“The federal government went on tv and lied about Alex. They tried to slander his memory to cover up their crime. Not only was it wrong. It was shameful, unfair, and unacceptable. We want our sons killers brought to justice once and for all.”

Alex Pretti’s family holding their first news conference addressing the media this morning. It’s been 9 months since their son was disarmed before being shot to death by federal agents in Minneapolis. No one has been held responsible.

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.

For years we've been told the DSA is a menace — a threat to our very way of life — by the same Frey guys courting MAGA Republican support for their candidate for Hennepin county attorney.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

here, write it down so it’s easy to repeat: an illegitimate supreme court allowed an insurrectionist barred by the 14th amendment to take office and his pardons aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on

One person doesn't want you to see "Musk," but the rest of America does. See it while you can in theaters and VOD(coming soon).

Elon Musk's audacious campaign to keep Alex Gibney's Musk out of theaters and social media shows the fantastic power Musk wields in America today, especially the power to squelch his critics. www.status.news/p/elon-musk-...

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

This is outrageous. Trump's DOJ is working proactively to sow doubt in our elections and laying the groundwork to deny elections that Republicans lose. This is fascism, plain and simple, and we must call it out.

Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

Again, it's not just that this is appalling and indecent. It's that it reveals someone inhabiting a moral universe where even the concept of decency is so unfathomable and alien that it doesn't even occur to you to attempt a half-assed impression of how someone who isn't human garbage might react.

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"

"Not every dickpuncher is a problem," reports Dickpuncher Times, a publication of particular interest to dickpunchers and people devoted to dickpunching, financed largely by dickpunch ads. Finally, a nuanced take on everyone's dicks being ruined forever by all the punching. What a blessing.

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

A good hedge, then, would be to say now that these oligarchs are meddling in the election, and will have to answer for it in January, no matter the size of Democrats’ victory. www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

Remember all the piss-ant, fascist bootlickers that propped up this goon and got rich and empowered by him. They will ultimately denounce him and shrug off their complicity. Most in government and media will give them a pass. Don’t let them.

Hacking a voting machine (as suggested in the teaser) isn't the problem. That's how you find and fix weaknesses. The problem is that they were told not to tell the vendor (or anyone else) what they found, so the result could be kept on the shelf and used to cast doubt on election outcomes. Yikes.

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

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."

patguy reposted

This Ramaswamy ad against Acton is going to backfire more spectacularly on him and the usual suspects of paid right-wing influencer grifters than the Talarico hoax. Just terrible people continuing to do terrible things. Vote them all out.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Those of you familiar with him know that Mike Davis is one of the genuinely fascist players in the MAGA legal world. Here he is first lying about what Slotkin said and then threatening her with assassination. A product of the corruption and rot of the conservative legal movement.
