'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

very much hoping @netflix.com doesn't capitulate to right-wing anti-LGBTQ+ pressure. if they were to cave, I will cancel my subscription immediately
1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

The most powerful force in American politics today is antiestablishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate and Wall Street Democrats and embrace Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

The only way the media can be held accountable for its Republican bias is if Democratic elected officials start telling people to unsubscribe and stop watching and give their attention and money to, well, fair and balanced outlets, which today means “left leaning”.
The only way the media can be held accountable for their Republican bias is if Democrats doing live interviews on TV say "Kristen why did you refuse to call Biden's agenda Build Back Better but you have repeatedly called Trump's agenda the Big Beautiful Bill?" Hold up your phone and play the clip
When Dems considered an agenda called “Build Back Better,” mainstream news outlets agonized publicly about how they couldn’t use the term, and would instead call it, e.g., “Biden’s spending bill.” With Republicans in charge, calling their agenda One Big Beautiful Bill, that’s all out the window.

Thinking right now about that period 14 months ago when lefties were portraying Joe Biden as something akin to a fascist dictator. I took a lot of heat for saying people were being ridiculous and that those attacks on Biden would age extremely poorly if Trump won. And now here we are.

An incumbent senator -- one who's been resisting the president's main legislative priority so much that the president threatened to get revenge on him -- just announced he'd retire rather than buckle under.

Seems like a big story, but it doesn't have "Gaza magic word bingo" in it, so who knows?

Also the entire news media. There's really not that many Democrats on the anti-Mamdani beat but curiously virtually all of them are getting prime slots on cable news shows as if they speak for all Democrats. It makes you think!
I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Polls show Trump's big bill is unpopular as Republicans stare down their deadline for passage
GOP leaders hope to begin votes on the legislation this week in the Senate, where they can afford only three defections.

Striking new polling:

CNN:
56% disapprove of Trump bombing of Iran
65% want Cong auth

Reuters:
Only 36% approve of bombing

Will that hold amid truce? I think it might. Media is assuming voters will reflexively reward him for war. Let's not assume that.

Warning for Trump as Surprise Poll Offers Harsh Verdict on Iran Strike
Surprised Trump moved so quickly to try to force a ceasefire? Read this striking new survey data and you won’t be. Americans don’t trust him to wage a long war.

America's secret police just detained a guy who might be Mayor of New York City and his NYPD escort. We have to abolish ICE. That should be the baseline Democratic Party position.
Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.

I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.

Inaction is complicity.

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I'm taking Metro home now and saw bigger crowds during COVID, in case anyone is wondering what the turnout for the parade was.
