Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

LMAO Trump's new AI website confirms that he lost in 2020

🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."
Two Schmitt staffers realizing this might be their last day.
Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."
John Oliver: “The Times had a panel this week of Trump voters who were undecided in this race, and when they were asked to describe Paxton, their answers were: Crook, criminal crook, crooked, bad, amoral, disgusting, morally corrupt, disgusting, corrupt, and womanizer crook.”
Australia has issued a decision stating that "any Australian citizen holding dual nationality who served in the Israeli military during the genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, must be investigated as a war criminal and prosecuted." #cdnpoli
Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

The ICE agent who shot Araujo in a Houston is named GREGORY FEATHERS. Make sure everyone knows.
Texas Tribune@texastribune.org · yesterdayBreaking: The Texas Tribune has identified the ICE agent who witnesses say fired through an open van window and killed 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston nearly three months ago.
I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb
GOP motto: I am not a crook has now become we are all crooks.
Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...
Beyond the fact that it’s incredibly illegal and corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to run political ads on television, there’s another problem with re-running old ads like this: the messaging only reminds everyone what a fraud you are.

Cornell University takes rape so seriously that seven #ChiPhi fraternity rapists (Matthew Ingalls, Jonathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris and Scott Kretzschmar) were punished by having to write an essay. And you wonder why women don't feel safe . . .
Wow - a haggard-sounded Blanche crashes & burns RADDATZ: Trump said nothing about natl security when announcing this ban & clearly you're very interested in what the press says B: What they say is exactly the issue when it comes to natl security R: Give an example B: You cannot be asking that!
The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

“Sir, they’ve figured out that you’re not just a war criminal, that you’re MAGA.”
“I came away from my betting mania with an overarching takeaway: that the “responsible gaming” prompts that were served to me were no match for the product design pushing me to do more gambling.”

What Theodore Roosevelt understood and Franklin Delano Roosevelt perfected is that the President is a creature of the modern media. The attempt by the oligarch to control modern media through CBS and CNN is a product here. This is why a denial to give the SOTU on camera would be a disruption.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 4d agoTrump is raging at news orgs for refusing to cover his reception of Xi after he banned three from the White House. The real lesson here: When institutions join together to resist his abuses of power it actually works, sending him into a helpless fury. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2158...
Remind me again, Senator Collins, how you voted on the nomination of Vought as OMB Director before you claim to object to his rescissions. #MePolitics
Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · 4d agoWe should try having some group of people who get to vote on approving agency heads like OMB director.
