  • ABC Affiliate Owner Demands Jimmy Kimmel Make Charlie Kirk Donation

    Jump

  • No worries, it would be far more accurate of the headline to list it as sinclair media anyways instead of a nameless affiliate.

  • ABC Affiliate Owner Demands Jimmy Kimmel Make Charlie Kirk Donation

    Jump

  • It is Sinclair though, they are the unnamed affiliate from the headline. They own 39% of ABC local stations nationwide (officially, with more through shell corps), which is why they were able to pull this bs. Although, I’m sure ABC/Disney would have folded anyways with the FCC threatening them.

  • More New York Democrats coalesce behind Zohran Mamdani, but key holdouts remain

    Jump

  • Especially true for the two of them, who in addition to being New Yorkers are part of leadership, which would be great for unifying both sides of the party. I’m half surprised Chuck hasn’t endorsed Cuomo at this point in a ‘return to normalcy’ or some nonsense.

  • Trump official confirmed to Fed board but court rejects Lisa Cook removal bid

    Jump

  • Looked up the tally, the 27 is a typo and should be 47 nay. 4 Rs sat out and Bernie, who I believe had a planned absence for personal matters iirc tweet a few days ago.

  • Can’t imagine why no one trusts the guy who said they prayed to god it wasn’t one of ‘us’ when he now says the shooter wasn’t one of ‘us.’

  • MAGA's plan for a white Christian America is unfolding before our eyes

    Jump

  • Dude has a username of stormbringer, is trying to deflect for the Nat-C’s and has a comment history of nothing but removed by mod. Gonna go head and block that guy and move on haha.

  • 'Not medically well': Trump's health questioned after his face seen drooping at 9/11 event

    Jump

  • Damn, Moves the left hand then looks at the right not move. For a narcissist, trapped in your own body may just be the worst thing.

  • DOJ plans to label trans Americans as "mentally defective" to take away their guns

  • The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

    There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

  • Trump Is Putting His Thumb on the Scale for Cuomo

    Jump

  • Cuomo did get an endorsement from Bill Clinton though.

  • Nancy Mace 'had full-blown panic attack' after meeting Epstein survivors

    Jump

  • Alternate headline: Nancy Mace manages to direct the focus away from Epstein’s survivors to herself.

  • US panel releases over 33,000 pages of Epstein files

    Jump

  • Not one piece of information released was not already released. They don’t fucking care and won’t stop supporting him over this. If there were any evidence of wrongdoing by Trunp in those files, then the republicans would not be releasing them. Representative Luna even spilled the beans when she tweeted that with this release they will avoid having the vote on obtaining other materials. It’s all a con job.

    If you can to one single piece of information that is released in these 33,000 pages that is new, I would love to see it. If anything, the release of these files is going to get the republicans to say ‘see no Trump, but here is a flight log with Bill Clinton on it.’ Like we didn’t already fucking know.

    This entire charade is obvious, and is designed to get the ‘surely this time there will be consequences’ crowd to think they are making progress, which they are not.

  • Oh look, the actual distraction, posted like 30 times as well. We committed a war crime in international waters yesterday.

  • Can a Populist Oyster Farmer End Susan Collins’s Career?

    Jump

  • The US election cycle is so frustrating. It is 14 months away from the election and yet there are daily updates on what this guy buttered his toast with. Collins is probably gonna retire like the rest if them, and to be getting this much early coverage this guy clearly has some non-grassroots backing behind him.

  • Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent

    Jump

  • Hell yeah, any decent DA could indict a ham sandwich, but not over this ham sandwich bullshit.

  • Trump threatens tariffs on countries that ‘discriminate’ against US tech

    Jump

  • Like three days after ‘normalizing trade with the EU’, it’s right back to antagonizing and tariff threats. Who could have seen this sudden reversal coming?

  • DNC chair: Democrats can’t be ‘the only party that plays by the rules anymore’

    Jump

  • Saw Ken Klippenstein post that schumer hasn’t held an interview in over two months. Completely turtled up after the book tour fiasco.

  • Is the Trump Administration Building Up to a Military Confrontation With Venezuela?

    Jump

  • He is building a military confrontation with anyone and everyone he can, hoping something will stick.

  • Minnesota Democrats revoke endorsement of democratic socialist candidate for Minneapolis mayor

    Jump

  • I wondered about that DFL part, and yeah misses the mark even more with that piece of history added.
