Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Why do Republicans tell such obvious lies to #MAGA voters? Fear. Politicians think Republican voters are afraid. And they want to keep them scared.

True! @andrewlseidel.bsky.social

Kirk was unquestionably a Christian Nationalist. Some of his most viral videos are of him pushing CN propaganda that you can trace directly back to the granddaddy of Christian Nationalist disinformation, David Barton. It's the most accurate description of his ideology.

For example the GOP lawmaker, a Christian nationalist, said it was "prejudicial" to label Kirk a Christian nationalist. But it is a factual statement. He was labeled Christian nationalist by mainstream media! Christian nationalists embrace him! He espoused their views! www.akmemo.com/cancel-cultu...

*A Republican lawmaker objected to reference to Charlie Kirk holding “often racist and controversial views” in local Alaska news *The corporate owner took down the story and edited it *The journalists resigned This feels like more and more of our media now. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

If we did a top 10 list of the stupidest things ever said by an American president, would any president besides Trump be on that list? I'm not talking about mistakes or slips of the tongue, but genuinely stupid things. This is a serious question.

It's important to name the tools of authoritarianism so we can identify and condemn them with precision. I'm glad we now have a term for ICE's openly racist, degrading immigration arrests: Kavanaugh stops. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Trump opens with a threat to the generals: "I've never walked into a room so silent … Have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud ... If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. but you just feel nice and loose."

This is dumb on so many levels. But perhaps the stupidest aspect is the denial of climate change, which actually cripples our military readiness. From where to build bases, to where to expect conflict (esp. re potable water and mass migration), to our military's reliance on oil to function. Moronic.

Yeah, I just want a digital receipt—not TEN THOUSAND emails about your specials. You're a bakery I went to once in a city I'll never visit again.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Donald Trump's Religious Liberty Commission is meeting today. It's not a celebration, defense, or vindication of religious freedom—it's an attack on the separation of church and state.

Here we go: www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/p...

This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming

Ken CHESEBRO, an architect of Trump's bid to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election, has been suspended from practicing law in D.C. (he'd already been disbarred/suspended in several states) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Remember that case you lost? The one where you said a loss would relegate Christians 'to bottom-of-the-barrel status in our society — below socialists and Nazis and Klan members and panhandlers'? Well, we want you to overturn it." Care to guess his vote? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The Congressional Freethought Caucus (fighting for a secular America and reason-based policy), led by @rephuffman.bsky.social and @raskin.house.gov, now has more members than the House Freedom Caucus (MAGA Christian Nationalists).

SCOTUSblog had long called the shadow docket by its neutral term, the “Emergency Docket,” but the site has just switched to Kavanaugh’s new preferred term, “Interim Docket.” Dispatch Media’s helping Brett make fetch happen.

“Absolutist,” “hostile,” “Orwellian,” “full extermination,” “cleanse public schools.” These are some of the words and phrases Kavanaugh used to argue in favor of imposing Christian prayers on students at public high school football games in a landmark 2000 Supreme Court case.

I know about a pretty big scoop on Brett Kavanaugh that should be dropping Monday at a big outlet. If you think SCOTUS is corrupt now,

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact. www.courts.state.hi.us/wp-content/u...

This is pretty remarkable and something I hope to see more of. The court, without NYT even responding to Trump's absurd lawsuit, dismissed the lawsuit because it was so utterly bereft of anything resembling lawyering. I hope we see opposing counsel stick it to Trump's attorneys now.

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

This is correct. The only way to stop a bully is to stand up to that bully.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Guys, seriously. Please just read the bible you so loudly proclaim to follow. There's a whole thing about golden statues pretty early on.

First Amendment attorney here. They are 100% allowed to do that.

No for-profit private corporation exists to protect free speech, even as an American value. They exist to make money. But it's as ridiculous for these execs to think that caving to an authoritarian to lessen the pressure, when it gives Trump more power and will do the opposite.

You would think this take is so impossibly bad that it could not be real. But it is.

Also called murder. And, because of the six conservative justices on this Supreme Court, Trump & Co. will continue to do this, and worse.

absolutely repugnant, gutfeld completely dismisses the assassination of melissa hortman, calls it a "bull shit" example of political violence

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

A “response” to their Supreme Court issuing a ruling after due process. It isn’t enough that have destroyed the integrity of our Supreme Court. Now they arrogate to themselves the power to demand that the high court in other nations subvert the rule of law as well. This is insane.

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks Trump’s effort to fire Lisa Cook as a governor of the Federal Reserve Board during litigation. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump + Epstein Shot, chaser, and explainer. All absolutely disgusting.

@andrewlseidel.bsky.social nailed it. Dems should call for court expansion at every campaign rally.

Hearing a Catholic bishop like Robert Barron here talk about mentioning gender in a classroom as tantamount to the abuse of children is really something. Could've sworn there was something in the bible about getting your own house in order first....

Going live on Insta to react to Trump's announcement at the Religious Liberty Commission, including the flood of Christian Nationalist propaganda.

During the "America Prayers" announcement at the Religious Liberty Commission meeting, a speaker talked about Ben Franklin's prayer at the Constitutional Convention, leaving out that the proposal was REJECTED. Everyone “except for 3 or 4 persons, thought prayers unnecessary,” wrote Franklin.

Trump announced "America Prays" to commemorate 250years of American independence. But the Chaplain who gave America prayer its first prayer ... was a traitor. He denounced Washington, independence, the army, and more. The full story is on One Nation, Indivisible. redcircle.com/shows/60d1cb...

All of the witnesses were Christian. No mention of states imposing religious doctrine on students (e.g., 10 Commandments); injecting religious doctrine into school curriculum; replacing guidance counselors with Christian chaplains; and more. All of which is happening in Dan Patrick's home state, TX.

Trump's Religious Liberty Commission is meeting. But it's not a government meeting—it's a Christian worship service in the Museum of the Bible. Christian prayer. Christian professions of faith. And not a single non-Christian commissioner on the stage. It's Christian Nationalism.

"Numbers tend to benefit the left." That's because the Right builds its narratives on lies; and lies are disproven with facts. Vaccines save lives. Tariffs are taxes on consumers. America was NOT founded as a Christian nation. Election results reflect the votes cast. Jan 6 was a failed coup. Etc.
