Scott is refusing to play the game and exposing the entire "philanthropy" scam. The main thing I want you to remember is that her gifts are a threat to a multi-billion dollar complex funded by the world's richest people. People with big PR teams and virtually unlimited resources at their disposal.

If you have had enough, tell all your followers on BlueSky that it's time to #EndGunViolenceNow!

Our kids deserve to grow up safe and free from gun violence. It's time to put their lives ahead of guns. We can build a future where no parent has to bury their child due to senseless gun violence.

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.”

Her confirmation hearing will be brutal, if she even makes it to there

do I have this right? Joe Biden is expected to run a letter-perfect presidency and Kamala Harris was expected to run a flawless campaign, but Donald Trump is allowed to shit all over everything we hold dear, and the press can't even be bothered to take notice? what in the actual fuck

if Hunter Biden failing to pay his taxes on time has you outraged, wait until you hear about the guy who tried to overthrow his own government because he was mad about being a big fucking loser, and then stole classified docs and stashed them in his golf motel AND THEN GOT AWAY WITH ALL OF IT

She was at the conference with her husband & children, and "irritated" Hegseth when she asked him to stop harassing other women. She “didn’t remember anything until she was in Hegseth’s hotel room... her memory of 6 to 9 hours 'was very hazy'... her husband was searching for her." wapo.st/4eumAu1

Peak shutting the barn door after the horse bolted, but this is a crappy day and this is genuinely good news that will make it easier for us to get judicial confirmations.

Call your senators, call the White House. No breaks, every vacancy gets a nominee, every nominee gets a vote.

Next time you're applying for a job, tell your prospective employer you'd prefer they not do a background check.

Let's see how that goes.

Seconded, with feeling.

Using this photo of Ann Todd getting her makeup done to suggest that you check out the "Gothic Noir" program on the Criterion Channel. Full of goodies, including the certifiably crazy (but delightful) THE SEVENTH VEIL, from 1945. www.criterionchannel.com/gothic-noir

A bipartisan coalition of senators was on track Monday to push a $95 billion foreign aid package to the brink of passage. Pressure from hard-liners, including Donald Trump, has not swayed a group of GOP senators that has broken with the party to back it.

A bit of a digression, but Scientific American has been one of the biggest supporters of trans existence and trans rights of any major media org that exists and props to them for that.
There have been three major waves of opposition to transgender health care in the past century, including today's. Each wave has used pseudoscience to justify its hostility to trans people, including today's. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/pseu...

IOW, it will be a window into the daily, routine, insular culture of white evangelicalism. Something too many people have refused to see has been entwined in GOP politics, even when pols pretend to just be a regular guy/gal.
