Everyone near Trump's orbit is a washed up tool. Pillow man. Giuliani. Kid Rock. A hospice of the irrelevant.

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

"Suicide and bankrptcies are up! Vote Trump!" WTAF. Doubling down on pedophilia and autogenocide going into the home stretch. How are any of these races even close?

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

"Bankruptcies are up, suicides are up, but nevertheless, we have hope in this president." Kansas farmers are suffering under Trump's tariffs, and Sen. Roger Marshall's message is essentially to keep the faith. @timmiller.bsky.social & @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social call out the cultish insanity.

Scott Presler is one of the GOP’s most famous election integrity guys. He spends all day reminding his followers to “report any suspicious activity.” The Bulwark did, and an election lawyer said it isn’t a close call. Remember this next time MAGA starts up the voter fraud nonsense. Link in reply.

EU needs to follow suit. Same with a hopefully post-blue wave US. The larger social media platforms have become largely agitprop run by bots with valuations based on vapor. Garbage from stock price to content.

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.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
