"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

What always confuses me is when right-wing "Christians" say, "God doesn't make mistakes", then rain down hate on people who are gay, trans, a different religion or someone else they feel entitled to impose their views on.

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”.

Idiots.

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Why do I get the feeling we are going to hold Trump accountable by documenting every broken campaign promise while the people he made the promises to won’t care?

Trump’s incoming administration isn’t just mostly white and mostly male.

It’s also mostly rapist.

Trump vetted Hegseth in 2017; past allegations came up and scuttled a VA nom. This time Trump axed the normal vetting processes, hired a private firm, didn’t wait for a report, selected Hegseth. Now his team says it was blindsided. Uh, no—it got caught. This is why media needs curatorial journalism.

His AG breaks the law.
His DNI is a Russian spy.
His HHS doesn’t trust vaccines.
His NIH spread covid disinfo.
And his SECDEF defends war criminals.

The very people those agencies seek to protect the public FROM, are now positioned to RUN them.

Into the ground that is.
