He changed the trajectory of the United States midterms by bombing the Russian bot data centers. I guess he did have ALL of the CARDS, all of the fucking time! Slave Ukraine. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

El-Sayed called the campaign against him โ€œhideous and racist.โ€ They wanted to make it about my name. But my name isnโ€™t why people canโ€™t afford gas or food. VOTERS CARE ABOUT THEIR LIVES. NOT ABOUT TRUMPโ€™S BIGOTRY.

You know what we would love to see? Senators Abdul El-Sayed and Annie Andrews absolutely GRILLING Health Secretary RFK Jr. during an official Senate Hearing. Once they're sworn in in January, the real fun begins... El-Sayed is an MD, has a doctorate in public health, and was an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia. Andrews was a pediatric hospitalist and a professor of pediatric medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina. RFK is an unqualified quack who has overseen the total collapse of public health in this country, perhaps most notably with the anti-vaxxer wave that he helped popularize and the subsequent measles outbreak he failed to contain. Andrews has already vowed to "lead the charge to impeach and remove RFK Jr." and she has good reason to want him gone. Her home state of South Carolina was hit especially hard by measles, with nearly 1,000 documented cases that resulted from parents failing to vaccinate their children. Imagine the finely-tuned, expert questions that these two would be able to hammer him with. At every turn, Kennedy's profound ignorance and negligence would be put on display. Picture him spluttering and growing redder as his humiliation mounts. It's exactly what this monster deserves. Democrats, make it happen! Please โค๏ธ and share if you'd LOVE to see this happen!

A MASTERCLASS by SC Senator-elect Dr. @AnnieAndrewsMD in 2024! Vaccines prevent highly contagious, debilitating diseases. Vaccine misinformation can KILL. โ€œVaccines are GOOD. RFK Jr. is BAD.โ€ Science saves lives. Misinformation can Kill

Chicken Soup for the Soul just sued Elon Musk's xAI. Its best witness is Grok. The complaint says Grok was asked if it learned from LibGen, a pirate library. Grok's alleged answer: "The people who trained me didn't hand-curate every single book, they basically vacuumed up whatever was out there." The complaint's opening is blunt. To catch up in the AI race, xAI needed computing power, "which xAI bought," and copyrighted books, "which xAI stole." Then it quotes Musk. On whether AI is trained on copyrighted material: "Yeah that's a huge lieโ€ฆ These AIs are all trained on copyrighted data. Obviously." On the lawsuits: "By the time these lawsuits are decided we'll have Digital God." When Jack Dorsey posted "delete all IP law," Musk replied: "I agree." It also points to a July 2026 Musk post about book scanning. He said he'd asked the team to preserve rare books and scan them "the hard way vs just cutting off the spine and scanning." The complaint's reading: xAI cuts the spines off other books and scans them. The stakes:โ€จโ€ข 500M+ Chicken Soup books sold since 1993โ€จโ€ข Grok claims about 600M monthly usersโ€จโ€ข xAI raised $20B in January, and SpaceX acquired it a month later Chicken Soup chose not to file a class action. It says class settlements resolve high-value claims for "pennies on the dollar." It wants a jury to set statutory damages for each book. Two other publishers filed the same suit the same day. Again, these are allegations from the Complaint.

How badly did MAGA lose? The polls were wrong. They predicted Trump, MAGA & the GOP would probably lose. No, they didn't just lose. The got decimated. They got wiped out so badly there is nothing left but the smell. It was worse than an extinction-level event. The dinosaurs were eliminated by one meteor. MAGA got eliminated by a million meteors. Big, small, white, black, brown, Asian, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, urbanites, country folks, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, young, old, middle age, from every state, every city, every town, every country, every district. This is more than just beautiful, poetic, righteous, justified, logical, or deserved. It also rewards sanity. All of us who hate Trump kept thinking, why doesn't everyone hate him? How is that possible? Are they insane or are we insane? Why doesn't everyone despise him? The votes are in. They do. The sane people were right all along. Donald Trump is a destroyer, devoid of anything human. He only appeals to the very, very worst of us. And the worst of us woke up the best of us... The American people. On Tuesday the people sent a message to MAGA, possibly the clearest message in history: Fuck you and the orange prick you rode in on.

Stacey Abrams is the reason why Georgia is even competitive. Without her, there is no Jon Ossoff or Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Excellent! Sen. Jon Ossoff is calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. It should never be allowed for billionaires/oligarchs like Musk, who pumped almost half a billion dollars into the midterm election, to buy our politicians and government.

My position on โ€œlate term abortions for convenienceโ€ is similar to my position on brain transplants. I donโ€™t have one because they donโ€™t exist.

Her father made her apologize to the man who was molesting her. She was 6 when the family friend started abusing her in his basement, with both families in the house. At 12 she told her parents. They brought him over to talk to her. On her living room couch, he told her, "No one should ever do that, and if they do, you should tell someone." Her parents believed him. It should have been over right there. Instead, every time they fought, her father told her, "You need to apologize to Larry." Larry was Larry Nassar, the doctor for the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team. In the video below, Kyle Stephens faces him in court. "Well, Larry, I'm here not to tell someone, but to tell everyone." It got worse. At 14, his wife pressured her to babysit their kids. She did it for 7 years, because there were two little girls in that house and she wanted to protect them. Before college she told her father again. This time he believed her. In 2016 he took his own life. She says the shame of defending Nassar was part of it. He was first arrested on her charges. At his sentencing, 156 victims spoke. "Little girls don't stay little forever. They grow into strong women that return to destroy your world." Could you ever forgive parents who believed him over you?

BREAKING: A top GOP official just said on a hot mic, "Stephen Miller as chief-of-staff is game over. In 2028 Democrats will win 500 electoral votes and a Senate supermajority. They learned no lessons from Tuesday. America didn't vote for more Stephen 'Nosferatu Goebbels' Miller."

That fact that Elon Musk would call James Talarico "pure evil" and a "creep" and said Russell Brand is "not evil" should tell you exactly the type of person musk is.
