Not worried about military operations around Venezuela. Tulsi Gabbard is in the admin and she is a staunch opponent of "regime change wars." I was also born at 9 am yesterday.

i like when the road becomes a train and also a ladder appears, and then the train is the platform, also when the guy just jumps in the air for some reason

Among the range of right-wing slop news sites who joined the Pentagon press corps this week is Infowars, the conspiracy website run by Alex Jones. Breanna Morello, who said she left "Fox Corp over the Covid mandate," will be representing the group.

meanwhile every day for like a month curtis sliwa has been out here saying stuff like “the only way I’m getting out of this race is if you physically push me onto the tracks and even then I might survive I’ve done it before”
On Sid Rosenberg's talk radio show, Andrew Cuomo voices openness to offering Curtis Sliwa a job in his potential administration in exchange for him dropping out of the mayoral race.

"That would be something i would be interested in," Cuomo says.
I get why people believed the line "let them eat cake" even if it wasn't an actual quote
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Hasan: I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial and multicultural democratic experiment destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.

Friends, I could not be more thrilled to be joining @jenrubin.bsky.social, @normeisen.bsky.social, and the wildly talented crew of The Contrarian.
we’ve hired Tim Dickinson from Rolling Stone as sr politics writer and editor. He begins 10/18 leading “No Kings" coverage from Portland.Me:”Tim's journalistic excellence over decades and his track record in covering authoritarianism and threats to democracy make him an ideal fit for The Contrarian
In her farewell note, CBS News’ standards chief alluded to the reason for her departure—but in private, she was more blunt about the motive behind her exit.

It’s very funny that Cuomo tried to do some italian identity politics last night and fucked up his italian (idk how many italian americans in nyc actually still speak it but)

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

NBC asks Cuomo specifically how he'd reassure Muslim & Arab NYers that he isn't hostile to them.

Cuomo does not answer it, attacks Mamdani for being anti-Semitic.

The moderator interrupts to ask the question again. Cuomo's only answer is Mamdani isn't representative of Muslims.

Glenn Beck has been targeting these same groups for so long that a viewer of his attempted to murder people at the Tides Foundation in SF *a decade and a half ago* (and settled for a shoutout with cops on 580) www.democracynow.org/2010/10/12/p...
They love proudly declaring there's no reason to negotiate with them
Trump: "We're getting rid of problems that we didn't like but that were negotiated in but we didn't like. We're terminating those programs. And they're gonna be terminated on a permanent basis."
