Every accusation is a confession 😊
After Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was attacked at a Minneapolis town hall on Tuesday night and sprayed with an unknown substance from a syringe, Trump suggested that she may have orchestrated the incident.
It's his latest string of attacks against Omar, Somalis, and Minnesotans.

Yup. Trump suggested Ilhan Omar staged her own attack in Minneapolis.

Look I know this is going to be hard here but rigid adherence to lies about Covid is going to push you to the right. It has to. The eugenicist ideas that we can abandon the vulnerable and that vaccine mandates and lockdowns weren’t necessary because only “those people” died can never be democratic.
NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.”
Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.

I keep seeing posts like "wait til the Dems get back in power, Trump et al will be so screwed!" And like, no they won't? The Dems have shown literally no interest in actually dismantling Trump's fascist mechanisms. They're going to rebrand it 'nicer' and use it themselves.
the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

After ChatGPT appeared to validate a man's suspicion that his 83-year-old mother may have been part of a conspiracy against him, he killed her. OpenAI bears responsibility for her death because the company rushed out “a defective product that validated a user’s paranoid delusions,” a lawsuit says.
