Watch MAGA shift to “if Trump did it, then child rape is not so bad.”
Rep. Garcia: “The president could right now end all the speculation and do the right thing for the survivors by releasing the files…It is time to end this White House cover-up and release the Epstein files today.”

Why pause the White House ballroom project for pubic comment or historic preservation review? Can’t we just trust in Trump’s good taste to save the White House from visual desecration?

Apparently the offender is being prosecuted by the State and not DOJ. So Trump cannot intervene to pardon this violent creep yet again.

It can be depressing watching mainstream "Christianity" descent into the moral abyss of faux-christian rightwinglery. So it is wonderful to see a religious leader who actually cares about what Jesus taught.
For a change.

NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

Trump shows he is losing more IQ points with every rambling and disjointed news conference.
Trump on Schumer: "I think he's losing IQ points with time. I think that happens. I hope it hasn't happened with me. I know if it did, you guys would let me know about it very quickly."

Trump: I want to thank Stephen Miller I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far

I call this fascism. He is threatening to use blue American cities as training grounds for the military.
I do not call it nazism, yet. Nazism went well beyond the authorianism that defines fascism when it descended into such mindless cruelty shown in the holocaust.

Trump gave a demented, fascist rant that should frighten us all. This is an unbelievable whitewash!
President Trump spoke to military leaders at Quantico for about an hour and 10 minutes.
He spoke about military strength, his love of tariffs and repeatedly praised the work of firefighters.

If Trump can send troops into cities without bothering to show the need for Marshal Law, and is not stopped, then we are already living under a dictatorship.

Both. A madman surrounded by a cunning and methodical staff.
Which is it? Is Trump cleverly, methodically attacking the foundation and pillars of free government with cunning and guile? Or is he a madman whose danger lies in his recklessness?

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?

I am far from the first to think this, but Venezuela is the perfect punching bag for a bully-coward president like Trump. Not dangerous like the big boys Russia/China who humiliate him, and easy to make a big show of looking tough by beating up in the playground. We may be be at war within days.

Many trials for #multiplemyeloma continue even as Trump has slashed cancer research. But multiple myeloma is a rare cancer uniquely suited for research. Progress against our most common cancers will slow greatly unless funding is restored.

This shameful market manipulation explains why the cost of this drug was barely reduced when I switched to the generic last year.
Today on @nprfreshair.bsky.social: Our @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social discusses “The Price of Remission,” where he investigates why a single pill of the cancer treatment he takes costs roughly the same as a new iPhone.

How much are we willing to pay for life-saving medications?
ProPublica health care reporter David Armstrong has multiple myeloma. He says a single pill of his prescription costs the company just 25 cents to make — but costs him about the same as a new iPhone.
