Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

MARYLAND’s @govwesmoore.bsky.social : “Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I wore the uniform. I don’t believe in performative stunts, I believe in results… MD had one of the fastest drops in violent crime. If he wants to talk about reducing crime, I’ll have that conversation.”

Evangelicals have been indoctrinated since the beginning to accept, even crave, authoritarianism.

From Around the Horn:

So very sad. 😔

Please make this go viral!

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.

One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

If you do something, and the Nazis are happy about the thing you did, you did a Nazi thing

Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.
