Don't listen to lunatic Marjorie Taylor Greene who has blood coming out of her whatever insisting we must PROTECT THE VICTIMS! Listen to Megyn Kelly instead! MAGA moms know kids shouldn't learn about sex in books! They must learn by getting "deflowered" by rich white men who can't handle real women!

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

I hope this is true. (Not optimistic though)
Whether they realize it or not, all these CEOs getting in bed with Trump for short-term benefit to exploit his transactional corruption are self-inflicting long-term reputational damage to themselves personally and their brands. The stink of Trump never washes off.

$143 million in taxpayer money has gone to a mysterious company created just days before it got the money to create a Homeland Security ad campaign starring the deeply corrupt Kristi Noem. A firm with close ties to Noem is secretly cashing in on the deal, according to ProPublica.
Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts
The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

Meanwhile, it's being reported this morning that Trump and Pete Hegseth are ramping up their bloodthirsty and incoherent threats to wage land war on Venezuela. Note how the fact that they're threatening to do this unilaterally has been relegated to an afterthought in much of the coverage.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

Trump:

Lindsey Graham - great!

Marge Greene - terrible!

If anything proves conclusively that MAGA’s central AND ONLY organizing principle is loyalty to Trump, this simple example proves it better than most anything else.

The hypocrisy is the point but you almost have to be in awe of the amoral shamelessness of arguing that 15 year olds reading Toni Morrison is child abuse but raping then is all a part of the game.

A pastor in Michigan was arrested for sexually assaulting children for many years. This includes 2 counts with a child under 13 and 2 counts with a child at least 13, but less than 16.

Obviously, you can think whatever you want about any book, but to me, Nabokov's two masterworks (Lolita, Pale Fire) are about horrible people possessed of deep delusions of grandeur who aim to get the reader on their side by appearing to be smart. And a lot of people fall for it!
