Antisemitism on the far right is nothing new, but when JD Vance branded “I Love Hitler” as an “edgy joke” he provided a permission structure for extremism, and signaled to GOP leaders that this language is not a career-ender but an acceptable way to demonstrate loyalty to the MAGA base.

I was just (kinda) joking when I said Vance would try to marry Erika Kirk and dump Usha to become President.

Apparently...

Since MAGAts love to invoke “1776” ad nauseam, I think it’s time to remind them that at the time, the Colonists were divided in two:

Patriots- who rejected the/a King’s authority in favor of a Constitution.

Loyalists- who defended the King as the all powerful ruler.

#Patriots>Loyalists

Just a reminder: senate republicans have “gone nuclear” twice in the last two months to ram through over 150 Trump appointees. Now they’re acting like they just learned about it.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election.

The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls.

Huge if true.

The bottom line is that the GOP absolutely cannot be trusted to deal with any societal problem.

They lead with cruelty and focus exclusively on how to package private greed as public service.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Everybody's talking about Dem strategy, so here's something to add to the mix.

I start with this premise: The best and most reliable indicator of whether someone will vote red or blue is the density of the place they live. More dense, more likely to be blue, & vice versa.
