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

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

There’s just as good of chance that Alaskans will be offended by the insinuation that they are too dumb to vote correctly and hold that against Sullivan/Republicans as anything else. They’re putting up boards on windows when the entire house is about to float away in a tsunami.

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.)

TRUMP: The United States, out of respect for President Trump, was not required to give anything in return - an unprecedented situation for Russia TRUMP MOMENTS LATER: If sanctions would have been placed, certainly those negotiations would have come to a complete and total halt

I have greatly enjoyed watching America feel the same things I have felt about Vivek Ramaswamy since the fall of 2003

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

@lawofruby.bsky.social I just watched you discuss the BBC/Trump lawsuit. I get that Smith’s testimony is totally relevant but how would BBC get around it all being hearsay? Trump’s lawyers are correct that all of Smith’s knowledge is based on second-hand information, right? What’s the exception?

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

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.

Jesus man, that was as viscous as it was inspiring. Tommy, take the L, listen to the man, and just cut the shit going forward.

A law signed by Nebraska Sen. Pete Ricketts when he was governor gave $836 million in tax breaks to data centers in 5 years before the new governor stopped it. This wasn't a mistake but how Republicans think the economy should work: economic development can only be achieved with corporate welfare.

Maine, you have a choice: A Senator who helps Donald Trump hurt Maine and then tells us how concerned she is or somebody who will stand up against him before another family in Maine has to pay the price. I owe the people of Maine everything and tonight I'm asking for your vote.

To think they’re trying to make this guy a villain. Not on my watch. 🫡

Victor Wembayana throws his support behind France's high school protests, condemning "systemic inequalities" "I'm happy that high school students and youth in general are making their voices heard -- because me, I hear them and I understand their point of view" www.lemonde.fr/sport/video/...

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) ran this ad when he was running for US Senate in 2004 as a Democrat. The ad touted his support for free college tuition. Note how Kennedy's accent is much less animated.

Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

This shift has coincided with the prevalence of advanced statistics in basically every sport. Doesn’t seem like a coincidence. “Gah, me no want to think. Me like only yell mindless conventional wisdom old white coaches have said forever.”

They booked the little venue next door to the big arena for his rally tonight in Grand Island, NE. Wonder why….

Trump: "The Fake News New York Times 'reported' on my Great, PACKED Rally in Ohio that, 'the place was not full.' In actuality ... The Arena was totally MAXED OUT. What does happen at all of my SOLD OUT Rallies, is people tend to migrate down ... I never have empty seats — Never have & never will!"
