Despite the Christian Nationalist propaganda you were taught in schools, the Pilgrims didn't flee to America because they hated religious persecution--they just wanted to be ones who got to do it. It's an attitude still embraced by this country's conservative Christians. Glory!

I genuinely believe he has lost the ability to distinguish between his own bank account, flush with plundered cash and bribe money and insider trading bets, and the bank accounts of everyone else.

Feels like we need some sort of public facing/scarlet letter type situation to mark who has already seen “You Can See Everything” lest we spoil anything inadvertently

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

This judge is not fucking around 🔥 Trump bulldozed ahead with cutting down hundreds of trees at the historic East Potomac Golf Links, despite a federal judge’s warning. She ordered work stopped & warned: “If that order is violated by as so much as two seconds, there will be contempt proceedings.”

🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Theory: this SI thing is not basic Trump stupidity. This is a rebrand that the tech bros washed through Trump because AI sucks and they need to change the narrative so they got him to say it out loud and now they can all jump in and be like “yeah actually he’s right”

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

BREAKING: ICE over the past year investigated hundreds of nonprofits across the U.S. that help people register to vote. The internal documents, obtained by the Democracy Forward, showed that ICE's investigative arm also contemplated sending undercover agents to investigate the organizations.

Harris Faulkner: "We have a society now that’s losing its grip and respect and need for the truth. Which is why the disinformation and misinformation and the conspiracy theories are so popular and they break through on social media. People have a complicated relationship with the truth." uh huh...

Really loving the new promos for NBC's Line of Fire. A total 180 from the first batch, now selling it as a juicy rom-com about an agent falling for his protectee. The show's IMDb page still lists it as a political thriller. Network execs are the best.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

1. The White House is currently airing this video as an ad during commercial breaks on Fox News. It looks and sounds like a political spot and includes a disclaimer stating that it is paid for by the U.S. government.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"
