"Send us money to help build a border wall" and then instead buying yourself 18 more rumpled polo shirts to wear simultaneously, that's donor fraud. "Send us money to help research and track extremists" and then spending that money on obtaining information about extremists groups is... not fraud.

You gotta give to the GOP. They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

The president hasn't been seen in public in days, while his social media account is issuing insane unhinged threats. Seems like we should get some confirmation that he's, you know, still alive and it's not Stephen Miller tapping out the rants

"When vice is extolled by the name of virtue, so that a man is induced to sin not only without regret but with joy and triumph, and is hardened beyond the modesty of a blush for his enormities, this sort of flattery, I say, has been fatal even to whole kingdoms." - Plutarch, The Flatterer

Going to war with our NATO allies probably isn’t going to happen, but seeing smarmy fucks like this fantasizing about how easy and cool it would be to spill the blood of our NATO allies helps strain the bonds of our international relationships in ways that can’t be mended for generations.

I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status.
Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries. Any ICE presence or activity within our lands is not authorized, not welcome, and will be addressed. Unauthorized personnel will be escorted off our lands.

“Donald Trump’s only governing philosophy is to accumulate power.” And All the MAGA influencers are a suddenly a synched-up chorus about American power. America as a superpower that can do whatever it wants, and you better believe that applies domestically as well.

Nothing about this is okay. The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people. So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

Mike Lee, who fancies himself an intellectual, advances the premise that US agents can walk into the Venezuelan president’s rooms in Caracas at any time and exercise a plenary police power, and if anyone in that sovereign state might get in their way the military can just start blowing shit up.

Just got off the phone with @SecRubio

He informed me that Nicolás Maduro has been arrested by U.S. personnel to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States, and that the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant
This action likely falls within the president's inherent authority under Article Il of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack
Thank you, @SecRubio, for keeping me apprised

Reminder: personally attacking a journalist for criticizing the government is not normal agency conduct. It's a pretty clear attempt to intimidate the journalist, and from those that complained about government censorship, like Secretary Kennedy did, the hypocrisy is jarring.
HOW TO PEDDLE DISINFORMATION

1. Start with ad hominem attacks on the CDC committee working to restore public trust in vaccines.

2. Ignore the 14 hours of public deliberation where members explained their reasoning and scientific justification.

3. Then stack the deck—quote more than 20 professional critics and just four of the 12 committee members, as if balance and accuracy don’t matter.

That’s not reporting. That’s disinformation. Not the first time either.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

One thing that feels different right now is the difference between structural power and rhetorical power. Usually in the aftermath of major political events (including, especially, shootings), we see contestation over framing — how each party coalition tries to make sense of the event. (…)

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

I think that when a leader tries to foist an immoral, often illegal, and demonstrably unpopular set of civil right infringements on a populace—and does so in a way that is both hasty and provocative—a violent backlash is INEVITABLE. Tragic, yes. Surprising? Not at all.
