Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Apple yanked ICEBlock after law enforcement pressure, labeling it objectionable. The app crowdsourced ICE sightings, hit 1M users, and still works for existing downloads. AG Pam Bondi threatened the developer. Waze and Google Maps remain.

Republicans are all such cowards. It is always "I don't know about it" whenever confronted by the hideous racism of this regime. They claim ignorance because the KNOW it is wrong -- and yet they stand by him. Total complicity.

We are quickly sliding into authoritarianism. I write about authoritarian regimes for a living. Never did I think I would be writing about my own country.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Why ON EARTH are we subsidizing Argentina even as we shut down our government, leaving federal workers without paychecks? What happened to "America First"? Not that such a notion was ever attractive to me. Pure hypocrisy & double talk from one toxic regime helping another.

Just because Pam Bondi won't hold Trump's thugs accountable doesn't mean they're above all laws. SCOTUS has long recognized that federal officers can be held to account under state criminal laws under certain circumstances. Time for states to step into the breach!

"The mad libs-style references to immigration, crime, and transgenderism are a tell-tale sign that Trump is desperate to move the focus of conversation away from health care." I.e., Republicans are more nervous than they're letting on - or they should be.

How to Debunk Republicans’ Shutdown Talking Points

Their main argument is about health care, and it shows how desperate they are to dodge blame when prices spike for millions of Americans.

Trump posts about the indictment of James Comey, calling him “One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to.”

Trump: JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI. Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation.
