Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad.
"This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."
Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."
In one month from now Trump will be openly seeking to overturn the Nov 3 results. We all know that is coming. That is why Democratic AGs should announce now that if anyone tries to interfere in their election--including Trump-they will prosecute under state law. Trump can't pardon state crimes!
In the latest version of Kernel Panic—WIRED's security and privacy newsletter—me and @lhn.bsky.social look at how Meta's Muse AI creates 'profiles' for everyone in your life.
And yep, that means compiling a huge amount of info about your relationships

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win
I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people
Doctors say that measles can kill young children. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his car says they'll be fine as long as they eat enough beef tallow. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.
Fuck AIPAC but they’re not the only bad guy. When I post about a Democrat sucking, and y’all go right to AIPAC, it’s really testing the antisemitism fence and I’m tired of having to parse that shit. Centrist Dems suck for more than one reason, and if you go right to Jews, you’re not helping.
curious how I haven't see a paint blistering media freakout about Trump STARVING THE TROOPS anywhere close to comparable as when Biden ripped off the bandaid in Afghanistan www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
"Clock Tower X created ten websites, each dedicated to a particular aspect of Israel’s propaganda campaign...The websites attract only a few hundred human visitors each month, Drop Site reported. Their principal audience appears instead to be search engines, automated web crawlers and AI chatbots."
We know what happens when the left of center party embraces transphobia. Look at Labour UK. Trans rights are lost there for a generation. They've got nobody left to fight for them.
We cannot let that same cancer spread in the US in the Democratic Party.
In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration has granted industrial facilities in 38 states and Puerto Rico a two-year reprieve from rules under the Clean Air Act.
The president is considering exempting even more.
I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant:
At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre.
Everything in this cult can be traced back to that.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)
The median American voter also cannot articulate a strategic objective in Iran, so Donald Trump's bumbling management of the war may ironically make him more relatable.

The Right Wing is motivated by an arrested development where they become dependent on authoritarian adults to rule over them and then, in adulthood, are desperate to find dictators to step in to replace those adults and allow them the freedom of unfreedom and to functionally remain children.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
Whether it's Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. fighting to desegregate public restrooms or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. snorting cocaine off of toilet seats, toilets play a key role in the history of the Kennedys.
By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.
People are getting really fooled by things in the Epstein files. This is NOT a "Declassified FBI memo". It is a story told to the FBI by a CHS ("confidential human source"), who could be anyone from a petty criminal to a whistleblower to a propagandist trying to deceive (as here). Be smarter. 1/
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."
- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.
Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!
“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”
This 👇. My go-to explanation since the boat strikes and navy buildup began in late summer: They're bootstrapping a justification for invoking the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport people domestically.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
Fuck these Dems. How dare you throw trans people under the bus like this. So much for @johnfetterman.com being an LGBTQIA+ ally, like he pretended to be when Lt. Gov. in PA. Fuck you, especially.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
