This week, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s new book comes out,
and it contains a disturbing chapter about Donald Trump’s ignorance, explosive rage, and megalomania during the coronavirus pandemic.

We think this should be covered as a loud, clanging alarm bell about the dangers of a second Trump term.

So we talked to New York Timescolumnist Paul Krugman, who has written a series of recent columns on voter amnesia about Trump’s 2020 performance,
about the horrors unleashed on the country by his unfitness for the presidency
—and why recent events suggest he’s gotten much, much worse

@AlliFlowers So, he really needs to be in prison then...

If I was on the hiring team and an interviewee sang Queen to this question, I'd say no need for more questions, you're hired!

A victory for Donald Trump in November’s presidential election could lead to an additional 💥4bn tonnes of US emissions by 2030 💥compared with Joe Biden’s plans, Carbon Brief analysis reveals.

This extra 4bn tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) by 2030 would cause 💥global climate damages worth more than $900bn, 💥based on the latest US government valuations.

For context, 4GtCO2e is
👉equivalent to the combined annual emissions of the EU and Japan, 
👉or the combined annual total of the world’s 140 lowest-emitting countries.
Put another way, the extra 4GtCO2e from a second Trump term
👉would negate – twice over – all of the savings from deploying wind, solar and other clean technologies around the world over the past five years

“They have laundered what is effectively a band of #rapists and #murderers and thugs into resistors,” he told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“They call people who relentlessly dox and harass and intimidate Jewish Australians as peace activists.
“Disinformation is being spread at levels we have not seen before.”

"Wouldn’t you love to see the thank-you notes Cannon sent to Leonard Leo and his pals? I would. But until NPR called up Judge Cannon and asked her about her journeys out to the Montana luxury resort, nobody knew a thing about who had tried to curry favor with her. That was when she hurriedly filled out the forms..."

Nailed, fair and square.

Does anybody believe Cannon is not discussing this case with wild ex parte, listening to suggestions?

Call me crazy but I don't.

What's increasingly obvious is that Jeff Bezos needs to clean house at the top -- to undo the terrible harm he's done by appointing an ethically challenged (putting it politely) former Murdoch apparatchik as CEO.

If Bill Clinton raped girls on Epstein’s island, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

If Donald Trump raped girls on Epstein’s island, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

It’s critical to see yourself in literature, says Laurence Yep, award-winning author of "Dragonwings." "The popular American books about white children in the suburbs seemed as much fantasy to me as the Oz books." #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

There’s not a media conspiracy to portray antisemitism during protests where it doesn’t exist. These people are doing a very easily seen job of being antisemitic all on their own.
