SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵
Justice Dept. Settles Flynn’s Wrongful Prosecution Suit for $1.25 Million (Gift Article)
The agreement was an extraordinary example of how the Trump administration has offered legal relief to those aligned with the president.

Everyone should learn about the New Apostolic Reformation, a dominionist Christian cult, that was crucial to the lead up to J6 and the spread of the Big Lie about the 2020 election. They believe they're called by God to take dominion back from Satan. The GOP candidate for CO governor has NAR beliefs

A big social factor too. Republican officials are terrified of being labeled a traitor, becoming a hate object of right-wing media, and shunned by friends and family. Adam Kinzinger's family members publicly denounced him for saying the Constitution is good and a violent attack on America is bad.

If anyone thinks that Mrs Hegseth heading up some kind of organization to help military spouses is commendable, I'd like to remind them that this is a couple who has an almost cult-like religious belief in patriarchal leadership. I worry that there will be unrealistic and misogynistic expectations
If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.
DHS has begun summoning Haitian immigrants in Ohio to check-in appointments with officers who are outfitting them with ankle monitors, in what appears to be a new enforcement effort after the Supreme Court allowed the end their humanitarian protections.
ICE begins outfitting Haitian immigrants with ankle monitors, attorneys say
Haitian immigrants in Ohio with temporary protected status are being called to ICE offices for check-ins after federal officials said their protections had ended.

Judge Williams SPECIFICALLY said it was illegal under 26 USC 7217 for Blanche to immunize Trump on tax crimes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
So dark — the @nypost invented a story about “thousands” of 9/11 families telling @NYCMayor Zohran to “stay away” from the anniversary ceremony… then tried to cover it up when they got called out. (After others picked it up) From @JuddLegum: www.threads.com/share/BAYurF...
The most corrupt, unethical AG in the US history will now take office after a sham deal with retiring Republican senators. Now this lawless DOJ will run amok with Trump’s criminal defense attorney carrying out his retribution tour against the innocent while the guilty go free.

As Cornyn noted at Blanche's confirmation hearing—and as Blanche agreed!—this doesn't change the underlying settlement between Trump and the government, which required the fund to be established. Trump could sue to enforce the settlement. Or Blanche could resurrect the fund once he's confirmed.
Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social · 3d agoNEWS: Todd Blanche says he is rescinding his May 18 order establishing the “anti-weaponization fund”
Exactly this. RFK Jr meant the conspiracy theory kooks peddling ivermectin & hydroxychloroquine. He lied when he said these kooks cured “thousands” of people, and he lied when he said ICUs were empty during the pandemic, and he lied when said RSV & Lyme were caused by gain of function research.
Mike Masnick@masnick.com · 3d agoBecause RFK Jr. doesn't mean actual frontline doctors. He means the conspiracy theory propaganda org. "America's Frontline Doctors" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...
why is this such a complicated thing for people to understand
Jemele Hill@jemelehill.bsky.social · 3d agoThe WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
🚨The Trump Administration hoarding hydroxychloroquine at the height of Covid led to drug shortages for people like me with lupus. RA, Sjogrens & other illnesses. There was about a month where I could not refill my prescription. The efficacy of this drug is proven for lupus but was NEVER for Covid.💔

More like Apple is Giraffe and Giraffe is Car therefore Apple is Car.
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
Why am I awake at 3am? I'm processing what I saw today: I saw libs literally form a human shield around a nazi who crashed the anti-Bovino rally. Then I saw a crowd of over-dressed nazis who paid $50 to sit in a muddy tent in a nazi's back yard im Greenfield, IN to see Greg Bovino speak.

More proof that "America First" means "Me First". He doesn't care about the parts of the country who voted against/criticize him, only the parts that seem to support him. He'd actively encourage foreign attacks on American soil if it meant attacking his perceived enemies. He's a domestic enemy
