Mike Pence aborted his campaign after 5 months, well into the second trimester.

The last Army base to use the name of a traitor has been renamed Ft. Eisenhower.

“The Hamas attack resembled a medieval Mongol raid for slaughter & human trophies—except it was recorded in real time & published to social media. Yet since #Oct7, Western academics, students, artists, & activists have denied, excused, or even celebrated the murders by a #terrorist sect that proclaims an #antiJewish genocidal program.

Gonna Trick-or-Treat as a minority with a voter registration card just to scare the shit out of Republicans in the neighborhood.

Raw Story:
'Political consequences': Watergate prosecutor explains why Trump isn't in jail yet

Wine-Banks...
"If this was anyone not named Donald Trump, they would have already been jailed for contempt..."

$15,000 is not going to have an impact on him. $50,000, $500,000 -- he is getting the money from his political supporters... the judge has to weigh. Do I go all the way to jail? Or do i just keep raising it?"

The sooner Netanyahu, Bin Salman, Elon Musk, Marc Andreesson, Peter Thiel, Jack Dorsey, Ayatollah Khamenei, Erdogan, Orban, Putin, and Trump are relegated only to the history books, the better for our species.

Special shout out to Goebbels acolyte Desantis for equating 1st grade teachers to terrorists.

The goal of Republicans nationwide (especially after the election of right-wing crank Mike Johnson to the House speakership) is to pull a full bait-and-switch, acting as if voters demanded abortion bans that demean and devalue our families. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/election-2023-abortion-republicans-rcna122327

@MotherJones he was just grifting the extreme Christians for a livelihood, telling them what they want to hear. Hey, it was a living. Now he’s trapped in all kinds of statements he made. Tough luck, pal. Selling your soul…
Or he actually does believe this crap.

Please keep this in mind.

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

Yes, the Gaza Health Ministry is part of Hamas. It was originally created, it appears, for the purpose of purging Fatah loyalists from Gaza's hospital system.

Steven Beschloss asks readers what they hear when Mike Johnson tells us he has been "ordained" by God to be House Speaker — and what this portends for the future. Johnson announced in his first statements after being made Speaker that God had "ordained" him for this office.

I hear theocracy. And hubris. And self-righteous arrogance. And total lack of respect for democracy and the vibrant pluralism of American democracy.
