El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

One of the biggest fallings of our pathetic mainstream media is they NEVER demand Vance have to answer for his outright unabashed hateful bigotry. This is the man that started the smearing of Haitians in Ohio. He continues here. He’s never questioned or called out for it. He’s the VP. A disgrace

RFK Jr. is the most Everyone Is 12 Now person in politics today. He doesn’t care about health. He cares about not eating his vegetables because you can’t make him.

“Music publications BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine have been gutted by parent company Veeps... Nearly all the staff at each publication appear to have been laid off yesterday. Veeps, which is now owned by Live Nation, acquired the publications in 2024 or 2025”

I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.

I am seeing this exact exchange playing out across social media. Moulton going so low is turning away voters.

“When John Rocker spoke his truth about hating the Jews, he was met with nothing but scorn and derision. What does that say about us as a society?”

This is wise, and hopefully his supporters and the supporters of his opponent will all model his behavior, rally together, and try to win the seat.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 17h ago

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

In last night's Senate debate, when Seth Moulton was asked about his past comments scapegoating trans youth and whether he believed Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, his evasions were telling.

When the primaries are over you do your best to set aside your grievances at least until after November. It is the most basic principle of partisan politics.

Church of Civic Duty@alexflexnelson.bsky.social · yesterday

Ok listen I think people should really consider that having a preference in a primary is fine and if you preference doesn’t win the more important issue at hand is not whether or not you don’t like but winning against republicans in November.

Not only is David Ellison lying about his film plan, it's not even a good lie

Paramount Skydance CEO and heir apparent David Ellison is very upset that the media landscape can see right through him.

the way the headline is written it sounds like CDC is actually exporting it to more states. which under RFK seems quite possible.

And these lab leak folks never talk about Office of Long Covid being shut down by the Trump admin. Shows how unserious they are re Covid.

Ryan Marino, MD@ryanmarino.bsky.social · yesterday

If you are talking about “lab leak” in 2026, I genuinely think you are an unserious person who does not deserve the respect of a debate

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

Opinion|I Should Run Warner Bros. Because My Daddy - A Very Very Special New York Times Exclusive for a Good Boy

A lot of columnists have lost their minds in recent years because social media has allowed people to talk back to them, whereas before they could say any old vile shit with next to no pushback

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

When Whitehouse is on, he's on. This is a flamethrower.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterday

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

You guys, nominating the person who earned the most votes is now an “ideological purity test.”

Reminder that the malicious prosecution is the punishment. Also that innocent until proven guilty doesn’t mean you can’t get fired/shouldn’t be

Anyway, I think it's worth calling this out really explicitly: the Verge's social media team seemingly deliberately framed this in a way that would get people to fly off the handle, and that is a gross strategy that we shouldn't just wave off

Asher Elbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · 2d ago

Yeah, sorry, but some folks on here just got straight-up outrage farmed by the Verge. This is fine!

This is the movement Sophie Cunningham is part of, and her defenders are helping.

Good framing.

There’s “no look” and then there’s “make your defender question their life choices”
