I think the Pratt thing is a bad sign for the GOP.
They ran a reality TV ex-celebrity who ran on a platform of "homeless people rape dogs" and he lost. They're convinced he should have won. They're moving past the point where they learn rational lessons from election defeat.
I’ve 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. 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. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, 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 “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Feel like the real issue with Trump is not that he's a scumbag (he is!) but that he is an aspiring authoritarian using the state to punish his perceived enemies and engaging in unprecedented corruption after working to overturn the results of a free and fair election.
"Trump is a prisoner of other peoples decisions."
In a call with @EdwardGLuce, Trump said he "calls the shots" on the Iran war.
He told Netanyahu not to retaliate to Iran's missiles - hours later, they did.
@maitlis asks: Is Trump impotent in the Middle East crisis?
The details about the Tate brothers in this @newyorker profile are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and heroes to the "conservative" MAGA movement

🚨Price increases — Coming this summer to a grocery store aisle, gas station, and airfare ticket near you!
We’re running this video ad as part of Home of the Brave’s new Sticker Shock Summer campaign to show the public the real price tag of the Trump administration’s agenda.
Trump’s day:
1. Begged Iran and Israel to stop bombing each other
2. Posted some "election fraud" BS
3. Shut down midtown
4. Got booed at MSG and Bryant Park
5. Stuffed his face with fries and pizza
6. Took a nap
7. Left before the game ended and Knicks lost
OMFG. This made up nonsense again. Does no journalist have the courage to say it to his face…”Sir, you have said this twenty times, and nothing has remotely changed.”
This is an astonishing turnaround in public opinion, one of the legacies of Bibi Netanyahu. And because it is most evident among younger Americans, it is not yet fully felt in the political system.
DID YOU KNOW!?
California has more voters than any other state!!
DID YOU KNOW!? Mark Meadows was implicated in an attempt to steal an election via fraud. He IS the criminal Republicans are warning you about.
