My column on Trump's racist post: "The idea that some junior staffer, in the middle of the night, would send out such an explosive tweet in the president’s name without the president’s knowledge and approval is simply unbelievable."

We're gonna hear a lot about the voting-centered SAVE Act. It's really designed to save the GOP's ass in the midterms. It's up for consideration in Congress and must be stopped to SAVE Democracy. @ariberman.bsky.social on what's in the bill.

@AriBerman.bksy.social says the seizing of the ballots in Fulton County Georgia is likely, in itself, to cause voters to stay away from the polls. The secret ballot is on the menu for
Donald Trump and his GOP enablers.

Think the news is crazy? With Shirish Date, senior White House correspondent @HuffPost.com, @allansmith.bsky.social, Politics Reporter @NBCNews.com and @miacmccarthy.bsky.social, covering Congress @Politico.com can help you navigate the chaos.

'If the Post is, in fact, losing $100 million a year, Bezos could absorb those losses for five years - for what he makes in a single week. It's not that Bezos can't afford the Post anymore, he just doesn't care. He'd rather suck up to Donald Trump.'

"Among the attacks on journalists, the arrest and prosecution of Lemon is especially troubling and should strike fear in the hearts of every American, liberal or conservative. He did his job. He did not commit a crime. He committed an act of journalism."

Looks like Affordability will be front & center in the midterms. Two advisors from the Cost Coalition, @andrewbatesnc.bsky.social and Terry Holt on the pod today. I started with the basics. What do people mean when they say, "Affordability?"

me, too.

Homan pledged to frustrate places that resisted Trump’s immigration policies by sending in ICE. In Minnesota, ICE has had a heavy hand, including killing a protester. Now Trump cites the peaceful but hostile pushback as a rationale for bringing in troops.
This, not Venezuela, is the dog-wagging.

A sad week. These great journalists break it down: @Linda-Feldmann.bksy.social, DC Bureau Chief and WH Correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor, @PBump.com, with MSNOW and IgorBobic.bksy.social, Senior Politics Reporter @HuffPost.com.

"The essence of the Trump regime: Might makes right. We have the power and we have the right to exercise it anyhow, anywhere, any time we want - against perceived enemies - regardless of the law - and by violence, if necessary. For him, violence is good."

Even though Trump smartly (and it turns out falsely) rejected endless wars and nation building during the campaign, the neocons and military interventionists of the Bush years just might recognize the new Trump Foreign "Policy."

I think we are the two perfect people to deconstruct the hypocrisy of "Christian" supporters of Donald Trump: me, a former seminarian, and @JohnFugelsang.bsky.social , the son of a former nun and former Christian brother. Let's begin with Mathew 25.

Last week Donald Trump went to a Pennsylvania Casino (irony is dead) to speak about "affordability." We learned nothing about that, but Dr. John Gartner, says we did see more signs of Trump's dementing on display.

In my newspaper column, I wrote about the crazy late-night screed from Donald Trump. @pbump.com said it needs to be read out loud to understand just how bonkers it is. So we had an AI voice read it. And now think what you'd do if your grandpa did this.

Unlike Donald Trump, who has trouble with percentages, today's guest, @ByJacobWard.bsky.social, can do the math. And he crunches the numbers on the people openly talking about suicide on Chat GPT every week. It's a lot and dangerous.
