Americans really need to come to the conclusion that Fox in its entirety must be wiped out of existence.

It was awful that some were pardoned! Now this vacating the convictions is how they erase this disgraceful episode in our history!

Who is writing this drivel? I really don’t think he is capable of writing this!

Secret Election Funders (via NYT) U.S. politics has seen a stunning increase in dark money donations, undermining promises from the Supreme Court.

i’m so old i remember when obama called out SCOTUS for citizens united during a SOTU, predicting this would happen, and alito shook his head and said “that’s not true”

58,220 US soldiers died in the Vietnam war!

AI industry taps January 6 operative to run $100 million campaign to boost MAGA candidates The AI industry has tapped Taylor Budowich, a key operative in the effort to undermine the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, to lead a new group dedicated to boosting Republican candidates…

1. The AI industry has tapped Taylor Budowich, a key operative in the effort to undermine the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, to lead a new group dedicated to boosting GOP candidates in the 2026 midterms.

The group is reportedly planning to spend $100 million.

Ending citizens united needs to be a top policy initiative

"The Innovation Council is currently organized as a nonprofit, so it is not required to disclose its donors"

It's still incredible that it is possible in this country to inject large sums into politics while staying in the shadows.

4. In a text exchange with Caroline Wren, who was also involved in “Stop the Steal” organizing, Budowich said that Trump needed to “end his speech [outside the White House on January 6, 2021] by saying something like ‘Now go march on the capital [sic]. march to save America.’”

3. Budowich directed over $200,000 for radio and social media advertisements to build the crowd on January 6, 2021. The money was funneled through a dark-money nonprofit.

Budowich sued the Congressional committee investigating the Jan 6 attack to keep the identity of the donor secret.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here.

Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

It’s always revenge with this administration!

Me too!

Such competent people in charge! Ugh! 😩

when you add your name to a performance hall and everyone booked for two years cancels, so you have to pretend to renovate

Trump’s name must be completely removed from every single thing when this is finally over. Every single thing.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Gillibrand calls for Hegseth to resign over bombing of Iranian elementary school. More to follow, one assumes:

And the grift goes on…

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"

Exactly. He’s amazing! ❤️

Great tribute to Rev. Jackson!

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Lawrence Jones said that six presidents had tried and failed to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. I've included a reminder about international agreement (JCPOA) Obama brokered to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon in 2015.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social nutshells it.
