This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Trump really has made it ok for these racist assholes to take their hoods off
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

I fear this is very bad news for Iran even if potentially very important for transparency and for holding these scumbag pedophiles accountable.

Huge. Laws like this were designed to punish investors for taking basic steps to address climate risk.

(Also worth noting: the firms targeted were never actually “boycotting” fossil fuels—that was political misinformation all along.)

A federal district judge on Wednesday declared Senate Bill 13 — a 2021 law restricting state investments in companies boycotting the fossil fuel industry — unconstitutional, calling it “facially overbroad” and citing First and Fourteenth Amendment concerns.

Silence is complicity. How can anyone who ever supported him look any child in the eyes? Racism is unacceptable and needs to be challenged regardless of how overt it is. His supporters you own this along with anyone who remains silent
Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

Also glad to hear the Governor call for universal affordable healthcare. We still need to help LOI’s with more than just primary care and need to see if the CT option really moves the needle on this front
Very good to hear the Governor emphasize efficiency, to call out Eversource and UI’s lobbying while calling for PURA to not be bullied
It was good the governor lifted up CT’s response to HR1 and called for the extension of the fund. We disagree that CT can’t fill the holes, especially if we reclaim the Trump tax cuts for the wealthiest amongst us. We can do better.

I do not know how to live in a world where (mostly) men who sit at the very highest levels of power and prestige select, rape and dispose of countless girls not merely without consequences but with social and financial rewards.

Seriously every man identified in the document has been white from what I’ve seen. The Epstien files are revealing white male privilege in the most glaring and revolting way possible.

The fact that we have devolved to the point where arguably the most powerful aid to the president can publish this racist diatribe and every member of congress isn’t demanding he be fired is appalling

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
