Republicans are literally putting criminal men into women’s bathrooms
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

“Right wing phone farms feeding AI slop (covertly, across major social media platforms) to armies of AI bots pretending to be part of a popular conservative movement …”

To deceive and manipulate users.

Billionaire power grab and profiteering.

Yes. An explicit example of the overall, past and ongoing, oppression by a certain group of people against all the rest of us. That system must be stopped and dismantled immediately.
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Amazingly thoughtful. This is the way. And by the way …

Senate Dems: Do not obey in advance. Do not bend a knee. Do not surrender now. Do not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Reeps: F*ck all the way off. And release the files, you disgusting pedo protectors.
Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. trib.al/g2oCPbB

The truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.

GLASSER: The clock “is ticking for Trump .. The President himself knows it.” He didn’t mention the truth that “neither he nor his Party seems to have begun reckoning with: he won’t be on the ballot heading the ticket ever again.”

AI researchers claim there’s “definitive” proof the Health Secretary and his team used AI to write his MAHA report.

Some of the 522 scientific references in the report include the phrase “OAIcite” in their URLs—a marker indicating the use of OpenAI.

I'll never be a scold about the gambling flow that animates the lower reaches of the market. It's always been there, is closer to how Wall St. started than platitudes about capital formation. But it's been pretty frisky lately. At some point the mob will overplay its hand, with broader implications.

Two of many important observations from an in-depth polling analysis:

“America has an anti-MAGA majority, but not necessarily a pro-Democratic one.”

“Democracy is not a spectator sport.”

If voters had known in November what they know now—which could and should have been possible—Trump would have lost.
