Trump in Nevada: “Michael Whatley should be your governor.” Minor detail: Whatley is running for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina. 25th Amendment now!

el-sayed won as predicted but um it was supposed to be double digits prob not the best sign he has more work to do than people thought

A narrow AES win is easily the worst outcome for The Discourse, right? Like, I don’t think it matters for November either way, but it matters for the sanity of the next three months

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

Francesca Hong was asked last night by Kaitlin Collins if she still believes Thanksgiving should be canceled. Her answer was not 'no.'

Was trying to do an annual update, but it has come to my realization that Trump wiped everything between FY2024 and FY2026 from the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub. @thexylom.com now has one of the last independent copies of data re: H-1B skilled workers in America's top higher education institutions.

The Most Detailed Maps of H-1B Visa Holders Joining America's Top Research Institutions

A new analysis by The Xylom shows for the first time just how much America’s top research institutions have grown to depend on the specialized knowledge of H-1B skilled workers — and how this delicate...

EXCLUSIVE: A new analysis by The Xylom's @alexip718.com shows for the first time just how much America’s top research institutions have grown to depend on H-1B skilled workers — and how this delicate balance might be disrupted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal immigration.

I think in one sense I agree, but I think it's probably worth noting that paramilitary sub-state violence has a tendency to tilt toward escalatory non-discriminatory violence as people seek to eliminate any potential security rivals. So I think it's fair enough to call for cooler heads to prevail.

I think today's liberals in the US are used to a social environment where pogroms are rare and don't realize the role armed self defense plays in that state of affairs www.history.com/articles/red...

Okay! So hello. My name is Allison Gill. For the last 9 years, you’ve known me as Mueller, She Wrote. I used to have to be anonymous. But not anymore. So, hello world!

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d ago

Changed my name from Mueller, She Wrote to my actual name, Allison Gill. Hoping I can get my blue check back. @joshpetri.bsky.team can you help?

Republicans are growing more nervous as Rep. Max Miller's [R-OH] domestic abuse allegations draw new attention and Sen. Bernie Moreno [R-OH] calls for his former son-in-law to resign. The Hill's Emily Brooks breaks down why the fallout could create an unwelcome problem for the GOP in Ohio.

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

Jeanine Pirro: “Alright goddamnit, I’ll pack up my office, but I’m gonna need about 16 boxes for the booze!”

trump official gets fired for solving reflecting pool case for donald trump may you find peace in not having to think about trump anymore

If Jeannie Pirro got fired tonight it wasn’t because she was shamelessly incompetent and unethical—it was because she shamed Donald by confirming his unethical incompetence.

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.

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."

Today we filed a brief on behalf of the DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA, Leader Schumer, and Leader Jeffries in the Supreme Court. We are supporting the stay entered by the lower court against Trump's second anti-voting Executive Order. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...

no! noo!!!

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

The Trump administration is so opposed to socialism that it has acquired — sometimes by coercion — equity stakes in 30 companies so far. www.cato.org/blog/governm...

Hassett: "After World War 2, bc we had centralized production to defeat the Nazis, there were a whole bunch of socialists in the UK and US that wanted to take over the economy bc they said, 'Look, we've already centralized production, so let's just be socialist.' That's why the CEA was created ... "

Welp… Nicki Minaj entered the Fauci chat. 🤡 This is the same person who pushed the story that her cousin’s friend in Trinidad got swollen testicles and became impotent because of a COVID vaccine. She torched her credibility years ago.

Guys, the best weapons to protect your neighbors from ICE are NOT GUNS They are CAMERAS, WHISTLES, and a well-organized RAPID RESPONSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SYSTEM. ICE is better-armed than you'll ever be. But they like to rely on secrecy, and you can make it much harder for them to be secret.

Before they went MAGA vs after. FRAUDS‼️

i have a very bad feeling el-sayed or steven haley will lose this for us anyone else get that or just me? ties in a swing state when other people(like ossof or roy cooper are getting double digets) is probably a really bad sign hell even james talarico is outperforming them recently

This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.

Fact check: TRUE. ✅ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I'd also just note that Trump always does shit like this when he has a week where it's shown he has literally 0 juice. Can't get the senate to listen on the save act, can't get his AG nominated.

Trump posts meme suggesting he wants to run for an illegal third term, then follows that up with posts suggesting he wants to annex Greenland and Venezuela

In fairness, nothing says “God of the Old Testament” quite like incompetently messing up and then blaming and retaliating against random humans.

trump put a subscription on market manipulation hey sooo when are the websites gonna pop up that will abuse this and get infinite leaks www.msn.com/en-nz/politi...
