A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife.

The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

Kyle Rittenhouse was an honored guest at a 2024 gathering of Oregon Republican activists. This is the monstrously depraved tweet he sent tonight. These are the people who claim to be defending Christianity and “western civilization.”

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

This scenario was an entire scandal in the George W. Bush administration that lasted for months, with hearings and the eventual resignation of the AG.
Trump's scam of inventing "mortgage fraud" charges against his foes is failing. So he's set to fire a top prosecutor who is failing to bring charges, ABC reports.

Failing to bring corrupt prosecutions is now a firing offense. This is profound misconduct.

Trump Firing Top Prosecutor for Failing to Invent Fake Crimes by Foes
A U.S. attorney in Virginia is finding no evidence that Letitia James broke the law. In America, that’s justice. In Trumpworld, it’s a firing offense.

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago.
