honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

Max Miller’s lawyer admits to accidentally releasing ‘private images’ of daughter

Lawyers for ex-wife Emily Moreno said possible “Child Sexual Abuse Material” was included in a trove of documents the Ohio lawmaker publicly posted.

of course at the time it was clear that the stuff with Liz Cheney was trying to ensure said defectors would vote for the anti-trump project instead of merely staying home, and of course the reward for giving MAHA any power is plainly visible this very month in the form of plagues and diseases

the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 2d ago

people comparing courting MAHA to Liz Cheney are very close, except for the part that MAHA is a significant sliver of the electorate and every never trump republican worth having has already defected

Dems just need to do this next time they control Congress and if the Whip needs to use an actual whip so be it

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · yesterday

It’s past time to BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING!  No member of Congress [or the White House] should be trading stocks. Period. The American people deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not corporations and stock portfolios. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.

Buzz, buzz!

“to __ or not to __ “ - william shakespeare, 🐝 keeper

there is an entire industry of people who give their opinion or predict how things are going to go and their entire job is to be correct are they ever correct? rarely. are there repercussions for being wrong, the thing they are being paid not to be? haha no, no there are not

It’s terrifying that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr admitted on national tv that he has no idea how to stop a future pandemic and what’s worse is that he truly doesn’t give a fuck either way. We went from having top scientific medical experts leading US Health to this looney basket.

This is, respectfully, dumb as shit. Tammy Duckworth gave her legs and she’s not using that to excuse her bad behavior

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

Good thread about the history of streetcars as public transportation. I often see really clickbaity "transit" accounts do comparison maps between the early 20th century and the present, saying "look how much transit got wiped out" and...it largely didnt get wiped out. It became busses.

Jake Berman@lostsubways.com · 3d ago

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

Damn me, but all things are queer, come to think of ’em.

ICE is starting to do a lot of secret police stuff for an organization that it insists it is not the secret police.

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 2d ago

ICE has deployed a round-the-clock digital dragnet to monitor its online critics. Is it threat mitigation or an infringement of free speech?

Obviously he has no compunction about making shit up himself, but I do sincerely wonder how much of his understanding of the world is based on subordinates sending him AI imagery he thinks is real.

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

Your movement casually talking about “creampies” is a sign that your movement watches too much porno

GOP candidate Brandon Herrera on moms advocating politically: “Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit they you say.”

Completely unsurprising that he learned nothing and now thinks himself a martyr

"Platner told me he would still do it all again, knowing everything. Serving as a messy public avatar of military trauma and, perhaps, growth, he concluded, was “an honor.” " this article was a wild ride

This is the author's evidence of "the left" hiding "positive" things that Trump has done -- the networks refusing to air a speech in which he spread malicious lies about our democratic institutions. Doesn't name a *single* actual good thing Trump has supposedly done that's been hidden from people.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 5d ago

Opinion: The most powerful sword the left wields against Trump and is omission. Selective silence. Hide the positives, and the American people never hear them.

They’re giving the President of the United States sod level daily briefings? Who’s actually running this country?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago

Trump: "Look at the beautiful ballroom and military center. It's a military center. We have a drone port on top. Look at the grass in front of the White House being all replaced with the top stuff. Scotts. You know Scotts? Scotts Miracle Grow. They do great grass. Got to give them a plug."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

This is the replacement issue for abortion for the right They ran out of juice on the identity politics for it now that they stacked the Bench So they have to run with an issue that has zero effects on anyone but their own imagined fears to get suckers to vote for them and destroy lives

Max Miller is the platonic ideal of a MAGA politician lies, blackmails, beats wife & daughter (& previous GFs), blames Democrats for everything, takes zero responsibility for anything, drives drunk, gaslights his ex & says she has mental illness Oh also ask him what he did on January 6, 2021

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago

New in PN: The right-wing bubble seals in the GOP with Max Miller "When you become the party of Fox News, you become a party whose candidates have no idea how to exist outside of Fox. That's why the GOP's fascist propaganda may, for once, be not a life raft but an anchor when the blue wave hits."

How on earth would one even remove Hasan Piker from the party? He isn't an elected official. Officially being a Democrat requires checking a box on a form. Practically speaking, a Democrat is someone who calls themselves a Democrat.
