1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isnβt considered news β especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case β but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets
I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trumpβs cabinet β by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obamaβs joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!
This is the core of perfect political communication: my side is excited and has logos, pathos and ethos to share while my loathsome opponent is too embarrassed to even engage.
NEW: Anthropicβs filing appears to partly walk back the co-foundersβ pledge to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the AI startup to philanthropic causes.
Those acts, the filing suggests, are βvoluntary, revocable expressionsβ that βdo not constitute binding obligations.β
The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.
The fact that billionaires can just buy an entire film distribution company that has been running and respected for over a decade to kill a documentary about their billionaire friend and nothing can be done about it is just
Fuck man
I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go
this, by the way, is why you should have undying contempt for the people who want you to believe that they "had" to buy a Tesla, because it was just the best car available... not only are these smug jerks morally bankrupt, they're bad at the one thing they care about too (being a savvy consumer)
If it's the sound political strategy you claim to believe it is, what are you worried about, you'll more than make those lost votes up in disgusting centrists, right? Right? But you know deep down it doesn't work like that
WELKER: Is a vote for you a vote for the Trump agenda?
MIKE ROGERS: Um, I'm apologizing. I'm having some difficultly in my earpiece. But is a vote for you? I'm not sure. I'll tell you what a vote for me is. It's a great day for the state of Michigan
As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.
i can see an argument that at some point mass prosecutions of these guys might actually engender a backlash effect. i think you can just start with a peace deal with iran that involves turning over hegseth to them to answer for the children he killed and then going from there. it will have an effect
They somehow tracked Actonβs birth mom down, found her living in a car with her cats, in a church parking lot, and took her to a video shoot to make vague accusations about her daughter, who she hadnβt seen in 40+ years, being a liar.
Borders on elder abuse.

π§΅π§΅π§΅ 10 ways the planetβs richest person, Elon Musk, has been busy making the world worse. A thread.
1. Buying crooked politicians like Ken Paxton.
fundamentally where I'm at on this: their legal arguments are going to fail, and they are going to have to decide if they want to run a military coup based on losing congress in the midterms
I don't think they will, in large part because donny still gets to be the president in that scenario
IDK man, which sounds better to you, having a private car that can do a flip that costs a ton of money or having an easily accessible public train line that's clean and takes you where you want to go and costs very little to use and you can just chill out on it and it probably won't explode randomly
Miller Lite stat o' the day
$442 million
the amount of money Elon Musk has dumped into R candidates for the midterms.
The most anyone has ever spent (beating 2024 Elon Musk)
Shit's broke.
