Trump rapes children. Trump rapes women.

Sexual predator wants sexual predator charges to go away.

Trump thinks the entire US government is his own personal court.

It was a state case, finding, and fine.

SCOTUS has no jurisdiction over NY State civil court.

I think, as an American who studied the speech to assess whether it constituted unlawful incitement, the BBC edit was poor journalistic form, but it did not convey something substantively different than reality. My thing? The apology doesn’t convey to me that the BBC gets Trump isn’t a fair broker.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

“Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. And someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.”
- Pope Leo XIV
What does ‘pro-life’ mean? There’s no one answer – even for advocacy groups that oppose abortion
The term ‘pro-life’ can seem simple – but how Americans and advocacy groups interpret it varies widely.

Well let’s hope that people are fired up enough to mean it this time. With groups like Indivisible and Move On calling for primary challengers it gives greater weight.
The issue is that, historically, angry D voters don't show up to primaries and vote out incumbents the way R voters do.

The threat to "primary them" is not read as a serious threat.

We'd be a much healthier party, and a much healthier country, if it were taken more seriously.

I gave Volodymyr Zelenskyy a copy of my book "Invasion" at the presidential palace in Kyiv. Seconds after we sat down for an interview the electricity failed, plunging us into darkness! Zelenskyy seemed relaxed, good-humoured and resilient, after almost four years of full-scale war. A remarkable guy

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.

That December vote is a huge moment we can turn into a victory. People are watching. Good bill, we win; they cheat, they will lose. If we fight united.

It took FOUR AND A HALF DAYS for the 8 Senators below to destroy the remarkable victory that Democrats won last week.

FOUR AND A HALF DAYS to DESTROY our momentum.

They didn't vote to re-open anything.
They crippled American families and their health care.

It's unbelievable.

Our politicians are speaking for us in Chicago: Homeland Security needs to get the hell out and leave us alone.
Federal agents pepper-sprayed a baby girl in Little Village this weekend. There's no limit to what these thugs will do.

To make Chicago safe again, we need ICE and CBP to get the hell out of our city.

Big fucking deal! A vote still has them in the majority and they will vote no. The subsidies needed to be in the bill that Dems approved NOT a promise of a fucking vote. This is absolutely appalling.

He can’t pardon these people. These are state crimes. Certainly he’s sending a message for anyone charged with a federal crime to help Trump but it does nothing for these defendants.
