The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

Wouldn't this be a crime? He should name whoever did this. Maybe Tom Holman knows, I hear he's big in the bribe world..

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

I think this deserves more attn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

BREAKING: World outside America exists. Global economy is global. Picking trade fights with everyone at once rather than rallying allies to pressure China together still very stupid.

😶

Sucks to be a Cuomo today. Add this to the increasing evidence 2026 will be very bad for Republicans. Hopefully more Progressive candidates can win primaries in safer seats. Still a bit worried dems will try and put them up in important swing seats. Manchin wasn't ideal, but better than an R.

Until recently I ignored Threads after a brief look at launch. But it's now buzzing. It's now larger than X/twitter, regularly beating it in daily users after doing so for the first time in September. Threads: 128m X: 126m Bluesky: 1.5m Truth Social: 0.5m www.forbes.com/sites/conorm...

"Ultimately, it is something of an advertisement for a new therapeutic protocol"... Could be describing almost every similar documentary on the topic from the last ten years.

The amount of money people like Sarina Russo have made from the poor and disadvantaged in Australia since Howard privatised CES in the 90's is disgraceful. This system and the high Effective Marginal Tax rates these people face needs to be reformed badly.

Nearly 90% of jobseekers unable to get long-term work despite millions spent on private job agencies www.theguardian.com/business/202...

the thing is, having now watched a bit, Fuentes is unfortunately rather good at what he does; that is, he's not stupid, and he's a good performer. So yeah, reaction guy nodding & laughing, bc Fuentes is being funny about Erika. and the term "ZOG" slips in there and still: nod nod laugh laugh

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

“He was very strong on congratulating me.”

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

I think about this piece of shit pretty often.

Jews: please don’t elect the guy with the Nazi tattoo This lady: wow you’re so shrill

Platner didn't join to get access to higher ed. In his own words: he joined for "adventure & to kill". His family is very wealthy. Grandfather is a famous architect whose chairs sell for $15k. Father is a wealthy corporate lawyer. Mother owns several restaurants. Went to $75k pa boarding school.

Graham Platner’s campaign thought they could silence me by offering me money and calling me a liar in the press. I was going to let it go. It has become increasingly clear they are unfamiliar with Maine women.

In the first half of this year, the income of President Trump's family business soared 17-fold to $864 million, based almost entirely on new crypto ventures that have been a magnet for overseas cash, a Reuters investigation found. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

This is the news I've dreaded all my life, and it's here: Humanity has failed to avoid dangerous climate change. We have now entered the overshoot era. Our new goal is to prevent as many irreversible tipping points from taking hold as we can. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When James Foley was brutally executed in 2014 by ISIS and the video released, emotions where high, so keep that in mind. But Graham Platnwr posted these comments on reddit in response: "We wil kill thousands..... maybe millions. Our way of life is better..."

(Axios) - Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's campaign manager is stepping down from his position, according to two people familiar with his plans. @axios.com #MEsen www.axios.com/2025/10/27/g...

Graham Platner really is proof that (white) dudes will happily apply for jobs that they are completely unqualified for and think it’s fine.

I need to apologize to the Pod Save America guys, the Bernie supporters, to @lylerubin.bsky.social, and especially to Graham Platner and his supporters. It’s important you admit it when you realize you were wrong about someone, and Stephen Miller has convinced me Graham is great.

32 year old man, Kenneth Leland Morgan, who's looks like a possible groyper, FAFO by dressing up as an SS Officer and harrasing people at a Halloween event in Georgia. Assaults a woman and gets arrested. Make this behaviour shameful again!

Ah, locals mention the federal court order here, which also requires agents to wear some identification. Also, quite an image in here: masked, fully-geared-out DHS agents getting screamed at in a residential neighborhood by some dude who is barefoot and in pajama pants.

Found a reddit video Platner posted along with description of his unit in Iraq being ordered to stop using mortars in high density urban areas. He devised a method to use mk19 grenade launchers to evade detection by command. "It wasn't the most accurate system" he says, but he still used it.

This seems about right to me. He takes a lot of the blame for all this, but the strategists who headhunted him based on the working class vibes they saw, carroed out poor vetting and then finally ran his campaign are the real problem here.

So, Graham Platner is the George Santos of John Fettermans?..

Multiple sources confirm that Platner lied about not knowing about his SS tattoo's meaning. He's known for years. His campaign declined to comment. He's cooked. Don't understand why so many people went all in on him even after the SS tattoo became public. www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

Even after DOGE, the tariffs, and all the performative stuff, the reality is that they're blowing out the budget deficit, and this year is on track to be the largest in the post-pandemic period.

I've been of socials for health reasons for a while now. This place seems nice, and I'll hang around, but I'm not going to leave twitter despite the hellscape it's turned into. I'm not going to let the racists, white supremacists, and outright Nazis have free reign to spread their hate.

911 was thought by many to be a false flag. It wasn't. However, it was used by those in power to make terrible decisions. Reichstag fire wasn't one either. Also used by those in power. Zero evidence that this assassination was a false flag either. Eye on the ball, don't go chasing rabbits.

there will be a sizable percentage of folks who never believe whatever comes out of the investigation into kirk's killing, and it sure doesn't help having a potus who's prejudged it & an FBI fully weaponized. just be prepared.

Someone just explained to me that the shooter was a professional assassin on the grounds that they hit the carotid, in case you are worried that the fucking crazy is not being evenly distributed

Can we cool it on the "professional hit" nonsense? The right has jumped down the conspiracy rabbit hole, no need for us to follow. The shot was pretty basic, one millions of Americans could easily do with a scoped rifle. Wasn't long distance (~150-200m), wasn't a clean head or chest shot.
