The GORP continues, all the way down the chain.

It was the worst crime spree in US history. All these DOGE fuckers need to go to jail. 

"The rich are only defeated when running for their lives." - CLR James, The Black Jacobins

"there's no new information in this report so it's not news" say the same news media who plastered front pages with "duplicate hillary emails found on laptop" like it was a nuclear-level scandal a week before the 2016 election

Bill Barr said nothing bad happened with Trump and Russia

One party is anti-rape and one party is pro-rape, so prominent coverage of rape accusations of one party’s leader would be biased. The job of the press is to be objective. Or: Voters already knew Trump was a rapist, it’s baked in. The job of the press is novelty to influence electoral outcomes.

Vivek Ramaswamy's "real allegation is that the world should be divided into two types of people: the domineering and the dominated; the kind who wield power, and the kind power is wielded against." @moiradonegan.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I know there’s a lot going, but 19 Republican AGs have said—in writing!—that pro-choice speech should be criminalized. Thats a Big Fucking Deal and it blows my mind that more people aren’t talking about it

Yes exactly. Hard to be juicier than this! A violent sex scandal connected with America's most notorious criminal and they're like "nah we'll pass, time to run another beat sweetener on Rubio instead." They just like Trump and want to help him. bsky.app/profile/plan...

the actual reason is that the media likes Trump and wants to help him. They didn't like Hillary and they didn't like Biden and wanted to hurt them. That explains why Hillary's emails was covered as a nuclear-level scandal and "Trump is a violent rapist who is best friends with Jeff Epstein" isn't

i hope if nothing else, the media ignoring this finally stops people from saying "the reason the media doesn't run drumbeat scandal coverage on trump the way they did on Clinton is because Dems don't make a big deal of it like Republicans do"

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

Maryland, heads up.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

If I wake up tomorrow and the Rays somehow pulled off an all time comeback I will apologize to the Brewers for jinxing them.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Judiciary Committee should have put a joke about the Cheesecake Factory in the document. Then maybe it would get more coverage.

I turned on the World Series like 10 minutes ago. It was 2-0 Brewers. It's now 10-0. That was bananas!

The only reason anyone is talking about Marissa Mayer or Dazzle is that her marketing team understands how to deploy rage bait, and most of the Internet still can't spot it in the wild.

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

I don’t think this is exactly what’s going on, or all that’s going on. It’s not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. It’s that they like that he’s a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

Republicans, they're not like us.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

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.

Meta suspended @nokingscoalition.bsky.social’s account for over an hour during one of the largest protests in U.S. history. Democratic AGs are demanding answers.

One of the oddest parts of Reflect Orbtial’s schtick is its claim of “substantive discussions” with scientists and astronomers. Basically zero evidence of this or it having an impact thus far.

Sign of the times: Someone chalked “National Guard Stay Away” outside an early voting center in Columbia Heights. There have been local and national concerns around federal agents (or the National Guard in D.C.) appearing at or near polling places ahead of next week’s elections.

Don't give me hope.

I'm capable of doing it but I hate leaving my house.

I really recommend that you check out @pregnancyjust.bsky.social's report with the latest data— there’s so much there. Read more: jessica.substack.com/p/report-ove...

South Carolina's former governors Jim Hodges, a Democrat, and David Beasley, a Republican, shoot a joint 60-second ad endorsing Annie Andrews for Senate. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARZ5...

Used to be that the political media would play up the salaciousness of a sex scandal but for Trump they cover it like he got caught turning in his TPS reports late bsky.app/profile/dgst...

Recall again how the same newspaper chose to write up "duplicate Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop." Was that a bigger deal or less of a big deal than rape?

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

The minute Dems gain any power at all, watch them descend like locusts, hyping an endless series of fake scandals fed to them by the same RW slop machine that's been playing them for fools for decades. They can't wait.

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

New from me: The US has faced a higher cost than any other country from the global Hormuz oil shock, with the crisis adding $160 billion to its fuel bill — or $471 per person on average — despite being the world’s largest oil producer.
