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?

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

The Dumb Reason Trump Keeps Calling His Iran War a β€˜Little Excursion’ Describing his war as an β€˜excursion’ is the latest way Trump is screwing things up, not worrying about the details, and refusing to correct course.

Have you wondered why Donald Trump keeps calling his disastrous war on Iran an "excursion"?

…According to close sources, it's because Trump is confusing the term β€œmilitary incursion” with a "military excursion."

Obvious attack on the First Amendment, and also--importantly--an attack on the second amendment

One asshole did a stupid thing, and the completely legal firearms owned by other protesters became evidence of domestic terrorism

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

i am not a middle east or international relations expert but if you'd asked me if explicitly making the stakes for the iranian regime existential might make them respond as though the stakes for them are existential i'd probably have said yeah

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

This is part of a pattern I've started to notice: There are people out there who are loudly committed to off-loading their work to chatbots and come seeking my validation for their position.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.
