midterm payback

If you voted for Trump 3 times, and his policies put you out of business, shouldn’t you be asking Eric and Trump Org for your bailout instead of the rest of us?

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

Kristi Noem is simultaneously claiming she’s in a “war zone” while complaining about the restrooms.

NBC, CBS, ABC, Wall Street Journal, Fox, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and a host of other collaborators are responsible for bringing fascism to America

AS ALL INFORMED AMERICANS HAVE KNOWN for years/decades, FOX IS FASCIST LIES AND PROPAGANDA backed by Putin and the KGB FROM DAY ONE! Rupert Murdock became a Putin crony, like Trump, back in the 1980's, and likely also "Kompromat" in some way. AMERICA, DEMOCRACY, JUSTICE can survive ONLY with TRUTH!!

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

i would love if universal basic income was a thing here because i think disabled people having to go through a horrible humiliation ritual + then get denied anyway + have to go to court is such a twisted, fucked up way to go about things

I am amazed that the media has supported the hijacking of the word 'ANTIFA' to designate a criminal organization.
It literally means Anti Fascist which is exactly what Americans were during WWII. Unless you are Fascist (think Nazi Germany) the word ANTIFA should be a badge of honor.

It was nice just letting them do their jobs. Not worshipping them, buying their tacky merch, or flying flags with his orange mug. Not seeing stupid red hats that scream “I support evil!”

Simple. Times.

I miss it.

Gov Lee statement, including point that half go to families meeting income limits and half to families not within limit

“Evenly divided” here means half of the private school vouchers go to families making less than the ~$170,000 limit, which is 95% of Tennessee families and half go to families making even more, which is the wealthiest 5% of Tennesseans.

Where’s Jeffries? Why isn’t he pushing every day for her swearing in?

Every Congressional Dem should escort her onto the floor, demand she be recognized and sworn in, and force Johnson to get security to remove them. And then do the same thing tomorrow. And the next day. The days of triangulating rules are over.

🚨 Rep. Jim McGovern attempted to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Rep Elect AZ-07, but they would NOT recognize him in the House. He has a candid reason as to why he thinks this happened. 1/2

Pro-tip: the people zip-tying kids or shoving the elderly down stairs are never the good guys.

It needs more cowbell.

Meiselas: Trump claimed that he and the leaders of the Republican Party were speaking with Democrats. Is he being truthful, or is he lying?

Jeffries: Well, as far as I can tell, that’s a stone-cold lie

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

California just signed a new trade partnership with Belgium.

We're committed to expanding economic and clean energy innovation — because California will always be a stable, reliable partner on the world stage.

It’s right there. Now hold her to it. Boycot CBS if she doesn’t hold to these values. I have already stopped watching CBS, ABC, and NBC because of their inability to call out Trump’s lies and dementia. But, for those who still watch, you have power. Use it.

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well.

To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving them—words can’t even describe how backwards that is.

Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.
