The thing about RFK Jr is that he’s not just a eugenicist who peddles extreme and dangerous anti-science, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories that cause suffering, pain, and death, but he’s also a vile racist piece of s**t
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win
States aren't trophies unless you are a person who only thinks in purely transactional terms
Trump: "Let's all get behind Michele Tafoya in MN. She's running a great race. Don't allow them to play with the Votes after the race is over. The Federal Govt will be watching closely. The only way she can lose is if they cheat. We can't allow that to happen, because I won MN three times ... "

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.
chat I don’t think doubling down on this ad is working out real well for vivek

Interesting what overseas kids Elon sympathizes with and which he throws in the woodchipper.
❗️Elon Musk says “the endless slaughter of Ukrainians and Russians must stop” and called for sympathy for Russian conscripts. “Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes,” he wrote. His remarks come amid an ongoing dispute over restrictions on Starlink and its use by Ukraine.

I realize this isn't a perfect bill, but the amount of money they're spending on blatantly dishonest ads about it is jaw dropping. The billionaires would rather spend hundreds of millions to defeat this bill than just pay a fair share of taxes. A vote for it sends a message on the principle.
Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

With over a decade of evidence about Trump's behavior, how could even the most naive religious leader believe that Trump sincerely wanted their prayers and would not use their presence as a political photo opportunity?
“We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few. We should never have been put in that position by the White House”

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.
Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.
