"In the end, barely $13 of your $100 buys real airtime or digital ads." Incredible. Think about that next time one of those "strategic consultants" appears on TV because he or she really knows politics.

A great video on Susan Collins and the illusion of being a moderate republican.

Utter disgrace. These are criminals living on professional corruption of our tax dollars and the lives of Ukrainians.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d agoTrump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”
But between crap like this, endless fundraising texts that drive supporters away with spammy fake deadlines and trash "match" claims, scam PACs run rampant for firms to grift without actually supporting candidates,
Enjoyed seeing this woman's work. Sustainability isn't just about producer decisions, but also consumer decisions, namely their willingness to repair things when needed. This type of repair is easier on natural fibers, rather than stretch fabrics. Consider that when shoppping. IG loosethreadsrepair
I find these announcers absolutely dreadful to listen to. I'd rather they just not talk and listen to crowd noise. #ALCS
One of the odd things about the current era is that sometimes the simplest, or even least important cases, become the best ways to understand it. Here, a Federal Judge has lost all patience because the DOJ has consistently and shamelessly lied to her about a... renovation of a public golf course.
Roger Parloff@rparloff.bsky.social · 4d agoAt 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.
fuck i just realized my wife has never disavowed the muslim brotherhood
"Consider what the American president just told the entire world: 'Please don’t interfere in my relationship with a murderous dictator, or he might help the country that America’s men and women in uniform are fighting at this very moment.'"
Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 4d agoHumiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore
The only surprising part of this fucked up turn of events is that Trump didn’t do it sooner.😡
Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck Donald Trump. Traitors to this country. Traitors to the free world.👇
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 6d agoTELEGRAPH: Trump & Musk conspired to throttle Starlink and make Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks — then Musk tried to blame only Trump. Putin wins again, as usual. Russia was never a hoax. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...
El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social · 2w agoWatch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
In an age where it seems like money is everything, it’s refreshing to have Cleveland and Tampa in the ALCS demonstrating that quality can’t just be bought
Stephen Vogt's post-game locker room speech #GuardsBall
@hits-diff.bsky.social , I listened to the last episode on my flight today. I will give partial credit for us making the ALCS to the Mets for letting us know about the too loud Pitch com! Thank you for your help with this season!
Today is John Adams birthday. Hope we win one for our drummer tomorrow night🥁

Look how fucking brazen the lies from Advance Colorado, the right wing dark money group are in this mail they're sending to Democrats. Every single claim on this mailer is the opposite. Every single one. They even use EQUITABLE to try to trick our DUMB WOKE ASSES into voting for their bullshit.
A frustration as a Guardian's fan, we are never the popular big market team but we are also never the Cinderella team. I feel happy for the white Sox fans who have earned some joy, but boy howdy, 1948 was a real long time ago. Now we get to watch everyone cheer for the White Sox to beat us.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2w agoI feel very happy for White Sox fans who have definitely earned some joy.
Amendment 87 would tax Coloradans making $500k+ a year. Opponents including Gov Jared Polis (D) are misleadingly claiming it will raise taxes on low-income seniors and vets.
