Is this Biblical masculinity at last? Tune in tomorrow on the briefing.
“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

What does it mean when all the non-Christian MAGA types are angrier about the Epstein coverup than any of the religious right folks?

Reminder that Mike Johnson was in predator Paul Pressler’s inner circle and has worked to minimize or cover up his abuses too. It’s a pattern.
Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

Today’s Marcus Aurelius reading says to prepare yourself each morning to encounter unpleasant and difficult people and resolve to control your own emotions and self no matter what, and also to remember their ignorance drives their evil, and you came from the mind of the same Deity.

If you’re in the PCA, and you routinely don’t know or don’t care who Erick Erickson is, that Jabba the Hutt lookalike is over on X saying it’s ok if children’s are molested as long as it’s a partisan issue. You are all the same.

95% of evangelicals voted for this and think this is funny.
“Trump directed the Department of Justice to pay special attention to figures like Larry Summers and Joe Biden, on the grounds they had refused to answer questions about Epstein. By contrast, he described former President Bill Clinton as ‘extremely forthcoming.’”

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Sure, but when *I* say it, people lose their minds :)
Where America stands, one year after the election.

A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet.

Escalation, Authoritarian “Normalization,” or a Democratic Turnaround?

The flagrant disregard for the truth, did this come from the Great Books?
The Vice President is a shameless liar still peddling this debunked, racist trash. What a disgrace.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

Scoop: The Trump admin's videos boasting triumphs on immigration have used misleading footage from months ago or thousands of miles away

When we showed them the errors, DHS said they make a lot of videos and the White House said it'll keep making "banger memes"
