Trump sent the National Guard to Portland to stop “protests” that don’t exist.

Courts said it’s illegal — but the troops are still there, burning through tax dollars. @timdickinson.bsky.social reports.

Meta’s Reality Labs posts $4.4 billion loss in third quarter The Reality Labs business, focused on virtual and augmented reality, lost $4.4 billion loss in third quarter while recording $470 million in sales.

this unremarkable knob routinely sets unholy gobs of money on fire to pretend his boomer sneaker ad company is innovative and interesting, and the press just endlessly normalizes it

if you think that’s what’s keeping left-leaning political takes from being seen on Twitter is that they aren’t being posted rather that they are being actively suppressed by the site’s white supremacist owner, you are either too dumb or too dishonest to listen to, even on Bluesky

America’s Team: the Toronto Blue Jays

A brave young woman asks JD Vance: “When you talk about too many immigrants here, when did you guys decide that number? Why did you sell us a dream? You gave us the path and now tell us we don't belong here? Why do you have to be Christian to be American?”

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

every Democrat in the country should not only endorse Mamdani within three hours but they should denounce and condemn Andrew Cuomo and demand he retire from politics forever

Corporate Media: both-sides want good things for US, they just have different ideas of how to help US

Republican Elite: we want Democrats to suffer & die!

Random Oberlin Freshman: Republicans suck!

Democratic Elite: bipartisanship rocks!

Corporate Media: Democrats need to reign in the left

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

(4) Trump and the Republicans don't have an advantage over Democrats because they *better understand heartland Americans.*

They have an advantage over Democrats because they created their own universe of propaganda outlets, and then went out and bought all the mainstream outlets.

Duh.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Has Mike Johnson ever considered holding his daily presser an hour later to give him time to read a paper?

California to Monitor Trump’s DOJ Poll Watchers Amid Concerns of Voter Intimidation, Election Interference Read more here.

California is preparing to send its own state observers to watch over federal monitors from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. The move underscores a growing standoff between state election officials and a federal government many voting rights advocates say is weaponizing oversight.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

hes not allowed to run for a third term so why are you even asking him

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer

1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else

2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

it will never not be odd that 80 percent of america lives in cities but the only real americans are the rural ones

Part of the reason more electeds and candidates don’t do the “go everywhere talk to everyone” media strategy is because they can’t! They don’t have enough to say. There is not enough substance (and not enough strongly held values) to make the style possible.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Censorship Alert: I published a book about Ghislaine Maxwell trial, and another on Kevin Spacey's trial- this evening I got an email from Amazon's KDP saying they are inappropriate and there all of my books are being taken down, including on Sudan, SBF, Eric Adams

Maybe the single most bizarre belief held by mainstream pundits is this knee-jerk assumption that no one with enough wealth would ever have an interest in cheating or breaking the law to accrue more.

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

Zohran Mamdani has broken the brains of all the worst people.

Excellent.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

The law doesn't state that only the Speaker of the House can swear in Representative Elects.

Get a federal judge to swear Grijalva in and see if Johnson sues to keep her from signing the Epstein petition or taking her office. Put their opposition on record.

“The president demolished the White House.”

“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”

“The president is why life is more expensive today.”

“The president was besties with Epstein.”

Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.
