No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

I am so tired of hearing pundits - left, right, and center - ponderously announce that "what voters really care about is inflation and prices." WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE WHAT IS THE ACTUAL LINKAGE YOU SEE BETWEEN THESE THINGS AND ELECTION RESULTS PLEASE, DO THE BARE MINIMUM AND SHOW A RELATIONSHIP

Super rich people love to threaten to leave if so-and-so gets elected as though they actually pay taxes.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Bolts deserves some hype. I'm glad they're getting more recognition, because they do great work. Contributed if you can, and share their articles even if you can't.

I know most of my followers probably know this, but just in context: A billion is a thousand million. A trillion is a thousand billion.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Incidentally, one thing this whack-a-mole effort does, intentionally or not, is keep reminding Semper that DHS is lying about McIver during the period Semper is contemplating McIver's Speech and Debate and Vindictive prosecution claims.

This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

actual communism

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

We've had human level intelligence for thousands of years, who needs this?

My 1974 HP calculator surpasses human intelligence in key tasks

My favorite comment on the FT story

Is it weird that the authors have just published their own research paper, rather than submitting it to a peer-reviewed journal? I’m not an academic but it seems weird to me.

I mean, I don't know that we can assume all the jurors were thinking the same thing, but yeah, a reasonable juror could easily conclude that the law just wasn't violated here.

Theresa Gillespie Isom flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate seat while running on Medicaid expansion and helping rural hospitals.

Drop off some tins of soup for the ATC and airport security folks is really not a message the richest country in the world should be pushing out.

Trump to the Novo Nordisk CEO: "Maybe you should give us a piece of the company like I've been asking for."

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

Has anyone added up how much money these rich fascist assholes set on fire backing belligerent losers on Tuesday? Musta been a couple hundred million against Mamdani alone and that was just a municipal race.

"I do not think these two ICE officers are prepared for a Council that reads things." Another reason for elected leaders to publicly resist fascist bullies: They crumble at the slightest pushback

The Epstein Shutdown

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. That’s the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogue’s stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the Condé portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

'Blunt Corruption': DOJ has given the tech behemoth Alphabet a green light to acquire the cybersecurity firm Wiz after it was revealed that the Google parent company donated to President Donald Trump’s $300 million ballroom project. The merger deal is valued at over $30 billion

holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

As for the testimony of Border Patrol Chief Patrol Greg Bovino: Ellis: "Defendant Bovino admitted that he lied about whether a rock hit him before he deployed tear gas in Little Village." When Bovino threw a second tear gas canister at the crowd, the crowd was running away.

Federal agents tried to claim a flash-bang grenade they fired in Little Village was fireworks thrown by protestors, Ellis says. Agents also lied about what happened in Albany Park on Oct. 12, Ellis says.

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis has just taken the bench to rule on federal agents actions' during a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and the suburbs. Background, for @wttw.bsky.social from @bymattmasterson.bsky.social

It’s one thing to have different environmental/health priorities for your foundation, it’s quite another to have been bankrolling one of the primary sources of bullshit on the topic.

The West Wing?

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

This could be us if we weren't strangling the solar industry to help keep oil prices up

these people mostly voted for the Nazi porn candidate btw

Honestly, would prefer everyone go crazy about this than that deeply dumb NYT thing, but of course the fact that we're not means i guess they aren't so dumb afterall, huh?

"did you even read the article???? the headline is bad but the article is good!!!" buddy if I see a restaurant called Dan's Fecal Stew i am not gonna go in there to see if maybe they printed the sign wrong

So far this week: Monday: Dick Cheney kicks it Tuesday: 34-yo Muslim becomes mayor of NYC Wednesday: Gorsuch raises grave concerns abt Congress abdicating the power to declare war Thursday: Pelosi announces retirement

"Update: The precinct with the most students in Blacksburg gave Gov-Elect Spanberger 91% of the vote and flipped the local House of Delegates seat from red to blue. Thank you @megynkelly or Kelly Megyn or whatever your name is!" - @SenLouiseLucas bluevirginia.us/2025/11/poli...

The whole of the internet is now run on the things that would have not made it past your email junk filter 20 years ago.

Convinced now Trump simply wants to punish the country for not appreciating all his war solving enough.
