Bemused and nonplussed. RTs don't imply that I know what I'm doing.

worth noting that Gal Beckerman published a piece on Oct 12, 2023 that twice made reference to "decapitate babies" on Oct 7 and neither he nor the Atlantic have ever corrected or retracted the claim despite it being widely debunked.

What’s the GOP argument here? “We’ve made your lives materially worse but you have to vote for us because we tried to steal an election by force and fraud and don’t ever want to actually face any accountability for it.” The MAGA GOP is just a criminal enterprise pretending to be a political party and they’re too stupid to even mask it.

Louisiana has become ground zero to abysmally, distressingly long detentions that violate any idea you have of due process. Bolts and The Lens partnered to report on this a few months ago: https://t.co/0NN7qfoQYt

Understanding Senator Eric Schmitt.

His track record includes bringing this expensive litigation chock-full with misinformation all the way to Supreme Court.

Just an insane amount of government waste. These troopers should be home with their families doing their normal jobs, not wasting taxpayer dollars wandering around tourist sites doing nothing.

@amandatalks__ They literally did. Not only did they, DOGE fired the entire team that built it.

CBP just seized an American attorney's phone as he returned from Palestine.

Here's some interesting context — this attorney is married to (and the law partner of) another lawyer who *just last month* filed an ethics complaint against this Florida judge:

What’s with these guys and restaurant reservations? What’s this market, $30M a year? Why is every AI sales pitch now obsessed with restaurant reservations? how many people are struggling with this problem on a weekly basis? A few thousand at most? Enough with the reservations!

A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.

Where on earth did Blackburn come up with that claim?

It's worth taking a moment to study the whole Gaza Strip on Google Earth since they updated their satellite images in the past week. You can see the genocide from space.

This truly, truly is the stupidest possible timeline.

Highly unpopular? lol yeah, to mega millionaires. The vast majority of people support taxing the fuck out of these people. Some Staten Island judge isn't going to stop this. But boy will they try.

If there's one thing history has taught us, it's never dangerous to allow self-regulation of themselves by massive industries that can take down the economy. Absolutely no downside risk here.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Schmitt is now going with "I was just asking questions." But that's also untrue. Schmitt falsely claimed that he had a "series of text messages" that said Smith had attended the Warriors-Hawks game. And he had his staff make up a cheesy poster board displaying the texts (which didn't say anything about a Warriors-Hawks game).

Schmitt was not just asking questions. He was making false assertions about Smith and about the texts he had, all while accusing Smith of perjury. He's just a dishonorable guy.
