They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan on why the Far Right lie about London crime: “They don’t want our modern, multicultural, progressive metropolis to succeed because they can’t stomach the truth. London is a place where people of every creed, colour and culture live together in peace and mutual respect.”

Unprecedentedly corrupt.
The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

One of many things that is utterly pathetic about corporate media in the US is its refusal to report simple facts about international law when they think powerful people in the US would be offended. It's cowardice, plain and simple.
just say it, reporters, it's not hard: '...the trump administration's open threats to use military force against a state that has not attacked it are widely seen by experts as illegal under international law...' there is very little to debate about that.
The country's largest aircraft carrier is expected to join thousands of service members in the northern Caribbean Sunday. But it's unclear if President Trump will use military force. n.pr/47XHvV3

There you go, @seanlwoodcock.bsky.social, just as no form of #Brexit will ever be hard enough for the Brexiters, no form of cruelty to immigrants & asylum seekers will be enough for the racists.
So stop being cruel, try welcoming these people & recognise what they can contribute to this country.
