Today marks 6 years since the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. We will not forget Jamal. We stand in solidarity with all journalists who persist in reporting the truth despite the risks.

Holy shit. You mean to tell me that when Elon posted this, he was just bald-faced lying and was actually giving tens of millions of dollars to to the RW? I am absolutely shocked. Speechless, even.

Ran into Nikki Haley in DC. Started to ask if it’s a problem that the ticket she backs won’t acknowledge who won the 2020 election, and her aide cut me off. “She’s not doing interviews right now,” the aide said. Haley was literally walking into Fox for an interview.

Government officials working round the clock on disaster relief have to spend time debunking Elon Musk’s despicable lies is horrendous. I know he loves Trump and will do anything he can to get him elected, but does he have to shit on people who are hurting and need the truth?

Republican officials in NC are literally begging far right influencers to stop shitposting conspiracy theories about FEMA stealing supplies, corpses stacking up, lithium heists, weather control, and the federal govt abandoning them.

The Haitian immigrant story and the north Carolina relief story are the most infuriating examples of people who claim to be Christians willingly repeating abject lies, repeatedly, knowing they are lies and will cause harm.

This is one of the most elaborate resignation announcements I've ever seen.

I don't care what the point spread says Vanderbilt beating no. 1 Alabama is as big an upset as you're ever going to watch. Vandy was 2-32 in SEC play since 2020. unbelievable, literally unable to process.

Truly incredible that the expansion of the B1G/SEC played out in extremely predictable eat-your-own fashion leaving the door wide open for a “power” school in another league to waltz to an easy top seed and Florida State instead went 1-5.

Elon gets it honest.

I googled what "declaring a climate emergency" would mean and it seems like what it means is "you declared a climate emergency."

It’s often not Trump’s opponents but his supporters who look down on and condescend to him, assuming that he’s lazy or stupid and that they can manipulate him or bend him to their own ends. Paul Ryan had his time with this, as did McConnell, John Kelly, Mike Pence and others.

I’m not that well-versed in this, but I believe this was an important dynamic in the rise of fascism — Mussolini and Hitler were seen as clownish figures who could be used as figureheads to manipulate the masses, they just turned out to actually be pretty serious.

Republican officials are starting to realize that the party's propaganda wing is going to get people killed. mediamatters.org/hurricanes/it-…

8th anniversary of this tweet: (2016)

One of the great running gags of American politics: Trump's two great successes are appointing Jay Powell and Operation Warp Speed, but for the stupidest reasons possible he now has to disavow both.

Handing Merrick Garland one of the most important cabinet posts as a literal participation trophy instead of giving it to someone like Doug Jones was unequivocally the worst personnel decision of the entire administration

The root of conspiracy theory is a fear of change. All that uncertainty and worry creates a deep sadness. Sadness is very difficult to process, so it evolves into anger. Lies are then accepted at face value because rage is easier than responsibility.

Reading my morning NYT. Buried lede. Wait. What? Isn’t this what they misled the public and got hot and bothered about four years ago?
