When you consider how truly awful *all* of Trump's press secretaries have been, it's a monumental achievement to be his very worst. Well done, Katie Zacharia!

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.

Can someone ask CBS News why Ted Koppel said that "Bannon's technically correct; they didn't have standing" in the 60+ cases Trump and his allies lost in 2020. This is verifiably false and is a GOP talking point. Many/most of the cases Trump lost were on the merits. Do they not fact check at CBS?

You can investigate the truth claims of every religion. Christianity isn’t special. Apply the same standards of evidence to Christianity that Christians apply to every other religion, and it fares no better. Also, we investigated. Turns out it’s not true. Sorry!

This is why “Pro-Life” activists are forced to rely on vague bits of scripture to justify why the Bible condemns abortion. A popular one is “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Yeah, He knew all those people in the womb that He drowned too.

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.
