At this point, we can't trust any data or economic analysis released by the federal government.

So the prez wants to talk about ETs now... the distraction is a bit transparent, but maybe this one will backfire on him. (Caption courtesy of a Start Trek Universal Translator.)

Three colorful aliens waving at us, with caption reading "Take us to your leader... we want to talk to him about the Trump-Epstein files."

I think this distraction plan might backfire on him...

Do they really not realize how bad this looks? Failure to share the evidence with an authorized state criminal investigatory agency is a clear indication of a federal cover-up designed to protect the guilty.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Good Lord, the Philistines are storming the gates. Actually, calling this administration Phlistines is an insult to Philistines everywhere (and probably above the reading level of anyone in the administration).

It grieves me that we imagined these weapons, then designed these weapons, used our tax dollars to manufacture these weapons, allowed corporations to profit from the sale of these weaons, then looked away when someone used these weapons. My God! The inhumanity! Our guilt is collective.

Yeah, bring back child labor and eliminate Social Security. That should solve our debt crisis!

Or we could just increase taxes on millionairs and close loop holes on corporate taxes.

Fact-checking Trump's claim the U.S. is the 'only country' that uses mail-in voting President Donald Trump vowed to take action against voting by mail, which he said makes the United States an outlier.

Fact Check: 34 nations use some form of mail-in balloting.

...and a generation or two to repair the damage he is causing to our international relations.

Midas turned everything he touched into gold. Trump turns it into shit.

Well, it's a start...

Rep. Collins is the stupid one for not fact checking those numbers.

Reading Proficiency: 36%
Math Proficiency: 33%
Graduation Rate: 91%

Nope.

A simple Google query for this school:
Reading Proficiency: 36%
Math Proficiency: 33%
Graduation Rate: 91%
Not great, but not nearly as bad as the made up numbers reported in the meme.

...and 90 million eligible voters did not vote. I blame them as much as the 78 million who voted for this national embarassment.

They could solve this confusion by renaming ICE something else... say maybe Gestapo.

What a vile, vile man!

The theology of mainline (or progressive) Christianity is the best kept secret of the past 75 years. To our great shame and embarassment, mainline pastors have largely failed to communicate to the masses the lessons we learned in our systematic theology classes in seminary.

Markey: Vance said that he was just doing his job. Murdering a young mother and orphaning her child is not a job. It is a crime

If the coast guard can do S&R, why the heck can't they do a standard interdiction. I know, I know... No explosions and big fancy weapons. Sigh.

Trump’s Murderous Caribbean Campaign Is Worse Than ‘War’ The U.S. military’s deadly and illegal strikes on civilian boats have extraordinary consequences.

My latest for @sojo.net on the Trump administration's unlawful boat strikes in international waters:

You mean like Trump, Miller, Rubio, and Cruz...

Great analogy.

Thanks for sharing this, Karen. Speaks deeply this year.

I can think of far better ways to restore decorum and professionalism at State, beginning with replacing Rubio.

Let me introduce you to the woman in the mirror...

You will be missed, Cynthia. I've been a faithful reader throughout the fourteen years and have greatly appreciated your work as we've navigated these trying years in United Methodism.

Dear Senator Cruz, objectively on the merits, the case can be made that the children of America deserve a better leader and a better future...

This woman identifies as a lifelong Roman Catholic. Sigh.
