who among us hasn't talked about loving Hitler or worked tirelessly on behalf of a person we called "America's Hitler" or talked about sending our political opponents to gas chambers or incited a wave of hatred of immigrants with vicious lies

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

When Genesis found out she was pregnant, she asked her managers at Amazon for a chair to sit on and extra breaks. She wound up with cut hours and no paid maternity leave—and homeless. Now, she and other pregnant Amazon warehouse workers are speaking up. My latest:

Jeffries: "Domestic violence is a serious issue in this country for women all throughout America. And the notion that House Republican leaders would dismiss the seriousness of what is clearly emerging as an untenable and frightening situation relative to Rep. Mills is irresponsible."

Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Trump has taken to threatening the American people to try and get what he wants. His authoritarian tactics have no place in our government.

Mike Johnson, fake Christian, doesn't think a Republican congressman beating up his girlfriend is "really serious."

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4h

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Again, Trump had the power to unilaterally deploy the DC National Guard on January 6th - he did not need permission from anyone. He didn’t do so.

For example, he did deploy the DC Guard as part of his fake emergency in the city this year.

Pete Hegseth hasn’t briefed Pentagon reporters in FOUR MONTHS.

The DoD’s own press secretary, Kingsley Wilson, hasn’t briefed reporters for TWO MONTHS.

The Pentagon is now, effectively, a dark site.

Meanwhile, the world’s largest military continues to assassinate dozens in international waters.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."
