Ossoff: Blanche is a joke and a hack. These folks are not just corrupt, they're clowns. Here you have a Kremlin connected Russian oligarch giving massive cash gifts to the president's son…

"The mainstream media, is, unsurprisingly, not covering itself in glory as it struggles to avoid saying that either the president’s brain has completely left the station or that he’s a mendacious liar who knows no bounds, or both."

The muted response to Trump 9/11 fantasy is a media failure

It’s not “disputed.” He’s delusional.

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."

the corruption is almost comical. the Trump regime is a government by and for criminals.

chat is it good if your government says "we are using AI to think like fraudsters and we are shutting down hospices"

Dr Oz: "If you use AI to get a bank manager to think like a fraudster and do the things they would've done, it actually works. We're now taking a page from that playbook and using it in government ... we shut down half the hospices in Los Angeles. And by the way, they didn't complain!"

You and I — all of us taxpayers — funded this $533 million artillery plant outside of Dallas. It hasn’t produced a single usable shell. Yet the defense contractor, General Dynamics, has never been held publicly accountable. Nor has it had to pay a penny back… 1/

The revolution turned out to be the one no one saw coming Voter rage at Big Tech - first data centers and AI, now Flock cameras - has already turned U.S. politics upside down ahead of the midterms. But this grassroots rebellion won't stop there My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/vote...

My son just quoted me the bit from SUBWAY TAKES about “Folks who say they like animals more than humans aren’t good people. They want you to think they have this deep, compassionate connection to nature but really they just want an unequal relationship,” and I was like 😮

incredible things are happening at fox news

My hometown created an entire building to house artists downtown in order to bring more art into the city. Every apartment had artists, rent was under $400 for a 1,000 square foot downtown apartment. And it worked and continues to work. Murals started going up everywhere, events, etc.

this is why we cant have nice things pay your artists, pay your craftsmen

Sure, guys, let's create a leftist frame through which it's bad to maintain infrastructure. That'll sure rally people to the cause.

Bessent: "We've seen President Trump last week threaten what would have been the largest military campaign since World War 2 against the Iranians, and now because of that we are in talks with the Iranians. I think there's a chance we may have a deal today or tomorrow to open the strait."

Let's say somebody placed a huge bet against big odds that NOBODY would do something bad to say an orange shitty rapist-in-thief. If somebody bet on something bad being done and bet on it, they would get a big payout. That wouldn't be "hiring" them or "conspiring," right? Just odds. Hypothetically.

These Kalshi people need to meet the guillotine.

The Trump administrations cuts to blue states effectively reclassifies many Americans to second class citizenship based on residency. For example, $2.2 billion in Medicaid is being withheld from CA, which has almost as many Trump voters as TX and FL. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/governing-...

Trump only wants to be President of some of America, not all of America

Kids today have lost the fine art of bullshitting a 10 page paper from a single Funk & Wagnalls entry or from reading only the CliffsNotes. 🤣

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Had a great time at Gencon. Truly adore that the main function is just hanging with other humans and having a great time.

Don't worry about not fitting in, because fitting in isn't an important part of your life. Be proud of being different♡ Your life is shining🌈

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

Booker: "I love the state of Texas, but I'm going to say it very clear: This is all hat and no cattle. It's hard for me to say this as a plant-based guy, but where's the beef? This is ridiculous! We got nothing! No guarantees whatsoever that this slush fund can't still go forward...Dear God, folks."

Endless cycle

Sociology is amazing. Our biggest problem is bad-faith actors who maliciously spurn the field because we teach people how societies work and they'd rather we all stay in the dark. Not today, Satan!
