Evangelical theocrat Mike Johnson says there is a "serious" threat to impose Sharia in America. Last I looked the only policies close to it were imposed by Republicans at the behest of their evangelical puppet masters.
Bullies can be found everywhere: playgrounds, government agencies, the White House, etc. They are all the same, the only difference is when they mature they can be more violent and cruelโjust ask ICE.
Senile Quote of the Day
Regarding the war Trump said, "โAll of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are, right now, walking around with no legs, no arms."

"The notion of 'cultural identity' is dangerous. From a social point of view, it represents merely a doubtful, artificial concept, but from a political perspective it threatens humanity's most precious achievement: freedom."

Republican bigot Rep. Andy Ogles posted that Muslims have no right to live in America. He previously claimed diversityโwhich is the result of depoliticized marketsโmakes America weak. Does that include African Americans? This is today's GOP. Anti-rights, anti-liberty, pro-authoritarianism.
The grossly misnamed Liberty University is now offering internship to students to work in the Trump regime. Students don't need good grades to qualify but they must have voted for Trump and support his authoritarian agenda.
Trump fabricated the claim that the girl's school in Iran wasn't bombed by the US but by Iran. His lie was exposed with new video footage showing the missile was American. This man is incapable of telling the truth.
โSome believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.โ

With the rise of the Religious Right trust in religion dropped. Evangelical politics is harming religion.

In fascist Florida the Republican Reich deleted 400 pages from a 697 page university sociology textbook, including a whole chapter on racism.
They must have the book confused with the Epstein papers mentioning Trump.
Here is Trump Making America Great Again but don't worry, he can afford it.
"The state should not impose a preferred way of life, but should leave its citizens as free as possible to choose their own values and ends, consistent with a similar liberty for others."

The US economy saw job losses, this is a downturn from Trump's dismal results from last year.
20 states are suing Trump over his new import taxes. No, it's not those "free market" Republicans supporting free markets, it's those "socialist" Democrats. Welcome to Orwell's world.
"Liberals must ever insist that each enlargement of the authority and functions of the State must justify itself as an enlargement of personal liberty, interfering with individuals only in order to set free new and larger opportunities."

Nazi Noem is OUT! But don't get too hopeful, Trump appointed someone almost as bad. Typical Narcissist DT blames her for following his bad instructions. And since when is his social media account replacing press conferences? Oh, I forgot, his posts don't ask him questions he can't or won't answer.
Republicans are going after Talarico for condemning the killing of a jogger who was black. Talarico went after the racism involved but Gov. Abbott says that message doesn't work in toxic Texas: "He's toast." So, don't condemn racism in Texas????
