While the reason for Spirit’s demise is crystal clear, the Trump administration is offering up an alternative explanation, one that erases their role in the looming economic crisis created by the president’s reckless foreign militancy. Read: bit.ly/3OHyzO3

Is Trump creating an American "theocratic republic"? By framing the current war as a divine crusade and casting himself as a "Christ-like healer," he’s embracing the same theocratic absolutism he claims to fight in Iran. Commentary by @mattbaidc.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump's new Navy Secretary is very concerned about an implacable foe: "Witchcraft," which has "really taken over" in places like California. www.businessinsider.com/hung-cao-gop...
businessinsider.com
GOP Senate candidate Hung Cao warns of 'witchcraft' happening in California: 'We can't let that happen in Virginia'
Cao, who was the GOP nominee against Democratic Rep. Jennifer Wexton in 2022, also said he was "African-American because I grew up in Africa too."

If you're wondering if Americans are paying attention, they are. If you're wondering if they like what they see in Donald Trump, they Do Not. New polls reveal how vigorously Americans hate Trump’s job performance. by @ryanbort.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

OK, here's what we're not going to do. It's not the fucking rhetoric. The POTUS REGULARLY says Dems are traitors. He has his secret police round up immigrants. He has the Justice Dept. prosecute people he dislikes over nothing. But DEMS are the problem? No, Dana, that's not what's happening.

Uh, Dana, allow me to introduce you to former President Theodore Roosevelt (who served from 1901 to 1909), who wrote this in a newspaper editorial published in the Kansas City Star on May 7, 1918, during World War I, sharply criticizing then-President Woodrow Wilson’s conduct of that war.
A graphic showing a close-up black and white photograph of President Theodore Roosevelt's head, to the left of which is this quote of his:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Perhaps Raskin should have turned it around and said... "I have a question for you, Dana. Why is it that the media stays primarily mute with an authoritarian and corrupt president, who sounds mentally unsound most days, lies constantly, is in the Epstein files, and has started an illegal war?"
