@pixburghdem @_rotimia I mean ... Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris, and the party followed. Platner is asking for the same

[Jᴀqᴇn H'ghᴀr 🌺 @RealFacelessMan]

@huzzahmpls i don't think it requires a doctor's diagnosis to say that the vegetable you interviewed for a few hrs isn't all there upstairs. We all saw the same thing on the debate stage and came to the same conclusion, without medical degrees

[Sarah Isgur @whignewtons]

I hope these folks rescinding their endorsements and calling on Platner to drop out will consider calling Lyndsey Fifield to apologize. Doesn’t need to be public, but she warned them before the primary and they attacked her. Reminds me of Rob Hur on Biden’s mental fitness.

[Brent Scher @BrentScher]

This is, by the way, a major embarrassment for the @nytimes.

Racicot already talked to them, and was so disappointed that she went to @politico and @CNN. Because the NYT made Lyndsey and her politics the story instead of Platner, and let his comms team shape the whole thing.

[ettingermentum @ettingermentum]

I just watched England fucking DIE ON THE FIELD on the ROAD at the TOP OF A MOUNTAIN for their country only to see this team play like SCARED CHILDREN at HOME with a BRIBE ADVANTAGE

[Jᴀqᴇn H'ghᴀr 🌺 @RealFacelessMan]

@brianros1 He cares more about preserving his personal popularity than shaping the Democratic party's ideological direction. It's not complicated.

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

Here are things that the Platner story has that the Kavanaugh allegations did not have:
1) proof of contact between the accuser and the accused
2) documented allegations from the accuser naming the accused to others *before* the accused rose to the national stage
3) multiple accusers with documented proof of contact and long-standing recognition of abuse

Liberals who are saying "this is just like Kavanaugh" are just reminding everyone of how flimsy the Kavanaugh accusations were

They are also letting you know that they don't care about evidence. They will accuse their enemies without any documented evidence. They will protect their own even with mountains of evidence.

[Michael Brendan Dougherty @michaelbd]

LOL, they found a woman liberal enough to be believed.

Anyone who has ever extracted themselves from a relationship with a narcissistic abuser knows it isn’t clean or easy.

I cringe remembering how many times I tried to play the “cool girl” or fawn in response to what was clearly abusive, coercively controlling behavior by Graham.

I also know how dangerous it is to become the target of a narcissist — so even long after our relationship ended I continued to be upbeat any time he reached out, though I would also immediately shut down any attempts on his part to initiate flirting or romanticizing of the past.

Yes, the day I saw him announce he was running I wanted to make sure people knew he had a Nazi tattoo — and I was terrified he would find out it was me.

But of course he knew it was me.

What’s ironic is I absolutely never would have shared my story if he hadn’t been relentlessly attacking my character behind the scenes for months once the tattoo story came out.

I tried to signal that I wasn’t the source and stayed completely silent about him on social media even as most of my friends posted regularly about what a bad person he is.

But then in early April the New York Times came to me. I asked how they got my number. I said I was not interested in sharing my story. They said but wait—there are other women. Women terrified to tell their stories, too, and you need to band together. WE will help you. We will protect you. Men can’t keep getting away with this.

Hours before their first call to me I saw Eric Swalwell’s name plate get removed from his office door in Cannon. It felt like fate.

I welcomed the two journalists into my home days later, nervous and overwhelmed. Justin Fairfax had just murdered his wife and himself the previous day and even conservative pundits were conjecturing that “if only those women hadn’t accused him of abuse, this never would have happened…”

But I told them my story. I let them take pictures of my diary pages. I sent them screenshots of messages and gave them phone numbers and contacts. It was excruciating. I was surprised by what details I remembered, and as I poured through old messages I was horrified by how much I had forgotten.

I explained very clearly that, like many women abused by their partners, I had not told anyone about his violence at the time—I had covered for and defended it. I accepted his earnest apologies. They said that’s fine because the diary entries and my on the record story was enough.

They connected me to two of the other victims so we wouldn’t feel so alone. I insisted to each of them that I trusted the NYT journalists and that we were doing the right thing despite their (sadly very accurate) sense that something was wrong.

One of the victims and I realized our relationships with Graham overlapped completely - he had been cheating on both of us the entire time we were together.

