the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

A constitutional order that cannot remove a chief executive at this point is not worth saving. We need massive, wholesale, fundamental institutional reform.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

Is it overly optimistic to note that among the next 3 finishers the social democrats + centrists (who endorsed Lula last time) out-polled the ultra-rightists by ~3.75M? The margin between Bolsonaro and Lula was ~2.25M.

Tho I actually like this post better. IMO, one smart response to these ads is to taunt GOP MoCs that Trump is still sitting on mountains of $$ and instead using taxpayer dollars to remind voters what a corrupt asshole he is.

The inept White House political propagandists are using our money on government-sponsored campaign TV ads for the sinking GOP. The latest commercial tries to rally the dwindling MAGA base by reminding them that Trump once posed as a fighter against warmongers and a corrupt political establishment, but the recycled ad just sharply reminds everyone that the lying Trump is the war-maker-in-chief and presides over the most corrupt presidential administration in U.S. history. You can’t use our tax dollars to fool us.

NEW: The Trump admin is airing *another* taxpayer-funded political ad, & this time, it's from his 2024 campaign.

Trump says in the ad: "We will demolish the deep state, expel the warmongers from our government... We will rout the fake news media..."

One of the biggest media failures (among many) of the past year has been the failure to cover the Venezuela "operation" for what it was--a smash-and-grab mafia state theft by the U.S. that violates international law and the rights of Venezuelans while achieving very damn little for the U.S.

TIL that if you're donating via ActBlue you need to read the blurb on the donation page carefully to make sure you're not sending $ to a PAC. It looks like the Hamilton campaign has paid Google to put their link first (for now) but the AI result points to TWO scam PACs and NOT the campaign.
