Several people who cast a single mistaken ballot were sent to prison for years. A Georgia Republican official who voted illegally nine times? Just a $5,000 fine. Apparently “election integrity” is a lot more forgiving when the offender has the right party affiliation.

He's either lying or mentally unfit. Either way, more laws & more court orders cannot fix the problem. Everyone knows this, & everyone is pretending otherwise.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

Was going to quote something like "Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them" but no, he is just plain fuckin stupid.

I know nothing matters any more but here's the president admitting that he accused Iran of bombing a school full of their own children based on absolutely nothing.

…this opening line is wildly untrue, although it is true that they've gotten less *attention,* which may be why they aren't *known* for discussing their faith.

To name a few:

Nathan Cavanaugh Deposition in ACLS-AHA-MLA Lawsuit About the NEH, Part 1 of 6 YouTube video by American Historical Association

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.

Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

The Gámez-Cuéllar family has been released. We are taking them now to reunite with their son Antonio.

When I returned to the Dilley trailer prison today, I brought my colleagues in Congress to meet with the children and families and to bear witness to their stories.

Under US occupation the women of Afghanistan enjoyed a generation of living with rights most of us here in the US consider basic and standard. Tore my heart out when those women had to live with the Taliban for the first time ever. Ms. Atef lives it daily to keep us informed. Brava.
