why isn’t this a national scandal? @nbcnews.com ? @nytimes.com ?

I figured out who is paying for those “Yes on Wes” / “No on Question 3” ads in Maryland. It’s a dark money group called “Progressive Prosperity Caucus” that’s been involved in Wisconsin and Nebraska. More details: www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

I swear to god those neighborhood punk kids who called me “juiceless” and “slop-coded” last year are similar to every single teenager in this country in that they I am of the opinion that they should be jailed in a maximum security prisonindefinitely.

Argghhhggg goddamn it!!! I get that a lot of you guys think it’s “adorable” to let your dogs drive for just a short errand or whatever but it is incredibly unsafe and could potentially kill many of us on the road!

As if Atlanta traffic wasn’t bad enough. I’m sorry I doubted you @internettheo2.bsky.social

The only thing he points to that AES said as opposed to what someone he associates with AES said is that Gaza is genocide. The official il Pomodoro position on that is: tough shit.

People like to dump on the Dems for talking about bipartisanship but it’s Boomer’s one actual belief

Yes haha yes

Funny, I don’t remember drumbeat coverage in the Times about damning reports that Susan Collins took bribes (and that Trump then shut down the FBI anti-corruption unit investigating her). www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

The FBI Anti-Corruption Squad Was Circling Susan Collins — Until Trump Got in the Way

After the FBI caught a defense contractor’s CEO making illegal campaign contributions, it sought to launch a sweeping political bribery probe involving Collins and others. Then the second Trump admini...

They are doing "drumbeat" coverage on Alaska. "Politician denies thing but we imply the denial is bullshit" is a classic way to keep a story in the news, absurd here since even if she knew, so what?:

All you need to know!

Ugh I don’t why I thought it was a good idea at the time to buy a carving pumpkin without a stem.

Pretty wild that ProPublica dropped an unbelievably damning article about pay-to-play corruption by Collins and the entire national political press conspired to make it go away.

People are saying "how come the new rape allegations against trump didn't merit this kind of coverage" which is totally fair, but I'm also like- what about the susan collins bribery scandal? That is a million billion times worse than this! She was basically caught red-handed!

The last time the UK invaded Eastern Europe was 1918, and it left within 2 years. The last time Russia invaded Eastern Europe was 2022 and it's still there.

Paris Marx@parismarx.com · 2d ago

Imagine saying the reverse and thinking it makes any sense: “Having Russian planes on the UK’s border reduces the risk of war.”

If the evil Frank Thorpe manages to weasel his way into becoming our mayor and pulling the levers of power here in Burbank mark my words the sun shall never rise again!!!

There has been more ink spilled by the legacy media on the ballot stacking in Alaska then the president trying to end the citizenship of a lawfully elected representative

As much as I love Burbank what other choice do I have but to completely obliterate it destroying everyone and everything in it if that is only way to prevent Frank Thorpe from assuming the levers of power in the dark reality where his mayoral campaign succeeds? Isn’t that my only logical option?

These awful policy ideas from Frank’s threatened mayoral campaign for Burbank are all basically just textbook examples of Sharia Law

Frank Thorpe@frankthorpe.com · 2d ago

1. I would bring back Frank’s Restaurant to Burbank after someone probably got it shut down for nothing 2. Frivolous calls to the police like reporting skunks would mean instant prison time 3. Turn the Burbank airport into a Dave and Busters 4. Bulldoze the dome and turn into a new caveman statue

The choice in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race is clear. Vote Abdul El-Sayed.

the response to this was hilarious because basically everyone saw it but the apologists were like "actually there is a rational non-invasion reason for this"

Nate Schenkkan@nateschenkkan.bsky.social · 2d ago

How did we know Russia was going to invade Ukraine? There were a TON of Russian troops mobilizing at Russia's and Belarus's borders with Ukraine for months.

We had months of debate about it and then Putin got on TV and gave an hourslong lecture saying Ukraine doesn't exist as a country and then they invaded and you had people who had been insisting it wouldn't happen were like "right or wrong who's to say"

This is the most atrocious and disgusting thing I've seen from a "endorser" maybe ever? She spends literally 90% of the statement criticizing Abdul and implicitly calling him a bigot, which she explicitly did during the primary. Why does anyone take this seriously?

I really hope people manage to observe and draw some conclusions from how the very first time they’ve seen Dems actually do some ratfucking instead of being the victims of it is also the first time media is treating it like a scandal.

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 2d ago

CNN really going with "SPOILER SCANDAL?" they are trying desperately to save the senate for the oligarchs like CNN's new owner

have said it several times but worth saying again: the funniest possible thing is Nixon winning and forcing racist elderly people to have a black DSA senator for 6 years. i mean....it really doesn't get much better

Polling USA@usapolling.bsky.social · 2d ago

Florida Polling: Senate: 🔴 Moody: 49% 🔵 Nixon: 47% Governor: 🔵 Jolly: 48% 🔴 Donalds: 46% Angie Nixon Internal / Oct 2026

A big difference between those is that Uncommitted was desperate for understandable reasons and so they had to play the bad hand they were dealt. (I still believe they played it poorly.) Stevens and her peers pulling this is desperation on behalf of maintaining the status quo on Israel.

WildPartyInviteDecliner@ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 2d ago

I find Haley Stevens's behavior tremendously annoying in the same way I found Uncommitted/Tlaib's behavior tremendously annoying, which is to say this is whole dialogue is dominated by annoying hedging and a lot of you idiots deserve each other.

There is an ongoing B Plot to my day at the office today where I’m trying to avoud avoid any degree of interaction with any coworker wearing a costume.

I activate my TheoCoiners nationwide and you won’t get your precious little “Blue Wave” hahahaha

The degree to which a thing I disagree with went from “infantile overstatement” to “similarly infantile characterization” is a case study of….

basically impossible to avoid concluding that AG Sulzberger at a bare minimum wants a Republican Senate

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 3d ago

BREAKING: DOJ has filed an amended complaint in US v. Alaska, adding multiple paragraphs detailing the NYT's reporting into alleged Dem ballot recruitment efforts (while nonetheless dinging the paper) and adding a preemption count (second image). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If I can activate the large silent standing army of TheoCoiners maybe I can help stop this stupid “blue wave” you idiots want.

This is Clinton emails thinking and look where that got us. The problem is not with the existence of some conceivable article on this but with the actual way the reporting is framed and the context of how other things that are similar or worse get reported

Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · 3d ago

People who think the Times shouldn’t report on who is behind a Potemkin candidate should really ask themselves if they’d feel that way if such a move might hurt a candidate they favored. This is not a “hit piece” or an “October surprise,” it is journalism.
