Thank you, New York Times.

But I think 'alarmists' might be the wrong word then?

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

@whstancil is rightly arguing for the buffet approach to comms. It's a trick of advocacy: you lay out a spread of arguments and let A decide what to eat. Once A has invested his ego in accepting point x, it becomes very difficult for yr opponent to persuade A that x is wrong.

BREAKING: Jack Smith just dropped the report Trump didn’t want you to read.

From scheming to overturn the 2020 election to stashing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago like a wannabe Bond villain, this investigation pulls no punches.

Smith dismantles Trump’s “witch hunt” cries with cold, hard facts and serves up a reality check: justice doesn’t bend to power, politics, or the cult of personality.

Dive into the report that proves no one—not even Trump—is above the law. 🧵

Congratulations to everyone in the media for pulling off the longest, most sustained disinformation campaign in modern history. You shit on the economy every fucking day of Biden's time in office and it turned out to have all been bullshit (and you knew it)

The AfD's mission is to rehabilitate the image of the Nazi movement.

One leader's license plate is an open tribute to Hitler.

A top AfD official said about migrants, "We can always shoot them later...or gas them."

Another described Judaism as the "inner enemy" in Germany.

Please stop calling it a landslide. R’s wins in ‘24 were decisive but not overwhelming. R’s held the House by 7,309 votes; Trump won EC by 229,766. And, only purple SEN seat won by R’s was won by 15,115. https://t.co/F7K8vC4RgV

Jared Kushner’s buddies take over Univision and the Latino vote swings to Trump. Am sure it’s a coincidence.

from Philly courtroom —

Musk lawyer says his $1m giveaway is NOT a lottery. "There is no prize to be won" and winners "are not chosen at random," Musk lawyer Chris Gober said.

Instead, the $1m is a salary they "earn" to be a spokesperson for Musk's pro-Trump super PAC. Winners are picked based on their "suitability to serve" and their personal story, Gober said.

In response, Philly DA team called this a "complete admission of liability" that Musk is running an illegal lottery under PA law.

Remember: When Musk announced the giveaway.... in PA nonetheless.... he said, "we are going to be awarding $1 million randomly." DA showed this in court to the judge.

Gober argued there's a difference between "randomly" and "by chance," which is why he argued that this isn't an illegal lottery under PA gaming laws.

@lccoftheisland @JeffPassan A 14 yr old with those skills would be more valuable than a 19 yr old with same skills. The 14 yr old has more room and time to grow, higher possible ceiling.

Take it with a grain of salt, but why is this being shared like it’s a good thing for the GOP? That is an extremely bad number for Trump! If he’s at +5 in Iowa (which he won by 8 last time), he’s almost certainly losing MI/PA/WI.

@SusquehannaPR You retweeted a Republican candidate cheering on positive results for another Republican candidate

This is not that different from the Quantus “you’re welcome” tweet which tipped the NC avg to Trump a few weeks back

Super inappropriate from a supposedly non-partisan pollster

Thursday thoughts, post-Putin edition:

1. Imagine a post-Putin, post-Musk, post-Trump future that you're excited about. Work to make it happen.

2. Cable news is anti-signal.

3. Americans have brainworms about 1) Kennedy assassination, 2) UFO's, 3) Vietnam — all of which were leveraged by the KGB to undermine faith in government.

4. Eugenics is more influential than people realize; many people really do believe they can breed their way to long-term strategic dominance.

5. Assume that everything you say on X might someday be used to put you in jail.

6. Make "X" Twitter again. Manifest a future where banks sell this hellsite to sane people.

7. Trump will lose his power when people believe he no longer has any.

Zoom out. Study history. Think slowly. We are being prodded constantly with stimuli by people who wish to control collective behavior. Take back your attention. Onward!

@RoseItzcovitz @BethlehemAreaSD @Teamsters @69News The headline says the workers crossed the picket line, but the article says they went to work (today) after a tentative deal was reached last night. That doesn't seem like crossing a picket line?

RFK's VP Shanahan says its "not an easy decision" between continuing or dropping out to "join forces with" Trump. She says she "can envision" that "Bobby goes and he does an incredible job with you know for example HHS Human Health Services."
