I have never been more ashamed of my country than I am after the Musk administration's treatment of Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I wish to apologize to him on behalf of the good people of the United States and promise we will make this right.

So, according to MAGA, being a sexual abusing, pathologically lying, violence inciting felonious traitor who attacks trans people and promises to deport tens of millions immigrants is “good”, but being a pastor who asks for compassion for those same people is “bad”. Do I have that just about right?

As the Minnesota House fast-walked toward constitutional chaos in yet another day of threats and strongly worded letters over quorums, boycotts and unprecedented oath-taking, the state Senate is preparing for a serene, drama-free beginning of the 2025 session. buff.ly/3CbWkHB

Pete Hegseth may be no less nutty than any of Trump’s more controversial nominees, Jonathan Chait writes. And given the power he is likely to hold, he is almost certainly far more dangerous than any of them:

Donald Trump’s Most Dangerous Cabinet Pick

Pete Hegseth considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.
