Wow! Any attorneys here know if trump trying to pay off Stormy Daniels AGAIN to not talk about the $627,000 she just had to pay him for defamation is another campaign finance crime?

Rachel Maddow reporting via Chris Hayes's show that Trump is now, once again, attempting to pay #StormyDaniels to keep her mouth shut

Trump proposes BANNING or RESTRICTING video games with violence in them

Even though much of his base among Gen Z and Millennials consists of gamer bros

So there you go, folks -- a vote for Trump is a vote for banning Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and Fortnite

Trump’s absurd fishing expedition for DOJ docs was obliterated by Judge Chutkan. His demands, based on nothing but fantasy, got the brutal reality check they deserved. You can’t demand "evidence" when you’re chasing conspiracy ghosts. Chutkan delivered a merciless smackdown, reminding him the law isn’t a playground for his delusions.

I would nitpick a few things, but generally yes. Popular culture generally 'others' women. Even guys who think they're fighting for equality will say things like:

"That woman is someone's daughter, someone's sister, someone's mother, someone's wife." - and that misses the whole point, the whole point is "That woman is a person, the same as you are!" Women don't matter only because of their connection to other men.

I'm not angry for a man talking like that, he's at least trying to fight our cultural programming and just hasn't gotten far enough yet. But as long as we think that way, we will continue to mistreat you.

3/ Rupar:

after grilling Harris for more than 10 min about immigration, Baier pivots to playing a transphobic Trump campaign ad for her & asking her to respond.

Harris: Like I said, I think he spent $20 mil on those ads trying to create a sense of fear in the voters bc he actually has no plan in this election that is about focusing on the needs of the Amer people

Donald Trump’s Univision town hall is a complete disaster for him https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/donald-trumps-univision-town-hall-is-a-complete-disaster-for-him/58585/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Significant development: FEMA has instructed federal recovery workers across several counties in North Carolina to "stand down and evacuate" due to alarming reports from the National Guard regarding armed militia reportedly "hunting FEMA."

The auto workers strike back.

TFG challenged to work a 12 hour shift, if it's so easy.

Elon Musk, who seems to want an oligarchy, just dropped $75 million into the pro-Trump America PAC. And Miriam Adelson, who’s obsessed with Israel annexing the West Bank, tossed $95 million into the pro-Trump Preserve America PAC. It’s beyond frustrating!

Trump to have a town hall with Latino voters today, so his team must be scrambling to put together 39 minutes of Latino music…

'The Federal Trade Commission today announced a final “click-to-cancel” rule that will require sellers to make it as easy for consumers to cancel their enrollment as it was to sign up. Most of the final rule’s provisions will go into effect 180 days after it is published in the Federal Register.'

A reminder: the $75,000,000 Elon Musk has given to Donald Trump to buy political influence is chump-change to him. It's a tiny fraction of one percent (0.03%) of his net worth of $245,000,000,000.
Tax billionaires.

Beware of any so-called "Christian" movement that proclaims the world is full of enemies to be destroyed, rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

Beware of any so-called "Christian" movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.

Beware of any so-called "Christian" movement that requires crowds in vast numbers to glorify its leaders instead of humbling themselves before others.

Don’t be the asshole in the truck.
