The political assassin in MN appears to be a Christian nationalist & an adherent of the New Apostolic Reformation (w/ which Mike Johnson is also aligned). Christian nationalism is a heresy & one of the gravest threats to our nation. Here's a survey on it from @prri.org.

An Army vet heading to the VA took a wrong turn—and was detained by Marines in LA. While they acted professionally, their detaining him was likely illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. It’s another line being crossed—and it puts our Marines in a bad spot. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

We really do need to come up with a term for “government by liars”
“Kakistocracy” isn’t right because it conveys ineptitude, venality, and corruption and maybe dishonesty. But I want something dishonesty specific. Since that is the go-to from the president to virtually every cabinet member.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

The city repeatedly asked the Justice Department to identify alleged antisemitic incidents. The Justice Department never responded. Now the meeting is canceled.
Seems like more people need to be calling the Trump administration's bluffs.

People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress.
The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.

The damage will be far worse than just a 4-yr gap. Both I and the individual who has managed this site for most of the past 50 yrs are retiring within the next 2 years. With this closure, we will not be able to plan a transition.
