From evangelical #Christianity to evangelical #Trumpism : the Sermon on the Mountebank
A think tank at Liberty University quickly became the institutional home of evangelical Trumpism. What happens next in a post-Trump world? nyti.ms/3eQwOtk
So.. officially, I'm the last Black staff columnist left in the Washington Post's opinion section.
I drove an ambulance in the eighties. We routinely went to homes for wellness checks to find deceased starved seniors and disabled folks. Most of whom were trying to live on cheap canned cat or dog food. Now trump kills the programs we started to save them. You people are ghouls
I'm tired of this conversation popping up every week. Being disabled means something. We literally can't do things. We aren't getting special treatment. And yes before all these services existed. Disabled people DIED. If you truly cared, you'd advocate for better programs.
Any lipreaders out there?
In this 1992 video, Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein appear together at a party: 1. One became POTUS. 2. Another is serving 20 years for sex trafficking minors. 3. The third died by suicide in federal custody during Trump’s 1st term.

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him: "…I ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew -- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.”
Emails show that IRS chief counsel Andrew De Mello said a recent DHS request did not comply with the law. Two days after refusing the demand to turn over more than 7 million home addresses, De Mello was pushed out of the top legal job. propublica.org/article/trump-…
Obsolete because we are moving into feudal statehood and you peasants are all on your own now. Expect no more coddling with nanny-state notions like enough light to work by and enough wages to survive on.
The U.S. Department of Labor is aiming to rewrite or repeal more than 60 “obsolete” workplace regulations, ranging from minimum wage requirements for home health care workers and people with disabilities to standards governing exposure to harmful substances.…

Hershey is increasing their prices by 20% due to higher prices from tariffs. And take a wild guess who is paying for all of it?

The claim by Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, that protesters in Kyiv and other cities want Zelensky to make a peace deal with Russia, is false. These protests are against a bill signed into law by Zelensky which critics say weakens Ukraine's anti-corruption authorities.
Huge protests erupt in Kyiv against Ukrainian President Zelensky as he is a dictator and refuses to make a peace deal and end the war. Good for the Ukrainian people! Throw him out of office! And America must STOP funding and sending weapons!!!
This is an absolute abomination. If Trump attempts to emasculate America’s capacity to combat carbon emissions, he will be reviled—rightfully. And he will be stopped!
