Bad history, circa 3024: “back in the last century, dementia patients were often taught to “weave” particularly about their asylum, and other patients real and imaginary. Cannibalism was a favorite topic.”

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: Hannibal Lector. Silence of the lambs. Who the hell else would even remember that? I have a great memory. That is who we are allowing into our country. I do the weave. It's genius. You bring up Hannibal Lector, insane asylum

Casual mean and laughing about it, a hot-mic wake-up call to PA and US parents (and young folks). insurance covers young 20s kids? “Oh, I’m not for that!” - courtesy of the “if you like it, then I’ll kill it” magaGop.

HOT MIC: Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick tells a voter in Clearfield that he's against the ACA provision to allow for children to be on their parents' health insurance plans until the age of 26.

"I'm not for that. I got to get my kids working!"

The McCormick campaign did not immediately respond for comment.

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!

Holy…Listen to every word. This is exactly right. White men: start handling your boys.

Turns out the ‘Black Insurrectionist” twitter account that spread Russian disinformation is a 51 year old MAGA white dude named Jason Palmer. Because it always is. https://t.co/WmuAYQOOkc

Focusing for a moment on the POLICIES at play.

Voters were asked whether they supported 100 different policies, but weren't told whether the policy was from Trump or Harris.

Nearly all of Harris' policies got majority support from the public, and... 🧵

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump took out a full-page newspaper ad calling for the execution of innocent Black and Latino boys: The Central Park Five.

Trump has a long history of racism—and his Project 2025 plan would give him virtually unchecked power over Black Americans’ lives and bodies.

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.

(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
