i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.

I’m center-left, but hang out at the Nazi bar, and hate when anyone on the left does something that isn’t being subservient to the right. My name is Matty Yglesias.
Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government.
They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.
More than 5 million people have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits since President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill passed last year.

A highly regarded physician-scientist recommended by NIH Director to lead the agency’s mental health institute is no longer in the running. Instead, RFK Jr. favors a researcher who studies treating mental illness with diet—an approach advocated by some in MAHA.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape.
Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.
The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024
Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing?
BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper
Israel’s Foreign Ministry attacking Brad Lander - a self-described liberal Zionist - by name, simply for doing protective presence, should be the final sign that the Israeli government would gladly sacrifice every last Jew in Diaspora to dominate more Palestinians with impunity.
This guy was President of hisCollege Republicans. Here he is opposing Sharia law!
It is amazing how many stories of "ordinary Americans" are Republican political operatives
Vance says "we are not going to attack someone based on anonymously sourced story" - man, you said Haitians were eating pets based on nothing.
A big problem for the Trump administration is that there are no clean hands. At this point, everyone looks corrupt or a hypocrite.

They are destroying the administrative state & throwing all of us to the wolves. Doesn't matter if you voted for them or not, MAGA/MAHA are driving us into a chaotic, deadly, pre-20th century wilderness of no aid for states devastated by disasters; no regulation...

I asked the fraud hotline if they were interested in tips about corruption or bribery and the answer may not surprise you. Basically, if its not welfare fraud, don't bother.
I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...
Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world"

BREAKING:
Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own.
The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.
there’s no middle ground position on this. either musk is forcibly rooted out of government infrastructure or every war proceeds at the whims and dictates of a generational buffoon

Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias, a lawful permanent resident, is the seventh person to die in ICE detention in Texas this year.
While ICE reports his cause of death to be unknown, his family argues that his medical concerns were ignored.
His family deserves answers.
Emphasizing again that we cannot treat this as just business as usual. This is the President of the United States openly attacking an entire ethnic group.
Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."
