The Epstein files coverup --
Ghislaine Maxwell is a liar and sex criminal. But MAGA is using her gender to lull people into thinking she's trustworthy. Notably, this is the same scam she ran on her and Epstein's victims: Make them think she's "safe" because she's a woman. www.salon.com/2025/08/27/g...

"It’s telling that the MAGA audience is awfully selective in what women they choose to listen to and believe. "Blanche interviewed Maxwell for two days, but he apparently hasn’t even considered talking to the women whose testimony helped convict her." www.salon.com/2025/08/27/g...

Stop peddling harmful bullshit! --
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Trump's ICE goons go after firefighters --
JFC "It is unusual for federal border agents to make arrests during the fighting of an active fire, especially in a remote area."

It's pretty simple, except for those who won't see --
It’s a little bit funny that so many people with influential platforms remain committed to the idea that Trumpism, as a political project, is mysterious and hard to pin down – while Trump himself constantly goes “Gotta protect the white real Americans from the black and brown hordes.”

A de minimus president gets de minimus results --
Of all the many many ways I imagined Trump would ruin this country, I have to admit “sealing us off from outside mail” wasn’t in the mix.

"Discount rack Mao" --
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Trump polls new low, Democrats outperforming bigly --
New Quinnipiac poll just dropped. Few highlights for me: - New low for Trump at 37% approval (lol) - 49% strongly disapprove - Only 20% approval with Indies (YIKKEESS) - 50% say economy is "getting worse" Overall, just an awful poll for the GOP. Early voting starts in NJ & VA in just a few weeks.

We've just updated our special election Big Board with Drey's big win (10.46 pts, not 11 as stated above). Across 34 special elections this year, Dems are outperforming last year's presidential results by an average of 16 points. That's far ahead of 2017-18.

MAGA theatre --
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.

Remembering Emmett Till before Trump erases him from history --
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
