I talked about Paul Ingrassia on PBS Newshour tonight but I was a little inarticulate because there’s only so many ways to say, “this guy isn’t fringe. This is what Trumpism is.” 1/

This is insane. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Manchurian Candidate has one of my favorite explanations of why Trump doesn’t care about lying and how it works for him. Once you’ve heard it, you can’t forget it.

Sanho Tree@sanho.bsky.social · last yr.

Have you ever wondered why Trump & MAGA always lie so wildly about numbers without a care in the world? Watch Angela Lansbury explain the reason in this brilliant scene from The Manchurian Candidate. This was the basis for McCarthyism in a nutshell:

After Trump’s allies illegally leaked Mikie Sherrill’s unredacted military file to Jack Ciattarelli’s camp, she is grateful to veterans across the country for standing in solidarity. She’s clear: no veteran’s private records should ever be weaponized for politics. #VoteNJ

IDK how auto safety regulations work, but it blows my mind that we're years and years into Tesla being allowed to sell cars where you simply burn to death or drown or whatever when there's no electricity to open the doors. Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law died like this...and nothing changed.

Can't we just get healthcare

After deleting TikTok I finished two fellowships, earned a certification, and wrote an entire program. TikTok turned into a marketplace of people selling things I didn’t need. Do yourself a favor—your favorite influencers are on other platforms. You won’t miss a thing. #Pinks
