The degradation of his sentence construction and narrowing of his vocabulary is what has become noticeably different.

Hey: Yes Trump is stupid and ignorant, but: Old folks lose words sometimes, and it doesn't mean anything. At all. It was bigot crap when people obsessed about it with Biden. It's the same now. (Yes if anyone deserves bigot crap thrown at them it's Trump, but it's bad for everyone, not just him).

The main reason we have not called the race is that Detroit’s Election Day absentee ballots have not yet been reported. The pre-processed ballots often do not represent the full absentee vote, and Stevens could win the remaining ballots by a wide margin.

I quit watching around eleven and just now checked in here. TBH I didn't really care who won. But I resent the GOP sucking the joy out of election nights and adding races that wouldn't have been on my radar to my watchlist, even primaries. Now nothing matters but to unite to defeat republicans.

NBC Calls it for Abdul El-Sayed to win the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan. We're waiting on AP call and another network.

I hope @troyjackson207.bsky.social his preparing lines and making ads about it as we speak. Because Blanche will protect ice and allow them to do anything anywhere to anybody.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

Epstein made millions in direct payments to women and young girls out of just one JPMorgan account. Many of these payments were to women in high-risk countries like Belarus, Lithuania, and Russia.

He started that much in the hole, and he's still digging and no one can persuade him to put the shovel down. If this keeps up he's going to be forced to drop it.

Mark Ruffalo@markruffalo.bsky.social · yesterday

David Ellison once again 💩 on the 5625 career film makers that have clearly opposed this merger based on the loss of competition, consolidation of power&decision making, loss of jobs and the ridiculous idea that he is going to make more movies with less money because he is starting $83 bil in hole.

Let's end with them too. Trump is temporary. Anything his lapdog does will end when he is out of office, whatever they think they've done to prevent that. The assistance to Epstein perpetrators and emotional assault on Epstein victims is permanent, even if, as is highly likely, it is handled later.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

The State of Mississippi is denying 170 Mississippi foster students full-ride scholarships to colleges across the state, with many would-be freshmen finding out only weeks before their move-in date. Nick Judin reports:

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Doing the good stuff plus promoting it and shining light on its effects repeatedly. Candidates may not be able to replicate his results or his style, but they can do those two things. One is not enough.

When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.

Title: Deceptive design. A graphic meant to look like a color-blindness test obscures the number of”550” Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons on their apps. As a result, delivery workers saw reduced income of almost $550 million
