Cheney directed the committee to leave out references to Christian nationalism thinking that would invite large scale condemnation of the report, so the culprits were limited to “white nationalists”, “militias”, etc. References to the religious motivations were withheld though they existed in droves

This seems like it could be the warmup question on the bar exam. No wonder she didn’t pass.

I think the thing that most surprised me was how the Jan 6 committee intentionally left out lots of meticulously researched info on the Christian Nationalist motivations of many of the perpetrators and organizers at the direction of Liz Chaney.

Just finished “No Prophets” by @rephuffman.bsky.social. It does a great job of defining and unpacking the various threads of attack on our Democracy and how serious the concern is, with up to date info. I highly recommend it to all.

Worth a read today. This story illustrates just how pro-corporate and anti-everyday American this administration truly is. Trump’s claims about being “for the people” are, like everything else, a complete lie. newrepublic.com/article/2164...

Trump Is Encouraging Airlines to Scam Passengers in Every Way Possible

Biden cracked down on carriers’ junk fees and hidden fees, flight delays and cancellations, and deceptive pricing. Trump is undoing all of that progress.

I was at both the games that Bo Jackson ran up the wall in Baltimore and the game where Jim Edmonds dove toward the centerfield wall in KC so those will always be hard for me to top but that was an outstanding play.

the Jan 6 song is about how the ideologues of yesteryear have disappeared and who are they now? Well, they’re my Dad, unfortunately, though in my case he was never an ideologue, just steamrolling toward that terrible day. Anyway, thanks, Amy, for a great album, and for being the voice of my

I stumbled upon Amy Grant’s new album today and it brought me back to 1991 when I bought “Heart in Motion” from a Christian bookstore in the mall. When my parents made me return it thinking it was an act of rebellion they were right, as I wasn’t brave enough to buy Guns and Roses or anything from a

It’s really interesting how much better traffic flows in KC on cloudy (but not rainy) days. Especially in construction zones.

Nothing to see here except the Vice President of the United States offering up banter and insult that a fourteen-year-old boy might have dropped in a middle school hallway in 1982. Most kids today wouldn't be caught dead talking this shit.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The Detroit Free Press allowed readers to submit their verdict on who won the debate between Dr. Abdul El Sayed and Mike Rogers— but the only two people who said Rogers won decided to include anti Arab slurs in their letters in addition to abject lies. So the DFP refused to publish them.
