Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel:

Senate Republicans just blocked a resolution to force Trump to end his immoral, unconstitutional war on Iran.

John Fetterman voted with Republicans, and Rand Paul voted with Democrats.

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.

As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.
Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new AP-NORC/Harris poll finds
A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults think personal choices are a major driver of poverty and homelessness, while fewer blame a lack of government support.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has never before waived a sex offense public safety factor (their own policy) for a transfer to a minimum-security camp, where inmates can have access to the outside community
Maxwell’s former lawyer just admitted what we all suspected: The sexual abuser and Epstein accomplice was transferred to a nicer, minimum-security prison so that she could give the Trump administration something in exchange.

Like a favorable testimony. newrepublic.com/post/200178/...

this is such a depressing misread of why Trumpism wins

American voters aren't drawn to parables

They want an enemy and they want to see that enemy hurt
‘The Bible doesn’t tell us about research studies conducted by Saint Peter. Data is going to lose to parables every time.’ (Paraphrasing)

This is why bizarre bs, rumors, and propaganda from this administration are so effective. And - filling in the blanks -why the responses have been so inadequate.
