SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

vance is incapable of giving a straight answer and taking seriously the fact that the question is coming from a place of faith. like, substance aside this is terrible political performance.

Russia was never a hoax

COLORADO — 🔥 @kyleclark.bsky.social grills senate candidate @MarkBaisley for lying about the 2020 elections: “Do you have any interest in answering for the election-rigging lies you stoked?” Why are they all not handled exactly this way?

SIROTA: “Did Gaza cost Kamala the White House?” GOV. WALZ: "We did the most terrible thing you can do in politics — We tried to walk the middle… the idea that criticizing 🇮🇱 is antisemitic is untrue… Palestinian protestors had a point…” (H/T @levernews.com )

Holy shit.

NEW: Emma Joyce died at 3 years old. The next year, her sister Ava Joan died. Then their brother died from the same complication of untreated diabetes that killed Ava Joan. Later, a fourth sibling died. Their parents believed in prayer, not medicine.

I, for one, am *not* convinced that Peter Thiel’s supposed criticism of the second Trump administration is sincere. His fingerprints are all over Trump 2.0, and it’s more than “just” JD Vance. 1/

The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour. This is the statement they published on Instagram:

When you start a business and the creative team & Board are all under 35yo and don’t watch movies ! 🙄😅

Normally don’t do this but wow. Eating healthier is so expensive. No value here. Very thin ! Panera charges $7 for this very sad sad slab of egg, bacon , 5 cheese. Is it one shred each of five cheeses. This place sucks !

. Hey @verizon-wireless.bsky.social When it takes 15 min time into a phone call before you even can even vocalize my problem to a live human being, that’s not how it should work.

When you realize the intro of the famous song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple is the intro of Beethoven's 5th Symphony simply played backward. Mind-blowing. Original post

Incredible @angieforfl.bsky.social Nixon pic 🔥

Both sides? Explain your nuanced approach

A new building went up just inches from a woman's window. Lucia Whalen knew the lot next door to her Wicker Park rental would become a garage. But now, she can’t even put an air conditioner in her window. blockclubchi.co/4wsMNBX

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

Four weeks. Mitch McConnell has been completely out of public view, hospitalized since mid-June with zero transparency from his office. Is he alive? Brain dead? Recovering? Yet DC reporters can’t be bothered to demand real answers or even basic updates. The media’s selective silence is deafening.

IUDs are extremely effective and popular—and will be even more important when Roe falls. It’s time to find a better way to ease the pain.

Bill Mauldin drew this on Nov. 23, 1963.

"The verdict finding Trump sexually abused & defamed Carroll is now final. He's out of courts to shop this to, & he’ll get no more appeals. And since he had to prepay the judgment & deposit it w/the court — along w/interest! — she won’t have to wait for him to cut the check." — @lizdye.bsky.social

There are parts of Brooklyn where the best Jewish style deli food is at halal restaurants owned and operated by Yemeni Muslim immigrants who learned how to make wonderfully authentic brisket, pastrami, and corned beef. It's so perfectly New York and sums up so much of what's great about this city.

Here. You can watch it for yourself. It took 2 bucket cranes and 3 hours to put that name up. But 12 hours and a scaffold to take it down. Someone is slow-walking this.

Living rent free.

These racist motherfuckers burned a cross in Grant Park in Chicago. This is a death threat to the Black community that invokes generational terror. But the coward who slinked away after lighting this is weak, and our city is strong. We stood up to ICE. No one here is about to cower.

There is no President of the United States right now. There is no American government currently. There is ZERO rule of law. We are the only thing holding this place together.

Famous authors asking you out

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

This is evil. Stop sewing these in. 92% say same (wash w like in cold. Duh). Leave it on is always scratchy. Cutting it out can leave a hole or even more scratchy. Grrrrr 😡

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

. @jamellebouie.net I agree w you. The majority of powerful people in USA envy & desire what the see elsewhere. They have no problem with the US poor or nonwhites living on nothing in slums.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Blame the AI that generated the image. Here's the real one. urbanland.uli.org/design-plann...

True reporting/journalism is being destroyed. Dark forces saw it as the last roadblock to their evil ends. Thousands of a dutiful corps of truth are gone. They held the line against facism. The Rich$ knew that buying them out was easiest path. Sad

From the mountain tops!! Repeating for the hundredth time! The stock market/SP500 is not the economy! Both sides fuck this up. Partly why Harris lost 🙄

Reminder that LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER. When ICE comes to your district to buy a warehouse to turn into a concentration camp, commissioners and city council members can make it difficult. Refusal to allow utilities, zoning rules, etc. Vote on behalf of every human in danger of being detained.

Thanks to all the people who rescue animals..😍
