AIPAC if you're listening I can guarantee you the same results you're getting everywhere for like....80% of what you're spending. Act now and I'll cut it even lower to a pittance of $20 mil consulting fee to not win Senate races.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 21h agoNo matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.
At no point in this long interview does Miller, who's belligerent and stammering and contradicting himself from one sentence to the next, directly deny anything. It's deflecting and ignoring allegations. What an absolute piece of shit this guy is.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:
5 mins in Tapper reveals Miller posted a naked photo of his 2 year old daughter Miller defends it saying it's FROM AN ABUSE CASE! He posted a picture of his naked child from her being abused and then he says it was already public! Like so many Republicans Miller needs to be in prison not congress.

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 4d agoThe man endorsed by Sarah Huckabeast in this video is Arkansas state Rep. Austin McCollum.

I'm shocked that a conman and grifter who runs a "ministry" that's made him rich is unconcerned with trivial things like legal donation limits.

Whole thread is good but a special shout out to "pro bono grassroots stupidity" which I'll be adding to my reserve of descriptors.
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 6d agoTo bring it back to Fasulo (and read the article if you can, it's good!): I don't reach for the "They're getting paid to say that" stick often. Because I do truly believe in the power of pro bono grassroots stupidity.
The stammering is because Jim Jordan loves it when his friends and colleagues abuse women and children. It makes him excited. He'll do whatever he can to help and then hide it. Or at least that's his record of behavior. But he knows he can't say that on TV.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoHoly shit! Jim Jordan is reduced to stammering when Kasie Hunt presses him on why he continues to support Max Miller despite credible allegations that he abused his ex-wife and toddler daughter
Every Republican needs to get the Dominion treatment and be sued into generational poverty until it's no longer normal for them to openly and actionably defame people. Tuberville says he can factually prove Fauci killed 9 million people. That's a lie, unlike "Tuberville actually lives in Florida."

I don't know. Republicans rigging a contest and ignoring objectively correct information in order to reward an inadequate white conservative over an, again, OBJECTIVELY better minority seems like the best distillation of American civics I can think of.
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 2w agoThis story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...
Rather than prosecuting the rampant self dealing, bribe taking, insider trading, and endless corruption we're instead watching as the White House sells access so others can insider trade too. America is not a serious country and there can be no rule of law until every last Republican is in prison.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoThis is nuts: "Trump Media has unveiled a paid-for, licensed data feed that will give banks & trading firms 'the fastest' access to posts from influential Truth Social accounts Trump’s posts on the platform regularly move markets. High speed access to these could be very valuable to traders"
He also collects VA disability while working full time and is a licensed realtor you have to admit MAGA has a type.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 3w agoWOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.
This is about the incipient schism in the Catholic Church but it's also a great summary of all conservative/far right movements. If your ideology relies on never learning anything new and all progress is fatal to it, your ideology sucks and you have the mindset of a 6 year old.
Claire Willett@clairewillett.bsky.social · 3w agobut in the end, as always, it is "you moved forward and we didn't want to, so the betrayal is on YOUR side. it is impossible for us to concede that progress could ever be good. we are morally superior due to never once giving our beliefs a second's examination"

I really like how committed Platner is to showing himself unfit for public office in every conceivable way. All the assorted personal scandals and then throw on "fundamentally unable to work with anyone, even those that would agree with him." Really great work by everyone who backed him.

So they're holding out on the McConnell death announcement until they can say he died on the 4th just like Adams and Jefferson, right? Seems pretty obvious.
So she wants to kick half the people out of the country and also tell women they can either have a job or have kids but never both. Just get to the point and say you want the full country's resources for a literal handful of oligarchs to strip mine. You've got to be brain dead to support this trash.
stranger@strangerous.bsky.social · last mo.Pauline Hanson confirms she wants to end maternity leave, claiming it forces businesses to “fold” Clearly just rubbish. And clearly One Nation want to force women to choose b/w having kids & having a job. Not a policy, a dangerous misinformation campaign. #auspol
Going to need to audit these purchases and see who made millions from the sale of useless warehouses, then claw back every cent plus interest.

If Trump and Republicans have agreed to this, it's nothing short of a full surrender on all terms to Iran. He tore up Obama's Iranian nuclear deal and replaced it with the exact same deal plus full control of the region by Iran plus hundreds of billions plus removal of US assets.

If a skeet could sum up our existence now, I feel like it's this. "I set out to write horror but accidentally studied highly relevant current events" is a great summary of the current world.
Kingfisher & Wombat@tkingfisher.com · 2mo agoQ: Why do you know so much about screwworms? Are you a researcher? Or ten thousand larva in a trenchcoat?!? A: Sigh. No, I’m a horror author. I wrote a horror novel about it. It’s set in 1899 when screwworms were a big deal. I did a lot of research. I did not expect it to become relevant.
It would be so cool if ANYONE in the West at any sort of leadership level understood what's been going on for more than a decade now and then actually did anything at all to counter it. Instead, we're throwing trillions at "AI" run by the same people that want to destroy all democracies.

Good thread and you can copy/paste all the underlying info into conversations around vaccine-preventable diseases like measles. We eradicated it with science, then conservatives eradicated the science, so now it's back.
Your Local Epidemiologist@ylepidemiologist.bsky.social · 2mo ago1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵
My "no one should have jobs" theory is getting a lot of validation from everyone using AI to prove they shouldn't have a job. Using AI to do your job and not even bothering to check its work is peak shouldn't-have-a-job behavior.

This specific type of grifter really blows away any credibility of the whole movement. If she or the cult truly believed this shit, she wouldn't be on stage and if she tried she'd be thrown out. If women only exist as servants to men, wtf is she doing speaking on her own? She destroys her argument.

The SCOTUS has become so bold that they went from "This is the outcome we want, so we'll pretend/twist the law to fit the decision we want to get to" to "This is the outcome we want, so we're not even going to consider lower court rationale, apply the law, or pretend like laws matters for our side."
