they were really counting on a Democrats-in-Disarray narrative
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h agoFOX NEWS: Will you campaign for El-Sayed? HALEY: I'm a proud Democrat and I'm gonna be out there campaigning for Democrats FOX: Wow
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h agoSleepy Trump hides with the food while leaving his staff and the press exposed to a potential assassination attempt and this is how his cultists respond. Fucking pathetic weirdos.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 10h agoIt’s a cult.
Imagine the endless jokes on Fox if a Democrat did this
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 21h agoWe are weeks away from Trump using a look-a-like at events like Putin.
And Republicans will vote him into office because they have ALWAYS been lying about family values
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · yesterdayIt's official. Republican Rep. Max Miller is staying in his race in Ohio's 7th — missing all deadlines by which he could drop out in the wake of severe domestic abuse allegations.
I can't wait for all the conservatives to weigh in about how this is clearly and exclusively the fault of bad parenting as they love to do in "other" cases
Laura Chapin@laurachapin.bsky.social · yesterdayIt's like a Republican administration actively *not* supporting the troops is simply unfathomable to most media outlets.
ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com · yesterdaycurious how I haven't see a paint blistering media freakout about Trump STARVING THE TROOPS anywhere close to comparable as when Biden ripped off the bandaid in Afghanistan www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
There's a big machine at the headquarters of Republican Inc. that sorts GOP candidates according to the kind of abuse they specialize in. Spousal abuse, child abuse, pedophilia, medical scams, punishing immigrants ... it's a big tent but they all find common ground in the bonds of hurting people.
Kim Weeden@weedenkim.bsky.social · 2d agoAt this point, it may be faster to list the Republican politicians or political candidates who *aren't* alleged or adjudicated domestic abusers, sexual assailants, and/or child abusers.

we honestly need someone to just start punching them right in their smug lying mouths when they pull this shit. it's the only thing that will stop them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTAPPER: It's 800,000 jobs created according to you, versus 2 million under Biden. And economists say two Trump policies -- tariffs and the Iran war -- are weighing on the economy. HASSETT: I don't think tariffs are an issue T: It's not me saying tariffs are leading to higher costs. It's the Fed

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoRoyce White on Fox News: "I'm just having a blast in my feminine area. I never thought I was a woman. I've always trusted science and thought I was a man, but after further review, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman"
I follow Congress pretty closely. I have never heard anyone refer to Tim Scott as Timothy Eugene Scott.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoRAJU: Why use El-Sayed's full name in attack ads? Are you trying to say, 'Hint hint, he's Muslim'? TIM SCOTT: Not at all RAJU: But why not just use the name he goes by? TIM SCOTT: Listen, I go by Timothy Eugene. I get called that all the time.
Jack Quaid is a super nice and fun guy. When I put this screencap I printed out in front of him to sign he broke into a huge grin, slapped the table with both hands and hollered! “YES!! You are my hero!” I’m the only person that’s brought him this photo at this con (so far). w00t! #STLV
Not to beat up on Douthat even more, but I'll just say: it has never, in all of post-war American history, been more crystal clear exactly who your enemy should be. Never. If it's not obvious to you, you are morally & intellectually defective.
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 3d agoIn dishonor of Ross Douthat's last NYT column, I'm breaking my self-imposed ban on reading him—smug bad faith, whiny victimization, and steadfast refusal to let evidence affect opinion—and will screenshot and comment. This is the column if you want to read it yourself (I don't recommend it). 1/x
HOW MANY FAMILIES AND WHAT IS THE SPLIT YOU LYING PIECES OF SHIT
CNN@cnn.com · 3d agoTwenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc

Republicans choose person who is actively defending Epstein criminals and disrespects their victims. Congrats, Republicans. The party of family values is officially voting to protect child rapists.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 3d agoIf you’re just waking up: the U.S. Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as attorney general at around 4:30am ET in a 50–49 vote.
Cassidy lost his renomination for reelection because Trump endorsed his opponent and he’s going to go out on his knees for the deranged weirdo who stabbed him in the back
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoCassidy: "I will vote for Mr Blanche. I will be criticized for this vote. What's new?"

Just hours after Judge Marks denied SPLC's motion to dismiss for vindictive/selective, SPLC filed a motion to compel for records on all the help they offered FBI. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![The Superseding Indictment charges that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)secretly
used donor funds to pay informants “engaged in the active promotion of racist groups[.]” ECF 51,
Introduction. Information in the government’s possession showing the opposite—that the SPLC
utilized informants to disrupt and dismantle these groups—constitutes exculpatory material that
must be produced to the defense. Evidence demonstrating that rather than seeking to conceal the
existence of its informant program, the SPLC actually shared information generated by that
program with law enforcement is likewise material and favorable to the defense.
Documents showing the SPLC’s coordination with law enforcement exist, and the
government could readily collect and produce them. That should have happened without the need
for a request or this motion. It did not. Instead, the SPLC has repeatedly sent the prosecution
detailed letters identifying the type of information sought and the basis for deeming it exculpatory.
Each time, the government has refused to fulfill its obligation to collect and produce that material,
rejecting the particular requests at issue here.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreie35eggizr6rdgeg7yw3blkvm7kosnfi26lb3vqikju3jyqwgnv44)
