Honestly this was always the point of Unitary Executive Theory. Not for the president to have absolute power, but that the president's unelected advisors would

🚨President Trump said in an interview on CBS "60 minutes" that he will "be involved" in Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial "to help him out a little bit"

Not beating the scheming viziers allegations

Absolutely incredible "sussing out the views of the Ancien Regime elites' mistresses" energy right here

We need to test the 25th Amendment to see how it works.

Cutting off money to the world's financial capital is gonna add another lever of financial crisis when Wall Street investors panic

Someone is running the Trump White House and it is not Donald Trump

(sounds of tuning guitars intensify)

Maybe going to be the biggest test of our democracy, or what’s left of it

Prosperity gospel has millions believing that billionaires are holy and righteous because "God has blessed their finances."

but there's always a moral panic that some poor person somewhere is spending their snap benefits in ways that allow them to get too much enjoyment out of life.

Prosperity gospel (and the equation of wealth with righteousness) is the poison of the country.

Hegseth bars bearded troops from Air Force event Petty Pete strikes again.

Pentagon boss Pete Hegseth has figured out that he doesn't need a “No Coloreds” sign to ban Black and brown soldiers from military events. He can just ban soldiers with beards.

11Alive news headline: "Woman sits in car for 14 hours to get food during New Birth Baptist church food giveaway More than 2,000 people waited in their cars in line Saturday morning in order to receive food."

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.

Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

“We are united in Christ. We will not stop denouncing the evil of detention and deportation. We cannot be silent in the face of oppression. We will persist until justice flows freely like a river.” - Fr. David Inczauskis, SJ

BLACK RECONSTRUCTION IN AMERICA is basically the book that explains why we're so fucked up. Book of da year.

The Lord's Prayer does not belong in propaganda videos, it belongs on the lips of each Christian every day

The Ten Commandments do not belong on public school walls, but inscribed on the tablets of Christians' hearts

Liturgy is all around us, and some of it wounds, binds, and kills

Gott mit uns is so back, baby.

Also it makes the argument that the dropping of the Atomic bombs had more to do with nascent Cild War politics that what Americans are comfortable remembering

True what it lacks in some accuracy and what we know now about WW2 it makes up for in a well crafted documentary with interviews with those who survived the war

i would give rob manfred money to watch the carribbean world series and the winter leagues, like a decent chunk of it

So so much of all of these “moves” seem aimed at nationwide union busting. Even a glance at the industries impacted most by tariffs—auto/hospitality/Amazon—reflects an alignment with either a strong union or a burgeoning union.
