This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

One thing you’re seeing in the homestretch in both the Senate and the House is that a bunch of these “safe seat” Rs adapted to compete in an entirely intra-Republican ecosystem and are 100% unprepared to navigate an actual general election

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Kristan Hawkins and Students for Life are being sued under one of Texas's bounty hunter laws for buying abortion pills. Mother Jones caught their dumb public stunt on camera. It's the very definition of being hoisted by one's own petard. Classic. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

Equatorial Guinea is a dictatorship run by the same man since 1978, with his children running large portions of the state now. We paid this dictatorship millions of dollars to let us deport random people there. Our money was used for this inhumanity.

I remember when Bill Clinton met with the Attorney General for three minutes when Hillary was being investigated for mishandling classified information, and the republicans cried bloody murder. Now, the AG nominee is covering for pedophiles and that seems okay. WHAT THE FUCK?

BARTIROMO: Last time we spoke, you told me you were expecting 4% growth in the second half of the year. The number was way lower. How would you assess that? HASSETT: The reason why the number was 1.5% was because we imported so many capital goods because we're building factories so fast
