I guess we’re just going to pretend he doesn’t have dementia until he dies and a thousand insider books come out documenting his dementia.
Craig R. Brittain@craigbrittain.com · 7h agoTrump: "The radical left wants to ban a thing called gasoline. We have a thousand years of gasoline. I ended the electric mandate, I don't wanna talk about it because Elon Musk wasn't thrilled with me."
Serial killers tend to return to the scene of the crime.

A hypothetical here. There are two parties. One party hates me and wants to kill me. The other party only hates me. I’m voting for the latter to make sure the party that wants to kill me doesn’t win. Not voting is a privilege I can’t imagine having.
The fact of the matter is that there are too many white people in this country that would rather bomb black and brown children 1000’s of miles away than feed black and brown children here.
I wrote about how one of the central problems we have in the moment is that the wealthy have grown increasingly used to not facing accountability. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...
The powerful keep escaping accountability. Here’s who enables them.
Philip Bump argues that political allies, investors and public cynicism allow wealthy and influential Americans to operate without accountability.

This reads like one of those Fox News graphics dripping with blood where they post the platform of a progressive Democrat
Watching white conservatives panic at the prospect of becoming minorities—who they’ve assured us have it easier than anyone—certainly is interesting. Infuriating, even.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h agoTuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."
It’s remarkable how they’re allowed to be so openly bigoted AND wrap themselves in Christianity.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 16h agoJD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
Whatever breed is associated with Black people is immediately considered the most dangerous. Used to be Dobermans. Then it was Rottweilers. And now it’s Pitties.
Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
Me too. Van Hollen is atop my short list.
Semafor@semafor.com · 13h agoEl-Sayed wants to replace Schumer atop the caucus with Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. Including him, the list of viable Democratic hopefuls who are threatening to oppose Schumer as leader has reached a half-dozen. Read more from Burgess Everett: www.semafor.com/article/08/0...
This is why Piyush, Nimarata, and Eduardo gave up their given names when they decided to run as Republicans.
Even the lamest people occasionally stumble and land on a good joke, but even that’s evaded Vance his whole life.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 14h agoWe are governed by the biggest jackasses living in the dumbest frat house on your old college campus.
This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoMax Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."
Ted Cruz belongs to a party that actively seeks the end of the world and the media completely ignores it.
Apparently he was flying to Andrews Air Force Base, but I’m not kidding when I say I see Marine One all the fucking time when he doesn’t have anything scheduled. I rarely saw it when Biden was president because he was actually doing his job.
Forbes@forbes.com · 22h agoThe presidential helicopter was involved in a so-called “loss of standard separation,” which requires aircraft to be at least 1.5 miles horizontally and 500 feet vertically away.
This piece of shit can’t opine on his own opinion. I didn’t know I had this much hate in my heart.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 14h agoDURBIN: You wrote an article in which you claimed 'Black inmates are most like to become sexual aggressors.' Why should people of color believe you've changed? CRONAN: I co-authored the article. I haven't re-read it in a long time. DURBIN: Do you believe it? CRONAN: I'm not in a position to opine
Really hoping we’re seeing the end of this anti-woke bullshit. The bigots won a few battles but seem to be on the path of losing the culture war.
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 19h agoIn other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
It’s not discussed, but Democrats get to run using their real names. No Nikki’s or Ted’s for us.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 16h agoEl-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
Tokens get spent.
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 15h agooh my god: a trump-endorsed candidate lost the GOP primary to a guy who suspended his campaign last month: www.politico.com/news/2026/08... trump completely washed, juiceless, cooked, it's over, lamest of the lame ducks, many people are saying it
Instances like this will be extremely useful in the future when current administration officials are being prosecuted and Republicans inevitably claim lawfare. Trump is single handedly proving that the government isn’t able to prosecute people just because the president doesn’t like them.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 18h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
This framing is despicable. His daughter did not fracture her collarbone, he did.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoNEWSMAX: Your daughter fractured her collarbone and there was a handprint on her upper chest, and it left a bruise. How did that happen? MAX MILLER: What I can tell you is I didn't do that. 9 of the 11 previous days was my ex-wife's care. What's so troubling about child protective services is ...
More proof, as if you needed it, that Trump gave millions of shitty people excuses to continue to be shitty and take no accountability.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoMax Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations.

Respect. Now let’s take back the fucking Senate.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 16h agoA gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
