A conversation I have every day with a Trump supporter: Me: "He's been charged with repeatedly falsifying business records." Him: "He's being treated unfairly. It's political persecution." Me: "Ok. He's also been charged in another case with purposely taking classified…

Chicago’s No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams broke the Fanatics record for draft night merchandise sales for any draft pick in any sport, beating the previous record set last week by Caitlin Clark.

Do you ever wish we could go back to the divorce rates from when our parents were born? Good news! We already are. The divorce rate is currently at a 50 year low. Most marriages are happy, and most marriages work out.
A thread on why Trump's legal arguments today revealed his utter unfitness for the Presidency of these United States.
Sometimes, serendipitously, SCOTUS case names get to the essence of the matter. " Loving v. Virginia Trump v. the United States
I was in the Oval Office with Trump when he said a WH staffer he believed leaked an embarrassing story about him should be executed. We may want to take this line of argument from Trump’s attorney extremely seriously.

"Most communication between representatives and the people is done for the purposes of election, that is, getting elected or remaining in power. Candidates communicate using the negative traits of both [active and passive communicators]." @Jmayhugh28 thevitalcenter.com/blog/communica…

This is embarrassing. A U.S. Senator should either be more knowledgeable or more sincere than this. What a joke.
Autocrats make absurd legal arguments plausible. We are all being forced to seriously entertain the notion that the president can execute his political enemies. Not a single justice on the Supreme Court should accept this wildly unconstitutional, authoritarian idea.
Yep, it's the phones
This is a big deal

Forty-odd years after neoliberalism took hold it’s clear it doesn’t work. In fact, it never had either a robust theory or the data to back up its claims. Time to introduce a new, more freeing capitalism that allows all people to live up to their potential. That’s what I do in my…
If we build a more conscientious and informed GOP primary electorate, we won't be going back to 2012 or even 1984, but something better. And it will also force the other party to improve. America wins. 🇺🇸

CRINK is a thing. It is just far less institutional and more transactional than Western pacts. It should not be hyped beyond reason, but it is a far more serious affair than BRICS - and remember all the ink wasted on BRICS.
