This guy: American hero. The question, as Ed Wasserman writes, is whether today's media would be willing to run a story of this magnitude while under assault from the Trump administration. Like, maybe the Times would, and it's no angel here, but what about networks controlled by Trump allies? HERO.

there are vanishingly few principles that Donald Trump holds to, but by far the most important one is a universal admiration and fellowship with sex criminals

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Cowboys past and present are: Black, Indigenous, Latino, immigrant, queer, trans, radical, female (and the ones in rodeos rely on rodeo clowns to keep them safe). And that pro-democracy pro-Constitution patriots despise this dimwitted pile of hatreds. I've met cowboys and you, sir, are no cowboy.

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault

Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

It's wild how the Republicans constantly cosplay as the party of Ball Knowers and yet they don't know the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes. Republicans' knowledge of sports doesn't extend beyond keeping that one trans student off of the badminton team at North Dakota State

Tweet screenshot with text about accusations of Israel being an apartheid state and a list of Arab football players who play for Israel. The text reads: "The people who accuse Israel of being an apartheid state finding out Israel is not an apartheid state and then getting mad about it is actually golden. no bc why are these arabs even playing for israel alongside Jewish teammates. Notable players include: Bibas Natkho: A Circassian Muslim midfielder who served as the team captain. Anan Khalaili: A prominent young forward who represents Israel internationally. Mohammad Abu Fani: A midfielder who regularly starts for the national squad. Mu'nas Dabbur: A former striker who scored 15 goals in 40 appearances."

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I want to emphasize once again that today in the Kharkiv region, Russia murdered six people who were simply sorting vegetables at a storage facility. With not one, but three drones! They also injured 12 others, some of whom are in critical condition in the hospital.

I know I am not the median voter. But when I watch Trump performances like the one we just endured in North Carolina, I can't escape the feeling that our problems go much deeper than "affordability" and we're whistling past the graveyard if we reduce our politics to that issue.
