The party full of sexual predators is actively finding new ways to endanger children.
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.”
That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth.
What came next was even wilder.

I read a book on making money in ancient Athens recently (by Michael Leese, it's great), and the Greeks absolutely believed that the endless pursuit of wealth was a serious moral defect and personality issue no different than being a drunk or sexual deviant.
If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

we all understand this intuitively, but there's like this ... shame gap, or hyperbole gap. R's can say libs should be rounded up into camps and you get "trump proposes controversial policy" from the NYT. Any Dem can mildly suggest R's are not great for democracy & the pearls come out for clutching.
Imagine, for just a second, Biden saying this about Fox News.

Trump: "I think the people that have run CNN are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be sold because you certainly wouldn't want to just leave those people with some money so they can spend even more spending poison. It's lies. I wouldn't want to see the same company end up with CNN."
