They aren't illegal, they didn't "descend" upon a town, and they're not destroying anyone's way of life. What would destroy our American way of life is if this kind of lying, bigotry, demagoguery, and incitement were to prevail. We cannot let that happen. Never Trump.

Trump: "In Springfield, Ohio, 20,000 illegal Haitian migrants have descended upon a town of 58,000 people destroying their way of life. We cannot let this happen to our country."

I really don’t think Trump has the mental/intellectual rigor to distinguish between fact and fiction. He creates this avalanche of lies and then believes it because it feeds his massive ego and bottomless pit of insecurities. It’s bonkers. And dangerous. #Moron

What happened Saturday is unacceptable. It should never happen again. Toward that end, it isn't "politicizing" the tragedy to point out that no politician has done more to glorify political violence than Donald Trump. That's just the truth. We shouldn't be afraid to say it.

Trump is not of sound mind

Trump claims Civil War didn't have to happen: "You could've negotiated that ... this is something that could've been negotiated ... that was a tough one for our country ... if you negotiated it, you probably wouldn't even know who Abraham Lincoln was ... that would've been okay"

This is obviously deplorable. What’s worse is that tens of millions of Americans crave a leader with no sense of decency. I remember the day when conservatives would bemoan such a development. Now they accept, enable, and embrace such conduct. It’s bigger than Trump’s awfulness.

Trump responds to Biden’s speech by claiming that Biden stuttered through it. He then does his impression of people who stutter

The NYT poll shows Biden leading with likely voters, which is something you wouldn't realize if you read their coverage of their own poll.

Just remember: If the FBI can go over Donald Trump for storing detailed classified Iran war plans next to his toilet, no one with detailed classified Iran war plans next to their toilet is safe.

Does the 13-count federal fraud indictment unsealed today help or hurt George Santos’s chances of winning the Republican vice presidential nomination in 2024?

This isn’t as crazy as it sounds. Gore is now wealthy and well-connected in tech and could put together a group to buy Twitter out of bankruptcy.
If Musk does indeed step down, @algore would be a wonderful CEO for Twitter. Few folks in recent years have on the cutting edge of technology as he has been. Plus, he is a rational actor and a force for good.
