A graphic with red hearts thanking school library assistants.
We appreciate all of the library workers that keep our libraries running smoothly! In school libraries, library assistants keep the engines running day to day! We thank you! @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Anat Rubin and I co-wrote a story for @calmatters.org about the people behind Sheriff Chad Bianco's "election investigation" -- sovereign citizens, Christian nationalists, and "constitutional sheriffs."

Smart thread:
Took a look at what self styled GOP gunslinger Mike Davis had to say on X re Blanche appointing Joe diGenova to investigate John Brennan since he's so hepped up on this massive conspiracy case being brought before Judge Aileen Cannon. Quoted Julie Kelly & John Solomon, that was it...
The most Russian/Soviet invention of the MAGA marketing machine: TDS (TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME), a mental disorder that only afflicts one's political opponents.
Found the specific reference to Dmitry Firtash paying Joe diGenova & his wife, Victoria Toensing, for access to AG Bill Barr. Firtash himself told the NYT he paid them $1.2M for their services. Gift link:

"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr
An examination by ProPublica shows how thoroughly and expansively the Trump administration has overhauled the federal government into what some fear is a vehicle for making sure elections go his way.
DJT’s words don’t matter to the Pope.
Neither do Vance’s.
Really.
Stop trying to create a debate—whoever you are who is doing this.
There’s no debate.
No quarrel.
Just some peeved Americans spouting off at someone who lives and works on another plain from them.
Puh-lease.
Democrats don’t need rapists and pedophiles to help us keep our house in order thank you very much.
I really feel like if you didn't want the TV preachers of the 80s, you don't know how much of it all was an absolute con. Paula grifted $150 million off her first church and went bankrupt with $20ish million in debt. AND THEN SHE FAILED UP!
Tulsi wants to blame Ukraine for interfering in the 2016 election because she's a Pootie stooge.

Let that sit for a second.
My new piece on how the Trump movement uses faith as a costume — and what happens when real religious leaders push back.

Don’t expect a wholesale collapse in Trump’s support. Some will leave, others have tied their conscience to his success. Those will double down, again and again. My new piece explores how humiliating the MAGA faithful only binds them more tightly to Trump.

Jared Kushner’s role is no different than Steve Witkoff’s.
So why is he being held to a different ethics standard than someone who has the same job?
"The president has not told me about that proposal" -- RFK Jr tries to distance himself from Trump's comments about sending Medicaid and Medicare to states
Notice that Trump is calling a peace deal with Iran a "transaction," which leads me to emphasize again that Jared and Witkoff have no business being in the thick of things.
I am once again asking, if you were trying to destroy the US, what would you do differently?

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "This is really meaningful for our community to see that something is actually happening to hold people accountable who inflicted this damage on our community, but also nationwide we're receiving a lot of support"
Gross little men and their dumb little faces.
Why isn't it immediately obvious to everyone that the solution is to move away from dependence on oil?
(I know why there is resistance, of course. The oil industry generates a lot of money.)
But still.

RFK Jr: I was talking about people with profound autism
McBATH: Then can you apologize to the thousands of families that do not believe what you're telling us now?
RFK Jr: No
McBATH: I find that very sad
RFK Jr: Those are crocodile tears
NEW: How Jared Kushner Became A Billionaire
"Jared Kushner is traveling the world—as an unelected, not-officially-appointed official—actively shaping US government policy. At the same time, he is soliciting funds for his own private equity business."
