I too was wrong on this. Alaska’s director of elections tells the DOJ to get bent in its efforts to persuade a federal court to demand Alaska not certify its senatorial election if the Democrat wins.

Liz Dye@lizdye.bsky.social

Okay, apparently I was wrong. Alaska isn't picking up what DOJ is putting down in the "Alaskans too stupid to understand RCV" case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

"Global far-right power grab" is the phrase everyone's looking for, and why we need to stop thinking of fighting them in terms of borders. It's the same like, 200 well-positioned multinational cunts fucking things up, and we need to start thinking of how to excise them wherever they're found

i've come around on the cheesecake factory story. it's a soothing balm to see the kind of pantomimed, intentionally stupid chattering class outrage of the obama era i am now nostalgic for. the intentionally stupid chattering class discourse of the trump era is so much more miserable

Putin has either ultimately lost his fucking mind by now, or he's just openly mocking everyone and amusing himself, reveling in the all-encompassing idiocy of the Donald Trump era. Most likely, it's both at the same time.

Trump openly spoke about how he enjoyed walking backstage at the pageants to ogle the underage girls during his first campaign but for reasons of complicity, titillation or denial these statements never seemed to take hold in the media attention span.

it would also be nice if the next Democratic administration made it clear they were at least open to (or ideally, simply going to approve) extradition requests for attempting to overthrow foreign democracies

How to read numbers: - Big night for Arab parties in Israel, thanks for years of Ben Gvir/Smotrich spewing bigotry - Netanyahu's Likud party still largest BUT his bloc is on way to losing almost 1/3 of its seats - Watch what Eisenkot, Bennett, Mansour Abbas do in days ahead

This young lady understands that in a Democracy the power resides with the people, not the Orange tyrant that’s squatting in the White House. Let’s get the vote out and create the biggest #BlueWaveIn7Days it’s time to take our country back. Make a plan and let’s seal the deal!🗳️

Notably, DOJ didn't obtain a grand jury indictment -- which it eventually must do for felony charges. Magistrate judge set a "preliminary hearing" -- AKA a probable cause hearing -- to determine whether there's probable cause to refer the case to a grand jury. If no PC --> complaint dismissed...

there are a million things worse in the report, but a random billionaire hornball starting a beauty pageant for 14-to-19-year-olds is a red flag you can see from space, and I feel like society should have been better about saying "Hey hold on there just one minute buddy"

I have SO MANY… Stories about my adventures in unemployment over the last six months or so. Scams, people asking you to work for free, major (as in household name type) media companies cozying up to you one day and then literally ghosting you the next. Oh, and scams… Did I mention that?
