Psychopaths aren't psychos because of trauma. There are people who are simply evil fucks. So said the smartest person I know, who was a brilliant psychiatrist. Hitler wasn't a monster because someone told him he couldn't paint & his mom died. He was born that way. As was Miller.

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.

It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

When the Attorney General treats ethics as optional, the damage doesn’t end in a hearing room.

This is the MAGA version of a poll tax, a poll "test" no one can pass, and their version of Jim Crow. It's dead in the Senate and would die in the courts. Even in the SCOTUS. These are not serious people. They're not even serious shitclowns.

Why the fuck did she have a list of the Epstein files that Jayapal accessed?
NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.
