Decades of service to the U.S. Get a bit testy when people trash-talk the only institution that’s purpose is to provide service to We the People. Get more testy when mendacious fucks pretend they are public servants.
Well now, isn’t this something.
The Trump family has amassed a $4 billion fortune since his re-election.
During my time as Ambassador, I was accused of "focusing too intensely on the issue of corruption." There's no such thing.
We need leaders who serve the people — not themselves.

Ahmed Al Ahmed is the man who tackled the gunman in Australia. He is a Muslim. He saved lives. My Jewish soul is deeply grateful.
And this is what happens when we run towards each other. When we build relationships and coalitions and solidarity. We show up for each other. He showed up. Thank you.

Supreme Court OKs racist gerrymandering.
Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal.
A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal.
But the Supreme Court reversed it.
Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).

And also remind them that this isn’t the first time Republicans have so openly embraced fascism and so obsequiously bowed to authoritarian “leaders”.

It may be repeating the obvious, but Mary Bruce is a first-rate reporter. In the face of a presidential tirade aimed at silencing her, she calmly and professionally demonstrated why a free and independent media remains essential, asking questions that people in power don't want to answer

Distraction. Next is the sacrificial dethroning of the ICE Princess.
If you're still reading Politico, stop. Just stop.
Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”
