"Trump’s unhinged, hateful remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast don’t disgust his evangelical supporters because they share his seething cultural resentment and endless persecution complex. For them, his open contempt for their mutual enemies resonates more than a true sermon."
Trump is clowning his evangelical base
He's not even bothering to pretend anymore.

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

UPDATE: We just filed a preliminary injunction in our lawsuit against DOJ for records about its collection of confidential voter data.
After the Trump admin's coercive request that Minnesota hand over its voter list, the public needs answers even more urgently.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

The NIH is still blocking most ongoing scientific funding over concerns about DEI, according to NIH sources and internal NIH correspondence.
The freeze has continued even after top NIH officials acknowledged that continuing to block the funding would violate a federal court order.

If you're wondering why congressional Democrats spent 3 months after the election rolling over and playing dead, it's because they were listening to these guys.
Very serious Democratic strategists advise the party to allow Trump to illegally dismantle USAID -- a decision that will result in the unnecessary deaths of people around the world.
