Paul Waldman asks how the Republican party is getting away with presenting itself as the enemy of antisemitism, when:

1. "It is wholly committed to fostering a conspiratorial worldview that inevitably arrives at antisemitism."

2. "It seeks to create an international alliance of far-right authoritarians."

3. "Both substantively and rhetorically, it echoes the fascists of the past who sought to wipe Jews from the earth."

@purplepadma I’d never heard of it before the series. I never watch a movie based on a book I’ve read. It always leads to disappointment.

@ai6yr Could be worse. I came home from my cruise last month with double pneumonia.

House Speaker Republican Mike Johnson told reporters Tuesday that his office notified Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer’s staff the day before that if the Senate leader does not sign the draft invitation for Netanyahu by Tuesday, he will proceed with inviting the Israeli prime minister to address just the House. The Speaker, however, noted that he would invite senators to attend the speech.

Republicans just don't care what damage they cause in their quest for power sadly.

I must say, these new extra-strength placebos are doing wonders for my hypochondria!

🚨 This story needs to be everywhere:

Donald Trump posted a video about "What's Next For America" if he were to become president.

Underneath, it touts "the creation of a UNIFIED REICH" – straight out of Nazi Germany.
