james o'keefe is a generational dumbass

bush was the warmup to trump. the only difference is bush and rove dressed it up to sound more palatable with things like compassionate conservative etc. the underlying bile was the same. trump just said "fuck it, lets be animals" out loud. and they love him more than reagan for it.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has charged conservative influencers Cam Higby and James O’Keefe with felony counts of identity theft and unlawful voting after they disguised themselves and attempted to vote during the state primaries in August.

Dolores Huerta was an absolutely towering figure in the labor movement. Her lifelong dedication to workers is and will forever be an inspiration to us. Rest in Power.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Dolores Huerta, United Farmworkers co-founder and civil rights icon, has died, her family says.

one of those columns of mine you can tell was written in a research library dedicated to the early republic

There is no substance to the Cheescake Factory story. It is purely a last ditch, desperate attempt by a flailing political party to shift the momentum in the midterms by reminding voters of the Republicans preferred attack on Democrats. But news organizations aren't squeamish about amplifying that?

what is the point of the Constitution if “impeachment is not a good idea” for people who have committed impeachable offenses?? Truly! What is the Constitution?

No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor.

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

BREAKING: In a blistering order, Judge Hinderaker details how the Trump admin only has done anything in the case of Ahmed Soliman when ordered to do so. As such, he now orders DOJ to address each of the 11 steps he sees as being needed to bring Soliman back to the U.S.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

Election officials in Alaska are asking a federal judge to "immediately" dismiss the Trump DOJ's lawsuit seeking to block the Senate results, claiming it has "no legal basis." "[T]he United States lacks authority to intervene in state elections at all, much less in support of a favored candidate."

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

four hours of dead silence. two men staring at each other for so long and with such intensity they merge souls. eventually the interview is terminated when a muted cough from a publicist startles everybody

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

this is honestly invigorating—maybe because the US far right has been on the rise most of my life, maybe because it suggests why the far right being unpopular is not enough. mostly: because it gives us something we can do

Vivek might not just have lost the election, but any political future.

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.

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

Your continued insistence that it is a bad idea for Democrats to challenge Trump on issues where he is "strong" in polling because of "salience" cashes out to "Don't bother if public opinion isn't already on your side."

We all complain about headlines too much, but if your headline ends with "the White House said" or "Trump said" you are probably just giving the most valuable words in your article over to propaganda

"big guys, great asses, tears in their eyes "sir...sir" they pleaded "please take this cognitive test again sir" and what am i going to do refuse have u seen their asses"

Corey Lewandowski is under investigating for not giving Trump a taste

This is why JD Vance follows his attacks on Acton by calling her a drunk. The inference is that all child rape victims are drunk, drugged up adults who should be ignored.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

I've been screaming for months for Democrats to do this. I can't tell you how happy this ad made me.

Truly INSANE for them to all double down on this but speaks to their male fragility and their need to circle the wagons to protect pedophiles

oligarch media all the way down and the democrats wont invest in any. we're fucked. www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

The Vivek ad is what happens when an amoral outsider must prove to a political movement centered on protecting abusers that he’s on their team:

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

"I suppose every generation thinks the next has lost its way, but there’s so little artistry to it anymore. We used to spend months figuring out how to make racism look like a perfectly legitimate concern about municipal governance." buff.ly/bEdtrJN

Dark days

Per a database of discrimination complaints obtained by @propublica.org , Trump's Department of Education is actively ignoring reports of rape and assault on campuses so they can instead focus on transgender athletes. Their obsession with trans people is actively putting women and girls in danger.

“I think America is big enough for all of us. [JD Vance’s] view of America is small. It's small like him.” A lot of money quotes in this @gregsargent.bsky.social interview with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, but this is the best one in my view.

He’s refusing to participate in the lawsuit he filed because of the war he started

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

The Columbus Dispatch has just endorsed Acton over Ramaswamy, citing the vile attack ad, and this piece will run in 20 newspapers across the state www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

Vance says he is "a little bit disgusted" with Republicans complaining about the widely condemned Vivek ad on Amy Acton's estranged mother.

In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)
