ro khanna appealed to far-right chinese who were likening rob bonta's bill to disaggregate data and lay bare disparities between east asians and southeast asians/pacific islanders to the nuremberg laws during his 2016 run where he defeated mike honda, him doing this shit is going mask off imo

A Democrat shares a video by one of America’s most notorious antisemites. He misses the very obvious antisemitic trope in the video. He then defends the share after people point this out to him.

Incredible stuff.

rogan looks like shit. not breaking news or anything, but he looks like a career alcoholic gloucester fisherman who keeps trying to tell you about the time he accidentally saw his step daughter in the shower

A picture of hideous, barrel-chested homunculus Joe Rogan in an aggressively snug, thin white hoodie and jeans. He’s just so odd and top-heavy while also being minute. Oh, and his face is terrible. He’s terrible, all covered in short prickly white hairs.

ironically...until recently ro took lots of funding bundled by aipac connected donors...he has for years...including the aipac chairperson

he recently boasted that his aipac donors 'followed' him on the genocide issue...more likely he followed them

Deleted my first response when I saw that Ro Khanna posted that. What a fucking disgrace. Best he'll be able to say is he didn't know. But, to be clear, that's not "the left," or "Bluesky." That's one witless narcissist of a politician posting what he mistakes for praise.

What the actual fuck, Ro Khanna? The best you're going to be able to come up with is you didn't know who Ian Carroll is--a very old antisemitic conspiracy theorist; a fascist. (I say that as a fierce critic of Israeli genocide.) What's next, Alex Jones?

Schumer's support for a 73-year-old former governor who is poised to lose to Sen Susan Collins as opposed to an oysterman who holds a 16 point lead over her is infuriating Maine Democrats and causing many more to demand his retirement from politics.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

My takeaways from Thiel's Secret Antichrist Lectures (embargo lifted):

1. Tech is building the "machinery" of the Antichrist. D'oh!

2. The Antichrist is defined by "velocity" ("acceleration," eh?)

3. The Antichrist will be Gen Z (weird numerology stuff about the number 33)

News: I have obtained full transcripts of Peter Thiel's Secret Antichrist Lectures (as have multiple other journalists).

They were supposed to be embargoed until 9 a.m. tomorrow, but Reuters has a story up. (They may have gotten them from a different source)

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.
