This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

Fox is blaming RFK Jr. for the measles outbreak. They promoted him, supported his nomination, and now they are turning on him. 🙄

Earlier this year, JD Vance told us that Donald Trump was “the most pro-family, most pro-life American president of our lifetimes.” Yeah, about that. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3Yl0Tqn

I spoke in Indiana days before the Republicans refused Trump’s gerrymandered map. Everyone I talked to said the Rs weren’t going to pass the map.

Know why?

He threatened them. Even Republicans are tired of that shit. You’re going to see more of it too. Mark it. The fever is breaking.

Here is another watercolour drawing done on location in Winchester. This shows Dean Garnier's Garden which lies on the site of what was once the monk’s dormitory of the Benedictine Monastery. I still have the original of this tucked away somewhere.

No cherry-picking. No party filter. Just receipts.

And a lot of powerful men are terrified right now.

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.

I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.

not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.
my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it

As both a teacher and a parent, I see every day how challenging it can be for families to figure out how to give their children real freedom in the world. Again and again, the #BikeBus shows me that it is one of the best tools we have for scaffolding independence.
