WTF??? Really??

[MCM @SELLMACM]

@SenJohnThune, during press interview about #GunContolNow in the wake of the Vegas massacre you offered your sage advice on protecting ourselves during gunfire attack “As somebody said, get small.” How much smaller should these AR -15 victims have gotten?

No lies detected.
Pass it along.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

If you’re furious about Mamdani attending a 9/11 memorial but perfectly fine with Trump lying about being rescued from the rubble at Ground Zero. Congratulations, you’re in a cult.

@mayaaverbuch @JonathanLanday It’s a blatant inside-job scam.

Billing deported migrants millions in fake administrative fines and paying private contractors taxpayer cash to track them down in Central America is a money-laundering scheme for federal contracting buddies of the Trump crime family.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

[Sari Beth Rosenberg @saribethrose]

The Islamophobia that followed 9/11 was shameful. Although I’m not shocked that the NY Post is commemorating the 25th anniversary of that horrific day for our city & country this way, I refuse to stay silent about it. This is hateful and destructive and harmful to Muslim New Yorkers. Our Mayor - with close to a 70% approval rating -will be at Ground Zero on Friday & the vast majority of New Yorkers will take comfort that he is there.

THIS IS TRUMP’S AMERICA. THIS IS THE MAGA MOVEMENT. THIS IS THE MAHA MOVEMENT. THIS IS WHAT THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WANTS. DISTRACT THE POOR WITH FASCISM WHILE YOU ROB THEM BLIND. RACIST XENOPHOBIC MISOGYNISTIC NEO NAZIS. THIS IS AMERICA

@EricLDaugh Isn’t there a term for taking money from the paychecks of those who DO work and handing it to those who DON’T work?

🚨 TRADWIFE WELFARE™ — BAKING, BREEDING & BILLING THE FUCKING TAXPAYER

So we're taking federal child-care funds and giving them to married couples who aren't paying for child care, while working parents who actually need daycare are drowning in the cost? And single parents can apparently go fuck themselves? 🤨

If that's the proposal, somebody needs to explain how this is child-care policy and not government-subsidized social engineering with a marriage requirement. I mean what the actual fuck!

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Funny. When Joe Biden proposed $400 billion in child care subsidies and universal pre-K, Republicans screamed “HANDOUTS” and “SOCIALISM.”

Now they’re leaking a half-baked rule two months before the midterms that takes money from the existing child care fund for working parents and hands $9K to married couples with a stay-at-home spouse.

Not new money. Not for single moms. Not for both parents working. Just a PR stunt they can run without Congress.

Pathetic.

@JonLemire So that republican win in USA is the campaign's own written goal. Clippers are told to hide that they are not American. When the reporter started asking questions, the evidence started disappearing within a day.

Inside a Conservative Operation to Hijack Your Social-Media Feed:

A service run from Latvia offers payment for short, social-media-friendly clips designed to look like grassroots GOP support https://t.co/CxZ9naEPZk

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

A company in Riga, Latvia is paying a 300,000 dollar monthly budget to overseas contractors, told explicitly to hide their location with US proxy servers, to post clips designed to look like ordinary Americans spontaneously praising the GOP. The campaign's own instructions state the goal in writing: so that republican win in USA. No disclosure that the poster was paid, no disclosure it is coordinated. The money trail traces to Blake Wynn, 26, nephew of mega donor Steve Wynn, whose company's employees uploaded the campaign's source videos.

Wynn has said he regularly talks to FBI Director Kash Patel, sat next to Trump on Election Night 2024, and was close with Charlie Kirk. The campaign's own banned topics list is its own tell, no Jan 6 videos, no Trump family crypto, no RFK Jr, careful image management dressed up as spontaneous grassroots enthusiasm. When the Atlantic's reporter contacted everyone involved, the campaign folders and Discord listings started disappearing within a day.

[Deep Leaks @DeepLeaksHQ]

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just revealed that Pete Hegseth ordered military members to an area in Kuwait with an ACTIVE WARNING they had ZERO defense against drone attacks and he IGNORED IT.

Six were then KILLED. Survivors blame Hegseth.

This is even WORSE

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

These are not vanity projects. That’s being too nice. These are insanity projects. It’s insane that he’s building these gaudy monstrosities and it’s insane that this country’s GOP leaders don’t have the spine to stop him from defacing our nation’s capital. Stop the insanity!

[Former Fetterman Staffers @FettermanStaff]

Hello, Twitter.

We’re a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he's become.

If you were troubled by yesterday's Wall Street Journal story... trust us, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It's even worse than you thought.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Corporations who have folded in Trump's second term but would never, in a million years, allow themselves to be pushed around by a Democratic President like this, is one of the defining features of our current hellscape.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Four New York Times reporters, citing four separate sources, said Trump plans to skip the Ground Zero ceremony because he cannot speak there, a rule in place since 2012, and instead headline a Pentagon event before departing for his Ireland golf course. Trump calls this made up, but he does not say where he will actually be on September 11. He has been threatening to expose Haberman's sources for years, including through a 2022 lawsuit against the Pulitzer board that is still stuck in discovery, and the board's own two independent reviews of her Russia coverage found nothing to justify pulling the prize. If the sources do not exist, three years of litigation should have proven it by now. Instead the president is left insulting the reporter he cannot rebut.

[Anna Bower @AnnaBower]

DOJ election monitors reportedly tried to access voting machines in Wyoming last week.

I’ve spent thousands of hours reporting on past efforts by Trump allies to access machines.

Mark my words: State officials need to be ready for this to happen again.
