Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

Netanyahu tried to dodge his court appearance by claiming a major diplomatic visit was happening today. That turned out to be false. So he showed up in court and then claimed he needed to leave and rest due to bronchitis.

Confirmed by reporters who were there.

JD Vance: "Because we have such a big problem with left-wing political violence, we have to train the investigatory and law enforcement powers of the govt to focus on that particular problem ... we really have to retrain the entire govt to focus on this left-wing violence problem. We are doing it."

Somehow, the low-fat Twinkies were the last snack cake standing, limping along into the early 2000s as the sole remnant of the Hostess Lights line, long after the rest of the offerings had been dropped

Hostess Lights (1990-circa 1995): A line of low-fat and cholesterol-free (as was the style at the time) treats from Hostess. Varieties included plain chocolate, raspberry-filled, vanilla pudding-filled, and apple spice cupcakes, as well as brownies and Twinkies

A cross section of a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting, with a red jelly filling, sitting next to a single raspberry. The top of the image reads "New 97% fat free, no cholesterol Hostess Lights". The ad copy reads "Let them eat cake.", and a line up of 3 different white boxes with images of cupcakes with different fillings sits along the bottom

If SCOTUS overturns a key provision in the Voting Rights Act, it could cement Republican control of the House for decades.

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.
