💚 Colbert!

Thinking it’s impossible for a person to be cartoonishly evil, completely corrupt, AND a bumbling incompetent on the order of a Scooby Doo villain is a crazy take during the Era of Donald J. Trump, who is relentlessly all three.

We can DEFINITELY enjoy the fact that Trump is miserable. He’s President and he’s miserable. He’s got supreme power and he’s miserable. He’s insecure, resentful, consumed by bitterness and rage and entitlement, incapable of being fulfilled. /1

/2 Has Trump ever felt joy? Has he ever had a truly happy day? Does he have any fond memories at all? Has he ever experienced anything closer to contentment than gloating, or smugness, or fleeting satisfaction in demeaning others?

/3 He’s never loved, he’s never been loved, and he’s never been happy, he never will be. He’ll die unhappy. But not as unhappy as he deserves.

Markey to Carr: "Journalists were covering an important news stories and some conservatives were upset by the coverage, so you used your power as FCC chair to hang a Sword of Damocles over a local radio station's head. That's precisely what you warned about in 2022!"

This is extremely important

This is what Presidential Leadership looks like at the time of an unfathomable American tragedy. #BarackObama

who needs opposition research when you have Trump's chief of staff?

Rob Reiner was the un-Trump. The polar opposite.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

I can't excerpt this entire article so I am imploring you to read it. @amarpeterman.bsky.social takes a complicated Q of how those on the left should respond to Trump's flip-flop on Epstein Files and flips it into a careful, thoughtful, analysis and explanation. I am floored by Amar's work.

No matter what you believe politically or theologically about the LGBTQ+ community, the elimination of this lifeline should infuriate all of us. It is discrimination. It is fearmongering. It is homophobia. It is hate. It is polarized partisanship. It is death-dealing action.

I’ve had enough of “Christians” who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus…but would fail to recognize Jesus if he stood at the southern border, at the grocery store with an EBT card, or in the hospital waiting room without health insurance. amardpeterman.substack.com/p/how-to-cel...

"If our most powerful elites are now essentially beyond the reach of accountability, as they increasingly seem to be, then why suppose that our polity qualifies as a democratic republic at all? It appears to function, rather, as a plutocracy." - Jeff Stout, _Blessed are the Organized_, xv.

"May we learn that living things do not live just for us, that they live for themselves and for you, and that they love the sweetness of life as much as we do, and serve you, in their place, better than we do in ours." - Walter Rauschenbusch, _Prayers of the Social Awakening_

Pre-orders for my first book, "Becoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local," are now available! At the heart of this book is a simple but critical question: How will we live? I believe the answer for Christians is clear: We live as neighbors. www.eerdmans.com/978080288412...

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

@warren.senate.gov publishes a report listing all the $$ that Congress gave to DOD to do DOD things that DOD instead spent on Stephen Miller's snatch and grab. As you look at these numbers, think how much cancer research could have been funded. www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

You’re allowed to say “Merry Christmas” but you’re still not allowed to emulate Christ.

Trump can’t stop falling asleep in public!

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son.
