MAGA is splintering, but the right-wing machine is still well-oiled.

No matter who's POTUS until 2028, the R base will pretty much hold together. They have to be outnumbered. Period.

We keep finding out men we've admired (or propped up) are rapists and pedophiles.

It's no wonder (📢 SOME NOT ALL--too many) men want us to shut up about rape and pedophilia.

Karoline Leavitt says “there is plentiful evidence to show that the officer was struck by the car.” She must have meant to say “no evidence whatsoever,” right?

Kim: I was having a conversation with someone within his administration, we were talking about something we disagreed with the president on. And they were just like, “Let’s just not talk about this and keep it quiet, and maybe he’ll forget about it.” Literally—someone on his own team was saying this

Gifford: This ridiculous rhetoric by the president—it’s going to impact every single American because it makes them lose faith in us.

That makes them less likely to travel here, buy American products, or invest here. This broken trust—the work of diplomacy—is very hard to build back.
