What are the odds Murkowski ends up caucusing with Democrats in 2027?

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice ordered a police investigation into alleged ties between a donor network co-founded by Vice President JD Vance and the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the run-up to Sunday’s election.

this is such a great slogan. all this money in liberal world and this normal woman just hits a homer right out of the park. "socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!"

Watching politicians who rode the “tough on crime” magic carpet to power absolutely cringe at the thought of investigating the president & his cabinet is something else. I guess if the targets of the prosecutions aren’t poor & powerless, they’re just not interested.

impeach them all. fuck em. why should they get to fly around on our dime and hurt people? “they’ll never actually removed from office” who gives a shit? I want them miserable every day for the rest of the term. I hope they have nightmares. air their dirty laundry. make em sweat

This is his Oppositional Defiance Disorder talking. Someone said that it's bad to say this so he reacts by saying "Oh yeah? Fuck you. I'll say it over and over againand there's nothing you can do about it." He knows his rally cultists are just there for the hate ritual and w/cheer anything he says.

This was a Likely R race that turned into a Likely D race in a few months and everyone is just like “yeah sure of course that happened” What the hell is going on up there in Alaska lmao

I love how a guy absolutely no one has heard of is just randomly going to be the Democratic governor of Alaska

From the guy who claimed Haitians were eating pets, and he knew it was lie. Vance is, by far, the most unctuous Republican out there --- the king of smarm. He knows his Dear Leader is out there calling Somali-Americans low-IQ. "shithouse" people and saying El-Sayed's a violent jihadist. Asshole

LAWS! LAWS EVERYWHERE! I WANT EGOT LEVEL THEATRICS. I WANT ARTICLES FLYING EVERYWHERE.

"the elections will continue until democracy happens" is a perfect problem

Sorry you can’t boast all your tough on crime AG creds to then be like no sorry no punishment for crimes

Losing an election is not grounds for asylum. apnews.com/article/braz...

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

It’s vastly underated that one of the main reasons the far right hate Zelenskyy so much is he stayed & fought for what he believes in while they go from posting like this to fleeing the country within 48 hours

“As I write this, the Washington Post has published at least 4 articles about Obama’s Cheesecake Factory line, and 0 articles about a new allegation of rape against Donald Trump, who has already been found liable for sexual assault.” — @jamisonfoser.bsky.social www.findinggravity.net/more-women-h...

“Her brother said he didn't see marks on Marin's neck at the hospital. As he took pictures, an immigration officer standing guard tried to make him leave the room and delete the photos. Hospital staff defended his right to stay in the hospital room, he said.” Barbarism.

We uh needa talk more about how Arizona GOP’s entire party is very possibly going to be sent into the wilderness Yee losing destroys their competent statewide bench

👀 👀 👀 Another no bill in D.C. federal court today. We're out to some lawyers...

Reminder why the most secure election strategy is lack of centralized control. Much harder to hack 120,000 systems in 120,000 locations than one great big poorly defended database staffed by the biggest group of mouth breathing trolls you've ever seen

To be clear, other Israeli media views this as a center left rout of Netanyahu. Remember too, these are just exit polls, not results.

Nate Silver provides yet another opportunity to reflect that in the previous Congress, Nancy Pelosi had no trouble keeping the government running with the same number of seats as Mike Johnson.

Todd Blanche—the President’s personal lawyer—went to a prison to arrange hush money to be given to a sexual predator and place it on the record, because he knew that the Republicans, who control Congress, would nominate him to be AG anyway.

This right here was the most damning part of the report; Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell to signal to her the following: (1) we know that there is material related to Jane; (2) we know that you have information related to Jane; and (3) we will move you to a minimum security prison.

lol Flavio Bolsonaro ran away from Brazil.

An Arizona pollster finds a fairly apocalyptic landscape for the state GOP. (Same as they did earlier this month.) It's Arizona High Grounds. They have Dems leading by double-digits for governor (52/39), SOS, and AG, & single-digits for treasurer and superintendent of public instruction.

And just like that, Pearson’s opponent has a sexting scandal (hat tip: @evanhurst.substack.com) www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Not sure what’s up with some of these polls with 10 pt differences between RV and LV samples. Implausible in size generally and also tend to point in the wrong direction. Single samples can be weird when you’re weighting by 12 variables but this is definitely adding uncertainty
