It should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

The reason why Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today is that Trump is so corrupt that Nixon seems almost quaint by comparison. Heck, the Guilded Age guys are kicking themselves for being born in the wrong century. There's much more dirty money to be made now.

Chad Jones, economist who'll be joining Anthropic:
"In other words, with log utility it is optimal to take a 1 in 3 chance of ending human existence in exchange for a 2/3 chance of dramatically raising living standards by a factor of 55."

The 1st Amendment prohibits the govt, including judges, from punishing - or, in this case, levying additional punishment on - people because of their ideological positions. Seems like obvious grounds for appealing the sentences.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month.

Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

Susan Collins is lying through her teeth. Roe v. Wade was not overturned 6-3. That is a lie. It was 5-4. Roberts specifically said he did not support overturning Roe.

Brett Kavanaugh was the deciding vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.

And Susan Collins was the deciding vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

SLOTKIN: Do you believe mail voting is safe and secure?

GALLO: Uh. That's a very good question. I would say, it's not -- under the proper guidance and monitoring, yes

SLOTKIN: Trump won my state in 2024 and there was a ton of mail voting. Was that voting for President Trump safe and secure?

GALLO: It was safe and secure

The New York Post had an article about the UFC 250 terrorism plot that claimed Michael Alan Thomas’ beliefs were “difficult to categorize.”

He’s a fascist anti-Semite who thinks Jewish elites eat babies. I get you want to pin everything on the Democrats but this is not some never-before-seen special snowflake ideology

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

GOOD GOD.

You're right that Donald Trump shouldn't have spent the last two months obsessing about the reflecting pool while pissing away US hegemony. But that he did is in significant part YOUR fault and the fault of dumbass propagandists like you.

Why can't you far right wingers EVER take personal responsibility, @KatieZacharia? Were you just raised badly?
