Reporters: Here's a simple question that will generate viral stories. "How exactly is it Marxist?" The response will be a dodge, so you've got to stay with it and follow it up. "No, you said DEI was Marxist. What did you mean by that? Specifically?"

NYT, which for all its other issues has been out front on the Trump family billion-dollar graft beat, had another great piece today about Don Jr. and Eric's world corruption tour I wrote about this yesterday. Why isn't this a huge deal? Who will stop it? My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Obviously I'm not an aviation expert, but when multiple people have to be placed on "trauma leave" after an incident, that seems really bad?

Trump’s back in the White House—and his kids are cashing in. Saudi towers, Qatari golf deals, crypto schemes. This isn’t public service. It’s a shakedown. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

I don’t personally feel bad for him at all. He knew exactly what he was getting into. If a man wants to intentionally light his reputation on fire and throw it off a cliff, who am I to judge?

Can't help but think about how twenty five years ago some dude failed at making a shoe bomb and now we have to deal with airport security theater forever but five years ago there was a global pandemic that killed millions that is still active and now masks are banned, and how the difference is $$

Putting this out there: Germ theory took shape from ~1850-1900. It's settled knowledge, except... It isn't. Not now. My new book is about how we got germ theory & what it will cost us if we ignore it. I'm eager to talk on this w. anyone or group about this. It's urgent. Virtually or in person.

🧵This is who we are now? A country where it’s acceptable to parade a “F*ck the Jews” sign through a packed Philly bar while people cheer & shout slurs? We are 2% of the U.S. population but 2/3 of religious hate crimes are against us. This didn’t start in a vacuum. It’s open season on Jewish people

When Trump says that upholding the Constitution and ensuring the rights it guarantees people would slow down his agenda, he’s admitting that his agenda ignores the Constitution and violates people’s rights. He’s breaking the law and doesn’t think anyone will stop him.

Maybe democratic leaders need to make it clear now: if you’re a nation that engaged in absolute corruption with the Trump family, you will absolutely pay a price when he is out of office. Our people deserve better
