I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

It's not that complicated.

TWO THINGS I WILL
ALWAYS DO.
1. I WILL ALWAYS CONDEMN
ALL POLITICAL VIOLENCE,
INCLUDING THE HORRIBLE
MURDER OF CHARLIE KIRK.
2. I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT
CHARLIE KIRK WAS A HATEFUL,
TRANSPHOBIC, HOMOPHOBIC,
MISOGYNISTIC, RACIST, BIGOT,
AS PROVEN BY HIS OWN WORDS.

KIMMEL IS BACK! 🙌🏼 ABC/Disney/Nexstar — If you think this washes away your behavior, you are sorely mistaken.

There is a line between capitulating and collaborating. Increasingly many companies -- including some that own media -- are falling into that second group.

Democracy Docket will never capitulate, collaborate or cooperate with Trump and his cronies. Support pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

3 months ago, Senator Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their golden retriever were shot and killed in their home in a politically motivated attack by a conservative Christian disguised as a police officer.

Not only was Trump golfing during her services, he doesn't even recognize her name.
