LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

History doesn’t always spotlight the women who build movements. Dorothy Height was one of them. Civil and women’s rights icon who advanced education, opportunity, and voting rights for Black women. President of the National Council of Negro Women. Black History. Always. 🖤 #SheShed #Voices4Victory
Black-and-white photograph of civil rights leader Dorothy Height standing beside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement. Overlaid text reads: “Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition they have overcome.” Her name, Dorothy Height, appears beneath the quote.

There is an easy salient message to make as AOC did: they took your healthcare to hire brutes to intimidate you and your neighbors. They closed rural hospitals to afford hiring people to kidnap kids and to tear down the white house.

1. Force women to be pregnant and stay pregnant. 2. Torture pregnant women, so they lose those pregnancies, based on something Bobby Jr. heard from his chiropractor, because you want something to say on TV.

Hulk Hogan truly was the real America: an icon you were dutifully instructed to adore as a child and then every single piece of information about what he was, what he did, and what he thought about things made you hate him more and more, and in a way, yourself for falling for it.

Trump funding cuts to PBS set to hit free educational content for kids
Looming federal funding cuts for PBS put in jeopardy some of the most-used educational videos and games shown to help children improve in literacy and other social skills.

Millions get their news from NPR and PBS every day. For emergency alerts, disaster updates, the weather and other reliable news. Stations in rural areas, which rely twice as much on federal funding, could close. Defunding this basic service would put millions in the dark.

Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.
Team @immdef has spent all morning desperately searching for Juli, a mom of 3 US citizens who has lived in LA for 21 years. 3 nights ago Juli was on her way to work when she was forcibly taken at gunpoint by men who in a short call to family she described as “bounty hunters.” 🧵Juli called family from blocked # last night & said she was initially taken with others from LA by bounty hunters to CBP near San Ysidro where officers demanded they sign papers to be deported. CBP said she was brought there because she had agreed to a voluntary deportation.

When she & others in group asked for lawyers & to see a judge, CBP returned all who refused to sign to bounty hunters’ van. They were then taken by the unknown armed men to a warehouse in a remote, unknown location. She is still there. We can’t find her in online detainee locator

Juli described to family that men & women are being held together in the remote warehouse. There are no beds, no blankets and no showers. There is no food and the only water source is the sink. Juli has not seen any uniformed ICE or CBP officers since arriving at the warehouse.

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.” If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.
