Trump's speech last night was transparently awful. It fooled no one and further served to illustrate what a disaster he has been and continues to be. Gunther will go down with the ship as it sinks.

If you want to build a pluralistic democracy, you have to fight Islamophobia. The latest @theispu.bsky.social polling shows #Islamophobia increasing in the US, but increasing the most among #Christians. This is a crisis the #church can act on, because we can teach love or hate. Our choice.

Not even Fox News is buying the innumerate Trump bullshit
Fox News' host presses Howard Lutnick over Trump's claim that he is cutting pharmaceutical prices by more than 100%:
“If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to zero. If you cut it by 400% or 500%…the drug companies are actually paying you to take their products.”
