Which part of "with liberty and justice for all" do these motherfuckers not understand?
For some reason Trump isn't citing Rasmussen polls anymore.

AP was not even fucking around with this headline finally.
Trump's racist post about Obamas is deleted after backlash despite White House earlier defending it
A racist post on President Donald Trump's social media account depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle has been taken down.

President Trump is holding hostage billions of dollars in funding for a New York infrastructure project, and won’t release it unless he gets New York’s Penn Station and Washington, D.C.’s Dulles International Airport named after him. trib.al/Me0TxPx

Doesn't sound like things are going great for the "diversity scares me" counter programming half time show but maybe they'll just lie about it like they did the Melania movie.

The right has not changed under Trump. He's just given them permission to be who they are in the open. They've let the hood slip, so to speak, and helped us remember who they are.

Trump's a black hand bruise on the body politic.

Another month down. Just 275 days left until the mid terms on November 3rd. We just have to keep pressing. Keep protesting. Keep building the blue wave.

They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

Color me surprised.
One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest?

The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.

I'm loving this incredibly accurate and no way made up review of the Melania movie.

Getting awfully sick of people who don't think it's fascism unless it's certified to come from the Romagna region of Mussolini's Italy.

Notice how the GOP didn't wring it's hands and say that this bill has little chance to pass the Senate so why bother? Democrats could learn from that. The fight matters as much as the results. Maybe more. People need to know you have their backs.
New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever
The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

Dumb fucks have caused a Measles outbreak in the US because when science solves a problem folks start taking it for granted. By the time Trump dies of old age MAGA will probably be claiming the Ozone Layer hole was a scam and we want our chlorofluorocarbons back. Make air conditioning great again.

If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

Republicans are fond of invoking the US's founding and the framers of the Constitution.

But their veneration is particularly rich right now: Of all the abuses England heaped on the colonies, nothing angered them more than the Crown’s deployment of soldiers on city streets, especially in Boston.
Donald Trump’s Twin Cities onslaught feels a lot like the British tyranny in colonial Boston
Centuries-old dispatches show how his administration has betrayed our founding principles.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.

Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."
Trump Changes Course in Minneapolis
The White House has been met with broad outcry over the killing of Alex Pretti, as well as pushback from Congress.
