There's zero doubt these people are going to jail for a long, long time if they ever lose power...which almost guarantees a coup attempt

The U.S. birth rate fell to its lowest level ever recorded, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The drop would have been greater, but women over age 30 are having more children. n.pr/3WzQKsl

I'm disturbed to learn of Brent Taylor’s pattern of sending unsolicited nude photos to multiple women. The fact that he would dismiss his behavior as “youthful indiscretions" despite it happening recently, in his fifties, & while he held government office is ridiculous. More⬇️

Why would the BBC*, Britain’s State TV, cover-up that horrific crimes were carried out by a former elected member of the far right Tory Party? *British Blackshirt Corporation, as some now nickname it, for its systemic transphobia & homophobia.

Just like a circuit gay, Jon Husted has to get ready to be viewed by the rich and powerful.

Husted: "The president is coming in tomorrow again to Ohio. Don't worry, I was in the weight room this morning working out. I don't want to let him down."

I'm kind of surprised the FEC still had any public web facing services. It's been deflated and castrated in the last 20 years.

This is Trump admin fearmongering and an obvious attempt to preemptively sow doubt about election outcomes that favor Democrats. ELECTIONS ARE RUN BY THE STATES, NOT THE FEC. Don't fall for this.

On March 18, 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio handed the reins of the US Agency for International Development to Jeremy Lewin, a 28-year-old graduate of Harvard Law School and DOGE affiliate. But USAID HR said he was not onboarded.

wired.comA 28-Year-Old DOGE Operative Gutted USAID. HR Had No Record of Him Working ThereDespite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

@rbreich.bsky.social : "Democrats ought to “defund Musk” and lay 'the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX.'" Hearing that, "free speech advocate" fElon came out of his K-hole, puffed up his pasty chest, & threatened Robert Reich. Musk sweaty? Hand him some Old Spice. 🧾 t2m.co/SLuarum

As the article notes, he's running for the House in TN's gerrymandered 9th District against @justinjpearson.bsky.social, who was only four points behind in the polls when this story broke. Might be too late to pull it out, but wave elections can be tricky. If you're in the area, get involved!

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

A former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993, according to her account to Congress. Trump has denied the allegations.

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

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
