He didn't use procedural shit to try and overthrow the 2020 election, he sent a mob to try and kill people in Congress because the procedural and court shit didn't work out for him. That's what happened. I think people forget what J6 actually was. It wasn't about states rights or courtroom antics

So many things wrong with this "deal," but also: it's not a "massive" amount. If we actually receive 1,800,000 tons of diesel from Russia, that's equivalent to: * 3.3 days of US consumption, or * 10 days of US *exports*. It's a drop in the bucket. We send more than that overseas every two weeks.

Donald Trump is betraying Ukraine and the USA and violating his own Russian sanctions to buy oil from Russia because he’s terrified of losing the midterms because he’s in the Epstein Files over a million times.

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races? We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did. Guess which time they won by double digits?

Elon Musk’s America PAC Is Quietly Funding November’s Most Consequential Elections
America PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

This would sink a presidency in any other era. I would bet most Americans will never hear it even happened.

Trump bought over $1 million in SpaceX debt days before unveiling space policy
The purchase, revealed in his latest financial disclosure, involved a firm directly affected by his administration’s actions — and led by presidential ally Elon Musk.

Given that there is not likely to be a national, bipartisan demand for accountability in the wake of Trump — the major distinction with Nixon — any accountability, civil or criminal, will be a partisan and political project that I think should be pursued as vigorously as possible.

Just to be clear: we are fine in Minnesota. We are not being taken over, though there are more rabbits in our yard than some years. Also we still need to address creeping bellflower. But otherwise all good. Don’t need rescuing or another murderous occupation.

Ossoff is definitely not listening to Yglesias/Klein/PodSave reactionary centrist crowd, he does not think his marginal voter is a white-supremacist, and that is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the vast majority of US who are not white-supremacists.

Rooting for a Rays-Brewers series because it’ll be the first since 1980 between teams that have never won a World Series. Before that 1980 Phils-Royals series, the last one was 1920; both clubs have changed their names since, but it was Cleveland-Brooklyn Robins.

I searched Amazon 10 times and logged the first 25 results. The best deal was in the top four only 3 times. Here's my own take on a study that found Amazon buries its best deals. In fact, if you buy anything in the first row, you'll almost always overpay. www.not-ship.com/amazon-searc...
Chart showing where the best deal appeared among the first 25 Amazon search results for 10 products. Only three were in the top row: paper towels (1st), water bottle (3rd) and shower curtain liner (4th). The rest were further down: yoga mat (5th), AA batteries and garbage bags (6th), HDMI cable (8th), black leggings (15th), bean bag chair (16th) and USB-C cable (20th).

I find it interesting that both of the baseball players Donald Trump has advocated for and/or honored this year – Roger Clemens and Pete Rose – were involved in the exploitation of girls who were no older than 15 at the time. What a weird coincidence.

Really great thread here and this essay is wonderful. It makes me feel more sane for being long repulsed by this ghoul of a show.
It is a performance of joy so excessive, so desperate, that it reveals the void it attempts to cover. It is the logic of the assembly line applied to human connection. What Fallon offers is a standardized production of “fun” that feels increasingly like a desperate plea to ignore the crumbling world outside the studio walls.
