They have never pretended to tell the truth. Never. That's what's so amazing. I can't even call it BS because BS presumes that they're trying to trick you. They're not trying at all. They don't care whether we know they're violating the Hatch Act. They're like WTF are you going to do about it?

JD Vance defends Trump's taxpayer-funded propaganda videos: "If you look at the message of those advertisements, they are not partisan, it's not like we're advocating for a particular candidate"

As a doctor, I’ve spent my career with Ohioans on some of the hardest days of their lives. The last thing anyone should worry about in those moments is whether or not they can afford the care they need.

Thank you! Everyone has been focusing on Trump…the crowd and the entire demographic they represent are absolute human detritus that no decent people should be subsidizing.

Tonight, Trump suggested that Iran take out Los Angeles and San Diego to cheers of Nebraska Republicans. The media will sanewash Trump, but it is time to stop supporting farmers with blue state money. It is time those bums either work or lose their farms. No socialism for red states.

In your lifetime, did you think you’d ever hear a president of the United States suggest that a country we are at war with should take out two of our cities? With glee, I might add.

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Measles was eliminated back in the year 2000. And now, 26 years later, we’re dealing with it coming roaring back. Pennsylvania has now eclipsed 1,000 cases across 39 counties, with five deaths." Shapiro says amid the outbreak, vaccinations have now doubled.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how.

The reporting experiment demonstrates how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. No credentials or background checks required.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Indeed policy has been regressive. This actually started to change for the better under Biden for the first time in 50 years and in the midst of a pandemic. The American rebuke of MAGA cannot be overstated.

In financial markets, the term is “capitulation”. There's accountability for political parties and individual politicians but not yet for the UK public/electorate which has sacrificed its economic and cultural prosperity for chauvinism. Correction requires capitulation. A valuation is happening.
