Mediaite obtained the police report of the Pete Hegseth alleged sexual assault incident. The details are horrific and should be disqualifying.

@ericowens.bsky.social Hey! What do you think about Sarah McBride’s acquiescence to new House policy on bathroom availability for transgender people? She does have a point. Others here say she’s selling out and should fight. Probably best to avoid using up political capital?

I’ve been on Twitter for so long that the Bluesky feed seems…alien.
Where is all the conservative propaganda? Why am I not seeing all of Elon Musk’s dumb quote tweets? Where is Bella Hadid??

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Traffic on Bluesky, an X competitor, is up 500% since the election. How will they handle the surge?
Unlike other social media sites, Bluesky allows users to create their own algorithm. The site does not have ads, nor harvest data for artificial intelligence training. But it is still very small and has an unproven business record.

And a reminder that tiny movements of voters over niche issues can be fatal to candidates
Out of roughly 153 million votes cast in this election, the presidency was decided by 230k across the three states of Wisconsin (30k), Michigan (80k) and Pennsylvania (120k). That's 00.15%.
This remains an extremely closely divided nation. Any agenda viewed as extreme is likely to face backlash.
