NEW: @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social obtained body cam footage from the investigation into Rep. Max Miller's alleged abuse. In it, Emily Moreno alleges Miller held her at gunpoint while she changed their daughter's diaper. It also reveals him downplaying their daughter's broken collarbone to detectives.

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

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 a Klan Rally. These people only have to hear a name that their lizard brains process as sounding Arabic and hate immediately pours out.

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

I hadn't caught this, but the percent of the population who says "higher prices" are the reason their household finances declined in the last year hit the *all time* high in the UMichigan Sentiment data.

Trump's support for coal is showing results.

Black lung rates in Appalachia are high as the 1970s, with thousands of miners sick

Rates are now the highest they've been in nearly 50 years among veteran coal miners. Mining experts blame toxic silica dust, now more common in mines.

He's accusing his ex-wife of violating their shared custody agreement because she took their daughter to the emergency room with a broken collarbone? bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Max Miller: When I was reported for child abuse, for my daughter, for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days, and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan

Apparently God’s legislative priorities include tax cuts for billionaires and taking health care and food assistance away from millions of Americans.

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

People are skipping heart tests, delaying surgeries, and showing up uninsured in emergency rooms because Republicans decided it was a good idea to make health coverage EVEN MORE UNAFFORDABLE.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

This past weekend, former Mayor Eric Adams was in Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town. The public hearing did not go well. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-i...
