Mr. Secretary, you seem confused. Mark Kelly was defending the Constitution. That’s leadership and you should try it.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

And please don’t blather that “it can’t be done.” Brazil did it. South Korea did it. Burn the paper tigers, legally and permanently.
Trump’s job as a Russian asset was to fuck up as much as he could daily!
Your job was to recognize this is who he is and not elect him!
Now your job is to undo the damage you did by voting Republican by impeaching and jailing him. It could have been easier but you knew everything!

Oklahoma may once again be used to test whether taxpayers can be forced to fund religious charter schools.

FFRF will stand with allies and oppose any attempt to turn public education into taxpayer-funded religious indoctrination.
The last time Oklahoma approved a taxpayer-funded religious charter school, it ended with a 7-1 smackdown by the state Supreme Court.

Now they’re trying again—hoping the U.S. Supreme Court will bail them out.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

BLITZER: “I just want to be precise - should members of the military obey clearly illegal orders?”

Republicans like @RepLisaMcClain now openly say the military should ignore their oath to the constitution, and follow Trump no matter what.
