Despite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

a weird set of people who only exist online are people who celebrate the defeat of global fascism in every other country and are then horrified and appalled at the idea that they should also be expected to vote for their domestic opponent of global fascism if some of their stances are Problematic
A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

Americans were upset about inflation, so they threw out the leaders who oversaw slowing inflation, opted for a candidate promising to raise prices faster, and got what they voted for.

Nothing infuriates me more when people try and "both sides" the two parties like McConaughey does. Someone should ask him which elected Democrats are extreme and why? Back that shit up buddy. If you're going to take the time get high on your own supply give us examples.
“Yesterday, McConaughey released a six-minute video urging Americans to support independent candidates during the midterms. Yes, these midterms.” michaelianblack.substack.com/p/failure-to...
As far as I can tell, literally every article on this quotes the same "expert" — a former estranged father who has an entire blog dedicated to absolving parents of any responsibility.
He also sells $995 "consultations" where he will blame your kids for cutting you off.
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.
The latest ragebait: why hasn’t Hakeem Jeffries made a public statement defending Ilhan Omar?

Whether it's Bill Clinton using tax-payer money to pay for the postage on letters back to people who wrote to his cat or Donald Trump steering hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts to his son's companies, both presidents engaged in corruption on an unprecedented scale.
NEW: As Colorado’s Tina Peters reportedly meets with President Trump to discuss an election “plan,” her attorney says the plan involves seizing ballots nationwide and discusses strategy for a potential civil war
Schrodinger's impeachment, was either too fast or too slow. So link me to Republicans who said they'd vote to convict Trump if the impeachment was slower?

1) As an authority, they appeal to a demo receptive to them (disgruntled libs/leftists); and
2) attack the portion of our polity that can be exaggerated, and has a sense of shame (Dems).

Obama: "...people who cling to their guns and their religion..."
Media: Ooooh, that's offensive
