Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.”

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s recent First Things essay, “Our Christian Nation,” may warm the hearts of Christian nationalists and confound historians and theologians who worry about continuing threats to the separation of church and state.

Dozens of members of Congress joined with multitudes of religious-right activists for a “National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance” at the Museum of the Bible on Wednesday. Hosted by Jim Garlow of Well Versed ministry and Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, the hours-long event featured wave after wave of politicians and activists taking the stage to deliver various prayers, many anodyne but some more targeted and political.

Put "Cornel West says" at the start of the sentence so we can all ignore what follows.

Republicans want to rule, not govern. They have completely lost any respect for silly things like separation of powers and the will of the people. Republicans are the most serious threat to our democracy that the US has faced since the Civil War.

That's what she was hired for: to take the heat off the man baby. Glass cliff.

The article goes on to point out that DeSantis was shown Elon's comment and then still refused to condemn it. Rhonda's statement against antisemitism rings very hollow when he refuses to denounce antisemitism that's shown to him.

Tax cuts for the rich running up the deficit. The horribly botched COVID response. And the attempted coup. Not to mention all the other crap. Biden's right: our democracy is at stake.

If I ever find myself as a defendant in a fraud trial, maybe I should try repeatedly insulting the judge, prosecutor, and clerk and calling them names, just to see what happens next. Wanna bet I'd find my ass in jail with a contempt charge? Every day, Trump shows there really is a two-tiered justice system.

I listened to him talking on a podcast. Not just satisfied with every conspiracy theory out there, the guy makes up new ones, for example that a mall in Arizona has underground passageways to facilitate the trafficking of children.

If Johnson can't herd the nutbags, that's not a failure because Johnson is a nutbag. Johnson won't cut a deal with the Democrats like McCarthy did. Johnson, like the rest of the nutbags, will crash the US government because that's the plan.

Toss his ass in jail while he awaits trial, just like what happens to regular schmucks who leak classified information.
