media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment
Again folks, just need to keep pointing this out: the traditional corporate media covering politics essentially drove Biden out of the WH for this. ↘️
Trump in Nevada: "Vote for Michael Whatley, by the way" (Whatley is running in North Carolina)
It really seems that his objective is to destroy our country.
So it turns out this guy was in all likelihood a sick sexual predator; had no idea he had groomed his Once co-star from age of 12 & dated her 18-20 Sorry to contribute to media whitewash my bad
RIP 56 yo Glen Hansard and prayers to his wife and 3 yo son Appeared in the commitments @ 21 then worked his way from busking into heart of the spotlight So happy he got to make it but saddened so all the work he put in to grab the gold ring he only gets to scratch the surface of success
the biggest presidential scandal in history. jeffrey epstein was a close friend and business associate of trump and they did crimes together! against children! its all pretty much out in the open now but its a smaller story than hillary's email server was for some reason
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
Face it. The Court is captured by right-wing billionaire interests, just the way railroad barons used to capture the railroad rate commissions, or mining barons the mine safety commissions. Look up “regulatory capture” or “agency capture.” thehill.com/opinion/judi...
Just admit it: The Supreme Court is political
Let’s face it, the Supreme Court has dug itself into a hole, and it just keeps digging.

Aside from everything else (phishing, cover up) is idea that this is a lawsuit-creating machine of unimaginable magnitude and real challenge to AI valuations iyam
Anthropic AI created fake profiles to deceive people in attempted hack

Do the wealthy have the money to lose in elections and also pay the incipient wealth tax cuz if bot maybe they should stop Musking their money down the drain

Over $60 million in superpac spending couldn’t buy the election for Haley Stevens. Unlimited spending can’t cover up the liability of being against abolishing ICE and voting to thank them. Next Tuesday Minnesota can send the same message by voting against Laken Riley Act supporter Angie Craig.
Recently read a skeet on here that was like "It's theorized men are more vulnerable to LLMs/chatbots because women are more thoroughly socially conditioned to be instantly suspicious of fawning, complimentary, compliant attention," and. Thinkin' about that, tonight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtvI...

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, BofA Enabled Epstein, Wyden Report Says
Democrat Ron Wyden cited nonpublic documents held by the US Treasury in a report that says banks delayed reporting suspicious financial transactions and calls for tougher anti-money-laundering rules, ...

Man, we are about to see some *crazy* panicked attempts at voter suppresion in this state
yall remember the Texas Fox News poll? yeah it’s real. they’re on the money
Not good timing, but some extremely important points in this now unredacted part of the 2024 Autopsy: -loss more about Dem turnout decline than swing voters -Dem consultants extracting huge $ for bad advice -Biden shouldn'ta run -spam PACs ruining fundraising www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...
Author of Democrats’ 2024 Autopsy Says Party Left Out Key Chapter
A dispute over the chapter between the author and the Democratic National Committee has added to the party’s turmoil as it tries to look forward, not backward.

Should be a huge scandal. And yet we know it won’t be.
“A careful review...suggests that the United States has killed individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking," Kaine stated.
Undeclared War is frightening “fiction” tho the pacing is way too British
Recently, someone asked online if Pinky and the Brain were still trying to take over the world… because they thought that they could do a better job than a certain orange felon. That prompted me to share this cartoon that I drew years ago.
I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"
I learned this from a 1980s book about conspiracy theories (some true, some not) and it totally blew my mind. It still does
Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
and this is to say nothing about voting for funding without any new restrictions on ICE, DOJ, or Trump's conduct of an illegal war -- also no commitment from Rs not to go ahead with reconciliation 3.0 in addition to this money...?
United Democracy Project, an AIPAC-affiliated super PAC, is running YouTube ads featuring an AI-generated Trump assisting Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan campaign. “Don’t Help Trump’s Candidate,” the ad warns. Meanwhile, United Democracy Project’s largest donor is Paul Singer, a major Trump fundraiser.
Watching all the R horrors today—RFK lies, the accused abuser Rep, Trump and war crimes—and thinking about why things don’t change. Dana Bash won’t hold people accountable, Biden didn’t, Dem leaders are about to cut a budget deal with Rs. No wonder outrage fades. We need accountability.
The severity of this case, partly because it was happening at the same time as the coup case (and everything else) was and is grossly underappreciated. Part of the problem was people on the left noting that lots of government info is over-classified. And that's true, but it's kind of irrelevant.
The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.
