Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

Important bit in here -- the Intelligence Community under Trump confirmed before he left office in 2021 that "We have no indications that any foreign actor attempted to alter any technical aspect of the voting process in the 2020 US elections."

and are these investments in the US on top of the other ones he said they were going to make, that were already larger than their entire GDP? Are these investments in the room with him right now?

The illegal, unethical, a-strategic US boat bombing campaign continues, failing to achieve its stated goal of countering drug trafficking. Just as many critics said at the start. It’s just murderous. As if killing to kill, to make the killers feel big, and to undermine law and ethics, is the point.

Trump pulled Patel off a tarmac as he was taking the FBI plane to see his girlfriend sing in Chicago to order him to investigate the NYT for reporting on how, even after a $1 billion upgrade with public funds, the plane Qatar bribed Trump with is still inadequate. It's matryoshka doll corruption.

No truth to the rumors that it was a severe case of the vapors

To say that European Jewish culture failed because it did not stop Nazism is to say it is the sole obligation of the marginalized community to win their own rights. It’s like arguing trans culture has failed because of US politics today. It’s placing a failure of all of humanity onto one group.

This is my favorite thing I've written for @mcsweeneys.net in a while. Hope you folks enjoy it! I think the headline pretty much clears up what it's about.

Here's why you may not know that: 64% of Memphis residents are Black. There are other reasons, but mostly that.

New: The National Science Foundation is preparing to claw back some $500 million in funds from some of its core science programs in physics, math, computer science, and engineering in order to fund a project from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Cuba's vintage cars have largely vanished, but they are now being replaced by small electric tricycles.

really think that if democrats hold any chamber of congress next year that a condition of passing a budget is the removal of russ vought, who has a genuinely tyrannical vision of presidential power and is a focal point of the lawlessness of the trump administration

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms. The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment.

The US global dominance in higher ed & scientific innovation was based on strong govt investment and an ability to attract top international talent. Trump is weakening both: "In this century, overall, the émigré fraction for U.S. Nobels in physics, chemistry and medicine now stands at 40 percent."

I will never understand why the entire Democratic Party isn't running on this. There's an abundance of evidence that for the last 50 years at least Dems are MUCH better for the economy. They need a unified message, simple and full of facts, and all of them need to repeat it over and over again.

Someday, JD Vance will learn about Trump’s many pardons for convicted fraudsters, and he’s going to be *amazed* by how “pro-fraud” his boss is. tinyurl.com/4enutewv

The GOP keeps insisting that Trump's profiting from the presidency is all right because "the American people voted for a businessman" but the American people voted for a farmer in Jimmy Carter too ... and then we immediately forced him to give up the goddamn farm.

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

This is nearly 1:1 what Alex Jones is doing. He was denied cert in the Supreme Court, which ends all appeal avenues for $1.35 billion in judgments, and is now delaying payout based on a second judgment he owes to a separate set of families. All the same playbook to never pay victims.
