A New Hampshire Republican. A German Holocaust denier. A suspicious bottle of baby oil. An NPR investigation reveals how the alarming rise of antisemitic conspiracy theories reached a state capitol.
In the category of I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The U.S. (and the world) cannot afford billionaires, especially those who disrespect the citizenry. They are freeloaders, and must be taxed until they can no longer afford lunch.

📌BREAKING via NYT: “Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals, a highly unusual move."
Two of the officers are Black and two are women, the other 32 are white men.
Tell me again this regime isn’t fueled by bigotry and misogyny, and I’ll call you a liar.
Remember: The richest 1% evade roughly $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
This is Trump’s payback to his corrupt fossil fuel donors. Every clean inexpensive energy source he takes off the grid moves the grid back to marginal polluting fossil plants that would otherwise be off line.
Billions goes from ratepayers to big donors. It’s a scheme.

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners.
Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.
The database has the name, sex, birthday and Social Security number of every child in the U.S. who is the subject of a child support case.
It also has the addresses of parents and kids who are domestic violence victims and receive support.

When the gov’t wants to censor coverage of a war that’s going poorly:
Brendan Carr, the FCC chairman, threatened to “revoke broadcasters’ licenses over their coverage of the war with Iran, his latest move in a campaign to stomp out what he sees as liberal bias.”

“I have a bomb, I have a bomb. Don’t let anyone in or out of the clinic, or I’ll set it off.”
After Trump’s mass pardons of anti-abortion activists, threats and harassment at clinics have surged.
Stephen Miller: "The human rights that we are gonna protect are not of the savages that torture and rape and murder. The human rights we are going to protect are of the peaceable citizens who have an absolute human right to live in physical safety and security every day of their lives."
Targeting law firms for employing lawyers or representing clients and positions the President does not like is fundamentally unethical. The government started to back away from this, but arbitrarily changed its mind again, indicating that public ethics and the rule of law are still under attack.
By enlisting the U.S. in what he views as Israel's existential battle against Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is taking a gamble that could open up the relationship to the strain of a war with far-reaching consequences. https://to.pbs.org/47kgZ8A

What's even more disturbing about this kind of thing becoming a common occurrence is that there are people who will watch this and not only side with the ICE thugs, but say the old man deserved it.
MAGA has got to be one of the worst cases of mass psychosis in modern history.
I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already.
Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.
