Here we go again.
My Republican colleagues just held another hearing attacking the Southern Poverty Law Center for supposedly โmanufacturing hate.โ
But when it comes to the very real hate groups fueling racism, violence, and extremism across this country, suddenly they have nothing to say.
Instead of confronting the people spreading hate, theyโre attacking the people tracking it.
Spare me the theatrics.
There is no Fโking way Trump is getting out of this one.
He falls asleep at the loud and exciting Knicks game, and then jolts awake suddenly.
What a low energy, sleepy, old man.
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO WHAT HUNTER BIDEN SAYS BECAUSE HE WAS A DRUG ADDICT๐ค BUT PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE MEDICAL ADVICE FROM RFK WHO IS ALSO A FORMER DRUG ADDICT AND A CONSPIRACY NUT ๐
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE ๐
If ICE or federal officers violate your right to record, there should be consequences.
That's why I introduced the Right to Record Act to create a legal pathway to sue and hold them accountable โย because no one is above the law.
Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I donโt think enough people caught.
A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses.
1. I have the right to do it.
2. Heโs not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump.
3. People donโt care.
Thatโs the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what theyโre using to justify everything happening in Washington right now.
Please stand up and prove him wrong.
BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renรฉe Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
New York City spends part of every summer renting goats to fight invasive plants.
Two dozen retired farm goats get trucked in from upstate and turned loose on a two-acre hillside too steep and tangled for human crews to work safely. They go straight for the plants nobody else wants to touch: porcelain berry, mugwort, multiflora rose, English ivy, and poison ivy, which they eat with no reaction at all.
A goat puts away about a quarter of its body weight in vegetation a day, and the herd grazes the invasives down to the root, again and again, weakening them and making them easier to control.
It isn't a gimmick. Goats reach terrain machines can't, can reduce or even eliminate the need for herbicides in some areas, their droppings fertilize as they go, and clearing the tangle is exactly what lets park staff come in behind them to plant native trees and understory that hold the slope.
Cities from California to the Carolinas now rent goats to clear brush and cut wildfire fuel.
Iโve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism.ย But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. Itโs stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. Iโve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnnโs @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to โsmileโ, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say โNo more.โ
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldnโt! And neither should any of us. Itโs unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Do elephants remember who was kind to them?
Yes โ and across decades. Our ex-orphans return to the stockades long after they've gone wild, recognise specific Keepers by name, and bring their wild-born calves home to introduce them. They even come back for help.
Last month, Melia walked her new daughter Moon to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit โ sixteen years after we rescued her. She came back so the people who raised her could meet her calf.
Dear @SecRollins: You lie. The average life cycle of a Screwworm ranges from 14 to 54 days depending on temperature and humidity.
The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you canโt accept responsibility, or even apologize for messing up, you need to resign.
Pope Leo sat with the pilots of a flight from Madrid to Barcelona on the second leg of his Spain tour. The pontiff was invited aboard by one of the captains, and waved at Spanish Air Force fighter jet pilots escorting the plane https://t.co/pbv4UuLWFo
Fascism does not arrive saying โI am fascism.โ It arrives saying โlaw and order,โ โborder security,โ โanti-woke,โ โelection integrity,โ and โnational emergency.โ
Trump says voter fraud should land people in prison.
Agreed. And let's start with the politicians spreading election lies with the goal of illegally interfering with counting ballots.
In California, I just signed a law making that punishable with up to 3 years behind bars.
More to come. FAFO, Donald.
