Sorry, no, the mandate from heaven via the evangelicals/religious right isn’t going anywhere; those con artists and swindlers are all cut from the same cloth, and nothing he does will ever strip the golden veneer away in their eyes.

The sequel to Trump 1.0 is like many from Hollywood: worse than the first on every conceivable level, a bloated mess, unearned and undeserved, without heart, and a blatant cash grab. Unlike a movie, this is reality, where real people are dying, getting hurt, and/or killed.

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles is resigning at the end of June over concerns she is no longer capable of performing her duties and because there’s no media apparatus and political party propping her up.

How many days of not war ago did Trump say he would endorse a senate candidate in the Texas primary (which takes place on May 26) and force the other to drop out?

Two different technical, procedural moves from #SCOTUS yesterday have one thing in common: The Court is behaving differently in otherwise similar cases based upon the ideological/partisan valence of the dispute. Via "One First," me on why, results aside, that's a serious indictment of the Court:

226. Two More Data Points for the Inconsistent Court
Two procedural moves by the justices on Monday reinforce criticisms that the Court behaves differently in otherwise similar cases based solely on the ideological/partisan valence of the dispute.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

No biggie, but the “commander-in-chief” wanted the nuclear codes because things are going so well with his Middle Eastern boondoggle. www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

Trump 'tried to access nuclear codes but was stopped by military chief'
Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson claims that during an emergency White House meeting, U.S. President Donald Trump attempted to access the nuclear codes but was allegedly blocked by General Dan Caine

I read through the texts, emails, and iMessages between Steve Bannon and his good friend, and self described “cornerman,” convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. My dispatch from the files: www.ms.now/news/steve-b...

Steve Bannon had a plan to rehabilitate Jeffrey Epstein, files reveal. Will MAGA care?
Trump’s former adviser maintained a relationship with Epstein long after his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
