Every taxpayer, no matter your party, should be outraged by this. Your money is being used to fund campaign ads for Trump. It’s totally completely illegally. He’s stealing your money for his campaign. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/u...
‘Love Me’ Ad Promotes Trump With Public Money Ahead of the Midterms
A disclaimer says the ad was paid for by the U.S. government, which could violate federal law.

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.
NEWS — At TribFest, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) appears to misspeak, calling himself a “lifelong Republican,” and declines to commit to being the “51st Democrat” if Democrats win the majority. “Let’s revisit after the midterms, and let’s see what happens if I happen to be 51.”
This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

The orange felon went to Tennessee today to see a football game on taxpayer dime and Tennessee lost. His death curse continues unobstructed.
The GOP has controlled Texas for more than a generation, but we’re five weeks away from changing that.
On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.
The fact that Talarico is polling so tightly with Paxton says some really awful things about Texans, not to mention Americans in general.
The capitalist injustice system has created incredibly powerful men who will never see the inside of jails or prisons. Sad truth.
So much of what we are confronting today is best understood by the actions undertaken by white communities in response to integration orders. White supremacy is a form of democratic nihilism. Every institution, norm, and value of democracy will be sacrificed for it. calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

Larry Glickman@larryglickman.bsky.social · 4d agoElite universities mea culpas about the “loss of trust” in higher education so often fail to consider the force of the longterm propagandistic attack on universities, given extensive play in conservative media, that long preceded Trump, but which he has massively accelerated.
This is a book about how completely unprincipled attention hounds will always make their way to the right because they know the right will have them. The NYMag piece? I guess that’s a story about how unprincipled attention hounds deserve attention as long as they’re shitting on democrats.
New York Magazine@nymag.com · 6d agoEvan Barker quit the Democratic Party and voted for Trump. Now she’s telling (a few) stories about what she saw in a new book that mixes gossip and condemnations of ‘woke.’ Her old colleagues aren’t happy.

It's Ed Sheeran weekend at Gillette and the forecast is rain all weekend. A huge nor'easter is coming. The Red Sox are talking about moving their Saturday game to Tampa, that's how wet it's going to be. Good luck out there, Ed! Free Palestine, bitch.
Angie Nixon was arrested & fined $250 for protesting DeSantis' injustice. Ashley Moody worked with DeSantis to steal $10M from children who needed it for their healthcare. Florida: Elect the woman who fights power and injustice, not the one who is corrupted by it. Vote Angie Nixon for US Senate.

Jill Stein sure can sell Kool-Aid, but she can’t spell it.
This is why messaging for each Congressional race should be simple: "[Republican] supports the war in Iran, which has cost two dozen American lives, 50 billion of your tax dollars, and sent gas prices through the roof. [Republican] stands by Donald Trump and together they've made life worse for you"
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 5d agoRemarkable: An Iowa right wing radio host just leaked word that GOP polling shows House Rs in peril even in districts Trump won by +10. The culript?

Yes, Democrats should try to defund Stephen Miller's "Office of Remigration". Dems should swing for the fences on immigrants & refugees in general. MAGA will be weak on these issues for at least the next two years. Use the time to build rhetoric and a movement for liberal immigration.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 6d agoStephen Miller’s Office of Remigration was deliberately named to announce to the world that white nationalism is now the basis for US immigration policy. If Dems win power, they should defund it. They should also defund third-country deportations. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2157...
When you take away rural healthcare and make it too expensive to drive three towns away for prenatal care, people become unhappy. Too bad conservatives can only learn from personal experience.

anyway my hot take is that while I adored Breaking Bad and am okay seeing it on top of the list (though The Wire should have been #1), Better Call Saul is a better show also Deadwood should be in the top 10
