh. Assuming these particular claims are true more than anything just sad. A sad way to spend one’s life. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/u...

If your elderly relative routinely blew up at women and insulted them, grossly sexualized other men in public, regularly fell asleep in public mid-meeting repeatedly, and babbled incoherently you'd put him under care and not let him make important decisions.

The crux of my argument about the Dems is: Look how out of it the GOP is when events just coalesce against them. Imagine an opposition operating at max capacity, guns blazing even 40% of the time? It would obliterate the right for a generation. This would be good for America and the entire world.

if Zohran Mamdani used the word "Shylock" the ADL would have called in a nuclear strike on New York City by now

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

A theme running through the progressive dems running this year is just going to voters and talking to them instead of listening to the consultants and focus groups who say they need to spend all their time peeling off disaffected republicans

Hope this embarrassing moment digs this man for a decade

Wildly out of touch. Voters want to see their candidates confident and willing to fight, not meekly taking the bait and retreating to whatever won’t offend a moderate Republican

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

It’s the same way how cults attract rich “smart” people more than they do the average person. It’s not that the cult leader is some genius mind control savant, but people with money and idle time are fucking dumb (see Musk, Elon)

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating -- its all time low! -35 points, the worst he has ever been in the Reuters/Ipsos poll. Among independents he's 54 points underwater. NBC -- worst ever. ABC -- worst ever. Ipsos -- worst ever. Pew -- worst ever."

Why has the ADL said nothing about Trump's invocation of the grossly antisemitic "Shylock" trope? Have they entirely given up any pretense of caring about rightwing Jew hatred?

susan collins saying she had no idea kavanaugh would vote to overturn roe is like loading a gun, putting it in the killer's hand, pointing the gun at someone, telling him to squeeze the trigger, helping him to squeeze the trigger, then saying you're shocked someone died.

Second all of this from @gregsargent.bsky.social. Every Democrat should back Slotkin up and reiterate her point. Don’t come work in government if you’re eager or even willing to participate in Trump corruption. newrepublic.com/article/2168...

Here's what really happened with this Elissa Slotkin saga: She said that a Dem Congress will seek real accountability for Trump's enablers, and a bunch of MAGA goons decided this posed a major threat to their political project. Which it actually does! newrepublic.com/article/2168...

i think the gop game plan if they lose the midterms is to george w bush him. pretend nobody ever really supported him, disappear him from their conventions, and then the dumb democrats and the media play along.

Trump Appointees Asked a Federal Cybersecurity Agency to Secretly Acquire a Voting Machine—and Hack It talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-a...

So "wedgewood polls" which released a number of polls, most recently of Mississippi, was fake. And the people behind it are now bragging abt it. If these are really industry vets they shld be identified and blackballed forever. This is like GOP freaks who commit vote fraud to show how easy it is.

One thing about this vile video Republicans are circulating featuring Amy Acton’s mother. It is not an ad. It is an online smear campaign. An ad is required to have a disclaimer at the end, revealing who paid for it and creating a modicum of accountability. This video has no disclaimer.

This is the racism publications like the New York Times constantly edits out

He's used "Shylock" like this repeatedly now, and it's not because he's familiar with Shakespeare. Guaranteed he picked up using it as a slur from his father because nobody younger than that says it.

someone should tell AIPAC we found the antisemites

My advice to Democratic candidates is simple: Don’t take advice from “Democratic strategists” who spend the two weeks leading up to Election Day running to the nearest television studio to bash Democratic candidates.

Jan is CBS’s legal correspondent. She gave the puff piece interview to Alito on his book. She’s criticized people who criticize the Court too much / in certain ways. She’s a perfect case study in why some mainstream/legacy media press coverage of SCOTUS is broken, bad, and misleading.

This is a lie. Abdul El-Sayed clearly disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood before delivering a masterclass on the First Amendment and religious freedom - a constitutional rebuke of Tommy’s Christian nationalism. Sen. Ted Cruz is lying.

Since we're talking about Jan Crawford's bigoted comment about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, here's a post I did about how she helped Bill Barr impugn the Russian investigation. emptywheel.net/2019/05/31/b...

WELKER: Who do you think is to blame for the disruption to the Starlink and Starshield services? ZELENSKYY: Of course the message came from the American government WELKER: Has the system been fully restored? ZELENSKYY: No, no. We have limitations.

Not only does she misrepresent the content of the exchange, she sides with the bigot who refuses to acknowledge the Constitution’s protections of and from religion.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Holy shit. Every single Democrat: This is the message. This right here. This is the whole ass pitch the voters in the weeks before the election.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

JD VANCE: The biggest reason why gas prices are so high is because when Joe Biden ... DOKOUPIL: It's almost been two years. At a certain point it becomes your economy, not Joe Biden's economy

Here's a supercut of JD Vance having a hard time answering questions about the sluggish economy, Trump's corruption, why the US hasn't already won the Iran war, and more during the CBS town hall that aired tonight

Journalists need to ask prominent people on the record whether they think Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. There’s an abundance of evidence that Trump indeed is, but hardly any major public figures seem willing to say it. I believe people are afraid to say what they know to be true.
