"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

This is a central nazi belief on a level that most Americans cannot comprehend. Because Adolf Hitler genuinely expected England to stay out of WW2. Because he saw kinship with England. Because members of the British royal family were full-blown nazis. Hitler was just copying England, bar 4 bar.

Hitler would have murdered every Jewish person in Germany, every queer person, every person on the left. Tucker doesn't care because he wants to murder all those people as well.

Required Reading This is yet another reason why it’s so hard for survivors to speak up about sexual violence… if even the experts researching the subject have their words violated like this, how tf is someone with no power supposed to trust they’ll be listen D to & not misrepresented?

This is bad and it sucks, obviously. I'm guessing most of us doing this work (protesting, observing) correctly assumed this was the case. It'll likely continue to be the case. A short-term solution? We all need to get out there. These data are less relevant if we're all in the database.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

The core appeal of reactionary politics is hatred of competent and smart people who follow evidence rather than use it to support conclusions. A million incidents like this happen daily in academia and legal settings, and they're behind almost all right-wing "liberal bias" accusations.

if you are a Dem who for whatever reason does not feel comfortable actively defending trans rights (which you should) you have two good response options: 1. ignore it! just keep running ads about the economy 2. “I am focused on your pocketbook, my opponent is focused on children’s genitals”

Bashing trans people isn’t just morally wrong, there literally no political upside to it. You’ll never convince anyone who is vociferously against trans rights (like 6% of voters max) that you oppose it enough for them and you alienate your base at the same time. Show me this working just once!
