To be clear: Trump and his Republican enablers do not care one iota about ANYONE regardless of political affiliation in this country or world. All they care about is money and power. Having the most of it for as long as possible. That’s it.

This piece is spot on.

RFK Jr is really obsessed with Autism. Vaccines cause autism, then Tylenol causes autism, now WGBH radio is reporting that he thinks circumcision is tied to autism.

It’d be much better to focus more on the best support treatments and therapies for those with autism and less on the cause.

MAGA Christians will worship serial predators, career criminals, neo-Nazi influencers,
race-baiting, supremacist podcasters, xenophobic nationalist politicians, and homophobic celebrity evangelists.

They'll worship just about anybody but Jesus.

“THIS IS WAR.”
“Civil war.”
“The Left is the party of murder.”
“The Left won’t stop unless it’s forced to.”

Influential figures across the right have decided to use Charlie Kirk’s death to promote their fantasies of war and retribution against Democrats and leftists.

Yes, we are living in a constitutional crisis. Yes we are. And we’ve been living in a constitutional crisis for the past 7 months. And it’s only going to get worse. And maybe the courts might help somewhat, but the only thing that will truly save us is…us. The American people.

“Eliminating this option through an executive order would not only be unconstitutional, it would add to the barriers many disabled voters already face, from inaccessible polling places to health risks.

Elected leaders should be expanding accessible voting options, not dismantling them.”
Trump's promise to end vote-by-mail is yet another attack on disabled voters
The president credits democracy superfan Vladimir Putin with the idea. Yes, really.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs for working families. He didn’t just break that promise, he betrayed it. While families struggle to afford groceries, he handed tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.

Donald Trump sold out the American people.
