This is a job interview. Tennessee voters deserve to have us stand on a stage side by side and hear what we stand for, hear how we’d solve the problems they face everyday. I’m ready whenever you are, Marsha.
See those uniformed police officers applauding Trump while he lusts over young girls? Never ask a rape survivor why they didn’t report the assault to the police.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2d agoTrump: "These young, beautiful girls. These young, beautiful girls. These young, beautiful girls in the White House. You know, they come in. Now, I'm not supposed to say beautiful, but what the hell? These young, these gorgeous, beautiful girls, they want to be safe."
On this thing, at least, I am fully in agreement.

That's objectively true and is the softer, polite version of what they really are.
Alex Ip 葉清霖@alexip718.com · yesterdayICYMI, over the past two weeks, English-language Wikipedia editors have engaged in a successful effort to change the first paragraph of the Republican Party entry to reflect its current status as a "neo-nationalist" political party. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republi...
Any money you give cops or ICE for things like “deescalation training” will just be used to fund more violence. We have known this for YEARS.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoQ: The shock gloves that ICE is reportedly rolling out using the deescalation funding. Is that the sort of use you envisioned when you passed that bill? SUSAN COLLINS: It's not
So we have partisan political police in the middle of a work day attending a political rally in uniform. Looks like Nuremberg in 1936.
If Iran is ultimately successful in its ... endeavor, Trump's ego may prove the X-factor in that success.

Gotta say, it takes some genuine courage to write something critical of Madden nowadays considering who now owns EA. 😳
Game Informer@gameinformer.com · 2d agoMadden NFL 27 can offer up unforgettable moments through gameplay, but when it comes to being the coach/GM of a team or its superstar, it doesn’t fully deliver. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/madde...
There could not be a more blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits any executive branch employee from "Using his or her official title while participating in political activity." Unlikely to be prosecuted, however. Will any news org even mention this? www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/7...

Yessss. More people should be open about rejecting the job here. It makes it much more visible that it really is a choice.

good breakdown on the strategy here - basically, he'd prefer to end up in federal rather than state prison and he might be able to get the state charges dismissed if he pleads guilty here
Mitchell Epner@mitchellepner.bsky.social · 2d agoI’m always grateful to appear on @ctvnewsmontreal.bsky.social to discuss American legal news. This morning, I was on to discuss the impending guilty plea by Luigi Mangione in federal court. His strategy is to use the federal case to get the state charges dismissed on double jeopardy grounds.

At least she (probably) avoided being holed up in a bunker. Which really means that she won't have an opportunity to pop cyanide caps in her sleeping kids' mouths.

the idea that "she pretends to be goebbels but when the cameras are off she's super nice to us"...
There's a lot of Magda Goebbels' strudel in the journalistic profession and that's not good.
NEW— Richard Hanania has become a celebrated “former” white supremacist with profiles and accolades in mainstream news outlets. But as the person who first exposed Hanania’s past, @letsgomathias.bsky.social argues in this piece that his current views on race show an unaccountable and unchanged man:
You don’t have to hand it to Richard Hanania
The so-called "former" white supremacist's work doesn't show accountability—or that he's actually moved on from his earlier views, Christopher Mathias writes.

richard hanania is an unrepentant racist, has always been an unrepentant racist, and anyone who has accepted him into their social circles should be deeply ashamed of themselves
Christopher Mathias@letsgomathias.bsky.social · 3d agovery fitting that on the day i publish this article, Hanania publishes this!
And not only did they push views to the left, they ACTIVELY contributed to and participated in the push for Biden's win over Trump. Another fact that has been erased. And the worst irony is that he and Harris betrayed the cause even during the campaign trail, and definitely afterwards.
