NEW: Trump openly admitted he asked a federal prosecutor to investigate California’s primaries after his preferred candidates fell behind — a blatant abuse of executive power.
Our democracy is being dismantled in plain sight, but that's not how national media is treating it, Marc Elias writes.

THIS JUST IN: Pete Hegseth has decided to take away the rank from all military Chaplins- because they're not ‘warfighters’. Since WW One, US Chaplins have won 5 Medals of Honor, 26 Distinguished Service Crosses, 1 Navy Cross, 45 Silver Stars and 719 Bronze Stars for valor.
Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”
Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”
Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”
Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

So the "very stable genius" wants housing prices to go up for sellers but not for buyers. I barely made a B in my intro econ classes but I'm pretty sure that isn't how it works. Expect to see a lot of this clip in the fall.
The # of Haitians who enriched our culture more than this frigid monster is endless. New Orleans is Mobile without them. Pierre Toussaint financed St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. Basquiat's art. Blake Griffin's oops. Ralph Gilles designed the Chrysler 300. Go back to Ireland @megynkelly.
Socialism on steroids. And every farmer/member of @FarmBureau is ok with it.
But their view of a single mom raising two kids working two $12 jobs and needing some food assitance???? Punish her sorry ass.
Christian friends, if you haven’t yet come to the understanding that faith is to this man nothing more than a bargaining chip to get what he wants, you’re intentionally blinding yourself. Everything is transactional to him. Everything. Including you.
Listen to what he says about his Haitian employees: "I wish I had 30 more. They come to work every day, they don't have a drug problem, they will stay at their machine, they'll hit their numbers, they're here to work. That's a stark difference from what we're used to."
Megyn changes with the wind so much, I don’t know if she’s a racist or a vacuous shill who willingly acts like one for $. But here’s the thing about being a part of this era of foul showmanship: it will mark them forever in the eyes of family, friends, community. And before God.

@Acyn Jennings is right about Nixon. In addition to China, Nixon is responsible for the EPA, OSHA and both the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. Kind of ironic though that Jenning's hero Trump is gutting all of those important accomplishments.
