There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

I’ve seen reports estimating that the Iran War is costing us $1 billion a day. Over ten years that’s $3.6 trillion. So how about we trade free college for a stupid war?

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

One thing it's useful to remember is that right-wing donors have created a series of local-news-like content sites to poison the information well. And now we have a GOP Senate candidate attacking his opponent by citing claims made by one of these explicitly partisan sites.

When Matthew Soerens of World Relief tells Christians the Trump administration has banned persecuted Christians, many don't believe him. We talked about why. Listen to the whole conversation: austinkocher.substack.com/p/president-... @matthewsoerens.bsky.social

Quote card. Matthew Soerens, World Relief: “Occasionally, they do not believe this data, because they’ve heard so much rhetoric about Donald Trump being a great champion of persecuted Christians. It just is so dissonant with the rhetoric.” From the conversation President Trump Bans Christians Fleeing Persecution, austinkocher.substack.com

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

If you are justifiably concerned about the current crop of Republicans serving in public office, they pale in comparison to what's coming. Complete and total lunacy, detached from reality and the concerns of the people they're supposed to represent. Conspiracy theorists and bigots.

This is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment. The state of Tennessee botched an execution and tried to hide the gory consequences as witnesses twice watched a woman survival the supposedly “lethal” injection. The death penalty is a crime against humanity.

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...
