Announcing the merger with Titanic footage is an incredible bit
They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.
Oriana González@oriana.bsky.social · 10h agoSCOOP: White House officials, led by Susie Wiles, have told DOJ to delay any abortion-related action until after the midterms Wiles suggested to Todd Blanche that an aggressive approach on abortion would be negative for the GOP in November @washingtonsun.com www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/ab...

It was actual genius to invent a store that immediately possesses the bodies of other dead stores and name it Spirit Halloween.
Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
Ah, yes. The willingness to bomb your counterpart is the hallmark of every "good businessman."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoQ: You described the Iranians you're dealing with as 'crazy.' How do you get a deal done with the counterparts are crazy and irrational? TRUMP: Maybe you blow them up. Maybe you blow them up. We have to make that decision. We blow them up. The time is coming.
One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.
Jim Lokay@jimlokay.com · 3d agoIf you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway
The moment Jack Smith realized Eric Schmitt was talking about the wrong game.
He's still running with this. This guy's big midterm election sales pitch is to bribe voters with their own money.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoTrump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."
Never sell anyone out. In fact, if you're asked about banning 12-year-olds from softball, just say, "You're asking me to sell out kids for my political career. I'm not going to do that. Let's stop demonizing people in tougher circumstances than you or I will ever experience. They have guts."
VoteHub@votehub.com · 5d agoNEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”
Hey, 2028 @democrats.org candidates! If you pledge to tear down every monument this man builds for himself and make him pay back every taxpayer dollar spent on this bullshit propaganda, it will get you votes.

"Obama tried to freeze Fox out" is a complete lie and it's incredible that Jake Tapper feels the need to both-sides this
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTAPPER: I would ask if you could convey to Trump to let CNN back in the pool. It was not okay when Obama tried to freeze Fox out. I don't think we want a world where presidents get to decide who covers them WALTZ: We need fair, objective, & well-sourced reporting. I've been victim of this nonsense

Not holding people accountable is how we got into our current shitstorm. An absolutely boneheaded and infuriating take by Duckworth.
Meredith Shiner@meredithshiner.com · last wk.I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.
Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"
some people replying and saying ed sheeran can’t take the same risks as an established legend like david byrne, but then you look at olivia rodrigo who is 12 years younger than sheeran and just organized an entire festival to support ABORTION. bravery has little to do with age/experience.
There is so much GREAT stuff in cinemas right now. You can't go wrong with COYOTE VS. ACME, BUDDY, RESIDENT EVIL or OASIS: DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER.

honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care
UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges
For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
