Ok, whoever’s the last sane human departing, be sure to turn out the lights on this shitshow. Free speech for cultists only.

Boom. Jessica Tarlov just set the record straight on Fox, not only calling out the lie that Mayor Bass cut the LA Fire Department budget, but that she INCREASED it by $50 million. This is how it’s done. A masterclass in fact-checking. Watch & share 👇

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.
You have a right to see this file.

Trump on how they plan to seize university endowments to force compliance for their ideological purges.
But I’m overreacting. 🙄

This is exactly why I find the focus on Dem mistakes right now so counterproductive. If we don’t address the media and disinfo no amount of strategy changes will help

The median voter wants:
-low taxes but high spending
-low inflation but monthly $2000 checks
-high tariffs but also free trade
-repeal Obamacare, but keep the Affordable Care Act

This will be a post that will piss everyone off, and I welcome it but here it is.
Based on data we are learning, this isn't a blowout Trump win. Numbers don't back it up. Not a landslide. Not a damning referendum.
Harris didn't run a terrible campaign. In fact impressive considering she had 2.5 months and got close in a post pandemic environment where nearly every incumbent got destroyed. She did much better than Biden would've based on internal Dem polls.
Yes, she made mistakes and Dems must improve and Biden made mistakes. All true. But Dems also picked up seats in swing states and won on abortion rights and against school vouchers.
People who had correct facts about economy, crime, immigration, inflation and trans issues overwhelmingly went Harris. Those who didn't? Trump. Her policies when presented blindly to Trump supporters were popular to them.
People are missing the post pandemic reality, the power of racism and identity politics of Trump's campaign, the failures of corporate media and influence of right wing disinformation as major factors.
RIP my mentions.

Unearthed audio of Steve Bannon from 2020: “What Trump is gonna do is declare victory. That doesn’t mean he’s the winner. He’s just gonna say he’s the winner… He’s just gonna say they stole it. Trump is gonna do some crazy shit”

Omg they did a male version of the ‘secret vote’ ad and it’s even better than the female version.

-N. Korea tortured US citizen Otto Warmbier to death.
-Saudis dismembered US resident Jamal Kashoggi
-Putin hacked the US electrical grid.
Trump did nothing about any of it. Why is this ok w/you?

Pay attention working America. Biden brought manufacturing back to America and these guys will take it away.

Cardi B, who is campaigning with Kamala Harris today in Milwaukee, is a policy nerd and an FDR historian.
I loved when her high school history teacher defended her on Facebook.

Dear @GlennKesslerWP: I was right and you were wrong. Trump is all over the Epstein files.

As the political press asks, "Is Trump ~actually~ threatening Liz Cheney?," let me suggest a different process; one we might call "remembering the past." In 2020, Trump told the Proud Boys to "Stand Back and Stand By." What happened next?

Abortion bans kill another woman. On the day of her baby shower, Nevaeh Crain went to the ER bleeding & feverish. She was diagnosed with sepsis, a deadly infection - but her fetus still had a heart beat. She was sent home. After her 3rd ER visit, she died.
