Any Russia-Ukraine deal is doomed without security guarantees, says Starmer

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

One of the top MAGA accounts spreading disinformation

X is right now a Central European country populated by people who don’t know the Nazi government they live under is about to start and lose WWII

These things are certainly tipping points (with Taibbi, it was after he became widely known as a rapist) but people who are fucked up were in most cases fucked up all along. Nate Silver was an annoying git and kind of a loon when he came on the scene. Taibbi was an asshole the whole time. Etc.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

Key thing to remember is: They want these fascist fortress cities because *they believe existing nations are going to collapse* These are escape hatches for a post-democracy world they seek to create. I would argue that they have gotten much farther than they should have. See: DOGE, crypto, etc

Tv talking head democrats love to talk about “how Mikey Sherill won” as a map to the future. I don’t hear much about how Zoran Mamdani won Why’s that? This says more about your right leaning tendencies than about your supposed acumen or prescience.

There have been at least 19 murders in D.C. since Trump deployed the National Guard here in August. One was the murder of a Guard soldier less than a week ago.

Tell me you're a racist without telling me you're a racist....

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

Alternate take if you are not a Trump toady like Judge Winebox: Performative militarization of a relatively safe city — extremely so around the White House — puts lives unnecessarily at risk. This avoidable tragedy all falls on the administration.

the Doug Mills video embedded in the NYT Trump aging story is pretty amazing

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies. Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it: www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-p...

@cookingissues.bsky.social hey Dave. I know I’ve asked before but I forgot! When you make your infamous mom’s stuffing, what time and temp so you Sous Vide it? Thanks. AGAIN

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

The question remains, is his damage done at Russia’s behest? Or is he JUST a moron.

Telling working-class people that dressing well is the the key to improving physical well-being isn't a funny by-product of fascism, it's part of the process. "Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves." — Walter Benjamin

Trump is filling his government with Nazis, consolidating authoritarian power, and eroding democracy at every chance. And yet these 86 House Democrats voted for a right-wing messaging amendment to say that the real authoritarians are the socialists. Pathetic.

MTG is an experiment in how little it will take for white voters to ignore red flags they’ve already clocked

Fact is, Epstein is the *only* issue impervious to Trump/GOP messaging tactics. That's why Trump & MAGA keep freaking out—they literally don't know what to do when lying, misdirection, and demagoguery don't work. So they flail around, making it worse. Dropping it would be political malpractice.

I have a message for Donald Trump: Your past sexual abuse of teenagers has not lowered the price of eggs! by Chuck Schumer

"Legal experts point out that this effectively hands Trump the authority to unilaterally execute civilians who are not waging war against the United States in any recognizable sense." Read that again, I had to.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

WATCH - @tarapalmeri.bsky.social : “Hey Megyn Kelly… you want to hear the sound of one of the girls recruited from her nearby high school by Epstein? It is pedophilia. I would recommend you go listen to the audio from the police reports.”

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats. Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives. You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Jack Schlossberg says he'll run for the New York congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Jerrold Nadler. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/n...

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

Remember when editing an interview was supposed to be a crime?

Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis. Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I guess someone heard from Tylenol’s lawyers.

Why are Trump-supporting oligarchs spending a fortune to defeat @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social? Because they fear Mamdani's people-powered movement will end their plunder and finally make NYC affordable for the working class. Zohran is charting a path forward where billionaires have less power.

@stephruhle.bsky.social Andy Lack??? Seriously? Totally lost your way.

Using taxpayer dollars for propaganda has been illegal for nearly 75 years. That hasn't stopped Donald Trump.

A study of White House footage shows the vast majority of clips are from places other than Chicago — and that the video includes clips from Biden-era ICE HSI operations from 2024 and CBP drug busts from San Diego and Nogales from 2023.

"Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy" Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV, writes Zeteo's @swin24.bsky.social:

Best combination of a terrible headline and a great article I've seen in a while. Click-bait put to a good use. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

“YOU hit HER.” CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright: "I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you." This is how Broligarchs differ from oligarchs of yore: the latter tried to hide their thievery; the Broligarchs trumpet their entitlement to steal as a natural right.

Jfc.

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Sunder Katwala on race, patriotism and flag-waving: ‘The far right is vocal and angry because it is shrinking’

Liberals say that recent Supreme Court ruling have given the executive branch too much power. But they’re wrong, because the rulings only apply to Trump and will all be reversed when there’s a Democratic president.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Republicans cannot maintain message discipline. They can't stop bragging about how much they love shutdowns while crying about how they're the victims of mean ol' Democratic poopyheads. Republicans are very stupid and Democrats just have to hold the line to get healthcare for millions.
