Pete Hegseth reposts video that says women shouldnโ€™t be allowed to vote Progressive evangelical group says ideas shared by pastors and amplified by defense secretary are โ€˜very disturbingโ€™

The faith space/denomination Hegseth and other MAGA politicians align with, is perhaps the most regressive and frightening in the US.

Stacey Abrams breaks down how to lose a democracy. Great summary to have in your hip pocket for those moments you might have a real conversation with MAGA...

Opinion | America Will Suffer From Trumpโ€™s Assault on Facts

Trump treats facts in the same way that he treats people: He expects them to line up in support of his goals, and if they donโ€™t, he seeks to get rid of them. He is not interested in how many jobs the economy will produce this month. He clearly doesnโ€™t want to know the answer. (gift article - NYT)

Opinion | What to Do When the President Acts Like a Five-Year-Old?

"A basic premise says: Presidents donโ€™t manipulate the scoreboard. Past presidents respected this boundary. Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama took bad news from official statistics on the chin." Trump, throws a tantrum. (by George A. Akerlof - a Nobel-winning economist)

The Forecasted Death Toll of Shuttering USAID Multiple studies have estimated millions will die annually as a result of the Trump Administrationโ€™s closure of the foreign-aid agency.

All of Epstein and its associated distractions, pale in comparison to the now entrenched Trumptilian policy: Studies show that shuttering of USAID Will Lead to Millions of Deaths Around the World... There may be no more singular measure of his wickedness, #OnEarth

His minions prepareth a table before me,
in the presence of the powerless.
They anointeth my rule with compliance;
my clubs overflow.

Surely privilege and cruelty shall follow me
all the days of my reign,
And I shall dwell in the whitest of houses, forever.

Meh, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of blue dogs,
I will fear no consequence:
for Mike is with me;
his rules and his gavel,
they comfort me.

Trump's 23rd Psalm - in three slides (scroll for the entire per-version)

Mike (Johnson) is my shepherd, I shall not lack.
He maketh me lie down at Mar Lago.
He leadeth me beside acquittal.
He restoreth my ego.
He leadeth me in paths of deception,
for my name's sake...

Opinion | Alligator Alcatraz is psychological terrorism The Trump administration created a mosquito-plagued gulag where prisonersโ€™ forbearance is tested.

Best line from Kathleenโ€™ Parkerโ€™s brilliant articleโ€ฆ โ€œIf these men were puppies, there would be riots.โ€

Second best, in regards to Trumpโ€™s love of the nickname โ€œAlligator Alleyโ€ โ€ฆ โ€œThis president is so incapable of empathy, a new word is needed to describe him. Perhaps โ€œTrumptilian.โ€
