NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power.

Congrats to every Republican who warned about the massively dangerous pro-terrorist “I Hate America” rallies who now gets to see their words featured in a Daily Show montage with images of sweet little grandmothers waving little American flags

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.
The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...

I just woke up from a long nap, can someone tell me if Trump has already apologized to the nation for falsely blaming the Kirk assassination on the left when—as with both his assassination attempts and 85% of political violence this century per the data—it was a far-right nutjob?

It’s a deliberate information warfare strategy. There is a first mover advantage to putting out a narrative. Media is afraid to contest bc if that narrative is correct, they will be accused of bias. If IT’s wrong, they shift blame anyway (“leftist professors”). No accountability, win-win for MAGA

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good
