Maybe it is Netanyahu's long-running corruption that has bitterly divided the country, rather than the due process of law.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked Israel's president to grant him a pardon during his long-running corruption trial that's bitterly divided the country. n.pr/48FC2Ue

#ElonMusk says climate won’t be “serious” for 50 years, which is adorable given we have about three before we blow the 1.5°C carbon budget. #climatecrisis #uspolitics

We didn’t realize how bad Trump’s Biden-derangement syndrome really is. The first analysis found that he mentioned “Biden” an average of 6.32 times per day. That number has since climbed it’s now just over seven times a day.

So a single Afghan man that Americans trained in combat tactics has supposedly shown himself incompatible with "Western Civilization" and now all Afghanis are unwelcome. Cool. Someone tell Trump about all the angry white male Americans shooting folks in bunches. Toss them, we're really in business.

Six Indiana state senators who have refused to go along with Trump’s redistricting scheme have been subjected to swatting incidents. This is mob rule and it has to end.

Time to write off your birth parents, if they can rationalize your murder.
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

If a student’s reaction to assigned material is “I reject the assigned material outright as a matter of personal belief,” the response should be “we respect your beliefs so much that we’re unenrolling you from this class to make room for a student interested in engaging with the subject.”

Love it!
Henry Ford accused industrialist and statesman Bernard Baruch of being the secret Jewish dictator of the United States. When reporters asked Baruch for comment he said, "Now, boys, you wouldn't expect me to deny that would you?"

The White House launched a page on its website, titled the “Hall of Shame,” devoted to naming and shaming media outlets and reporters that publish stories Trump disagrees with.

“Misleading. Biased. Exposed,” the site reads.
Trump ramps up reporter attacks with White House media bias tracker
A new White House webpage presents a “Hall of Shame” for news reports that the president disagrees with, coming after Trump voiced personal attacks on female reporters at ABC, CBS, the New York Times ...

Republicans cheat because they cannot win fairly.
There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

in an era with almost no constitutional protections for immigrants. Manufacturing an external conflict in order to invoke it is a textbook Miller tactic: create a crisis, use the crisis to claim extraordinary authority, and then apply that authority to carry out hardline domestic policy goals.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Lots of people are going to die.

The prognosis for the CDC is dire. What is being promoted as reform is, in reality, a misdiagnosis. The result is a cascade of systemic failure.

Another example of anti-semitism out in the open in politics.

Tina Peters’ ally and MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann blames “Satan Jews” for imprisoning Peters: Governor Polis, AG Weiser, DA Rubinstein, SOS Griswold.

Oltmann then repeats his call for executions by hanging.

Oof.
Stephen Miller says Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal was incapable of assimilating to American culture. But a factcheck shows that Lakanwal used a gun to assault and kill multiple innocent people. Four Pinocchios.

Weather it’s Joe Biden pardoning kids who were caught with a couple ounces of weed or Donald Trump pardoning the Honduran president who smuggled in 400 tons of cocaine, both presidents were soft on drugs.
