LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

"I don't want your daughter raped, kid murdered for being gay, money stolen by hidden taxes, wife killed by a miscarriage, son fucked by a hidden pedophile priest- but I'm totally voting MAGA. We're still friends, right?" No. These people are NOT your friends and it's up to you to tell them so.
