❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Trump's October Surprise: Making the US a satellite of Russia. (Just like the old USSR...but with more golf.)

Bravo NYT's habit of anesthetizing headlines and framing patronizes both its readers and the reporters who have indeed broken so many Trump stories. It doesn't buy them any credibility with the critics who want to tear them down. The American Right doesn't want a fair NYT, it wants a docile NYT.

Media outlets that are taking federal funds to run these ads should be on notice that they're on the hook for restitution, and maybe charges of receiving stolen property.

Russian missiles are attacking Kyiv. Trump thanks Putin for the deal. Buying Russian diesel will not solve the US fuel problems. It is at most a short-term psychological tactic aimed at easing gas station prices ahead of the elections. The main beneficiary of this deal is Russia.

Understand that what's most likely here is that the "productive discussions" are discussions on how to keep discussions non-productive.

Republicans trained their voters to believe in the fabled "Republican brand," and trained media to marvel at its savviness. With branding reality becomes whatever Republican leaders say it is. That's one reason why crippling the "Republican brand' in this election is so important.

Thom Tillis now with Ari Melber on MS-NOW saying that he was so righteously incensed when Trump attacked him that he (Tillis) decided to quit his race for re-election, as if this was a defiant show of courage. Sheesh...... And he's peddling a book about his courage.
