Why evangelicals couldn't care less about Trump's Epstein scandal They have a long history of falling for narcissists posing as Saviors.

Thought Trump's Epstein scandal might bother evangelicals? No, they couldn't care less.

The collective shrug is part of a long evangelical tradition of falling for narcissists who pose as saviors.

As the piece notes, the PragerU propaganda is being used in schools in Louisiana, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina and Idaho.

Check with your district to see if they're using this garbage to brainwash your kids.

Note to Kristi Noem:

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirementβ€”they removed the age requirement. Now, at any ageβ€”you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

Denying transgender service members their retirement after 15+ years of honorable service is cruel, unjust, and un-American.

They served with dignity. Now they’re being cast aside. I won’t stand for itβ€”I’ll keep fighting for our LGBTQI+ heroes.

What if Pam Bondi did decide to open an investigation into why I stopped posting on Twitter? Would the legacy media treat it with outrage or with skeptical bemusement?

Or would everyone just look away and hope it doesn’t happen to them next? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

School vouchers are a scam to send taxpayer money to private religious schools. Vouchers are also a violation of church and state.

A convicted felon says will meet with an indicted for war criminal to discuss the invasion the UN declared illegal.

It's not a "peace summit", it's a criminal conspiracy.

Historical black and white image of a large group of prisoners from Mauthausen concentration camp descending a narrow, rocky path at a significant slope. The individuals are carrying stones in baskets and containers on their backs. The surrounding environment is rugged with sparse vegetation, pointing to a hilly or mountainous region.

8 August 1938 | The first group of prisoners was transferred from Dachau camp to #Mauthausen. This date marks the beginning of operation of this German Nazi concentration camp. During this phase, the prisoners had to build the camp and set up operations in the quarry.

Family separation was rejected by the courts and the public during Trump's first presidency, yet his administration is reinventing this cruel policy to use as an intimidation tactic.

Families shouldn't be separated, period.

The Enumeration Clause very clearly says β€œpersons” are to be counted in the census every β€œ10 yearsβ€πŸ‘‡πŸ½

There is also a β€œCitizenship Clause” β€” but the founders said β€œpersons” NOT β€œcitizens”