I should note here that my life is just… beautiful. These are the best years of my life. Raising two young girls in a safe, beautiful neighborhood where I work from home and shuffle my children from dance classes and soccer to church events — I am blessed far beyond what I deserve with wonderful friends and family and the most loving, brilliant husband in the world. Why would I blow my life up like this? Why would I risk the psychotic doxxing from violent leftist activists?

Because while I have been terrified to come forward I decided this was the “hard right thing” to do. The guilt of staying silent has nagged me.

Most therapists recommend a “gray rock” approach to extracting yourself from narcissistic abuse — it works really well, but it is a gift to the abuser, allowing them to persist in their delusion that they’ve done nothing wrong.

I couldn’t stay silent as he continued to lie and lie and lie. I want my daughters to boldly speak out if they’re ever abused as I was.

[Bethany S. Mandel @bethanyshondark]

The Times had this. They chose to bury it 30 paragraphs deep under a novel about Lyndsey‘s professional background.

@NateForUtah if you can't be trusted on the most simple and seemingly obvious questions of the day, it's hard to trust you on much of anything else

One of my favorite clips of RFK Jr. is when he torched far-left activist Krystal Ball on this issue.

@kerrummarsayiah @StephenFPI @gdog9393 @BenWBriscoe @UberUK If there are 1000 people trying to book an uber, but only 100 cabs available at the time, how would you want Uber to balance it? It’s either increasing the price to find equilibrium, or making you wait 1hr for a cab. Take your pick

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

The blatant lying I'm seeing from a bunch of media organizations about those anti-fa convictions is insane. Here is what actually happened in that case.

1. People are claiming "Oh, only one guy fired shots, so this means you can now be sentenced to decades in prison if someone else at a protest gets violent." Wrong. They all knew each other, were part of the same group, arrived at the scene together, and all brought guns. There was not a single person at the "protest" who was outside of their friend group. If you're at a protest and someone else shoots a cop that is substantively different from you and 7 of your friends getting rifles, committing a bunch of felonies, and THEN one of you shooting a cop who responds to all the felonies you just committed. Yeah, in that second instance you might wind up on the hook for the shooting. Sorry you're an idiot. Have fun in prison.

2. "Antifa can't be a terrorist movement because it's a decentralized idea." Yeah, so is 21st century Al-Qaeda, but if you shoot cops after getting motivated by reading Inspire Magazine, you're still a terrorist. That's the same fact pattern as what happened here. The people involved were in a group chat together where they self-identified as a coordinated political movement seeking to change policy through violence. If you self-ID as a terrorist behind closed doors, don't be surprised when a jury decides you're a terrorist and you get hit with terrorist enhancements and spend the rest of your life behind bars.

3. "OMG, one guy got a huge amount of prison time for moving boxes." "Moving boxes" in this case refers to one of the accused getting a call from his wife when she was in prison where she asked him if there was anything at the house he needed to move. He then LOADED UP HIS TRUCK with documents and magazines containing far-left terrorist ideology and tried to drive them to another house so the feds wouldn't find the proof of his wife's connection to extremist organizations. He tried to conceal evidence from federal agents in a case involving the attempted assassination of a police officer. That means he was both an accessory after the fact and provided material support to convicted terrorists. Meanwhile fucking PBS News is talking about this like he got convicted for moving a box of items from the living room to the kitchen.

The far-left and their useful idiots in the mainstream media and Democratic establishment have spent years lying about antifa not being a movement predicated upon terrorist violence, when any rational person could tell that's exactly what it was. It turns out the second you put the question in front of a jury none of your low-IQ, echo chamber reddit propaganda means a goddamn thing because normal humans who actually touch grass are going to send you on a one-way trip to a federal penitentiary

What's that phrase again? When you're used to being privileged equality seems like oppression?

@viiskb @Austen all of the above and more, presumably. Data centers are growing because demand for AI is growing across pretty much every sector you can imagine. Healthcare, education, retail, finance, sports. You name it, the demand is there

Did Elon Musk kill millions of people by cutting USAID? We now have preliminary 2025 mortality data from several African countries, and the answer may shock you: no. There is no detectable mortality signal at all.

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

The DSA are a clownish group for many reasons, but one of the biggest is the almost-cartoonish gap between their constant self-proclamation as a movement of the working-class and the constant reality that their voters are overwhelmingly the complete opposite.

Churchill was kicked out weeks after winning WWII. Britain looked at the man who defeated Hitler and basically said, "Cheers mate, now off you pop." Julie from Procurement never stood a chance.💀
