Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

The "young intern" at the White House who has been retweeting juvenile, racist, and otherwise embarrassing material from Donald Trump's account for at least 11 years was born on June 14, 1946 at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, New York, NY. He sometimes goes by the name John Barron.

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be
counting his bullet wounds.”

People are saying this because it doesn't matter whether someone is a good person or a bad person, there is no justification for police or ICE to execute them. We want people to stop being tried in the court of public opinion for being murdered
Maybe I'm misreading the room but it feels like people are scolding each other for sharing the legitimately admirable parts of Alex Pretti's life to honor him and the good he was trying to do and if so that's fucked up

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

For years, we have been lectured on the importance of major news outlets — about how their integrity prevents our democracy from dying in darkness. Yet Donald Trump just stood on a well-lit global stage and declared his intention to abuse the criminal justice system to destroy electoral democracy.
