If you need the food bank right now, there’s no shame. Shame belongs to a system that pays poverty wages, cuts childcare, and lets healthcare bankrupt families.
If you can give, do. If you can’t, that’s okay too.

Just a normal Thursday going through evidence in 50 year old federal criminal cases against mafia that I’ve had in storage in my basement. From back when working for the Department of Justice meant upholding the rule of law.

I think if you're at all a rational person you recognize that there is nothing that this administration would not do. No censorship, no murder, no corruption that they'd stop at. They're 100% all in on this and Republicans are 100% on board with it. All that matters is how we react.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

If anyone had told me there would come a time when I would agree with anything said by Tucker Carlson, Karl Rove, and Nick Fuentes, all in the same week, I would have laughed out loud and called them crazy. Here we are.

All of the people Trump has appointed were appointed because he knew they would destroy their organizations.
This is all right out in the open, they’re not even hiding anything.

A Black Police Officer & war veteran, David Rose, was murdered bravely rushing in to defend the CDC from an horrendous attack. Trump gave him zero attention for his heroism & sacrifice. No flag half-staff. No posthumous medals. No call to his wife & 2 young kids. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-hero-dav...

The extremely extreme right seems perfectly willing to murder members of the merely very extreme right. And of course the entire left gets blamed for the extreme violence.
In summary:
The hateful Charlie Kirk was shot by the acolyte of a more hateful version of Charlie Kirk.
It wasn’t any of the imaginary bogeymen they were hoping for.
Just a case of them slowly drowning in their own hate.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has told his staff to identify any members of the military who have mocked or condoned the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk so that they can be punished, two defense officials told NBC News.
