Future anthropologists will conclude that Christian crosses symbolized hate and intolerance in our society because the most heinous among us wore the biggest ones.
Leavitt: "It's very striking that all weekend long you had agitators and violent American citizens out in the streets of Minneapolis 'protesting' -- protesting what exactly? Apparently they are protesting the removal of heinous murderers and rapists and criminals from a city."

Republicans blame trump? So far that has meant complete exile and public humiliation from and by the GOP. I don’t think tax credits or interest rates are the lines too far, no matter how cruel and corrupt they are
Am I naive to think expulsion from NATO could be that line?

“Public health officials” vs “some conservatives”
This “experts vs randos” framing and giving equal weight to both helps explain why the world (and WaPo) suck so much

California now requires corn masa flour to contain folic acid to reduce birth defects among Latinos. Public health officials have lauded these efforts, but some conservatives say it’s another form of government overreach.
California is adding a supplement to tortillas. RFK Jr. calls it ‘insanity’.

Why wait? Future Dems need to start outlining how this justice will be applied to this criminal regime
The ICE agent who murdered Renee Nicole Good and fled the scene has deleted all of his social media accounts. The Trump administration says he is currently at home on paid leave, enjoying time with his family. After this administration, we are going to need a Nuremberg Trials 2.0.

This comment really frames the players and issues
Americans will spend the next 20 years paying the price - a market of last resort for Trump's petrostate oligarch allies whose oil reserves would otherwise go stranded.
It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!
It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

kind of wild that speaking out loud the subtext of “a wealthy man’s money is equal to votes” is normalized to the extent that a popular democrat can say it without batting an eye
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Looking back in 3 years, we will tell ourselves how obvious it was that trumpers can’t leave office because of all the crimin’. It would be great for us all to acknowledge NOW that it is going to happen and create some paths on how we are going to deal with it all.
The good AND bad news is that Dems seem disinclined to do Merrick Garlandism all over again. But that means they’re going to have to prepare for a plot against America that’ll make the subversions of 2016, 2020, and 2024 seem quaint. www.offmessage.net/p/maga-disar...

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.
