We were warned, the Trump Republican christian nationalist have always wanted this. Everything else they claimed to believe was a lie. They have always wanted a religious state that enforced their religious laws with authoritarian power.

Attorneys for a Texas woman wrongfully charged with murder after having an abortion say that state officials are abusing their power by pushing to have the lawsuit against them dismissed under qualified immunity.

"Samantha" from the "tax review unit" sure is persistent, and she seems to have an infinite number of phone lines available to her.

It’s pretty fucking hard to make sense of us giving $40 billion to Argentina’s federal government when our federal workers are standing in fucking breadlines here at home.

"Federal agents fired a pepper round that struck the pastor of the College Heights United Church of Christ. The impact caked his face in orange powder...

“I’m in a lot of pain,” the pastor texted from the emergency room, “He clearly was aiming for the face.”

It’s amazing how so many Trump supporters who have never left the United States know so much about the day to day life and culture of people in countries all over the world.

Of course, that’s not what he was saying. He was pointing out what was obviously true to anyone alive then - there was a big backlash against Muslim-Americans and anyone with an Arab-sounding name right after 9/11. But Vance has to be an asshole 24/7 for his MAGA troll fans.

Trump and Republicans want to destroy our government and remake it in the image of their fascist christian nationalism.

The president himself has complained that our museums focus too much on 'how bad slavery was.'" This isn't just an off-the-cuff remark; it's the ideological core of Donald Trump’s campaign to rewrite our history. My piece in TIME explores the chilling implications.

Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History

"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

Ronald Reagan said, after a victory more decisive than Trump could ever dream of, the President is merely a temporary resident, holding the keys for a fixed term. That was the beauty of it.

The act of destruction is precisely the point: a kind of performance piece meant to display Trump’s arbitrary power over the Presidency, including its physical seat. He asks permission of no one, destroys what he wants, when he wants.

I lived Poland for 3 years and my colleagues told me so many stories. Everyone needs the opportunity to live in other cultures and experience them, and to observe your own culture from outside.

It's fine that you use the government against those people we hate, but not us. Have we learned anything yet?

Q: Can the president tear down anything he wants without oversight? Could he demolish this building or the Jefferson Memorial?

LEAVITT: Only for vertical construction will a submission be required.

Q: So it sounds like the answer is yes

I think one of the things that non-evangelicals find most annoying about evangelicals is when they claim that other people can’t lead happy and fulfilling lives unless they believe in the same things that they do.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

The casual bragging about how many boats and how many people the Pentagon has killed is what gets me. Celebrating your own utter disregard for human life is sociopathic. We don’t have a Department of Defense anymore, we have a cosplay convention for Call of Duty.
