It’s a Klan Rally. These people only have to hear a name that their lizard brains process as sounding Arabic and hate immediately pours out.

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

thus do we understand half the reason for the NYT’s seething anti-Mamdani grudge

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 21h ago

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 7h ago

Reuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be ​unlikely to risk transit without paying."

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

It’s so weird, because we keep being told how passionate they are about “protecting women & girls…” www.mediamatters.org/congress/fox...

"That, I expect, will be the defining feature of public policy (and particularly public health) post-Trump. Not that you’ll be able to trace every policy disaster back to Trump, but that you won’t be able to trace them at all." stringinamaze.net/p/welcome-to...

One of my great frustrations with the media is they know Trump is full of shit on things like this. But because they don’t know if he’s lying or delusional they type up neither possibility. But they should be loudly writing that those are the only two possibilities and both are disqualifying!

The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.

I dunno, but the President of the United States declaring daily a bunch of obviously false things seems like it should be a scandal.

Trump: “My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Media, are the best they have ever been”

So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d ago

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

So that’s the thing to know, if you’re a tabloid that’s going to name-check me in another round of transphobic shit about Bluesky discourse. I don’t stand with you. I stand with my trans friends and family members. ⏹️

For the record: NOPE. Honestly, I don’t think there’s an issue today I care about on a personal level more deeply than trans rights. And it’s rough out there right now. Bigots on one side of the political aisle and too many cowards on the other. ⬇️

My introduction to the WNBA came because I overlapped with Brittney Griner at Baylor. She was getting accused of being "secretly a man" back in high school and STILL regularly gets that accusation, 20 years later. Solidarity matters.

Dex Anderson@dexanderson.com · 3d ago

Imagine playing in a league where numerous of your colleagues regularly get accused of being "men" because of their athletic ability and gender presentation and getting your knickers in a twist about trans people. Could only be a white woman.

you should be in jail, but instead you are describing an incredibly common abuse dynamic where the victim tries to keep the abuser happy to avoid another explosion this guy makes me sick

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d ago

Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

"Senator Moreno, have you refused to say anything because you think your daughter is lying about these allegations of abuse or because you prioritize Republican politics above your own family?"

Bernie Moreno still not saying anything because he’s a gutless sack of shit.

O’Neal helped purge me & all the other Black full-time staff columnists at the Post Opinion Section. I challenged his move to fire me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And he testified against me in June. We are expecting an arbitration ruling soon. Convenient time for him to quit.

STATEMENT ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REFLECTING POOL INFIGHTING

Jfc. Not a word of this is true. Hogg ran for vice Chair. Martin was the *anti-establishment* candidate. Centrists are demanding his ouster because they want money spent on their consultants instead of state organizers.

God@thegodshow.com · 4d ago

Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.

The President of the United States says the US Attorney for DC lied in court papers.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d ago

Trump: “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned …There may have been some contractor difficulty, but major damage was caused by VANDALS!”

They tried to throw an Olympian, who trained and competed for his country, in prison to cover for the wannabe king who destroyed a national treasure with a corrupt deal with one of his cronies. This is why you don’t tell them “welcome home” or vote for their nominees or vote to fund their govt.

a republican congressman allegedly broke his two-year-old daughter's collarbone and he somehow hasn't been run out of congress. there really is no bridge too far for these ghouls.
