A woman googled the number calling her. It matched her bank. She still lost her life savings. New video on how this scam actually works—and why your home address being for sale online is the reason it's so convincing. 20% off DeleteMe with code EORLINS. #ad
Todd Blanche played a key role in burying the Epstein files. He is unfit to be our next Attorney General.
IT IS OFFICIAL. Graham Platner is out. Jenny Racicot came forward with receipts—therapist emails, 2023 disclosures, warnings to other women—knowing exactly what would be done to her, and she did it in the only window where Maine Dems could still replace him.
BREAKING NEWS: A woman who dated Graham Platner alleges he sexually assaulted her. There is still time for Mainers to choose a leader who can stand against violence in public policy and in personal conduct.
HOLY SHIT. FIFA President Gianni Infantino is at the USA game, sitting with Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce AND CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Disgusting.
As always, FUCK CLARENCE THOMAS. Fuck Transphobia. This is truly disgusting, but expected coming from such a monster. From his concurrence:
Well, it's official, the unelected billionaire man-baby who uses his money to cosplay as a genius while making the internet worse, workers’ lives worse, and the government worse just became the world’s first trillionaire.
$6.3 million. That's how much the AI industry has now spent to keep one Manhattan assemblymember out of Congress. If you're in NY-12, they picked your district to make a point. Whether it lands is up to who shows up. Primary June 23. Early voting starts Saturday.
Does this fucking moron president have any idea what Memorial Day even means? If anyone is disrespecting our military, it is the asshole who is cutting their benefits and wishing people a “Happy Memorial Day.”
Had a great time at the Webbys tonight celebrating @bookersquared.bsky.social’s win!
BREAKING NEWS: Rudy Giuliani in the hospital. Wishing him nothing but the worst.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court just issued its decision in Louisiana v. Callais. 6-3 along ideological lines, gutting the Voting Rights Act. It’s 92 pages. I’m reading now and will be back with everything you need to know.
This Comey indictment is so stupid. Truly. He is being accused of "knowingly and willfully mak[ing] a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States," by posting a photo of seashells saying 8647 on Instagram. Give me a fucking break.
In January 2022, Trump ally Jack Posobiec tweeted "86 46" while Joe Biden was the 46th president. PolitiFact and NBC News have both confirmed the post. No investigation, no charges. The same rhetoric used against the prior administration drew zero federal response.
James Comey apparently just got indicted by a federal grand jury in North Carolina for posting a photo of seashells arranged as "86 47"—a post he deleted within hours, captioned "cool shell formation on my beach walk."
H/T to @liftourvoices.bsky.social for the tweet that sent me down this rabbit hole.
This WHCD weekend, WME is putting money toward the Freedom of the Press Foundation instead of a party. Freedom of the press is under attack. This helps journalists protect themselves and their sources. Proud to be part of a team that made that call.
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out amid allegations she used staff to plan personal trips, had an affair with a subordinate, and drank on the job. Also on her watch: the US canceled grants that helped reduce child labor worldwide by 78 million people. Some labor champion. BYEEE
Lawsuits like this often have a purpose beyond winning in court. They make journalists and outlets think twice before publishing. That's the chilling effect—and it's very real. The Atlantic isn't backing down. Good.
FBI Director Kash Patel just filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick over a story published Friday alleging he drinks to excess, has unexplained absences from FBI headquarters, and that his behavior has become a national security concern. 🧵
As California's Attorney General, Becerra's office went to the state Supreme Court in In re Lewis and argued that a Black man's IQ score should be "adjusted upward"—on the basis of his race—so he'd no longer count as intellectually disabled under Atkins v. Virginia, and could be executed.
Space doesn’t usually wreck me, but this did. The Artemis II crew asked NASA if they could name some of the craters they saw from lunar orbit. One of them, a bright spot on the Moon’s surface, they want to call “Carroll.” 🧵
POTUS is an unhinged lunatic. Seriously. The president of the United States woke up on Easter morning and posted THIS on Truth Social. Happy Easter, I guess!
I heard Trump might attend oral arguments for the birthright citizenship case today, and I legit thought it was an April Fool's joke. It's being widely reported, and he's actually there.
