Jon Ossoff is fundraising for Georgia Democrats. It's a bet for his party's future β€” and his own. If Democrats win big in November, Ossoff will have cemented a leading role in a key swing state.

A few days ago, Matt Meck, the "chief of staff" for QAnon influencer Juan O. Savin, said on a podcast that he "was texting Secretary Kennedy over the weekend, last weekend," regarding Kennedy being "a speaker on the authentic health side" for Savin's conference next year.

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

NY Times Pitchbot@nytpitchbot.bsky.social

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

this really is impeachable for any president, but really grotesque coming from a regime that cut life-saving development aid because they said it was not efficient

this is so boring but it is incredibly frustrating to see the supreme court be so malevolently silly about third-country removal. there is no balancing of equities that could possibly favor the government, which already HAS THE DETAINEE IN JAIL. are they ordering too much room service?

The basketball game *mix-up* is the sideshow. The critical part of this Republican hit job is that a sitting US Senator was accusing Jack Smith of colluding in a secret corruption scheme with another prosecutor against Donald Trump. It is a vile as it gets.

Republican senator's gotcha moment of confrontation against Jack Smith involving a basketball game backfires when it turns out the senator got the wrong game, wrong league and wrong state. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

Leaked audio of Ken Paxton: Q: Do you think Trump is a bit of a drag? Paxton: To be honest with you, when we did that midterm convention, it dropped our numbers. Everybody’s numbers dropped. Yeah. Not good.

β€˜If the stitch up doesn’t fit, you must be Eric Schmitt’

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

New in PN: Schmitt happens all over effort to perjury trap Jack Smith "The GOP playbook relies on an absolute lack of shame, so Schmitt dutifully bellied up to the microphone to celebrate his flawless victory with the chuds keeping the grift alive in Charlie Kirk’s old studio."

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

WSJ Exclusive: The Trump admin used federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security to finance those controversial pro-Trump ads that started airing on TV. The taxpayer money used to fund the ads came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

CBS: Sen. John Fetterman says it's entirely possible Democrats take back Senate. I look forward to the day we don't have to give a fuck about what Fetterman thinks, who he's willing to support, or what he's willing to vote for. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

The hypocrisy is the consistency. They will say and do anything, no matter how humiliating it would be to a non power-mad sociopath, if it gains them an iota more power. This is common among those attracted to tyrants.
