This is a significant story about a highly credible victim who allegedly was raped by Donald Trump. Where is the legacy media? The expanding evidence of his raping not as interesting as Hillary’s emails? www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

Bolosonaro is being investigated for being on honest to God Brazilian crime lord who was running to do for him and his crime family what our President did for his, lost, then fled Brazil illegally, and if Dems aren’t running this story 24/7 for the next week they are leaving real votes on the table.

Well done, John Roberts. Well done.

This breathtaking NYT story about Trump's Russian entanglements includes three people who've been part of the operation to cultivate Trump since 2015: Bryan Lanza, Sheikh Tahoon, and Kirill Dmitriev. This is literally the culmination of the original plan. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

scoop: Reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg have been barred from next week's G20 meeting in Asheville, N.C. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/29/b...

Do not let Trump gaslight you. He already has a massive secret underground command center under the White House that was built in 2010. Here are the details about the existing doomsday bunker built after 9/11: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.

This needs to be done

Bret Stephens: As writing with AI becomes ubiquitous, “it undermines not only our individual ability to write but also a society’s collective ability to reason, a culture’s inner capacity to create and everyone’s reason to care.”

"But something else has shifted in Tremont. After the [successful] fight against the detention center, 'It doesn’t matter if they’re Democrat, Republican, the town has come together'...” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Get this good boi on Widows Bay!

Enough electricity to power 3 million homes. That's the scale of the AI data center buildout happening around San Antonio. Texas should build infrastructure that serves Texans, not just the Greedy Few.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

…Are you kidding me? This country's treatment of voice actors is fucking abysmal. Aqua Teen Hunger Force essentially built Adult Swim, & if there were any justice, Carey Means shouldn't have to work another day in his life. Between this & Andy Merrill's trouble, i just… what the fuck. What the fuck.

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

Ceci n'est pas une golden calf.

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

Full accountability for the corrupt Roberts court will take time, but this is one consequence we can implement today. Make the name John Roberts synonymous with institutionalized racism: Roberts redistricting, John Roberts laws, Roberts Representatives.

I actually think it's bad for the government to be surveilling its citizens inside their private vehicles, regardless of what veneer of legitimacy you try to put on top of it

Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines "As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust."

😂😂 who made this?

There is no McTry.

The Trump administration is quietly seeking unprecedented access to medical records for millions of federal workers and retirees, and their families. www.cnn.com/2026/04/08/h...

Trump just posted a video without any caption. It shows Somali-Americans walking around the Mall of America in Minnesota, set to the Gary Jules version of the song “Mad World.” I only recognize the video because it’s extremely popular among Nazis on Twitter.

"Under Bondi, in the first six months of Trump’s administration, DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, fraud, and drugs..." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

The Secretary of Defense is a coward “Mr. Hegseth refused to meet with General George about the matter” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG. And it won’t get 1% of the coverage. Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

I can promise you that no matter how closely you are paying attention, you are missing huge swaths of damage Trump is doing to the country & to vulnerable people. There's almost no way to fit it all in your head.

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

What in the actual fuck was that

It’s Transgender Day of Visibility. In this 2024 story, therapists shared advice for what you can do to support transgender people in your community.

probably completely obvious but the reason Project Hail Mary is doing so well (apart from being very well made) is that it is all about problem-solving, cooperation, self-sacrifice, and forming deep relationships with those from far away. All values that people feel a desperate need for right now.

Heather Cox Richardson has a larger audience than almost any dudefluencer. More informed. Better values & policy preferences. And yet there are no profiles, no elevation or lionization, because there's *nothing* US media is less interested in than middle-aged lib women. No diner interviews for them.
