Corporate Media would have crucified Hunter if he had a Russian oligarch pay for his wedding while Biden was president, but they will bury Donald Jr. doing it. Easy to become inured to absurd asymmetric accountability, but critical to hammer home to US that Corporate Media is biased for Trump.
I did not realize that Trump Jr's Russian friend is literally the guy who started the hate campaign against women's Olympic boxer Imane Khalif. Holy shit.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 22h agoThat’s him, Umar Kremlev, all the way in the back row. He's the head of the International Boxing Association, a scandal-plagued sports group that has been financed by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom.
The Supreme Court is illegitimate. Period. I don't care how they rule on anything. It is illegitimate.
as don jr and his new wife clutch their pearls about the story that says someone else subsidized their wedding a quick reminder that this is how his engagement to his first wife happened

I said it at the time (and before!), but I truly believe that American voters electing Donald Trump for a second term in 2024 was the dumbest and most self-harming choice made by an electorate in the history of humanity
But far more importantly, the voters make no appearance whatsoever in Justice Alito’s reasoning. He, like the government, does not dispute that using the rule in 2026 would disenfranchise millions of our most vulnerable people. He doesn’t care. It’s despicable and antidemocratic.
Still, I think the Republicans won on their essential goal, which was CHAOS. Put it like this: *I’m* sure as hell not going to mail in a ballot. I might still vote early, but in-person for sure.
Others have said this but it’s truly insane that Brett Kavanaugh, lover of the major questions doctrine, thinks there’s a good chance USPS can use a vague grant of authority over mail processing to radically alter absentee voting procedures in all 50 states without congressional approval. Come on.
It’s notable that the majority says BOTH that Trump’s USPS rule is likely illegal AND the equities counsel against implementing it. Seven justices are sending a pretty clear message to Trump that this kind of sloppy election subversion is a bridge too far. That’s moderately encouraging?
And, of course, Justice Alito repeats the false claim that USPS interference with mail ballots is needed to "better detect election fraud," a statement for which there is absolutely ZERO EVIDENCE in the record.
Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO ALLOW TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO IMPLEMENT POSTAL SERVICE RULE RESTRICTING MAIL-IN VOTING
MAJOR VICTORY: A federal judge just blocked the administration's mail ballot rule in our lawsuit! 🛑🗳️ Vote-by-mail is so safe and secure the president himself uses it regularly. This was a desperate power grab to silence voters—and we shut it down.

Some Dems are running away from trans people. Abdul El-Sayed, Dem Senate Candidate in Michigan, is running towards them. When asked, he fully and unequivocally support trans youth care as a matter between parents, patients, and doctors. Subscribe to support our journalism.

When Dianne Feinstein briefly returned to the Senate in 2023, she was unable to answer basic questions and needed significant assistance to cast key votes. Her staff physically shielded her from reporters. I expect McConnell's staff will do the same, despite it being obvious that he can't do his job
Mitch McConnell expected to return to Senate this week
The former GOP leader has not voted in person since being hospitalized in June.

MCCONNELL SIGHTING… no words, just a slow, pained hand raise… they’re literally doing weekend at bernie’s…
If phrases like "free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag are enough for powerful people to threaten to cancel concerts, then clearly such displays of solidarity are more than just virtue signalling and we would all do well to speak up more; not less.

I asked AT&T Stadium about the Rolling Stone report about how they objected to Macklemore coming to Arlington next month. They didn't comment, but as I've noted they're still hosting Kanye West in November: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
AT&T Stadium, which will host Ye this fall, objected to Macklemore
The Seattle rapper was dropped from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour bill.

Macklemore "every child deserves to live" Ed Sheeran "this is hurtful to a lot of people"
“Abolish ICE” was immediately met with eye rolling condescension and after events proved that policy correct, and support *among Democrats* for it exploded to like 80%, it didn’t move party leaders at all. How is this tenable

Transgender people deserve to have a nice life. That is the entirety of the argument. If you disagree, you’re saying that you do not believe in liberty or justice for all.

It’s alarming how much influence Hasan Piker may potentially one day have in the Democratic Party. by Laura Loomer, Nick Fuentes, David Duke, Thomas Rousseau, James Fishback, and Alex Jones
Rather than getting sidetracked into a semantic debate about anthropomorphism or what we mean by "goals" or whatever, it should be alarming enough that people this callous and comically bent have amassed this amount of wealth, labour power and capital, which is to say the problem is still capitalism
