Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

The Lincoln Project: The GOP tells you that the guy who falls asleep daily on live tv and hid in a catering cart after an Iranian assassination threat is making USA look more powerful on the world stage. All while raising prices on everything and weakening our economy. Wake up, this isn't winning.

So this is very disturbing. A Russian outlet known for publishing info for Russia’s security services (FSB) wrote an article speculating Patel’s upcoming visit to Moscow. Everything from providing kompromat on Dems to him serving as a back channel. They even discussed what they could get in return.

We just hit a harrowing milestone. There are now 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics that have closed or are on the verge of closing since Republicans gutted Medicaid and the ACA to fund tax cuts the wealthy. Billionaires over patients. With deadly consequences.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
