Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

If a Democratic Vice President went on Face the Nation and said that the Catholic Church only opposes abortion because it wants to make money, their political career would be over and there would be calls for them to resign. Vance is benefitting right now from a double standard.

A new OECD report confirms that US road safety is an abject failure.

Americans are far more likely to die in a crash than those living in other rich countries. US per capita crash death rates are at least 3x higher than Ireland, Norway, UK, Germany, or Japan.

"North Carolinians deserve better than a spectacle of judicial malfeasance in which arrogant jurists seek to short-circuit the democratic process based on their preferred outcomes. The future of the state’s democracy hangs in the balance."

In this moment of crisis, the courts have become the final guardrail against the forces of authoritarianism that seek to undermine the will of the voters.

2. The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire the inspectors general.
Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals could clear the way for the president to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.

The Senate just confirmed Pete Hegseth- a domestic abuser who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote- to lead the Pentagon.

Republicans truly have no bottom. This is an absolutely disgusting confirmation.

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts.

A 17 year old opened fire in a Nashville high school today. Hours before police shared his name, fringe extremist communities correctly identified him as one of their own. He left behind a manifesto expressing unadulterated neo-Nazi ideology that endorsed violent “accelerationst” tactics.

Trump's J6 pardons betray the officers who risked their lives at the Capitol, many of whom still protect the very same Republicans now siding with the rioters.

I invited Officer Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges to discuss J6 and the devastating impact these pardons have on law enforcement.
