HOLY PA-01 SCOOP IN POLITICO!! Brian Fitzpatrick's awful ads seem to show a bunch of news headlines. But those deceptive quotes didn't come from actual news reports - they were written by one of his wedding guests, a felon who was once on the payroll of his own campaign, who self-published them!

Self-published articles from a longtime ally are showing up in the vulnerable Pennsylvania Republican’s attack ads.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · yesterday

The Wild West approach to dockless e-bikes cannot continue. I'm setting out my plan to improve safety and data sharing, tackle poor parking and create consistent standards across London. TfL licensing is the key to making these schemes safer and better managed.

This morning — following two investigations into Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford's use of an app that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments and sharing contacts — Bradford called our reporting "inaccurate." We're now releasing the recording that proves our reporting.

Bradford calls CNO reporting of AI app rewards ‘inaccurate.’ Here’s the recording proving our reporting.

Canada’s National Observer has decided to publish the segment of the Zoom call that corroborates its reporting.

something most democrats still dont understand is that "fuck off" is a perfectly valid response to 99.999999999% of the right's criticisms, which are always made in bad faith

You wouldn't know it from reading the headlines, but the president's downward mental health spiral is the biggest story in America right now We won't salvage democracy unless the media and pols start speaking the truth about Trump's damaged mind My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

We need to find the words for Trump’s madness before things blow up | Will Bunch

The media and politicians haven’t pinned down anything resembling a suitable description for a president’s downward spiral or the looming battle for U.S. democracy.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

Republicans everywhere are abandoning Donald Trump. I’m just going to say what you’re thinking: TOO LATE. They kissed his ass, defended the indefensible, and helped build this monster. Now they can choke on the consequences.

John Pavlovitz@johnpavlovitz.bsky.social · last wk.

He is who he is, and his supporters are who they are. Donald Trump is a r*pist. He will always be a r*pist. His supporters will always have passionately supported a r*pist. They cannot be excused for that. They cannot be forgiven for that. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Donald Trump is a Rapist. His Followers Can Never Be Forgiven For Supporting Him.

I honestly can’t think of a better metaphor than the Department of War inviting a guy who padded his boxing records with scrubs right until he got hospitalized by someone who could actually fight

Turning the Triumphal Arch that shouldn’t be built in the first place into a military drone sniper facility is insane. And I can’t help but think this is part of Trump’s plan to maintain power. You can read between the lines on that one.
