Giving themselves excuses, reasons, mandates even, to be violent.

Poor them, WE are forcing these otherwise peaceful people to do dastardly things. 🙄

Dave McCormick: "I do think some of this horrible language on the extreme left -- 'fascism, Nazism, authoritarianism' -- I think that's a recipe, an introduction and encouragement to violence. It's gotta stop."

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Exports of U.S. farm products declined by 60% after the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1929.

Countries retaliated with tariffs of their own, then turned to other sources for key U.S. farm products—such as wheat, pork, and cotton.

Exports did not fully rebound until after World War II.

Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone. This corrects a previous post in which I said idiots on Twitter are saying every protester at the No Kings rally this weekend is getting $50,000 cash in a Cava takeout bag. With all due respect, [turns to camera] you people are fucking idiots.

This quote from Sydney Reid, who was acquitted in a humiliating case for Jeanine Pirro today, is <>.

She's right tho--criminal cases have the possibility to backfire in really significant way.

www.huffpost.com/entry/sidney...

Reid, in a statement through her attorneys, said the verdict shows “that this administration and their peons are not able to invoke fear in all citizens.”

“I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump’s irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man,” she said. “Knowing that I can stand in front of 12 of my fellow citizens and be found not guilty for standing up for basic human rights makes me feel like, despite the scary times we live in, we have hope for the future.”

This is such an odd statement that could only be made by a shallow and deeply damaged person. Mike Johnson is scoffing at making sure people don't die because giving tax cuts to billionaires is all he cares about.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 12h

Mike Johnson: "Let me predict what Sen. Kelly is gonna say on the show. He's gonna give you a long, impassioned speech about healthcare and how the subsidies are so important to make sure people don't die and all of this. Let me tell you something. This is not a healthcare fight."

It bears repeating that if you can't get through a campaign without getting sued for defamation, then an office demanding subtle diplomacy may not be for you.

This is A.J. Elia,
