Reuters is reporting this afternoon that Hamas has killed about 30 people that they referred to as โ€œcollaborators.โ€ Neither Reuters nor the BBC are reporting any other violence in Gaza.

Patelโ€™s language skills are not what we would expect of a lawyer.

Hope it's a good one for everybody!

Republican pols do not care about children dying regularly as much as they care about their checks from the NRA and their high ratings from the NRA.

I thought Trump would be eating TACOs.

No, Good People Don't Still Support Him Everyone believes they're essentially a good human being.

Weaponizing ICE indiscriminately.
Military takeovers of cities.
Destroying vaccine records.
Hiding job numbers.
Concealing child trafficking files.

Again, good people don't support him.

Just finished reading Vera, Or Faith, by Gary Shteyngart. Itโ€™s a beautifully written novel told from the perspective of a very bright 10 year old girl trying to make sense of a world in which she believes she has no place. Shteyngart absolutely nails the ending.

Just finished Vera. A beautiful book; the accolades are well deserved!

Texas Republicans, like Republican pols everywhere, have no interest in governing - they care only about the accumulation of power!

Trump is even less qualified for the Nobel Prize than his judicial nominees are for a seat on the bench.

My two responses:
- Yeah, just replaced the lemmings with ducks.
- I have never committed an intentional act.

Iโ€™m guessing only the first 10-12 fish know theyโ€™re following a duck. The rest just donโ€™t want to miss anything.

Johnson demonstrated spinelessness to get the Speaker job, and he has NEVER deviated. A gutless wonder.

My personal favorite Lehrer song is National Brotherhood Week. Give it a listen (available on Spotify) if you arenโ€™t already convinced he was a comic genius.

Republicans donโ€™t care who they hurt to keep Trump/MAGAโ€™s support, including their own constituency.

Trump is the creepiest creep in the history of creepiness.

Unusual for the Department of Justice to require a nda, but it wouldnโ€™t surprise me here.

California gov. hopeful makes antisemitic Auschwitz comment | The Jerusalem Post California's candidate Langford said he was proud of his "German ancestry" and called Auschwitz a "great work camp," sparking controversy.

www.jpost.com/american-pol... Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Republican Party. Nuff said.

Less obvious, more obvious; it doesnโ€™t seem to matter. Republicans are extremely fact-resistant. Itโ€™s their superpower.

The question you need to answer is what action will be taken when Bondi fails to provide the complete files.

The question Iโ€™m asking today is this:
Does Trump know anyone who is NOT a child predator???

He is a bad, evil person and knows it. With Trump, nearly every statement is an admission.

Trump and his crime family and his cronies have no interest whatsoever in governing; they care only about accumulating and holding on to power, which Trump will continue to monetize to the greatest extent humanly possible.
