Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape. But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused." More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

Thou shalt accept that DEI didn't hold your career back -- you're just mid, bro.

Amazing that we live in a country where a president elect who has been charged criminally is attempting to suppress the evidence against him and the media is going to let him do it without paying a political price.

@jimacosta.bsky.social Thank you for speaking the truth, straight up.

Donations to Biden's inaugural fund in 2021: Meta = $0 Tim Cook = $0 Sam Altman = $0 Google = $200,000 Amazon = $200,000 Donations to Trump's inaugural fund in 2025: Meta = $1,000,000 Tim Cook = $1,000,000 Sam Altman = $1,000,000 Google = $1,000,000 Amazon = $1,000,000 The oligarchy is here.

Making sure elderly politicians “finally get their shot” is not important. Defeating fascism is.

It’s ok to judge people on their politics, for their political beliefs reflect their morality.

America has 815 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.7 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $3.7 trillion in wealth. When 815 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

here's a word that "regular people" use: coward

See how that works. Happy Sunday!

When people promise to run a government like they would run a business, they are promising to wring every penny out of it for themselves and leave everyone else underpaid and underinsured.

Whew! A major Tesla investor, Ross Gerber, holding over $100 million in Tesla stock, slams Elon Musk for backing a Neo-Nazi-linked party in Germany. @gerberkawasaki.bsky.social

UPDATE: Joseph Corcoran has been killed by the state of Indiana. A reporter from the Indiana Capital Chronicle, Casey Smith, was allowed to witness the execution, after Corcoran added her to his witness list. From what the editor-in-chief says here, the execution took around 40 minutes.

Serious question: Why are white people so afraid of becoming a minority? Does America treat minorities badly or something?

It is. Daddy knows she'll never look at him this way. The disgusting cherry is that Donald seems to need her to...

Still incredible to me that if Kamala Harris had 0.17% more and Trump had 0.31% less this would statistically be a 49%-49% popular vote tie No idea why I care, I guess it's the little things that give me any hope of still having any hope for this country in a time of vast and expanding hopelessness

Sold.

The thing about Mika and Joe is that they’re in the business of journalism not nation-state diplomacy. And they seem confused about that (despite the penthouse, country mansion, and fine dining that their news salaries afford them).

South Korean lawmakers have already moved to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol after his martial law fiasco. That’s what courage in the legislative branch looks like. Too bad we have none of that here.

IF DEMS NOMINATED PEOPLE W/THESE CHARGES “If a Democratic president…had presented a roster of nominees who had these kinds of charges against them, we know that the Republicans on the other side of the aisle… would be calling people in front of committees to demand an explanation…” Michelle Norris

My almost 4 year old asked me to make her avocado toast and then told me “ugh, it’s mid”

I love scary movies but living in one for 4 years seems a little excessive.

I feel this.

All due respect to Bernie, if your tweet starts with “Elon Musk is right”, keep it in the drafts folder.

Elon bought Twitter because it had become a remarkably effective place for the left to communicate and change the public narrative. And he wanted to shut that down. He succeeded. He shouldn’t have that power anymore.

Alexander Vindman is a patriot. Elon Musk, himself an oligarch, is drunk on power and out of control.

The normalization of the press kissing power’s ass rather than speaking truth to it is staggering.

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the irrepressible love of freedom in our land, the wisdom of our Founders and successive generations who built strong democracy, and the joyful goodness of our families. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Trump cowers when confronted by the Mexican president; His new cabinet pick tells Americans to get ready for “pain”; Dems score surprise wins in the House; and more. All this on a special Thanksgiving edition of the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT! 👇

The meme I didn't know I needed

Leon can buy the site but he can’t make us post there

I ask the people in power, with large platforms and public profiles: For the last few years, you have been saying what everyday Americans need to do. With Trump coming: Isn't it your time to stand up? Isn't it your time to show some heroism? Isn't it your time to do what you expected from others?

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

My favorite thing about bluesky is we can disagree about stuff like Garland, but no one is a huge asshole about it. Everyone is super-nice and people make genuine points and ask legit questions. Thanks for that!!

It's simple, Rudy. Don't break the law. There are consequences for some.
