"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. .. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage .. But nothing flourishes in that world." This is very well articulated A fascinating read:

Tax the churches.

Elon Musk has dumped over $276 MILLION into political groups and Super PACs since July. That makes Musk the biggest known midterm donor. The ultra-wealthy are destroying democracy by buying our elections. End Citizens United NOW.

Meta rolled out Muse, which it's marketing as a cute and cuddly new AI personal assistant. It has a much darker reality. This AI agent is building a backlog of files on you that Meta can access. You're opening the door for your data to potentially get stolen.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

This is f’d up!

Always appreciate it when a Democrat talks like a normal person. What I also want to hear from @ossoff.bsky.social is his plan for accountability for all the crime-doers. To echo @vermontgmg.bsky.social make criming criminal again.

Byron Donalds removed every mention of Trump and his endorsement from his website. What happened ;/

Yes, the Army Secretary’s resignation is a big deal. Maybe bigger is that this leaves the Army with NO congress-approved civilian or military leaders. Danger: www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

‘A rise in real yields of this size has, in the past, consistently pulled money out of risk and ended the cycle. This time it has not — at least yet. That is a sign not of a permanently higher plateau in profits but of the extraordinary way the boom was being paid for.’ www.ft.com/content/b189...

🚨EMERGENCY EPISODE: A bombshell whistleblower complaint, submitted to Sen. Richard Blumenthal's office, reveals that the U.S. Postal Service allegedly kept building a new system to restrict mail-in ballots even after federal courts ordered it to stop it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySb4...

🎥 NEW: Marc Elias is breaking down two major allegations from a bombshell whistleblower complaint 👇 1️⃣ USPS defied court orders while developing its new mail ballot portal. 2️⃣ The system is designed so that if just one ballot in a batch of thousands can't be verified, the entire batch gets rejected.

BREAKING: Army Secretary Dan Driscoll RESIGNS. Driscoll is the guy Buria told to approve certain firings because "Trump won't want to stand next to Black female officers." The Army now has ZERO Senate-confirmed civilian or military leaders. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

As expected, the suspension of voters in Texas was very carefully crafted to target Democratic voters in major Democratic centers. This is how the Texas GOP controls the state: by insuring that it has the lowest levels of voter participation in the entire developed world.

Seems fair…

This is, bar none, the stupidest fuckung thing I’ve ever heard. And the idea that there’s nobody in the chain of command - civilian or military - with enough courage to say so is a disgrace.

As I have been showing, this entire fraudulent Fraud Task Force is an attempt to defund (and criminalize) Blue States and distract from Trump's far bigger corruption. The director for it, Scott Brady, is the guy who criminally framed Joe Biden.

You know how self-imagined libertarian millionaires like to pretend they could privatize everything, including the Fire Department? The tech billionaire Trump put in charge of Natural Resources shows how that goes. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

the Trump administration is objectively pro-sexual abuse and domestic violence

Never forget that Trump purged NSC’s top Iran expert last year bc Laura Loomer told him to.

For decades, Democrats did Republicans a favor no one thanked them for. They blocked cuts like this before red-state voters ever felt them. That era is over. This time the bill passed, and the pain must land on the cynical Republicans who voted for it.

The lack of self-awareness is off the charts.

A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

The Trump family said they were “debanked” for political reasons after Jan. 6—and used that to justify going hard into crypto. Turns out Capital One flagged them for money laundering. And then Blanche wrote the memo shielding the Trump family from IRS audits? Hm.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

From Trump on down, they all lied.

Trump absolutely cratering by many metrics in new CNN poll: 66% say he puts himself over country 61% disapprove of ballroom, arch, etc 57% say lacks sharpness to serve (!) 73% say he's out of touch w/regular people (!!) His personalist project is over. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2137...

Lmao this is as close as you'll get to "everything that guy just said was bullshit" from the chief economist at JP Morgan talking about the Fed chair

All the ways Trump has gutted efforts to stop foreign election interference: -laid off a third of CISA employees -disbanded FBI task charged with combatting foreign election interference -eliminated DHS teams combatting foreign disinformation -fired all the EAC commissioners

Accurate

One thing I really like about Ossoff is his seriousness. He's genuinely disgusted here, not merely camera-disgusted.

Reminder: As DNI, Gabbard commissioned two reports from firms who examined voting machines. Both reports say there was no voter fraud in 2020. Trump is blocking the release of those reports. Gabbard briefed the White House. She no longer works at DNI.

Nailed it 👇🏼

The MAGA plot to subvert the 2026 midterm elections is coming into focus. 1. Declassify docs to claim 2020 was stolen. 2. Declare a "national emergency" to seize control of the election apparatus. 3. Hope the "national security" predicate keeps courts out. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

Under DOJ guidelines, the FBI may only conduct an investigation if agents can point to a set of facts reasonably indicating that an actual or potential federal crime or national security threat exists. Multiple investigations have found no evidence to suggest fraud in the 2020 Georgia election.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

Ossoff: "You've got the American govt controlled by Donald Trump backing a Trump family tungsten mine in Kazakhstan w/ a billion plus dollars of federal commitments at the very same time that they are cutting healthcare, defunding hospitals, & nursing homes, & doubling health insurance premiums."

Chris Murphy on the SAVE Act: "Donald Trump is the most unpopular president in the recent history of this country, and so he's trying to rig the election in part by creating this national voter ID list."
