Any news outlet that spent even one segment or one article on "Joe Biden is old" in 2024 should be going wall-to-wall with stories about the dementia-ravaged 80-year-old who keeps posting AI garbage and telling insanely obvious lies about himself. And yet
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h agoTrump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
A powerful message this #LaborDay from Pope Leo XIV: The center of work is not capital, market laws, or profit, but the person and their family’s well-being. This is a timely reminder for us to re-center our focus on human dignity.
Good thing he's not a Twitch streamer without any formal role in government or his entire political party would be compelled by the media to denounce him. Just a Nazi working in the State Department. No big deal!
Edward Wong@ewong.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Nate Hochman was fired from the DeSantis campaign in 2023 after promoting a video with the Sonnenrad, a Nazi symbol embraced by white supremacists. He now works in Rubio's State Department, as deputy director of policy planning and chief speechwriter. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/u...
The guy literally led Grassley and the SJC's confirmations, and covered up a ton in working directly with the WH to get Kavanaugh through.
'Unfazed and determined': Top Grassley aide vows to confirm Kavanaugh despite allegations
"Unfazed and determined. We will confirm Judge Kavanaugh. #ConfirmKavanaugh," read screengrabs of a deleted tweet sent from Mike Davis' account.

Remember that they did the same within the states--lots of people kidnapped in MN were robbed in TX before being sent back with nothing.
Adam Sawyer@adamjst.bsky.social · 2d agoIn the years to come, officers at DHS will claim that these kinds of situations can be chalked up to mere administrative error. Speaking for myself, I will not believe them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/w...
There’s no place for political violence in America. Our prayers go out to Dr. Acton and her team, and we hope that this moment is yet another wake up call regarding how important it is to make sure that democracy is a process by which we address our political differences peacefully.

Democrats really need to call out what's extremely problematic about Musk aside from "he's rich." I think a jaded public is not shocked that rich guys buy elections, you need to walk them through why he wants to buy the election. With Musk, it's not just about his taxes.
Both of my kids have benefited immensely from CHOP — my daughter had surgery for thyroid cancer there, for instance — so I would like to take this moment to tell Senator John Fetterman to go fuck himself
Ironbound@ironbound.bsky.social · 5d agoMan this guy sucks
Again, I am just a man standing in front of the Democratic Party, begging them to make a bigger deal of this deeply unlikeable racist billionaire asshole who is constantly pushing things everyone loathes.
Jesse Lee@jessecharleslee.bsky.social · 5d agoAs GOP postures against data centers, here’s what their moneyman Elon Musk just demanded at G20 on data centers: “It is pretty straightforward, you have to have an environment that is relatively free of regulation. New things must be default legal instead of default illegal.”
This is why most faculty cannot make sense of the 'woke' University trope. Our lived experiences bear little resemblance to it. This is far closer to the norm.
Chokely Carmichael🥋@stewartcoles.bsky.social · 5d agoUW-Madison professor engages in multiple sexual relationships with students, disparages another over their sexual orientation and appearance, creates hostile environment, and department leadership covers it all up. And in true “pass the trash” fashion, moves on to ASU once forced to resign.
My latest YouTube video is up! This one's about the media obsession with Hasan Piker vs. the silence around Elon Musk funding Republicans while being awful

We've seen the media's asymmetrical love of this bite in two ways. The first is that this is deployed only against progressives who say things that upset the status quo. Dogwhistled racism *is* the status quo, so that's just dandy. The second is that the GOP can simply refuse even when demanded.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 5d agoIf the media is going to insist that politicians denounce their supporters who make extremist statements, I have a suggestion for someone a bit more important than a Twitch streamer.
Has Mike Rogers disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ken Paxton disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Mike Collins disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Jon Husted disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Susan Collins disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ashley Moody disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ashley Hinson disavowed Elon Musk yet?
Um, someone might want to tell Bill Pulte: this is what mortgage fraud actually looks like…I bet it is carnage in those mortgage applications.
James Downie@jamescdownie.bsky.social · 4d agoHope y'all are sitting down for this: "Paxton...reported owning seven homes but said he earned no income from any. Yet all but one was listed for rent during the reporting periods, and some current residents and neighbors at those addresses confirmed that the properties were rented."
