As the Streisand Effect teaches, I am obligated to repost the post that led to ABC News' dismissal of Terry Moran: "Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred is only a means to an end, and that end is his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment." #TerryMoran #ABCNews #StephenMiller

The GOP loves blaming the national debt on govt spending that helps millions of people. What they won't tell you? The real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich. If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush & Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

🦋 Trump 1.0 used same tactic to intimidate Judges but failed In 2019 Massachusetts Judge Shelley Joseph was indicted on charges of helping an illegal immigrant sneak out a courthouse back door to evade ICE. Charges were dropped in 2022. The same charges now facing Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan. 🦋

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

Jesus. No one's asserting that MS-13 isn't bad. They're asserting that Abrego Garcia didn't have anything to do with it. This stunt not only doesn't provide that evidence, it pretty much proves they don't have it. Why else would they go to such lengths to muddy the waters like this?

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

What a contrast between how our allies get treated versus little dictators like Bukele. Not a word about him not wearing a suit either, as he petitions the US to expand his country’s mercenary penal colony by sending him more money.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?
