I keep hearing that MAGA “likes the way Trump runs things.” REALLY? I am old enough to remember the white male management style of yelling at and belittling subordinates to achieve their goals. Those were not happy times. Who still thinks that style is effective?

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East. She lied. One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on. This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

The bottom line is that what differentiated The USA from other nations with fragile democracies was the belief in the integrity of our elections. That’s gone now and the belief that fraud is prevalent exists on the right and the left. The foundation of our democracy is seriously eroded.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Standing up to racism shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Trump posts an objectively racist video, and MAGA is silent. All while he continues to nominate bigots and dine with Holocaust deniers. It’s clear who this President is. And it should disgust all of us.
