😳 On August 6, Argentina will vote on a proposed Land Reform Law aiming to facilitate the purchase of rural land in Argentina by private investors. It seems they are preparing to “celebrate” with Peter Thiel. The bill was written by Sturzenegger who will appear at this Sept event with Thiel. 1/

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
Completely delusional or not, it makes a great distraction from the non-availability of the Epstein files.
We will be stuck with these reactionaries for generations.
Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 7h agoFormer J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

Good losers (laudatory) are the backbone of a strong party.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 8h 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…
The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful
The message here is for establishment democrats: The electorate wants fighters. People unencumbered by big donors. People who will fight for the working class. People who will stand up to Trump and the oligarchs. Shape up or get out of the way.
Speaker Mike Johnson was the dean of a law school named after a pedophile. He has no qualms about other people’s immorality as long as it doesn’t interfere with his ambition.
If Stevens had made it to the general election and lost in the fall, the argument would have been that the left cost the Dems the Senate. The left is pretty used to the media narrative always being “the left is at fault.”
Faeelin@faeelin.bsky.social · 9h agoIf sayed loses in the fall then the argument will be the left cost the Dems the senate which would be bad IMO
Angry old man shakes fist at clouds.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 11h agoLet's not lose sight of how abnormal this is. Trump is demanding prosecutions over Reflecting Pool fiasco even though his own DOJ has shown conclusively it isn't supported by facts or law. On the pod, @barbmcquade.bsky.social is brilliant on the bigger stakes here: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
This. He's the crazy front man distracting the audience and picking all our pockets, while the moles are busy gnawing the roots of Democracy to death.
We are just supposed to TRUST them? THIS BADMINISTRATION⁉️
Social Media Lab@socialmedialab.ca · 2d ago"The White House says its AI framework is done. It will not say what is in it. The framework gives the government a 30-day preview window on frontier models. The benchmarks are classified. The thresholds are classified. The framework itself is not classified, but it is not public either."
Another creeper sees the writing on the wall. Go for it, @jamie.agerforcongress.com and @abreezeclayton.bsky.social!

Yes, the one who couldn't win a primary in her own party despite a $55 MILLION dollar advantage—much of it from a PAC that would prefer to see the Republican win anyway—is the more "electable" one, the one who can really reach voters. That is a thing people believe.

Bolts@boltsmag.org · 16h agoKansans rejected a measure to remake their supreme court. Missourians refused to phase out the income tax. Voters chose Senate and governor nominees, and in Washington they narrowed the field for supreme court seats. Catch up with the night's results.
I cannot forgive the blatant perversion of justice enacted by Trump via his Dept. of Injustice, which serves only to reward friends and smite enemies.
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · 6h agoA disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.
It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.
