A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

96% of Democrats know this. Guess how many Republicans agree. Seriously.

Good job for a former President. I can't picture T doing anything similar. Maybe a parade, starring himself.

This really is an opportunity for long term peace in the Middle East. It would be nice if they stopped killing each other as well.

Capitulation to the oligarchs. The airlines pulled their IOUs. Boycott the airlines.
Angus King is an independent but he caucuses with the Dems. There’s a reason of them who voted yes are retiring. It’s likely a bunch more Dems wanted this but ones who face the least consequences fell on the sword. Root out who wanted this. It’s more than 8.
Below are the eight #Democrats who voted to raise health care costs for millions to make it unaffordable. These eight cowardly traitors caved into Republican bullying and sadism and betrayed their constituents. Every one should be primaried.

Fake videos are a moral challenge to modern media outlets. Tim Miller of Bulwark goes deep on how Fox got fooled and then weasel worded their correction. Fox has always made room for Trump's deceptions, but this is bigly unprofessional (17 min,).

Israel's unmitigated revenge against Gaza has managed to unite the left with parts of MAGA with antisemitic conspiracy theories. One hopeful aspect ... it seems to be splitting MAGA.

Districting to insure a black rep is indeed a form of gerrymander. I suspect the motive is, however, not the desire for fairness.

Why is democracy the worst form of government except for all the others. I list some reasons as paradoxes.

Paradox #1: The first paradox of democracy is that the People must be competently represented, but the People are clearly unqualified to competently pick their leaders.

If Trump can just get Gaza back to its prewar stability, he would deserve the Nobel Prize. This has been dreadful for everyone involved, including the US. Geopolitical turmoil has aggravated age old tensions. Hamas is a legion of monsters, but Israel does not have clean hands.

Charlie Kirk was generous in the sense that he went to places where Intelligent people were given a chance to argue with him. Was he generous in terms of actually helping the poor, the hungry, the homeless, the stranger. IDK. He preached a bootstrap philosophy to true believers.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk from the highest levels of the Trump regime ranks among the greatest disgraces in American history.
