Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican.

He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

Trump is talking about invading Greenland.

What is perhaps the gravest transgression ever committed by a US president has been airbrushed out of the picture and the perp allowed (by a majority of voters) to return to the scene of the crime.

This is one of the most worrisome turns in American history.
The erasure of January 6
Five years later, MAGA World is still engaging in its Orwellian rewriting of history.

Anyone who

1) likes Gavin Newsom
2) said it was “too early to worry” about who’s running
3) believes, like Gavin suggests, that the Democrats lost the election for being “too woke”

Is: wrong

You're reminder that Doug Jones is running against this clown Tuberville for #ALGov, and there's a chance that Jones can win.

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff.

Kushner has no official position in the US government.

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

Yeah, but God will know what you’re up to and be affectionately amused. *This*, though, is lying to one’s fellow human beings about what another said/meant, which is schmuck behavior. Also, somebody’s ambassador’s likely to find he has no further access to the local head of state. Bit clumsy, that.😏
In fairness, many of us lapsed Catholics have in the past hedged what we said near a confessional...
In a stunning breach of diplomatic norms, Trump's ambassador to the Holy See issued a statement that misrepresented Pope Leo’s remarks on Venezuela in order to defend the U.S. military invasion.

Such a misrepresentation is unprecedented in the history of formal relations between the two governments

Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to memory-hole Jan. 6, thousands of videos from the riot live on ProPublica’s website and other places.

Additionally, much of the deleted DOJ database can be found on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

If it's "to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States" it definitely shouldn't be controlled by Trump
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President”

Five years ago, I sheltered in the Capitol, praying the lock on my door would hold.

Alarms blared. Rioters screamed, "Kill the infidels."

I held my breath, not just because I was in danger, but because our democracy was. Democracy held, and I do still believe we can keep it.

The CDC has lost its integrity by choosing politics over decades of evidence. One by one, access to life-saving vaccines has been restricted. Kennedy say's that he wants people to decide for themselves, but making it more difficult for others who choose to get them is hypocrisy.

Trump is insane. His inner circle is insane. They want to burn the world so they can loot everyone else’s wealth, feel like big tough guys, and hurt all the groups they despise.

But the thing breaking the whole world is how everyone feels obligated to avoid stating this fact directly.

After getting sworn in, Trump pardoned violent Jan 6 rioters.

He didn't care if they beat cops or how dangerous they were. Now so many of them are back in jail for OTHER crimes like child pornography & kidnapping.

Trump endorses violence as long as it's in service to Trump.
