Texas Gov. Greg Abbott spent $100,000 on billboards warning migrants they'll be r*ped if they cross the border illegally:
“How much did you pay to have your daughter r*ped?” one billboard reads.
"Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies,” another reads.

Trump was tied to the mafia. His daddy was tied to the mafia. I worked on RICO cases — I knew the crime families, there was never a Biden crime Family. When Trump could no longer get what he needed, he got involved with the Russian oligarchs, and here we now are. Sammy “The Bull” Gravano on Trump /1

The trickle-down myth is deeply embedded in the American psyche and it’s beyond time to excise it.

UnitedHealth Group, ranked 5th on the Fortune 500, is a health insurance company. Let that sink in: a company profiting off managing who gets care and who doesn’t is out-earning most industries. Is healthcare or profit the priority here?

Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman: "But in fact, President Biden’s pardon was justified and falls within the heartland of executive clemency cases. A clear-eyed analysis of the facts, the law, and, crucially, DOJ standard practice in Hunter Biden’s case establishes this."
Night of the Hunter
You could almost hear the howls of protest begin on Capitol Hill the moment President Biden announced he was granting a pardon to his son, Hunter.

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Well this is embarassing, for Joe and Mika. They will not live thus down
Hannity: You have Joe and Mika going to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring and suck up to Donald Trump,
Cruz: I’m not even sure they were kissing the ring. I thank they were kissing a little bit lower than that.

American state media (cable news) report on MAGA crimes and republican corruption as if it was completely normal and not a big deal, yet they report on a sneeze by a Democrat as of it were an earth shattering scandal. I will never watch any MSM program again.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Out of 2,410 women killed by men, 87.5% knew their killers, and 66% were shot. Misogynistic rhetoric, extremist cabinet picks, and Project 2025's patriarchal agenda threaten to escalate violence against women. We must stand united and resist this dangerous regression.
