Since it is Constitution Day, I have a question for all you Christian nationalists out there. QUESTION: "How many times does the Constitution mention Jesus?" ANSWER: "Zero times. That's right—NEVER." Thank you for your strenuous lack of attention to this fact.

Trump claims the Kennedy Crnter was losing money. That is a lie. For example in 2024 it made a surplus of $40.7M We need to save the beautiful Kennedy Center from Trump

You take a job somewhere called “Reuters Legal” and you just never expect to have to write this sentence

FBI Director Kash Patel told lawmakers he changed the bureau's hiring standards to eliminate bestiality as an automatic disqualifier because he did not want to bar trafficking victims who had been forced to have sex with animals reut.rs/4yFCKuV

A Philadelphia nun named Sister Rose Kuhn drives to a Texas immigration court weekly to sit next to unaccompanied children as young as 4 who are facing deportation hearings alone without relatives or an attorney so that they won’t have to face the judge by themselves. Heartbreaking and horrific.

If ACTBlue would get their shit together they'd prioritize critical races and then make periodic request for money to fund the whole strategy. Not 30 request a day from god knows how many sources. I can't be the only donor that is simply pissed at receiving these all day long.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

the largest donor to republicans created a child pornography generator and he is most likely responsible for more child pornography and non-consensual sexual imagery being publicly distributed than any one person in the history of the planet

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

The map contains hundreds of business entities and links to the Trump family (with more being added!), augmented with data from the president’s most recent financial filings to estimate how much money is flowing in. It will be queryable by other researchers/journos. map.citationneeded.news

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Satellites in space. That extra 12000 starting in 2019 are all LEO which means they will come back down to burn up in the atmosphere. The current plan is to burn up approximately 1500 per year steady state. Is burning up tons of sats every year bad for the environment? Ask Elon, their his satellites

Every elderly Republican senator's wiki bio is like: Famed for bipartisanship, he co-sponsored the Expand Education (1977) and Anti-Radio Monopoly (1986) acts. His later career was more controversal, with the Legalize Puppy Murder (2021) and Sex Island Tax Relief (2023) acts drawing some criticism

If Jared Kushner paid €110m to buy an island in Albania that has no fresh water from a guy who did not own it, it would help explain why his negotiations with Iran on behalf of the US have not been entirely successful

Also, "one nation under God" was coined in the post-WWII era and only added to the pledge in 1954. It's younger than Donald Trump. Somebody wrote a book about this.

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

An agreement between between the U.S. and Kazakhstan has given President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s sons access to one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten, continuing a pattern of self-enrichment in the second Trump administration. trib.al/TDMlCHG

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

Samuel Alito's dad was born in Calabria, Italy in 1914, which was a completely failed state shithole at the time. You either spent your life farming dirt or got killed at 16 working for an Ndrangheta underboss. Now his son spends all day panicking about uncivilized Haitians.

Remember everyone: Paxton Protects Pedophiles

Qasim Rashid, Esq.@qasimrashid.com

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

"President Donald Trump launched an unnecessary war against Iran and destroyed the economy, but he's mostly focused on deploying the National Guard to protect the renovation of the reflecting pool he completely botched" is a sentence that would have gotten you involuntarily committed 20 years ago.

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  That’s why I'm supporting you.”
