DOUTHAT: Let's be honest -- the tone of the administration is not consistently a Christian tone. There is a tone of aggressive uncharity

JD VANCE: Tonal arguments are ways of, frankly, policing working class ways of communication, and covering them in elite preferences

NYT: A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas weeks after Defense Secretary Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu, defense officials said.

If this actually passes - and if we tag $125 million to do it - it will not only be embarrassing *while we're losing an an actual war to Iran*, but it'll have to be added to the "goofy stuff Trump did that will have to be undone" list.

ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program

BROOKE ROLLINS: You can't be serious when you say that

CRAIG: Your own data says that

A precedent wherein GOP-led courts and Republican governors are voiding already cast elections, is a sign that January 6th was prologue (not past) for the Republican Party.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Rep. Norman: January 6th was an issue that was made up in the first place.

Reporter: Made up?

Norman: That was a staged thing from day one.

Reporter: The riot was staged? Your Republican colleagues barricaded themselves in their chamber. You think they were acting?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Here's how the corruption works:

Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump

Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it

Friday: FDA changes the policy

A neighborhood mom once shared that the cost for childcare for her two young sons would have cost her nearly her entire annual salary…if she could even find the spots. But what if we could slash childcare costs by TWO THIRDS?

Michigan Tri-Share does just that - a program that splits childcare costs evenly between the family, employer, and State of Michigan.

And today, my bill to make this program permanent just passed out of the Senate with bipartisan support.

Trump: "All of this is paid for by myself. This is a gift."
Yeah that's why they're voting for the taxpayers to pay $1 Billion dollars for it.

BLUMENTHAL: Who won the 2020 election?

FLOWERS: Legally speaking, Joe Biden was certified

BLUMENTHAL: Your failure to answer that question mocks this committee. Mr Schwartz, who won the popular vote in the 2020 election?

SCHWARTZ: Again, consistent with the--

BLUMENTHAL: This is a factual question!

[Amy Siskind 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸 @Amy_Siskind]

I.R.S. officials prepared a 25-page memorandum outlining what they saw as flaws in Mr. Trump’s suit and advising the Justice Department to move to dismiss it.
I gifted this so you can read it.

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Good morning.

The President of the United States is currently looting the treasury. He’s just taking your money for his own purposes. Billions of it.

And Republicans won’t do anything because their loyalty isn’t to you, it’s to him.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Let’s pass a bell-to-bell cellphone ban so high school can look more like this again.

And speaking of appalling, shocking things Trump did say, here are some of his most recent bangers after the summit in China.

Jonah says what others are afraid to.

The ridiculous taxpayer-funded slush fund to reward his friends and supporters is what Hamilton had in mind when he talked about impeachable offenses.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

The Trump slush fund is a clear cut impeachable offense. https://t.co/nUveUBkApa

A bedrock principle of America’s founding was religious freedom, not a national religion. Theocracy is the stuff of ISIS.
