NEW EPISODE: Weeks before the midterms, election deniers on Georgia's election board quietly asked Trump's DOJ to intervene. I break down the excuses in the letter and why it fits Trump's long obsession with controlling how Georgia's votes are counted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwoR...

I complained about the typos during Trump 1 and people always said “they’re new! it’s not a big deal!” It’s an EXTREMELY big deal for me. Typos mean that *nothing* is getting reviewed by multiple people in the chain of command. It means individuals—interns? who knows—rapidly produce this shit

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

Trump has not once called on Putin to stop bombing civilian population centers, which he targets daily. Witkoff & Kushner never said that to Putin. We cut off Patriots to Ukraine for air defense. But now he demands Ukraine stop bombing refineries while Russia murders civilians.
