To quote a MAGA relative, "I know he's terrible, but God can work through terrible people. Look at King David." I pointed out that the whole point is that David repented. That didn't go over well.

‘All-out assault on our democracy:’ Bondi’s Minnesota blackmail letter draws righteous fury from state election leaders “This isn't leadership. This is blackmail," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "This is the way organized crime works."

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

My father is a Vietnam veteran who will likely finish out his days at the VA in Minnesota. If you think Alex Pretti is the problem, you have lost your way.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Wut?

It didn’t take a Reichstag Fire to burn down Congress | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, what’s troubling about Maine’s Nazi tattoo flap.

The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down

The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common good—keeping the common good in mind—is a moral attitude. It recognizes that we’re all in it together.

100% true.

Their god is the worst. Just awful.
