uber has delilah on the radio and she is going OFF on people. she finally snapped. like, she’s so close to calling someone a dumb bitch, i’m serious

NEW: I wrote about the beautiful irony of a powerful and openly sexual woman likely being the one to get Trump indicted, and how Stormy Daniels’ justice could be a small bit of restitution for all his alleged female victims.

Read/share: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-… The investigation into the hush money paid to Stormy Daniels by Trump via Michael Cohen started in 2018. Cohen has since served time, Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti is in prison, and Trump may finally be indicted.

Stormy is the last woman standing.

holy victimhood the remarkable thing about bethany and her husband and their fellow soldiers in the culture war is that they shriek all day about how wrong it is for marginalized people to see themselves as casualties of a broken system, but the moment they’re under scrutiny, they cry victim.

pretty weird how few updates there’ve been about mitch mcconnell’s health! he’s the senate minority leader! where are the details? mitch r u ok

yesterday i went to pick up a prescription at walgreens and they said it’d be $130 *with* insurance, so i pulled up a coupon from GoodRx and paid…$6.50.

why is that extra step necessary? if i’m insured, why do you i need a random-ass website to get involved? wtf is this system the moral of the story, per the replies here, is that we are all being scammed by insurance and drug companies every single day and our only recourse is a silly little coupon, if you’re lucky enough to find one. burn it all down.

NEW: I just spoke by phone with Eula Rochard, a Brazilian drag queen who was friends with George Santos when he lived near Rio. She said everyone knew him as Anthony (*never* George), or by his drag name, Kitara, and confirms this photo is from a 2008 drag show at Icaraí Beach. I conducted my interview with Eula along with a translator—a friend of mine from Brazil—so the responses I’m sharing are English translations from Portuguese.

Eula says she met Santos when he was 16 or 17 years old and became friends because they were both gay and enjoyed drag.

holy shit: texts obtained by @JSweetLI show george santos (née anthony devolder) set up a gofundme so the dog of disabled veteran could get a life-threatening tumor removed. santos took the $3,000 raised and disappeared. the dog died.

NEW: I confirmed at least one job that George Santos actually had. From October 2011-July 2012 he worked at a DISH network call center in Queens, NY, according to a company spokesman. @Santos4Congress was a bilingual customer service rep, assisting Portuguese-speaking customers. @Santos4Congress A former colleague of Santos' at DISH network told me via phone that he remembers Santos "used to brag a lot" and "loved to be center of attention."

HOLY SHIT I KNEW IT—George Santos also lied about being Jewish!!!

one of elon’s minions is in this space and freaking out

Last week, a right wing group waged war against a Chicago private school by releasing an edited and secretly recorded video of a dean talking about an LGBTQ+ sexual education class held during pride week. Conservative media went nuts over it.

leilabrillz.substack.com/p/when-libs-of… Four days after Francis Parker School was caught in the right wing media outrage machine's crosshairs, they received a bomb threat. The whole school was evacuated.

NEW: The GOP’s sustained campaign of violence against trans people is horrifying, but not without precedent. I wrote about what we can learn from the treatment of Jews *and* LGBTQ+ people in the Holocaust—and the danger of silence.

My latest for @MSNBC: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-… Did you know one of the Nazi’s earliest targets of violence was the Institute for Sexual Research where the world’s first modern gender-affirmation surgeries were performed?

There’s a painful connective tissue between the trans and Jewish struggle.

Kanye is a hateful antisemite. He could also be president.

My latest for @MSNBC: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-… As a third-generation Holocaust survivor, I never imagined as I was growing up that I would ever need to contend with antisemitism in such an urgent way. 

But thanks to Kanye and the Republican party, I’ve been forced to bear witness.

msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

ALEX JONES: You're not Hitler. You're not a nazi. You don't deserve to be described as that.

KANYE: I see good things about Hitler, also.

(just now on Infowars) Nick Fuentes is talking about the Talmud. This fucking guy.

NEW from me: Women under 25 are going to have a seismic effect on the midterms, and have registered at historic levels since Roe was overturned. Are we ready to recognize their power to bring Democrats to victory?

msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-… Before the SCOTUS abortion decision, men under 25 outnumbered women by 2 points.

In the two weeks after, the gender gap reversed substantially to 7 points — a 9-point swing, according to @tbonier of @TargetSmart.

so now kyrie will believe that anyone who questions israel is antisemitic

sorry but i don't think forcing kyrie to give money to the ADL is going to improve his opinion of jews.

people saying that you need to accept that everyone's going to get covid at some point have never dealt with chronic illness and it shows i do not want covid. i do not want mild covid. i do not want medium covid. i dot not want serious covid. i do not want long covid. full stop. because i know what it's like to be sick and i will avoid it at all costs. don't tell me i need to just accept it.

one thing i’ve learned from being a frequent medical patient is that guidelines on how long it takes to feel “better” are mostly meant to calculate how long you have to take off from work, and rarely have anything to do with when you will feel truly healed and able. there is enormous pressure—both external and internal—to not take more time to recover from illness because of a fairly arbitrary timeframe created by doctors to say when you’ll be “productive” again.

healing is not linear, it can’t be predicted and often you just need time.

at least two people died last night in one of jeff bezos’s amazon facilities and outlets are excitedly sharing news about his rocket launch. wild.
