If you care about criminal system reform, Project 2025 would allow the DOJ to prosecute reform-minded district attorneys.

Yet again, we see the loudest yelps of “1776 BAYBEE!!!” from Christian Patriots who don’t know the first fucking thing about the history of the country over which they claim to have exclusive ownership. 2 out of 8 ain’t bad, I guess.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

I read thru the Dept of Interiors section (as much as I could without vomiting). It's heinous. I did a mini-thread at the time. IANAL, but I am committed to Native matters, which it utterly guts.

The framing of this headline and subhead are so bizarre. The "sticking point" is that Hamas wants a permanent ceasefire to be, in fact, acknowledged as permanent and the Israelis avowedly do not.

Whether Biden drops out or continues, I expect a primary target of foreign info operations this year to be the legitimacy of the Democratic candidate and the legimitacy of the courts in relation to the the GOP candidate. Expect them to target audiences on both sides and exploit organic criticism.

If they wanted to make the real, very good point that labeling people who get convicted of felonies as felons and ruining their lives with it is a terrible, counterproductive thing, I'd be on board. But of course all they mean is Trump's felonies are okay.

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.
