They don't care whether things are true or accurate, and they don't care if innocent people are hurt. The dishonesty and viciousness of the right is dangerous and scary. No wonder they're so down on any efforts to stop disinformation.

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

1/ Over the weekend, there was a reported case of plague in Russia. I’m seeing a lot of rumors about the event being spread without facts to back it up, so I wanted to jump on here to break down what we do and don’t know about this situation and whether or not you should be concerned.

Donald Trump has always been coarse. It's just one of many reasons he was rejected by Manhattan's Upper East Side society, dismissed as a vulgar, unpolished loudmouth from Queens. He was pitiably stung by their rebuff. And resents his MAGA followers for not being able to confer societal pedigree.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Amendment 7 would lock Missouri tax dollars in a Wall Street fund for decades, maybe generations, before it pays a dime back. Our schools and hospitals can't wait. Vote NO on Amendment 7 by Nov. 3.

There really is this rash of very weird GOP defenses. Like when Paxton said the guy didn’t do one day in prison. That’s a lie! I put him in for a hard 60 days! Or Marshall saying he didnt get the pregnant woman arrested for late bill. It was for not showing up for the lawsuit over the late bill!

Eric Schmitt is the dirtbag and he should be ashamed of his questions to Jack Smith. Apparently, his staff is pretty stupid as well.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass with an estimated 800,000 people in Paris on Saturday. At a migrant house before Mass, he said the history of humanity “is not written by those who give the impression of winning by imposing themselves and ‘dominating the room,’ but by those who ‘make room.’”

Drawing 800,000 in Paris, Pope Leo XIV Calls on the Church to “Make Room” for Migrants and the Poor
“No one is so poor as to have nothing to give.” Before Mass, the pope sat with migrants and told catechists to respect each person’s pace. Six altar servers with Down syndrome served his Mass.
