Catholic bishops are apologizing after being used by the Trump administration in a "faithwashing" photo-op. Denver's archbishop is sorry you're upset, but beyond that, not sorry. coloradopols.com/diary/229721... #copolitics

This. I will never forgive the national media for putting Trump's long history of rape and sexual abuse on the same moral plane as misuse of an email server.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

it feels truly insane that it’s not

Stares at 7.25% interest rate on a 30 year mortgage, up from just below 6% in February of this year

"Reading books is active resistance" is something I tell to my students every day.

Professional Republicans are creeps who want to inspect your kids’ genitals. Never, ever vote for a Republican.

Not ideal when you can crack open the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and find that every member of the administration is in there somewhere.

If you only read the New York Times or watch CNN, you have no way of knowing this happened.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

This _should_ be a multiple-career-ending scandal.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

the tech industry is about to invent books

The petty-ass bullshit this administration inflicts on people just trying to live their livea is truly something to behold

GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx was mentioned only once at Democratic nominee Phil Weiser’s town hall on 9NEWS. Weiser claimed Marx made a comment appearing to blame women for the domestic violence they suffer. We found the tape. Marx said it in 2014.

His vocabulary is so limited it’s like reading a transcript of Koko, the gorilla who knew sign language, if Koko were a white nationalist

Colorado GOP nominee for governor, Victor Marx, laughs as he recounts a violent fight with his wife: "I remember grabbing her, slamming her into our front door. She bent over and started crying."

I was waiting for the context that might excuse this, and there is none. He thinks he was helping her by demonstrating something. F-ing crazy.

My podcast is only a year old. I'm so geeked to be nominated for this particular episode because it's an episode ERRRRYBODY needs to listen to.

This is not something you say if you actually like education or children

Putting fake USDA inspection seals on packages of meat is some genuine mob shit. Straight up organized crime on an industrial scale.

Requirements for becoming a private school teacher vary by state. We recently reported on a woman who pled no contest to felony child abuse charges in Florida, but was still able to open a school. Here's how you can research private schools like an investigative reporter:

Republicans understand that the Medicaid cuts they voted for are about to cost them. So the lies are getting...pretty desperate. coloradopols.com/diary/228928... #copolitics

good column from @mattklewis.bsky.social but come on, these people should have seen it coming. (today, i'm looking at you, beef farmers in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. you thought they wouldn't come for your workers? well, ICE has quotas to meet!)

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

There are two dieticians on local TV news right now talking about how you can buy potatoes and some cheap cuts of meat to really stretch your dollar and I feel like this is more devastating than any anti-Trump ad currently running.

They also made him sleep on the floor of a holding cell. With the bullet in his back. And no pain medication. They also failed to provide medical care after they shot him. People need to go to prison for this.

Wrote it with Rob Smigel. And yes, it was pulled from reruns.

A Senegalese college basketball player, Amina Seck, is currently in ICE detention. Seck was travelling with her team to a tournament in New York when she was detained by ICE at Louisville Airport. She has been moved four times since her detention. #wnba eu.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...

“If you’re a US citizen you have no reason to fear” – Markwayne Mullin, responding to a video of a teenage US citizen being repeatedly punched in the face by ICE.

Elizabeth Warren and 12 other Democrats have introduced legislation to ban private equity from owning medical practices as increasingly widespread corporate ownership continues driving up health care costs each year.

Your regular reminder -- yes, I'm going to keep on with this -- that Republicans in Congress are just fine with everything he's doing.
