This interview with Lindsey Graham is ridiculous.

No politician should be allowed to grandstand in support of Trump bombing boats or going to war with Venezuela without being challenged on why he pardoned a major drug kingpin, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández.

Quick explainer for why this is a big deal, a thread.
This is a big deal in the conservative legal world: John Malcom and the Ed Meese center are leaving the Heritage Foundation, 15 staff departing in all. (Hard to translate this for a BlueSky audience, but it's a pretty significant move in the conservative legal world.)

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

Censorship is major step on the path toward an authoritarian regime. Cancelling an important 60 Minutes piece on the very real brutality being experienced by imprisoned people has lit a 4 alarm fire.

When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate.

They are state-run media.

Add Bari Weiss and CBS to the list of those who have betrayed our Republic.

This is dumb. This is energy that power utilities want and were banking on. And these are really good jobs.

Ending the solar tax credits is stupid as well. We need to produce more energy in this country and that is what grid-tied solar does. Solar also created more than 280,000 jobs in the USA!

He isn’t right often, but Rand Paul is right about Venezuela policy.
Rand Paul: "All these designations are steps towards war -- calling drug runners terrorists, saying, 'Oh, if they have a designation'-- Well, how'd they get it? We gave it to them. Why is the former president of Honduras released? So some narcoterrorists are okay & others we're going to blow up"

Remember this?

James O'Keefe got Pam Bondi on video last May saying the FBI was processing “tens of thousands of videos” of Epstein “with little kids.”

Then she told reporters “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.”

The Trump White House has added partisan, insult filled descriptive plaques beneath portraits of past presidents along a White House colonnade he’s labeled the Presidential Walk of Fame. Reagan received praise because he was the scamvangelical trickle down prototype Trump learned from.
