Secretary of State Marco Rubio just sat down for a one-on-one interview with a man who, as @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social has reported, has claimed that "Jewish influence on the West" has led to "white genocide" and once said "Hitler actually had some decent points."

A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
