This is so good and so important.

The first half of this exchange is flabbergasting. It's over a minute of him denying he's the acting IRS commissioner before admitting that he handles all the duties of the IRS commissioner because there is none (either acting or confirmed).

Like we even needed another reason. But this is a huge one for me. Deep fakes are nonconsensual. Deep fakes are invasive. Deep fakes should result in jail time.

Rubio is getting "The Daily Show" treatment live to his face. 👀

I agree like 99% with this! The other 1% of me understands why some people call themselves "content creators" as a broad umbrella term rather than having to list like twenty different kinds of things they do.

Much too soon to count out Steyer. No late mail votes counted, no E-day in big cities…

Today at 11 am ET, we're covering the latest developments at Delaney Hall, the California governor's race, Trump's lost slush fund deal, the upoar over his nomination for the DNI, and growing concerns about the suppression of progressive content on YouTube. youtube.com/live/mSnLVYD...

Please stop and read this Jamelle Bouie piece if you haven’t: “The American people broke something when they gave Trump a second chance… And there is no going back to the Union as it was. If Democrats hope to lead the nation to any kind of recovery… they must understand and internalize this”

Bari Weiss coming in hot with the "look what you made me do" thing that abusers say. She's such a moron. We see her.

The 60 Minutes team after 6 months of David Ellison and Bari Weiss.

That @wired.com hit piece on Long COVID was actually a masterclass in gaslighting. Name-drop the hard science, only to dismiss it. Make it sound like all sides of this "debate" have legitimate arguments. It's the Climate Hoax all over again. "Climate skeptics are afraid of activist backlash".

After the awfully unscientific WIRED article on Long COVID feed your head with a great article on the late Barbara Ehrenreich who exposed the ‘Positive Thinking’ Industry

the death of 60 minutes and the rest of the VRA on the same night really brings home how the current conservative project is to kill the progress and ideals of the mid century

1/ Palantir is deeply embedded in the scariest activities of the Trump regime – enabling everything from mass deportations and lawless assassinations in international waters to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and war crimes.

You may have seen me post about 3 former Democratic lawmakers in New Mexico who were running for their old seats. They were conservative Dems who'd opposed legislation like abortion rights, paid sick leave, & AVR. Result: All 3 lost tonight, two against progressive incumbents & one in an open race.

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

Sorry. New thread. I saw the initial returns in California and needed to clear my head before posting anything. Adam Gray, the 4th most Trump-friendly Democrat in Congress has advanced to the general. His anti-fascist Democratic challenger, Daniel Garibay Rodriguez is in 4th.

The headlines should probably read "Scott Pelley fires CBS," and I'd be okay with that.

A lot of people think it's ok to insult people when it's snark directed at hypocrisy, but all it does is reinforce the over all problem.

Hey! We have six primaries tonight: California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota. I was planning on splitting them each into their own threads, but my MS brain isn't up for that tonight. That said, I am going to make California it's own thread.

The psychologisation of illness has been around for a long time, particularly where women are concerned. Ppl forget that “Covid” is a SARS virus. No one should be surprised about the damage it can cause. An excerpt about sexism in the medical profession: bsky.app/profile/long...

I’m sorry, what even is the theory of the case supposed to be here? Millions of people are fraudulently… purchasing themselves expensive health insurance? Like that old Dana Carvey show sketch with the idiot pranksters who pay for stuff and then run off without taking it?

Also, these are the same Yahoos who keep saying that illegal immigrants are using Medicaid. THEY ABSOLUTELY DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID, NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IS ON MEDICAID. ZERO.

He says this is because they've never filed a claim! Can he really be this stupid? Does he have no idea how insurance works? I went for years without filing an insurance claim BECAUSE I WAS HEALTHY! But if I had gotten in an accident I would have needed it. WTF are we dealing with here???

Steyer: I have a strong anti-ICE platform. I think they are a criminal organization, and we have a very strong plan when it comes to prosecuting them. You don’t have to trust me. The head of ICE went online to say that my program is unfair to ICE agents, and I took that as a huge compliment.

Blanche says the IRS entered into a settlement with Trump, which is what the tax immunity is. Except ... the IRS didn't sign it.

I know most Dem electeds aren’t paying attention to this specific phenomenon, but they should. Everyone said, it would not matter for a second what Mamdani did once elected, he would still get this treatment in the press. Ds have to bake this in and govern in spite of it, not scared of it.

New: The federal government’s insect-defense agency is infested with bed bugs. https://www.notus.org/policy/usda-bed-bugs-infestation

this makes the "allowed to talk about it" bit all the more insidious. what they mean is that patients will talk back. which, ironically, we are much more literally not allowed to do

Complete pseudoscience. Painting biological reality as a controversy, citing quacks, cherry-picking recovery stories. A recent study found that Long Covid will cause $8 billion in damage to the US economy, but don't worry- patients can just think themselves better!

The amazing tones of Johnny Marr. We’re so fortunate to have him as a part of the music that we grew up with and that we still enjoy 💖

#MusicChallenge #EmojiSounds Day 3 🇮🇹 Siouxsie And The Banshees- Dear Prudence I love this song's video, shot in Venice. The shoot was unauthorized and features the band roaming the canals and bridges. Robert Smith plays guitar. It was filmed in guerilla fashion. youtu.be/M6rrTROoZIw?...

The Talarico campaign is 100% focused on the kill shot here. And nice work, whoever made the ad -- there's one creepy courtroom clip of Hoffman replayed multiple times to good effect, while every shot of Paxton looks like he was just caught trying to fuck a poodle at a PetsMart.

apropos of absolutely nothing, still thinking a lot about The Insider lately.

New from 404 Media: we've seen internal documents that show Microsoft is explicitly planning to "make people addicted" to its new AI assistant 'Scout' which the company just announced. It is a clear goal according to the documents, with addiction being the first phase www.404media.co/microsoft-wa...

Last week, feds pointed a gun at someone inside their home in the suburbs. ICE never left Chicago and every day feels like screaming into a void

Now they’re giving him a daily cognitive test??? By now he knows all the answers—but one day that draw the clock is going to stump him

Please for the love of god will someone ask a follow up question to any of this gibberish

Welp there’s no unseeing this
