This is what's so noxious about Donald Trump's new adoptive failson JD Vance and his long line of creepy podcast hosts and thinkfluencers and the money that backs them both. We are all human. We don't have *a point within* society. We *are* society.

No stories on: 1) The leaked emails. 2) The $10 million Egyptian payoff 3) Trump's cognitive state. But we do have a NYT feature on why Harris is "light on policy."

For anyone curious what it took to get Lewandowski fired from his last Trumpworld sinecure, this was his behavior with the wife of a donor he'd never met. Please feel free to ask yourself who could possibly treat a creature like this as a trusted advisor?

The biggest scandal on the right, the one that's actually got them running scared & turning on one another, is ... ... they wrote their policies down.

I just can’t emphasize enough: Trump watching cable news coverage of himself, then bitching and whining like a pathetic toddler in gibberish posts like this, is seriously how he spent the majority of his time as president.

The extreme bias of the New York Times in 2016 toward Hillary Clinton clearly cost her the election and many Democrats are wary that it will do the same to Kamala Harris. But they need to understand why the Times has such outsized influence on American politics.

Consider: 1. Harris & Walz should talk in substantive terms about their policies & plans. 2. Harris & Walz should give exclusive interviews to high-profile political journos. My point is, these two asks are *utterly distinct* & almost entirely unrelated to one another.

When X censored political opposition in Turkey and India, Musk claimed he had to follow local laws. Now Brazil asks X to follow local laws, and Musk's refusing, claiming it's because free speech. It's not free speech, it's does he like you, and no one should pretend otherwise.

Can you imagine if this were happening in another European city with 1.5 million people instead of Kharkiv? And what would the world’s reaction be?

On Friday, a man tried to violently attack the press at Trump rally in Pennsylvania, while Trump defended him calling the behavior “beautiful” and saying “he’s on our side.” This weekend, there hasn’t been a single major newspaper op-ed denouncing his violent rhetoric.

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning: "For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles." Well worth your time: economist.com/interactive/un…

Joyce Alene The Harris campaign is doing a Freedom Bus Tour with 50 stops focusing on reproductive freedom. Trump is going to sundown towns to rally the white supremacist vote. See the difference? Kamala looks to the future and restoring rights. Trump looks to the past and Jim Crow.

The Economist just published this incredible and tragic chart. Given how many people are killed each year by big cars, it's worth understanding how we got here. Story time 🧵

Media: What do you plan to do for the country? Trump: I'll do great things, the best anybody has ever seen. Media: Thanks Media; Madam VP? Kamala: I will tax the rich, support U.S. manufacturing, continue to strengthen our alliances... Media: Can you be more specific?

(📣) The President of Brazil has issued a statement about Twitter: “The world isn’t obliged to put up with Elon Musk’s far-right free-for-all just because he is rich.” RETWEET if you agree. theguardian.com/world/article/…

You're telling me that Tenet Media — the Blaze Media / TPUSA adjacent outlet that features Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Texas' own Taylor Hansen — has been secretly funded and directed by Russia Today employees?
