ALSOBROOKS: I have the recording. I can play it
RFK Jr: I do not believe that every Black kid should be re-parented on a wellness farm and I have never believed it
ALSOBROOKS: Well you said it, sir, I have the video
RFK Jr: I'd have to see the transcript
I would watch a reverse heist movie where people stole from a rich guy's hypersecuritized mansion and gave the artwork to a public university's special collections
SPLC Union Logo: Yesterday, the Department of Justice leveled outrageous allegations at the Southern Poverty Law Center. In so doing, they maligned the integrity of the SPLC workers who have labored tirelessly for decades to expose the dangerous cruelty of extremists and hate groups in the United States.
SPLC Union Logo: This work is punishing. It takes a toll on our health and on our safety. But we persist because we believe in our mission to advance justice for all, and we believe that investigating, naming, and alerting the American people to the activities of those who seek to harm our neighbors is a moral imperative and an essential public service.
Today our colleagues are facing abuse and harassment from the far-right figures emboldened by this attack. But we will not be deterred, we will not be intimidated, and we will continue to name racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and all hate for the blight that it is.
Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."
They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.
Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.
You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.
people don't really get that because witches can't sink, they're a direct threat to surface combatants
"the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power..."

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.
There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps.
Izzy Stone was mocking White House reporters as useless back in the 1950s
“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.”

there are going to be people who say, take a wait and see approach to how the Court will treat the next Dem president
and those people are wrong, we know exactly how they will treat that person and it is the polar opposite of how they treat Trump
strike at them immediately, first order of business
I mean. They’d be innocent even if they WERE related, because that’s not how guilt works.
This kind of antifeminism is a socialism of fools, wherein working class resentment at exploitative elites is diverted into anger at feminized phantasms, like “HR.”
Devin Nunes was not an obvious choice to run a fledgling social media network, but after $1.1 billion in losses, the former dairy farmer and congressman is out as the head of Truth Social.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.
We are very happy that today Apple issued a patch and a security advisory. This comes following 404 Media reporting that the FBI accessed Signal message notification content via iOS despite the app being deleted.
A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.
museum heists are literally stealing from the public to benefit the evil rich, which is obvious if you think about it for like 2.5 seconds
ahhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHhhhh
Remarkable: 100% of the ads in Northern Virginia heavily featured Trump to turn out voters for the redistricting referendum in the closing days, a source tells me.
That's right, all of the ads were all about Trump. This backfired for him spectacularly.
New piece:

"It could take six months to fully clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines deployed by the Iranian military, and any such operation is unlikely to be carried out until the U.S. war with Iran ends, the Pentagon has informed Congress"
This is my shocked face
Netanyahu says he’s 'saddened' by images of an IDF soldier defacing a crucifix in Lebanon.
But if he truly cared about attacks against Christians, he’d end rampant settler violence against them in the West Bank & harassment in Jerusalem.
Being sad isn't enough, DO SOMETHING!
"It would be really bad if they don't work out this Hormuz thing, so they'll figure it out some way" is still the prevailing attitude.
Can see it in markets, media, politicians, public.
Bad can't happen, people in charge know what they're doing, it's all content anyway.
I find it... unsettling.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.
Boomers have refused to give up power for fifty years. they are the main characters of the universe. I genuinely think they believe reality will cease when they die. they are expiring in office just to keep tiny amounts of power from falling into the hands of (crosses self) millennials especially.
this is I think the key to the Trump magic
a lot of his audience knows that he’s bullshitting but - importantly - feels that they are in on it
The political freakout among some corners about a small number of government run grocery stores aimed at addressing the hunger of the poor is wild to me, in part because all over the country there are ways you could get groceries for free, and even delivered to u for free. Food pantries, etc…
DARVO-ass administration of Epstein Class crooks
