If your thing is protecting women, there’s *exponentially* more sexual assaults on campus than there are trans women competing athletically on campus.

In one month from now Trump will be openly seeking to overturn the Nov 3 results. We all know that is coming. That is why Democratic AGs should announce now that if anyone tries to interfere in their election--including Trump-they will prosecute under state law. Trump can't pardon state crimes!

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

I partly agree with this, but I would include another factor: "rich or poor, millions of people are incapable of understanding how their interests relate to government policy, which is why we had business owners and teamsters voting for tariffs and trade wars that are bad for both of them."

Only in Republican America is it illegal to give water to people waiting in line to vote, but it's OK for the president to bribe them with a promise of $5,000 to influence *how* they vote.

When you’re out today, take in the faces of those who live in your community, and those visiting. Consider the billions you cant see. Contemplate the immense power of individuals who consider us all to be members of a disposable species. They are actively working to implement their beliefs. Are you?

Once you notice this, it's the most obvious double standard in the political press. Democrats have to answer for the smallest voice even if it has no actual tie to them, but Republicans never have to answer for the insanely racist billionaire donor driving their entire party.

INVESTIGATION: Canada’s National Observer has discovered a network of deceptive, AI-generated websites promoting Albertan separatism. The websites, rather than targeting human readers, are targeting chatbots — trying to influence the answers they provide.

A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots
The websites present crude, AI-generated slop disguised as the voice of real Albertans. But they're made in Florida — and they're not even targeting Albertans directly.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

That's not how executive orders work and that's not how naming things work and this isn't how political reporting should work either. This event should be covered, yes, but as another sign of the president's steady descent into complete ineffectiveness and utter insanity.

When your government says it’s planning to open multiple prisons that will house up to 3,000 children, it’s time to demand a new government. There is no context in which this is legitimate or acceptable.

Have you noticed the tributes to Lindsey Graham don't cite any actual legislative accomplishments that benefited his constituents? It's a lot of "he was a strong voice" & "got along with everyone"- generic stuff you could say about anyone. His actual legacy is fluffing Trump & reckless war-mongering

1,100,000 Americans died from Covid, and these fucking scumbags want everyone to believe that it was all a hoax & didn't happen. My Mom died in a Covid ward in 2020. I couldn't get in to see her. A nurse held up the phone to my Mom's ear so I could tell her goodbye. I hate these people. Truly.

@espiers.bsky.social Canadian resident & Slate Money fan here! Canadians may prefer European cheeses, but the tariffs on American dairy products have to do with Canada’s dairy supply management. Lots of small producers, few big processors. Govt wants to keep esp small Quebec producers in business

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

Sad to report that the iconic Sky-way Drive-in in Akron closed abruptly after 72 years. If you're not from the Rubber City you can't understand what an existential blow this is. I put Sky-way in PUNK ROCK & TRAILER PARKS. My protagonist Otto takes the Ramones there for a post-gig meal!

Said in a speech less than two weeks after the U.S. double-tap strike that killed 168 at an elementary school, mostly little girls under age 12. And Lindsey punctuated it with a snickering laugh. Not only will I not take the high road with him, I am suspicious of anyone who does.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
