Tucker Carlson, once a Trump ally, apologized for “misleading” people by endorsing Trump’s presidential bid, calling the war in Iran a “betrayal” of his promises.

Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution.
This decision is a win for all Pennsylvanians.
The government shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions - you should.

After the GOPedo Protectors gerrymandered Texas to try & rig the midterms, Trump is freaking out because he fears Virginia will help stop his anti-American power grab by voting “Yes” today
This is like what happened 45 years ago with Vietnam.
The U.S. negotiators booked a week at a fancy hotel to try to negotiate peace with the North Vietnamese. The Vietnamese contingent booked a 6 month stay at a similar hotel across town.
No shit
Do not underestimate your opponents’ ability
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

He means make it harder for blue states or blue areas to get said Medicare, the GOP plan is indeed, die faster
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Like so much else Trump has done, he’s turned what was once a great department into a fucking mess. And it frankly breaks my heart.

So, corporations and businesses "who paid tariffs" are now eligible to receive refunds.
However, it's common knowledge that consumers paid the tariffs via a tax.
Sounds like "trickle down economics" scamming the average consumer, all over again. Right?

“Under this president, the United States does not have a grand strategy—that is, an overarching plan to marshal U.S. military, diplomatic, economic, technological, intelligence-gathering, and cultural power to achieve precise national objectives. That’s not how Donald operates. He’s all id.”
WTH!

"I'm doing a ballroom now" -- Trump is now ranting about his ballroom on CNBC
Rep. Rosa DeLauro to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in the House Appropriations Committee hearing:
"The American people sense that this administration is out-of-touch...This administration is asleep at the wheel. They do not have any idea of what the American people need or want."

Happy Election Day, Virginia!🇺🇸
This is how we fight back. Trump and MAGA started this power grab. Now Virginians can stop it.
Get out and vote YES on the redistricting referendum.
Also -- the Orange Humiliation has never done a day's work in his life. If your entire filthy existance is about terrorizing scapegoats, sending your gestapo to open fire on innocent people in your own country, and mostly raping, torturing, eating and murdering helpless children -- that's not work.
With the leak to the NYT of their internal notes to each other, I hope the conservative justices on SCOTUS are currently *very* paranoid about talking to each other. Because at least one of them is (or has staff who is) indiscreet and disloyal.
Keep looking over your shoulders, fascists!
Detention expansion is key to Trump’s goal of one million deportations.
But the regime is trying to keep its construction of concentration camps quiet because the more people hear about them, the more they oppose these camps. That backlash is a real problem for Republicans.
Finally, I’ll mention a mindset in vogue among a certain crop of media executives. Although they claim to want politics out of the newsroom — and I do, too —they simultaneously propose a political calculus for their journalists. The new owner of CBS and the current editor-in-chief of the news division, for instance, set an explicit objective of appealing to the center right and the center left. That is a political goal. It is not a journalistic one. And it is a far cry from how Jack Knight instructed his newsroom: “Get the truth and publish it.” That is a journalistic goal. Media owners who substitute political goal posts for news values find refuge in sophistry. They lay claim to ethics; instead, they subvert them. Their path may be one of commercial convenience. Or of timidity. Or of appeasement to regulators, legislators and the president himself. Or the instinctual path of those who see the press only through the lens of politics. But a news outlet of that formulation is fated to compromise ethics when a rock-solid story moving toward publication is deemed to fall outside the designated political comfort zone.
Come for @sulliview.bsky.social's focus on former WaPo EIC Marty Baron's spot on comments about the wildly political content objectives of both David Ellison & Bari Weiss; stay for the criticism of the NYT's Mrs. Bezos fluff.
