Since then, right-wing charlatans have taught American Evangelicals than helping people is “woke” and not at all consistent with the teachings of “Republican Jesus.”

In the 1980s, empathy was a huge engine of creative — and commercial — success in music.

“That’s What Friends Are For”

“Ebony and Ivory”

.. and “We Are the World”, which debuts today in 1985.

GasBuddy data on diesel prices show the latest 3-, 5-, 6-, and 7-day increases all rank among the largest *ever* recorded.

Diesel jumping by almost $1 — in one week — should go over well in Texas. ⛽️

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

#MadmanTrump is still gleefully kissing Putin's arse while Putin tells Iran where to target our military. Republicans are watching the devastation and death and doing nothing. And Zelenskyy is between a rock and a hard place in all of this. Ugh.

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

BREAKING:

A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media — which oversees Voice of America — and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.

Well…
That sure is interesting

DOJ docs, FBI interview, raise new questions about Epstein's "suicide" Notes from an FBI interview indicate that prison guards discussed "cover-up"

I don't want to call it Twitter anymore
It's not Twitter.

It's a shell of what it used to be. Like an ex that, the longer you're away from them, the more you realize they suck.

So yeah, X is fitting... 👍🏻

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

David Copperfield’s name is all over the Epstein files.

It’s no secret. I even posted about him years ago.

He’s stepping down from his Las Vegas residency.

Not good enough.

Why hasn’t he been dragged in front of James Comer and the House Oversight Committee for a hearing?

Healey: He offered comments that are detached from the reality of most Americans. I mean, most Americans right now are not out celebrating the Dow. They’re trying to figure out how to pay for housing…

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Prison Guard Made Mysterious Big Deposits and Google Searches Before Epstein’s Death: DOJ One of the guards responsible for checking on Jeffrey Epstein's well-being while he sat in a Manhattan jail cell googled him minutes before he was found dead.

Nothing to see here …

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOP’s traditional strength on all three.

Trump might end the war on a claim of victory, dial back paramilitary violence against Americans, and enjoy some kind of economic resurgence. Yet right now, George W. Bush’s fate is beckoning. trib.al/THyRSJW

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
