Feels like every single Democratic official should be loudly pointing out that the president is a dementia-ravaged thug who needs to be impeached and removed from office, even if just to cover their own asses for when he inevitably tries to nuke the Oscar ceremony or whatever.

Kermit Sings Rainbow Connection - 52nd Annual Academy Awards 1980 YouTube video by KermiClown

For more than 45 years, my dad has been mad that THE MUPPET MOVIE's "Rainbow Connection" didn't win Best Original Song at the Oscars. (It lost to "It Goes Like It Goes" from NORMA RAE.) I had never seen Kermit's performance from the show -- or Johnny Carson doing a bit with Miss Piggy.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is β€œfilled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Anyone else finding the news disturbing because of what’s not reported?

War isn’t just about rising prices; people are being injured and killed.

Policies don’t just impact GDP; they impact people.

Lots of numbers. Little empathy.

The world is being reshaped by reshaping our focus.

PM's Chief Secretary Darren Jones says the govt paid Β£75k to Mandelson because it would have cost the taxpayer more to contest the payment.

Really poor reasoning. The govt should have contested payment to avoid giving cash to a man sacked for lying about the extent of his relationship with Epstein.

The Alexander Brothers now face Life in prison for their years-long sex trafficking & sexual abuse of young women & underage girls.

My take on how Jeffrey Epstein & the Alexander Brothers used the same playbook to try to intimidate victims & undermine their credibility.
