It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

A Bishop Called For Mercy And A Congressman Called For Her To Be Deported. Here’s Why Criticism Of The Congressman Is Bad For Free Speech And Civil Society. Today in WaPo by Megan McArdle

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Sad but true.

Pete Hegseth said he doesn’t want women in combat and then sent his mommy to fight his battles for him

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Pretty much, huh.

They only worried that he’d been caught.

So... about that inflation...

This is consistent with the New York Times position that people have a “right to speak their minds and voice their opinions in public without fear of being shamed or shunned.” www.popehat.com/p/our-fundam...

And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.
