Yeah, those stories.

Well, while those lies were being told, turns out that the Republicans telling them actually WERE spilling blood — as if the very thing they accuse someone else of is what they are doing.

Take Kristi Noem, who's said to be on Trump's VP list, and who now reveals she shot a 14-month-old puppy and with her blood thirst not sated by that cruel action, she turned her gun to a goat after that.

Adrian Horton reviews the new documentary "Bad Faith," tracking the rise of Christian nationalism in US politics today. As the film notes, Christian nationalist ideas have always been there in US culture, but they're on steroids today.

The current pseudo-religious political movement got underway with the formation of the Moral Majority by Republican strategist Paul Weyrich in the 1970s.

I've seen enough episodes of Supernatural to know this means that self-driving cars are powered by demons.

‘Dark Brandon strikes again!’

Apparently President Biden is giving a live interview to Howard Stern but not to the NYT citing ‘biased reporting’.

This is both savvy and truthful!

#Mangold asks #GaryFarro, “Have you heard the term shell corporation?

Farro: “l have.”

Farro explains what a "shell company" is, agreeing w/prosecution that it's an entity w/o any business operations.

Farro says he was assigned to #MichaelCohen who had been a client at the bank for years before he took over the relationship.

Cohen told Farro that he worked for #Trump
& says he seemed "very excited" about that.

@GottaLaff
Yes, our GOP supermajority controlled legislature in Tennessee is super awful, but I want to point out that with the help of a few great journalists and a lot of grassroots activists that we were just able to stop their attempted theft of public school money with the latest DeVos private school voucher scheme here.

Just wanted to post some hopeful news to go along with this sad news about the gun industry winning another round.

Happy Passover Earth Day when Jews celebrate the dramatic geophysical events that convinced the pharaoh to free them and that even in the face of persecution and oppression by the fossil fuel overlords, we shall endure and overcome.

Bigotry doesn't have to make sense.

@Just_Tired As Sotomayor said, "If homeless people aren't allowed to sleep anywhere, are they supposed to just "kill themselves"?
